CARoLlNlANs URGED no SAVE.
Governor Appeals to People to Save
Food and EcOnon,ize.

Columbia, Dec. 2.-The people OF
South Carolina,> In an appeal issued
to-day by Governor Manning, are
requested to refrain from eating
beef, pork or mutton on Tuesday OF
each week; to abstain from wheat on
Wednesdays; to use no hog meat on
Thursdays, and to reject cake or
sweet desserts at least two days
every fortnight. The appeal is as
follows:
Governor Manning's Appeal.
"ro the People Of South Carolina:
desire to appeal to tho people of
South Carolina to lay down for them
selves certain definite and specific
days on which we will save -four,
meat. sugar and fats.
"Our National Government has
| come to us asking for the perform
ance OF a specific duty. We are ask
ed to save meat, flour, sugar and fats.
II urge our people to adopt the
following program:
"The use OF no beef, pork or NUT
ton on Tuesdays. On basis Of seven
ounces per person, this will save
about 100000 pounds OF beef. pork
and mutton per week. or save enough
meat to feed all OF the South Caro-
lima soldiers In the army.
"To use no wheat on Wednesdays
this will save about two million
dollars year, and would supply our
South Carolina soldiers in the army.
America uses now one hundred mil
lion barrels of -four. This amount
must be cut down to seventy-five mil
lion barrels.
ITO use no hog meat on Thurs-
days. This will save about 700, 900
pounds, or enough bacon and ham to
feed our South Carolina soldiers in
the army.
'"ro use no cake or sweet desserts
on at least two days in each week. d
1--WE can use poultry, fish and veg-s
etables. We can have them in abund-,
ance If we will raise them.
"We should save fats by broiling,
boiling and baking instead Of frying.
No family is asked to stint, but to
save and avoid extravagances and
waste. Elaborate meals should not
be permitted. D
Use no beef, pork or mutton on
Tuesdays, no wheat on Wednesdays
and no hog meat on Thursdays, s
"The saving OF food is war mea-
sure
"'If our army is to be fed we must
meet the very reasonable demands Of
the food administrators.
"The sacrifice asked at our table
Is small one compared to the price
our soldiers stand ready to pay in
blood. Remember the women and
children u France have not tasted
sugar during the past seven months,
and in many towns and provinces
meat is allowed only twice a week.
President Wilson and Mr.. Hoover
urge these requests upon our people
as voluntary acts. l am confident
that South Carolinians, red-blooded
and patriotic, realizing that American
freedom, liberty, justice and honor
are at stafe, will respond to this call,
and will 40 our part to win the war.
! Richard 7. Manning, Governor"

AFTER "BILLY'S" SCALP.

There's a rumor on the street
that Duluth s Little Tammany has
the skids under Postmaster Nc
Even, and will dump him into the
discard when his term expires.
We trust that this is a false re-
port. While we never have taken
Mr.. McEwen very seriously in a
lot Of ways, he. certainly has made
a mighty good postmaster, and
under some handicap.
Personal observation satisfies us
that Mr.. McEwen has been very
steadily on the job. He has closely
studied the needs of his office.
He has been progressive in his
policies. So far as we can learn,
he stands well with the depart
ment at Washington. Best of all,
he has shown much zeal and a
genuine desire in serving the pa
irons.
If the people who use and sup
port this postoffice have anything
to say, which we doubt, of course,
we hope that they will rise up en-
masse and insist that Mr.. McEwen
stay where he is until the man
who appointed him retires from
office. -
This may be treason to Little
Tammany, but, if so, be it so. He
at least was born in this country.

A FREE OPINION.

The Big Iron Interests again
have fought and won their bien-
NAL battle over the imposition of
tonnage tax by the state leg
islature. Almost any man, with
clean collar, was in demand at
$500 a day and pickin's, as a
lobbyist. There was the usual
beating of tomtoms, S. o. S. calls,
scurrying to and fro and first aid
remedies.

Of official time, went to the
threatened ship, staid on deck un-
til all was safe and, it is declared,

U. S. Steel Corporation with own

opinion, this is incorrect. He

tween the Lake Superior and the

ton fully hypnotized and under

Of this biennial scare in st. Paul
is made to order. Needy boys in
Duluth incite honest but illy-in-
formed granger legislators to
make a drive on the Big Iron In
terests.
Then saviours of Minnesota s
great iron industry jump out of
the bushes in great numbers. They
make heroic rescue and vouchers
eventually are flied in New York
after payment in Minnesota. It
is a shaking down that costs big
money, and, we believe, an un-
necessary shaking down.
If the Big Iron Interests,
whether independent or affiliated
with the U. S. Steel Corporation,
would lean back and say, mil
lions for defense, but not one cent
for tribute,' we believe that these
raids would stop. If the Big Iron
Interests would plainly inform the
public that tl-ey intended to look
to the courts for remedy for any
injustice, a lot Of this ghost dane
ing in st. Paul would cease.
Not being a Wall street lawyer,

[ ion, but we consider it a sound
and one that will hold water.

Company D itself has been kept in

been assigned as headquarters compa-

the report reaching here is that the
$3.50 travelling Kitchen which was
bought by the citizens OF Hopkinsville
and presented to Co. d while they
were at Lexington, was what saved
them from disruption. When it looked.
like Co. D was to be torn up and scat

this were done the kitchen would be
sent back to Hopkinsville, as il had
been given for the use and comfort

men EAGER
FOR FRANCE
Sec. Baker Finds The New
Army Anxious to Get at
Grips With the Germans.

Washington, Oct. 81. Most of the
young men called for service in the
national army want to go to France as
fighting men and they want TO get
there quickly.
Reports from FIVE or six OF the big
tanning camps, Sec. Baker announc-
ed, show that when asked what they
want to do, the great majority Of the
select men say they don't care what
their job is to be, just so they get to
France amongst the first. When Civ
en- choice between the combatant
and non-combatant branches, most of
them elect to be, fighters.
THE boys at the front and those
getting ready to go there are all
right" is the verdict Of the secretary,
who recently visited several training
camps in the east and south. "Our
nation need have nothing but mount
ing pride at the spectacle they pre-
sent" ..a
"In these camps" said Mr.. Bak-
er's statement, leach man is asked:
"'What do you want TO do?'

n. y-'r FIRST.
81 have had reports from five or six
of the largest camps and they show
that the majority answered, in effect:
4 don't care what | do, just so gel
to France among the first. The next
question asked them is what bran, b
Fof the service do you prefer?' Now,
one who did not know America would
expect them TO say: We'll, Ihave bee
wo king in a store; have been a
hand on a farm; | have been me-
chanic; have been a clerk; don't
know much about guns and canron;
Je haps some one Of the n0n-comba :
mt places is the place where IAN
render the best service But " hal
is the fact?
These sons and brothers, 6rawn
out of lie by selection more than
one third have asked to go in the in
fantry service. The next choice is the
light artillery service. The next il
the aviation service. So what they
asked for in a Tremendously predon
mating majority OF instances is, no
the non-combatant service for whict
their previous experience might vel
qualify them, but the fighting branch,
so that they can take the risk of fight
| ing for their country with the real
weapons of war. The boys at the
front and those getting ready to &c
are all right. Our nation need have
nothing but mounting pride at the
spectacle they present"
