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(. Hie will give its freely
and1 with as uinstinted self-sacrifice
as they. .Whleun they are giving their
lives, will he not at least give hIs
money?
Assalis "Bribery."
"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

"Of course you will not. It is in
('(onceivable. Your patriotism is of the
same self-denying stuff as the pa
triotisnm of the men dead or maimed
on the fields of 1irance, or else it is
not patriotism at till.
Full Dollar's Worth.
"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.
"Let ie turn for a moment to tho
shi) owners of the United States and
the other ocean cirriers whose ex
itmple they have followed, and ask
them if they realize what obstacles,
what iii lmost insuperable obstacles,
they have been putting in the way of
the successful prosecution of this war
by the ocean freight rates they have
been exacting.
Making War a Failure.
"'They are douing everything that
high freight charges enn do to make
the war a failure, to take it impi)os
sible.
"1 do not say that they realize this
or intend it. The thing has happened
naturally enough bectuse the coiier

"I aim not (buestiotning tuotives. I

"The fet is that those who have
fixed war freight rates have taken the
tuost effective means in their power to
defeI the tines 'igaged against ier
inny. When they rei-ze this we may,
I take it for granted, count upotn them
to reconsider the whole mnatter. It is
high timge. Thelr extra i hazards are
coverei by war risk Insurance.
Warning Is Sounded.
"I know, tand you know, what re
sponse to this greht challenge of duty
(111(1 of opportunity the nation will ex
pect of you; and I know what re
sponse you will make.
"Those who do not respond, who
do not respond in the spirit of those
who have gone to give their lives for
us on bloody fields far away, may
safely be left to be dealt with by
opinion and the law-for the law must,
of course, command those things.
"I am dealing with the matter thus
publicly and frankly, not because I have
any doubt or fear as to the result but

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. Louise Mayes

after a visit in the interest of Colum

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."

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'. Ilodges, who de
clared it a privilege which had never
before been possible in that this was
the first time that the pharmaceutical
association had held a session in
(r' -)wood. lie hoped, he said, "that
th:s would be one of the ports of en
t: and a constant point at which
they would Mtop in the future." lr.
F. M. 1011erbee of Jonesville made a
happy response.
The regular business session then
began, at which many short talks and
reports were made. Following these
the annual address was made by the
president., Dr. .1. M. Oliver. of Orange
burg. Dr. T. P. Young, chairman of
the executive board, in1 his report said
that in the past year 59 had stood the
state examination, 30 passing and 29
failing. lie also stated that a new
law had been passed, that a man in
order to become a licensed state phar
macist must be a graduate of a repu
table college of pharmacy. This law.,
however, will not go into effect until

Lemons Beautify!
Make QuarterPint
of Lotion, Cheap
Iere is told how to prepare an inex

of orchard white makes a whole quar

skin beautifier at about the cost one
must pay for a small jar of the ordi

How It Started.
"Who is that man who just spoke to
you ?"
"I don't know."
"Iut he spoke as though he knew
you."
"l'erhaps he does. I may have met
him somnewlere, but I dIon't rectli his
name."
'That's quier'm. Men don't usually
speak to other men uniess they know
them. I'erhapis he's someone you're
ashamed to let me know you know.''
"I tell you the man is a stranger to
me. lie tmny he a mninister of the gos
pel for all I know."
"That isn't very likely. The few
ministers you've ever inet you could
remiembner esily enough. It's more
likely he's a gambler or a barkeeper."
"(reat Scott, woman!"
"Oh, there's no use losing your tem
per. I'm Just a potr fool of a woman,
not supposed to know anything or
have any sense at all, but just the
same I'm thoroughly convinced you're
hiding something from me."
Druggist's Experience With
Kidney Medicine
I have handled and sold Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-ltoot for some time and have
heard cust'omers claim that it had pro
duced very satisfactory results in differ
ent ailments of the kidney s, liver and
bladder. I have nothing tut savorable
reports at hand and my personal opin
ion is that there is not anything on the
market that will equal Swamnp-Root for
disease of the kidneys, liver and bladder
and I know of a physieian who is a very
strong believer in the merits of Swamp.
