Produce Market

The market had the usual light
Monday morning receipts, and the
week opened With a steady line OF
prices. About n thousand bushels
of peaches came up on the boat
mostly Salways and Smocks, and re-

there are still good many TO come
forward. Poultry receipts were light
and the market we'll cleaned up. hut
the market has taken "a lot or poul

Priests Held for Ransom.

Washington, Feb. 20.-Further
representations against the persecu-
ton by Carranza officials OF prsts
in Mexico were made to-day by Sec
retary Bryan. Consul Canada, at
Vera Cruz, was instructed to appeal
directly to Gen. Carranza in behalf
Of the 180 priests arrested by Gen.
Obregon in Mexico City, where they
are detained in the national palace.
Some of them are reported to be
Spaniards, and these, it is said. have
been threatened with expulsion from
the country.
CarranZa officials demanded 500
600 pesos from the priests by a GER
tain time, and when it was not forth
coming told the foreigners among
them, according to report, that they
would be banished, while natives
would be held in captivity. 1t was
not known here how many of the
lSO priests were Spaniards.

him there had been no exposition, no
San Francisco.
AS President Wilson opened the
exposition with the touch of button
in the White House. the suns long,
slanting rays glinted in a miniature
rainbow through the squirting
streams Of the Fountain of Energy
that was at that moment unleashed.
Flags of all the nations rose on
manifold poles and pinnacles. Sig
nal bombs were detonated from tow
ers. An aeroplane circled about the
Tower Of Jewels, scattering doves of
peace. The doors of the Palace of
Machinery swung open and the ex-
hiDits within were seen in motion.
The dedicatory ceremonies were
made as simple and short as possible.
The citizens, headed by Governor
Hiram w. johnson and Mayor Rolph,
representing the State and the city,
were welcomed to the grounds by the
officers and directors of the exposi-
ton and Federal officers. Addresses
were delivered by President C. G.

AMERICA WILL STAND PAT.
Will Make Nc Further Move Now Re
garding "War Zone"

Washington, Feb. 21.-The United
States probably will make no reply,
for the present at least, to either the
British or German notes regarding,
respectively, the use of the American
flag on foreign vessels, and the dan
gers to neutral shipping in the naval
war zone about the British Isles, but
will stand firmly on it's warning
against destruction Of American lives
or vessels.
Many officials who know the stu
alton expect some further move only
in event OF an overt act. This was
indicated in high official quarters to-
day after the official texts Of the COM
munications had been read The
documents will be further examined,
however, to determine whether there
is anything in either note which, IL
not answered now, might be con-
strued later as an admission.
In the case Of the note to Great
Britain, objecting to any general use
Of the American flag by British ves-
sells, the communication from Eng
land was not regarded as altering the
original warning OF the United States
against the measure of responsibility
which would seem to be imposed on
England If any American vessels or
| lives were lost as a result Of such
pannrol ntinn a1tbnnoh hn foI
of any intention to make frequent
use Of the neutral ensign was reassur-
| ing to officials.
Emphatic Warming to Germany. I
| The American government, already,
it was pointed out, has stated in en-
| phatic language that Germany would
| be held to "strict accountability" for
| any loss of American vessels "or
! lives" and this warning is construed
-by administratiohN offieialsst to be stsfs
ficiently broad also to cover any in
| jury to American citizens aboard bel
| ligerent vessels.
Some high officials are urging that
the United States, having made itself
sumciently clear in its correspondence
| with both Germany and Great Bri-
tain, should now remain silent and
observe developments. The argu-
ments in both the British and Ger
man communications charging viola
tions of the rules OF international law
and warfare, it Is held by American
government officials, are of no con-
Germ to the United States. The break
ing down of the doctrines Of intarna-
tional law as between belligerents
does not, in the view OF high off,
Gals here, affect the status OF those
rules as between the United States
and Great Britain and Germany, with
whom this country Is at peace.
The position OF the United States Is
on the right Of a neutral to demand
certain treatment for its ships and
commerce regardless of the respective
actions Of the belligerents.
Further correspondence with the
belligerents is opposed by many Off
"tcls or the ground that the American
government ought not to be drawn
into discussion Of the charges which
Great Britain and Germany have
made toward each other. ,

GOVERNORS OFFICE RECORDS.
Special Committee to Investigate
Make Two Reports.

the special message of Governor
Manning the special committee
charged with looking into the matter !
of the records that were formerly
kept in the Governors office made
report to-day, which follows:
The majority report of the COM
mittee named to investigate the re-
ported absence of certain records in !
the Governors Office follows:
"Columbia, S. c., Feb. IS, 1915.
ITO the Honorable the Senate and
the House Of Representatives Of the
State of South Carolina:
I'VE, the undersigned committee
to look into the matter Of the rec
ords in the Governors office. beg
leave to report as follows:
I'VE have examined the Governors
office and find great many records
missing out of the office; in fact,
there are very few records now on
file there. Upon information fur
nished us we visited the basement Of
number of boxes of records that had
formerly been on file in the Office Of
| the Governor. These records are
| packed in boxes, some of which are
nailed or tied up. and some of which
are open. Being unfamiliar with
what records ought to be in the Cow
ernor's office, it is impossible for this
| committee to state just what records
state whether the records which we,
| found in the basement are all of the
records which should be in the Gov
ernor's office.
owing to the limited time at our
disposal for this work It was impos-
sible. for us to undertake to go.
through the said boxes and packages,
and classify and arrange the con-
tents. The basement where these
records are stored is very much lit
| tered with trash of all kinds, and it
seems to us there is great danger
OF fire occurring therein, by which
| ,
but the State House itself might be
very much damaged and the lives of
some of the occupants endangered.
I'VE therefore recommend that the
| Secretary of State be authorized to
employ some competer' person to
classify, index and arraI &c I'll of the
| records, papers and docum ents be-
longing to the Governors office, such
as may be found stored in the base
ment or may now be on file, and
that they be properly albelled and
placed in files for ready reference of
the Office of the Governro; and that
he be authorized to expend not ex-
ceeding $500 therefor.
I'VE also recommend that the Sec
| retary of State be required to have
| the infiammable material in said
basement removed so that the dan
danger of fires may be averted
"As above stated, it is impossible
for your committee at this time to
! determine which. if any, records are
missing from the Governors office
until the records which are now in
the basement be restored in their
proper places in the office of the
Governor.
All OF which is respectfully sub
mitted. (Signed):

United States is threatened with
serious invasion of its rights as
neutral by the warning nations OF

In Athe solution of that crisis, should
it arise, no jingo spirit must be al

neither pride nor momentary pas

A"And while the President shall
stand by him to the end. In this de-
