MANNING STRONG FOR FOOD.
Governor Says "There Will Be Posi-.
tive Want and Hunger"

Pointing out that unless more food
is produced in South Carolina that
'there will be positive want and
| hunger in South Carolina" Governor
Manning has signed a proclamation
| calling upon the ministers of the
State to deliver sermons bearing on
the situation. The proclamation fol-
lows:
To the Ministers of All Denomina-
| tions in South Carolina: In the cam
! tpaign which is being waged to encour-
aGe far larger production of food
| crops in South Carolina than has
ever been harvested before, the
churches of our State should play no
! 1nconspicuous part. Those who are
! conversant with the facts tell us that
unless this campaign meets with
abundant success, there will be posi-
tive want and hunger in South Caro-
lima in the fall and winter months. 1t
has ever been the mission of the
| church to minister to the needs of
! well as spiritual needs-and in this
emergency the churches have an op-
portunity to render vast service in
bringing this important matter to the
| attention OF all citizens. The
| churches will be quick to recognize
that their most intelligent service can
| be rendered in preventing, so far as
| possible, the impending food short
age rather than in waiting to at
tempt to relieve it after the need has
| arisen
The churches OF our State have
| ever been in the forefront OF social
and moral reform. In the present
crisis they have an opportunity to eX-
tend the sphere OF their influence so
as to include economic and industrial
reform as well. The welfare and the
happiness Of the people Of our State
are bound up in the correct solution
Of the problem, and the churches, it
is believed, will not be laggard in rec
ognizing a duty whose proper dis
| charge will mean so much to the citi-
zcns Of the State.
TO the end that the churches of
South Carolina may act effectively,
and as a unit in this vital matter,
hereby call upon the preachers Of the
State to present the need for larger
production Of food to their congrega-
| ton from their pulpits. Thrift in
tho home-a rigid domestic economy
should be emphasized as a moral
duty on the part Of every citizen.
The time Is short. The planting

season is at hand. Whatever action
Is taken must be taken immediately.
I am, therefore, calling upon you to
devote ut least part Of the sermons
which you will deliver Sunday 10 a
discussion Of the issue presented
herein, and to continue such series
of talks on succeeding Sundays for
as long time as you deem advisable
confidently rely on the churches
of the State to be one OF the strong
est allies in the battle with food
shortage with all its calamitous con-
sequences to the State.
The duty Of the citizens should be
made plain and impressed upon
them.

THE CHESTER EXPLOSION.
"Enenly Aliens" Held Responsible for
Deaths Over 100 Girls.

Chester, Pa, April 11.-A state
ment to-day by high official of the
Eddystone Munition Corporation
placed the blame Of yesterdays disas-
trous explosion, the worst in the his
tory of the State, on a disloyal en-
ployee, who is thought to have sacri-
feed his life with the 116 known
dead, most Of whom were girls and
young women.
This amazing development late to-
day spurred on the Investigations of
the catastrophe already under way by
Federal, State, county, local officials
and officers Of the company. Numer-
Gus suspects were rounded up here,
in Philadelphia and villa Nova, Pa,
and in Camden, N. j., and in each
case the disposition. ot The prisoners
was placed in the hands Of agents OF
the Department of Justice a, phila-
delphia. The arrests so far, how
eyer, have apparently furnished no
tangible plot, if such was the case.
The statement of the company's
representative, who declined to per-
nit the use of his name, said the
tragedy was the result Of a diaboli-
cal plot conceived in the degenerate
brain Of a demon in human guise,"
and that the triple explosion was
due to bomb manufactured from
shell by one of the employees. Be-
yond this information the official re-
fused to disclose further details
ly clear the exact cause of the disas-
ter.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
The WAR IN YOUR TOWN

Months of unchecked pacifist
mouthings, not unlike those we hear
to-day, paved the inevitable way for
the Draft Riots of 1863, which for
days held New York City in the vio-
lent grip of bloody anarchy. To-day
the most dangerous Of our enemies
are the half-secret ones of our own
household. They come and go at will
among us. Some spy out and report
our military preparations; others TO-
ment strikes, set class against class,
preach pacifsm and pessimism and
poison the springs of public thought.
Thousands of these traitors take the
Kaiser's dirty dollar. Other thou
sands are merely half baked perverts
whose rewards are akin to those Of
the witless creature who sets fire to
tenement for the pleasure of hear
ing an alarm rung and witnessing
the noisy confusion of a fire.
The menace from enemies at home
is steadily increasing; the scope of
their activities is steadily broaden
ing. The Department of Justice can
cope with those who commit certain
overt acts, but it cannot lay by the
heels the gum-shoe disloyalists who
are sheltered by the very Constitu-
ton of the nation they would de-
stroy.
If you know your left hand from
your right you can tell Prussianism
from Americanism. When you find
disloyal neighbor whom you can't
send to Jail, send him to Coventry.
Shun him as if he had smallpox.
Keep out of his house and keep him
out of yours. Let him see that he
stands discredited and disgraced-
that he is unfit company for loyal
Americans. Let him be socially in
termed, cut off from all speech and
traffic with decent men and women
If every true American will sever
all ties with the enemy at home the
result will go further toward win.

TEAM WORK WILL DO IT.

War is too big to be won by indi-
vidual or independent effort. Mime
sofa is filled with people who desire
to do something to help win the war.
They are eager for work. They feel
the call of service.
Men who are too old to enlist in
either the Army or the Navy but
who are active and able, and women
of all ages whose emotions have been
so wrought upon by the events Of
the war that it seems to them that
they simply must do something they
ally, to hasten American victory, are
the most earnest and ardent.
Frequently there are difficulties
when these try to fit themselves into
jobs. So they become impatient.
Such impotence is, perhaps, nat
ural. But it is not helpful. It's u.s.
ual manifestation is to "start some
thing start it individually and car.
ry it on independently.

lily and she remained in an uncon-

She was uninjured, however, save for
