"I am sure that in the dreadful stress that is upon our country I will receive the patriotic assistance of all citizens. "I commend most highly to you the adoption of the enclosed building code. Forty-six towns in the state have already adopted it. It adds noth, ing to the expense of building ex cept such as is necessary for the pro tection of the building. "I am bringing to your attention Section 888 of the criminal codE which makes it the duty of the mu nicipal officers in connection with the insurance commissioners to see that all 'combustible material or conditions dangerous to the safety of such build ings 'or promises' are removed. , "Give your country this patriotic service and save the proplerty of our people." Urges Pay for Guardsmen. Gov. Manning took up the matter of pay for National Guardsmen now at tending the officers' training camp -with Newton D. Baker, secretary of war. The governor sent the following telegram: "Have been informed that members of the National Guard at. tending the offiffcers' -training camps are receiving no salary as provided for civilins attending such camps. Neither are they receiving pay as en listed men of the National Guard while absent from their organizations. I ani confident that this matter has escaped your attention. Our men gen. orally are .dependent for a living on what they earn and have not inde pendent means. I would respectfully ask that the situation be investigated with a view to alleviating the condi. tion and .that you advise me of your action." Campaign for Saving Food. An intenoive food conservation course will be offered to the 800 or more students who attend the sum .mer school for teachers at Winthrop College this summer.

President Johnson has received the following telegram from Mr. Hoover: "Prospective department wishes to present two weeke intensive food con servat-in course .to all summer school students in the county.

CONTROL BILL IN CONGRESS Other Agencies Attacking the Profit eers-Plans Pushed for Huge Amer ican Air Army-Russia Deter mined to Continue the War Against German Absolutism. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Uncle Sam last week began paying more special attention to the pirates that infest the land-the food pirates, the munition pirates, the fuel pirates and all the obnoxious brood of prof iteers whose greed for money obliter ates their patriotism, if they ever had any of the latter quality. The warfare against these men and corporations is being carried on in the way of judicial investigations that will result in in dictments and in proposed legislation by congress.: The latter, of course, Is the administration food control bill, which the president has been urging toward passage with the forceful as sistance of Herbert C. Hoover. Mr. Hoover told a bunch of senators on Tutesday why tile measure should be passed, and answered all the objec tions of its opponents, headed by Vard utamn, Gore aind Reed. In the house on Thursday Rlepr-esen tatives Madden and~ Cannon of Illinois made an attempt to have c'ottonl in Cluded amnong the articles -to be4 put undler control, but the Southern Dem ocrats rushed to the rescue of t he cot ton planter and defeated tile plan. 'The mnajor-ity ailso voted dlown a pr-oposition by Ilitaugeni of Towva to include cloth lng, shoes and impllements in the nmens uire. Thie olposltlon to the lill inl the( hiouse was weaker thlan in the senate. Sentor Sihermanl of Illinois fiercely alttackedl tile meRasure as oneQ designed to favor the city dweller and1( union Ia h lor and1( to injure the farmter, and( lhe took the (l)ootunlity to say some very severe thI igs about. tile admiinistr-ati on. asserting it had been aisleep for two years and now hlad waked up into hys teria. Daniels Jolts the Extortionists, Secretary D)aniels became weary of the extortions of tihe fuel malhgnates, and on Monday aInnounced that the4 coal andl oil tile nmavy needed would he taken b~y the govet'nment and paid for ait prices to bie fixed by the govern mient.. Pr-oducers of steel found thlem selv'es facing the prospect of' the same action, Organized labor also took a hand in the fight on the food extortionists and nlotified thle administration, through the American IFederation of Labor, that un~less tile prices of thed nedcssl ties of life are brought down to rea SOntable fIgures, thlere probably will be an epidlemic of strikes, possibly e)ven a national tie-up in nmany indlustrles.

Wily should not tile press of the 'ountry prinat prominently the namties of' tile dlespicalie creatures who are taking advantage of tho nation's needis? Decent motives being lacking, fear of tile public wrath might oper ate to induce them to cease their ne farious work. Planning Great Air Army, More and more tile goyerlnment is biecoming convinced that America's first big play in the war must- be inu in the air, and the plans for speedlily sending nmany tihousands of airplanes and aviators to the front from this country are being pushed wvith vigor.

For a long time Admiral Peary has ieen urg ing the building up of a powerful air service for our army and1 navy, and Brigadier General Squier has done till an active oilicer is permitted to do to forward such a plaIn, and now the gov ernment realizes that an immense fleet of airplanes is the quickest effective aid it can give to its allies in 10u rope.

To fill i) the ranks of the regular army, President Wilson issued a call for 70,000 volunteers between the ages of eighteen and forty years. Through out the army the recruiting oilert especially empihasized the fact thai men who registered are welcome a! volunteers and will have some advail tages over those who wait to b drafted. Registration slackers began gettin what is comting to them last weel Their days of grace having expire( they were arrested wherever foun, and chucked into jail. Several of the already have been given prison sen tences. Though the number of arrest; may seem large, it really is insignilfl cant when compared wIth the tota registration. War department offlcials seem to b having a hard time dettling on the iplans for the training camps for the National army. Over and over agai; tie sp)efieations are chaniged, anrd not nauch headwvay is being madle. Instead of leaving tihe details to the regular army ,ofilcers, who are experts in thlat line, the council of national defense ha taken a hand and( put "experts" of Its owvn choosing in charge of various Parts of the work, and1( the result so nar has been conifusioni and delny.

CONSIDERS IANY P L State Defense Board to Forl 9d. s In Each County -to Coordinate th State's Resources For W% . Columbia.-Plans for co-ordinat) the- state's resources during the WM' were considered at a conference' o. the executive committee and- the chairman of the several other cot mittees of the state council of defense, ' which, was held - in Columbia. - The general work of the state council was thoroughly discussed and many 1im pertant steps were decided upon. ). R. Coker, chairman, presided at the conference. The conference appointed a com mittee fro mthe -state executive com- 9 mittee to appoint a chairman for each county. Strong county commit. tees will be napied and the council will get down to hard and earnest work within the next seevral weeks. Among those attending the meeting were: D. R. Coker of Hartsville, chairman of the state council; W. M.. Riggs, W. W. Long, William Elliott, Robert Lathan, John G. Richards, J. W. Wassum, Bright Williamson,. Ira B. Dunlap, A. F. McKissick and Christie Bonet. All association and agencies now engaged in war work will be asked to co-operate with the state council' of defense so as to prevent duplica tion of effort. T14o committee on transportation of the council, J. W. Wassum, chair man, was instructed by the council to handle the matter of guarding the bridges with the war department. The opinion of the council was that the National Guardsmen should be withdrawn from the bridges located in the malaria district. It is prob. able that the home gaards to be or ganized later will be used in guard ing the bridges. 10very precaution to to insure the health of the guards will be urged upon the war department by the state council. One of the big problems to be con sidered by the council was the mat ter of labor. There is an unusual do mand just now for all kinds of labor and some industries may suffer un less the situation is handled in a busi nesslike manner. The council will on deavor to handle the matter and pre vent too many men from being drawn from any particular section. The chair man was asked by the council to urge the mayors of cities and towns of the the state to rigidly enforce the vag rancy laws. - The chairman of the committee on industries and exemp tions will handle this Important sub ject with the proper authorities. The discussion developed that there is a big work before the council of defense. Clemson Sends Out Class.
