TRAITORS IN AMERICA
Attempting in Vain to Have Mexican
Papers Take Pro-German
Attitude.

Mexico City, June 22.-Every pos
sible pressure, including financial Of
fers, is reported to have been brought
to bear by Germans and pro-Germans
to stop the campaign of FL Universal
ior the severance of relations be-
tween Mexico and Germany. The
campaign continues to be the main
topic of conversation here. FL Uni
versal will say editorially tomorrow
that in the flood of comment which
it's stand has evoked no paper or per-
son has taken a pro-German stand
or proposed that Mexico ally herself
with the central powers.
The editorial declares that the
opinion of intellectual leaders were
chosen to give point to the papers
campaign as governmental officials,
from the nature of their positions,
could say nothing, and politicians al
ways played safe while it was the
purpose of the paper to give express
sion to the opinion of the real think
ing people of Mexico.
The discussion of the campaign
has brought a renewal of charges
that pro-German papers are being
directly aided in their campaign
against the United States by free
print paper supplied by firms in the
United States. 1t is known that 400
rolls Of paper were shipped by the
steamer Monterey from a New Yorl:
firm to Vera Cruz in April. 1t is
charged that La Opinion, of Vera
Cruz, was offered part of this ship
ment free if it would take q pro-
German stand. The paper refused,
and the shipment reached Mexico
City.
Other papers here have repeatedly
charged that the 40 rolls were given

TAX REFERENDUM.

The legislative act permitting 9

Classics property for taxing pur.

tiers equal in number to five per cent
of the votes cast for Governor at the
last election. This petition must be
filed with the Secretary of State
within four months after the adjourn
ment of the special session-April

power and authority under the
amendment to the Constitution to
provide for referendum without any
petition or other action being taken,
but the sponsors for the pet measure
in favor of the bond-holder, succeed
ed in getting this tedious require
ment tackled on with the hope that
the great mass of poor fellows who
oppose this discriminatory law would
not take the time or incur the eX-

very easily accomplished if few
leaders in each county form an or

petition to each voting precinct for
signatures.
The farmers organization could,
in our judgment, render no better
service to its members and others
upon whom the entire burden of To-
cal taxation is placed than to take
hold of this matter and insure a ref
erendum vote. We would like to sec

RAISE MORE HOGS.

Columbia, Sept 10.-An acre of
wheat per each one-horse crop was the
policy indorsed by the State Council
of Defense at the Sumter conference.
BY resolution the farmers of the
State were urged to grow all of the
live stock possible
David r. Coker, chairman of the
Council of Defense, discussing the ne
cesslty for more hogs, said: "I have
before me quotations of the Baltimore
market of September 8, quoting med
lum and heavy hogs GOO to 800
pounds in weight) at 1866 to 1870,
live weight If the farmers are going
to raise hogs for the market they
should form community clubs and shin
them in carload lots. They should
ship nothing except hogs weiphinp
lf5 pounds and over, as these always
bring better prices. I shall be glad
to give complete information to any
farmers clubs wishing to ship hogs"
The following resolution was adopt-
ed by the State Council of Defense:
Whereas the secretary of agricul.
ture has advised that the wheat acre
age of South Carolina be increased 81
per cent in order that the farmers of
our State may do their part in avert
ing world wheat shortage, therefore
upon motion of the committee on pro-
duction and conservation of food stuffs.
be it resolved:
THAT the farmers of South Caro-
lima be and hereby are advised to plant
one acre of wheat per each one-horse
crop and that they be urged to plant
good lands and fertilize as literally as
circumstances will permit.
Be it resolved, further that, in order
to in sonfe measure alleviate the ac-
tual famine of meats and fats, the
South Carolina farmers be urged to
raise all the live stock possible, but
especially to increase their production
of hogs.
"Be it resolved further, that we
deprecate the killing of young and i'm
mature live stock, and that we urge
that this practice be done away with
wherever possible.
BE 1T further resolved that the
South Carolina Live Stock association
he requested to take up at it's ap-
preaching meeting the matter of the
shipment out of the State of large
numbers of young calves and to make
recommendation to the State Coun-
Gil of Defense as to how this practice
can be stopped.
Resolved further that the commits
sary departments of the various camps
be requested to purchase food pro-
ducts direct from the farmers wher-
ever possible"
