Office and All Boards
Organized
/
UNION COUNTY FOUND
!IN EXCESS OF QUOTA
With Thirty-three More Men
in Service Now Than
Called For.
yWith all duplicate registration
cards in the governor's office and
|j the f)() local boards in South Carolina
duly organized South Carolina lias
been reported ready for the drafting
or this State's quota of men for the
great National army. South Carolina
is called to furnish 10,081 men.
Official notice of the quota to be selected
by each board will be sent to
the chairman today.
One South Carolina county, Union,
will not send a man for service under
the selective service act. This
county has alraedy S3 men in the
National Guard and regular army in
excess of' Its quota. Union's quota is
274 men arid the county now has 307
men in service.
The distribution of the State's
quota of 10,081 is reached by taking
the gross quota of the State 15,121
and deducting the number of men in
the Natinoal Guard and enlistments
in the regular army from Aprjl 1 to
June 30, 5,040.
Two cities are organized with local
boards, Columbia and Charleston.;
Columbia being called on to furnish
100 men and Charleston 304. Richland
county will send 205 and Charleston
county 240. The city of Charleston
has two boards, one having
. jurisdiction in the lower six wards
and the other in the upper six wards.
Tin first board will furnish 113 men
and the second 191.
In Anderson, Greenville, Orangeburg,
Spartanburg and York more
than one local board is organized.
Their jurisdication and the quota
follows: Anderson, No. 1, Anderson
and lower county, 109; No. 2, Pendleton
and western section, 96; No.
3, Helton, Houea Path and eastern
section, 68;
iCk Spartanburg, No. 1, western section,
176; No. 2, eastern section, 160;
No. 3, central section, 105.
| Greenville, No. 1, upper section,
79; No. 2, central section, 203; No. 3,
low&r section, 94.
Orangeburg, No. 1, northern section,
283; No. 2, lower section, 186.
York, No. 1, eastern section, 121;
No. 2, western section, 125.
L Credits of National Guardsmen to
various counties were furnished by
commanders of the South Carolina
units. The enlistments in the regular
army came from the adjutant
creneral of the United States. On ac
I count of the coast counties having
men in the naval militia which is not
included in the credits, these counties
wore credited with 171 men in
* t! Carolina National Guard
whose permanent addresses are in
! other States. The excess of 33
Union men were credited to the other
counties by population.
The gross quota required to be
[furnished in men from Horry is 279.
From this is deducted the number of
45 men already in the army service
from this county, thus leaving 233
men who must come from Horry
County under the drawing that is to
take place in a few days.

AMERICAN AIRMEN
TO END THE WAR
Governor Cox Says They Wit:
Reach Essen and
Kiel.
Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind.?
Belief that "American men of the
air" flying in American airplanes
will end the vfar and establish permanent
peace, which will be an ample
compensation for all sacrifices,
was expressed by Gov. James ivl.
Cox, of Ohio, in an address this afternoon
to Ohio men trying for commissions
in hte officers' reserve
camp. The men were told of th?
gratitude and pride felt by the people
of this State for their offering
their services to the country and the
civilized world in the interest of dem ocracy.
"From the facts possessed," said I
Gov. Cox, "I form the positive belief <
that American aviators will break ]
into the skyline of Germany like i
birds in migration?not for the pur- j
pose of killing women and children 1
nor of wreaking human slaughter in j
any form?but the American bird- 1
men will reach Essen and Kiel and
destroy not only the navy of Ger- <
many, but every institution which '
continues the menace of Prussian i
imperialism. We are not fighting 1
the German people, but are seek:ng 1
to strike down the products of dui^- 1
gerous Prussian leadership." ]
Guarantee of Peace. j
That the impossibility of its re- '
currence will be the only thing which 1
will make the war worth while, and *
that this i3 ample compensation for '
any sacrifices which may be made, in (
order to give our children and our 1
children's children a guarantee of
peace," was the statement of the.
Ohio governor.
America's entry into the war was
not made, on the impulse of the moment,
according to Gov. Cox, who .
continued:
"It is this spirit of an enlightened
internationalism?.it is the cry of rc <
lief from nations bent by the bur-'|
dens of the ages?that has stiriedi|
the heart of America and sends usj(
forth to help in giving unto others j
what has been given unto us." ' \
In concluding, Gov. Cox said that |
after peace comes "it will then be .
your duty to 'hold the fort' until the (
product of American genius and in- .
dustry is ready to strike." j (

MANYTHOUSANDS
BROUGHT TO CON WAV
I I
Investigation shows that nearly |.
one hundred and fifty thousand \
p(unds of leaf tobacco was sold at ,
Conway on the opening sales. The <
average price ranged from fifteen
to twenty cents per pound, and near
ly the sum of $25,000.00 was pai l j
out by the buyers here to the farmers
of the county. The record at
Conway warehouses was broken both ,
in regard to the amount of the leaf
scld, and the high prices realized for
the tobacco. Prices ranged from si*
I cents to as high as thirty on the
floors.

i
The opening sales of leaf tobacco;
took place in this county on last
Thursday, the warehouses at Conway,
Aynor and Loris# all doing a
big business, chiefly in the lowest
grade, or sand-lugs as they are
known to the trade. The warehouse
men and merchants at Conway threw
in the expenses of furnishing a barbacue
for the growers who came to
the Conway market. A big picnic
was on the program at Aynor.
At an early hour here last Thursday
morning the town was. filledwith
numbers of growers who came .
in with their teams each bringing
cad of the. first curings, or sandugs.
Many farmers had brought in
cts on the first days of the week.
I5y the time for the sales to begin
just before the middle of the day,
:he warehouses were all filled with
piles of the leaf. The sales started
it about the regular hour and lasted
through the day, leaving a quantity
>? tobacco in one of the large warelouses
still unsold, and the work was
Finished of course in regular ordcv
)n the following day.
All of the farmers wore pleased
with the prices they received for
;heir product. Only the lowest grade
A the crop was offered, but even
ibis brought as high as twenty-five
*ents per pound, and while the prices
realized for some of the tobacco,
dill none of it failed to bring a much
lighre price than the finest grades
jrought in former years. It is genii
ally conceded that the prices will
lold up during the entire season,
l ough of course this is not sure.
Farmers are advised to sell as scon
\s possible. The product may no
lam aged while being stored at home
;nd the fortunes of war might
ihange in some way and unexpectedv
cause a nanic in this or ?nv nthro
ine of business.
Conway was full of people through
)ut the day of the opening sales,
itany farmers being forced by the
*ush of the business at the warehouses
to remain here until in the
ate afternoon to wind up the business
of their sales. Many prominent
jeople from different sections of the
county attended the sales.
All of the warehouses of the Con,vay
market were open and doing
>usiness. They are the Peoples
Warehouse, Horry Tobacco VVarelouse,
Farmers Warehouse, and the
Planters Tobacco Warehouse. All of
;hese are under good management
and all of the managers seem to take
lelight in giving the farmers the
>est service that is possible.

Berlin.?Emperor William has <li

president of the state ministry:
"Upon the report of my state min

decree of April 7 of the current year.
I herewith decide to order a supple

..-.J Wbia UVMIUIUIVI At IKIJirS out ?IVdices
received from Copenhugon la.t
night to the effect that the results o'
the German political crisis thus fai
are comparatively small. The introduction
to the emperor's decree o
the phrase, "equal franchise," mereh
restores a provision, which, accord
ing to Berlin gossip, was obtained ii
the original draft of the emperor':
Easter manifesto and was eliminat
ed at the last moment in consequent
of reactionary intrigue. It was als
pointed out that the new imperia
announcement does not prescribe im
mediate adoption of the reforms in
asmuch as the next elections ma>
not take place until after the wa,.
and there is not. a word of thn ino-n
miction of parliamentarism in th
imperial administration.
TOBAGCO MARKETS
OPEN FOR SEASON
Last Thursday was opening da;
for many of the tobacco markets ithe
sections of the State in whirl
the "weed" is grown commercially
and without exception the prices re
ceived by the growers seem to havi
been satisfactory. In a number oi
the towns from which reports of th*
opening day's business have been received
sales above the average were
recorded, with most of the big tobacco
concerns of the country represented
by buyers, all apparently eager t'
secure as big amount of the offerings
as possible.

I..ORIS MARKET A WINNER.
Loris, July 1C>.?Loris retains tin
well earned title of being Horry
County's best and largest Tobacco
Market. The owning day, Thursday
July 12th, was one of the greatest
openings ever witnessed on the local
market. There was about 140,000
noundft of t.nhjifVr. ?oM hrn*o lvith mm
average price of 1(> cents. There was
pot a grower that regretted bringing
his tobacco to Loris. Everyone
was highly pleased with the price
obtained.
The various companies are represented
on the local market with an
exceptionally able corps of buyers.
I.nri<4 market is the heme- of high
prices and the place where everybody
gets a square deal. Try and
see for yourself.

Industrial and Financial
Power
Now York.?Equitable fixation of
food and war supply prices and tin
assurance in this respect of the same
treatment of the armies of the Entente
Allies as of the American army
itself were declared to be the great
duties of the United States, at the
present moment by Andrew Tardieu
French high commissioner, in an ad
dress before the Era nee-American S
ciety at the Hankers' Club here to
day.
He proposed the formation "in Fu
rope as near the front as possible o!
an inter-allied committee to central
i'/.e all the demands, to study an?l
control them ami submit tlmm f.?
I you, grouped according to their urgency
in relation to military opera,
tions, on behalf of the Allies."
War Discipline Needed.
For the United States, he said
"there needs to bo a reform in your
public life, not by any means *?
change in ideal but a change in met!
od . Your formidable industrial and
financial power has been set in mo.
tion. The time has come to adjust it
to the necessities of the hour by imposing
on that power a war discipline."
The German press prophesied, he
said, that "the hour is approaching
when the needs of Europe and thosi
of the United States will clash, when
the difference in prices, the conflict
01 orders, the dispute for factories
will dsetroy the hopes sprung out of
the declaration of war,"
To set at naught "the insolvent
hope of our Enemies," he sitid, "the
United States must organize its own
resources without ceasing to supply
its Allies, a problem calling for tin
concentration of all financial, eco
ncmic ana numan resources in tin
hands of the government."
"Congress has voted the con'acrip
tion of men," he said. "It remains
to organize the conscription of material
means. To that end two conditions
must be fulfilled a thorough
knowledge of those means and an
equitable fixation of prices insuring
to the Allied armies the same treat
ment in America as to the American
army itself, because we are now one
common army fighting in a common
cause."
