WILSON MAKES PLEA PRESIDENT ASKS MANUFAC TURERS AND MINE OWNERS TO BACK U. S. IN WAR. TOLD TO FORGET PRICES President Declares Victory or Defeat Depends on Prices-Denounces Dollar Patriots-Everyone Must Make Sacrifices. Washington.-President Wilson ap pealed to the country's business in terests Wednesday to put aside every selfish consideration and to give their aid to the nation as freely as those who go to offer their lives on the bat flefield. In a statement addressed to the coal operators and manufacturers he gave assurance that just prices will be paid by the government and the public dur ing the war, but warned that no at teinpt to extort unusual profits will be tolerated. The President's statement follows "The government is about to attempt to determine the prices at which it will ask you henceforth to furnish va rious supplies which are necessary for the prosecution of the war, and vari ous materials whIeh will be needed in the industries by vhlch the war must be sustained. We shall, of course, try to determine them justly and to the best advantage of the nation as a whole; but justice is easier to speak of than to arrive at, and there are some considerations which I hope we shall keep steadily in mind while this particular problem of justice is being worked out. Promises Just Price. "Therefore I take the liberty of stating very candidiy my own view of the situation and of the principles which should guide both the govern ment and the mine owners and man ufacturers of the country in this dif ficult matter. "A just price must, of course, he paid for everything the gouerninent buys. By a just price I mean a price which will sustain the industries con cerned in a high state of efliciency, provide a living for those who con duct them, enable them to pay good wages, and make possible the cx pansions of their enterprises which will from time to time become neces sary as the stupendous undertakings of this great war develop. Must Face the Facts. "We could not wisely or reasonably do less than pay such prices. They are necessary for the maintenance and development of industry, and the maintenance iumd development of in dustry are necessary for the great task we have in hand. "But I trust that we shall not sur round the matter with a mist of sen timent. Facts are our masters now. We ought not to put the acceptance of such prices on the ground of patri otism." "Patriotism has nothing to do with profits in a case like this. Patriotism and profits ought never in the present circumstances be mentioned together. "It is perfectly proper to discuss profits as a matter of business, with a view to maintaining the integrity of capital and the eficeiency of labor in these tiragical months, when the lib erty of free men everywhere and of indlustry itself trembles in the bal anice ;but It wvould b~e ab~surdh to dhis cuss thenm as a motive for helping to serve and1( save our country. "Patriotism leaives profits out of the question. In these. days of our su preme trial, when we are sending liun dIredls of thousandls of our young men across the seas to serve a gr-eat cause, no true man who stays behind to work for thenm andl sustain them 1)y his labor will ask himself what lhe is personally ganmg to make out of that labor. "No true patriot wvilh permit bhinself to take toll of their heroism in money or seek to grow rich by the shedding of their 1)100(.

"I hear It Insisted that more than a jIust price, more than a price that will sustain our industries, must he paidl ; that it is necessary to pay very' liberal andl tuntisual profits in order to '4 'stimuilate' product ion ;that nothing but pecunila ry rewards will do-re Wards p~aidl in money, not in the mere liberation of the worldl. "I take it for grantedh thait those who argue thus do not stop to think what that means. "D~o they mean that you must be paid, must b~e bribed, to make y'our contribution, a contrib~utionl that costs yoti neilther a drop of' blood nor a tear, when the whole world1 is in travall and men everywhere dlepend uplon and call to you to briuti, t hem out of bondage and make the world a fit place to live in again, amIlidst peace and justice? "Do they mean that you will exact Asphalt Found by Accident. Asphalt, wvith which so many roads are lpaved, was fouind by accident.

"Let us never speak, then, of profits and of patriotism in the same sen tence, but face faets 1nd meet them. Let us do sound business, but not in the midst of a mist. "Many a grievous burden of taxa tion will be laid on this nation, in this generation (1nd(i iii the next, to pay for this war; let us see to it flint for every dollar that is taken from the people's pockets it shall be possible to obtain a dollar's worth of the sound stuff they need.

WOMEN OF STATE TO HELPSAVE FOOD MEET IN ROCK HILL AND ORGAN IZE.-PLEDGE CARDS ARE DISTRIBUTED. DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of South Carolina People, Gathered Around the State Capital. Columbia. Special from Rock Hill.-Answering whole heartedly the call of Herbert Hoover, national food administrator, and realizing fully that the last pound of food may win the war for democ racy, leaders of all women's clubs and social organizations in conven tion here at \Vinthrop college formed the Woman's State Dofense council. 'rte first great work of the council will be to register all women in the food saving campaign, which has been undertaken by Mr. Hoover. When this campaign has been completed then the council will turn its attention to the mobilizing of the woman power of the state. All clubs are united and each president pledged the hearty sup port of all members. Every woman in the state will be enlisted in the campaign to "save the waste and win the war." The conference was probably the most significant and far reaching over held by the women of South Carolina. The leaders spent the entire morning considering the best plans of organi zation. It was decided imediately to launch the campaign for registering all wom en. This arduous task will be per formed by the club organizations in co-operation with the state council of defense. The newspapers of the state will he asked to print the pledge cards which are to be cut out., signed and mailed to the food administrator at Washington. Joe Sparks, secretary of the state defense council, was in conference with the pr'esidents of the clubs when the plans for registering all women in the campaign for food saving were decided upon. The folowing message was read at the meeting from Herbert Hoover: 'I was very much gratified to hear from Joe Sparks that the women of South Carolina were taking hold of the en rollment in the food administration in such an effective manner. To have the leaders of all women's organiza tions come together and plan for this new phase of American life is a splen did sign of the times. "We are relying upon the devotion and patriotism of the American wo men in the early part of our food con servation campaign. We hope and trust that leaders will arise in all parts of the country ready to carry on the work, because the "hole mat ter is largely a state problem and it is only thlroughl tile organlization of the state andl all its counties andl tile smaller communities thlat we can hope to get tihe result that is necessary. If we are to save tile food and do oulr part to will tile war." After a general dliscussioln as to thle planls anld purpos)0es of tile women's die fense council tile following officers wore elected: Mrs. F.

Man ning, who returned from the capital after a visit in the interest of Colum bia's bid for a government nitrate plant. The chief executive also had a conference with Herbert Hoover, national food administrator. who stressed the need of food conservation. No diiscission was had by the gov ernor with the war department of the exemption boards in South Carolina. "I did not discuss or allude directly or indirectly to the question of these appointments and nothing was further from my thoughts," said Gov. Man ning when asked if this question was under discussion. "1 had an interview with Herbert Hoover," said the governor, "and lie stresses the importance of immediate action in the conservation of food and the necessity for the regulation of food products, especially wheat. By adding large items to the food bill they have complicated the situation and delayed action, but I hope that the bill will be recor',nitted to the committee on agri'ulture. I have no doubt that every influence will be brought to hear to make congress real ize the importance of prompt action with reference to the food bill." Gov. Manning also held a conference with Gen.

TOBACCO MARKETS OPEN FOR SEASON SALES BREAK RECORDS IN 8EV. ERAL TOWNS IN THE STATE. RECEIVE VERY GOOD PRICES Growers Are Well Pleased With Re turns.-Yieids Are Promising in Most Sections. Columbia.-Last week many of the tobacco markets were opened in the sections of the state in which the "weed" is grown commercially and without exception the prices received by the growers seem to have been satisfactroy. A number of the towns report that the opening business has been above the average, with most of the big tobacco concerns of the country represented by buyers, all ap parently eager to secure as big amount of the offerings as possible. The prices the growers were able to secure for their product this year were con siderably ahead of the prices of the last few years. The average price se'ems to have been in eXcess of 15c I-or pound. The lowest average price paid for tobacco in the last eight years was for the 1909 crop, which sold for 8.35 cents, while the highest aver age price secured in those years was for the 1916 crop, which brought 14.11 cents per pound. The best of the crop is not ready for market for some time subsequent to the first day's sales, so the prices paid were generally for an inferior quality. It is thought that the average for the season will be con siderably more than 15 cents. Pharmacists Meet at Greenwood. Greenwood.-The South Carolina dIruggists were formally welcomed to Greenwood in the Knights of Pythias hall by Dr. Samuel C'.
