SALES BREAK RECORDS IN SEW
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
satisfactory. A number OF the towns
report that the opening business has
been above the average, with most
of the big tobacco concerns OF tho
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
seems to have been in excess OF 15c
per pound. The lowest average price
paid for tobacco in the last eight
years was for the 1909 crop, which sold
for S.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 days sales. so
the prices paid were generally for an
inferior quality. II is thought that
the average for the season will be con-
siderably more than 15 cents

PRESIDENT ISSUES APPEAL
CALLS FOR PATRIOTISM OF BUSI-
NESS MEN OF THE COUN-
TRY.
But Promises Just Prices VIII Be Paid
For All Supplles.-Asks Business
Interests to Give as Freely as Those
Who Offer Lives.

Washington.-Presid Wilson ap.
pealed to the country's business inter
ests to put aside every selfish consid-
Grafton and to give their aid to the
nation as freely as those who go out
to offer their lives on the battlefield.
In statement addressed to the
coal operat Nrs and manufacturers, he
gave assurances that just prices will
be paid by the government and the
public during the war but warned
that no attempt to extort unusual
profits will be tolerated
Your patriotism" said the Presi-
dents appeal 'is Of the same self-dc-
nying stuff as the patriotism fthe
men dead and MANNED on the fields
OF France, or 1t Is no patriotism at all.
Let us never spea, then, OF profits
and patriotism in tse same sentence.
Il shall expect every man who is
not Stacker to be at my side
throughout the great enterprise. In
1t no man can win honor who thinks
OF himself"
The President declared there must
be but one price for the government
and for the public. He expressed
confidence that business generally will
be found loyal to the last degree. and
that the problem of war time prices.
which he declared will "mean victory
or defeat" will be solved rightly
through patriotic cooperation.
In unmeasured terms, Mr.. Wilson
condemned the shipowners OF the
country for maintaining a schedule
OF ocean freight rates which has
placed almost insurperable obstacles"
in the path OF the government "The
fact is" he asserted. that those who
have fixed war freight rates have
taken the most effective means in
their power to defeat the armies en-
gagged against Germany" Coal pro-
duction and other industries for
whose products the government has
negotiated price agreements are not
taken up in detail by the President.

EXPECT EARLY MOBILIZATION
VenizeIos' Declarations at Saonica

States Will Probably be Sent.

Washington. Uncertainty as to
Greece's status In the world war was
cleared away with the receipt OF Off.
cial information that the Greek gov
ernment not only has severed relations
with all four of the central powers,
but is actually in state of war with
them.
Information has reached the state
department that sJhe Greek minister
in Paris has notified the French gov
ernment that Greece considers herself
a full belligerent and will act accord
1ngly. He said it was not necessary
TO issue formal declaration of war
as the government feels it is bound
by the declarations previously issued
at Salonika by Premier Venizelos, who
took with him to Athens all the re-
sponsibilities and commitments of
the temporary Saloniki government.
AS a belligerent, Greece is expected
to lose no time in mobilizing her war
resources and joining effectively in
the common allied operations in the
Balkans.
The strength OF the venizelos army
Is placed at ABOUT 10000 men, and the
remnants of the former regular army,
while not over 10000 now. has at
times been mobilized to total OF
100000 men, anad is capable OF reach
ing 100000. IL munitions are pro-
vided
The regulars practically were de.
mobilized by the allies when fromer
king Constantine held the organiza-
tion as a threat to the allies rear,
but can quickly be called to the colors
again.
While 1t is understood the new gov.
ernment has not yet mobilized this
army, the classes of 1916 and 1917.
previously prevented by the allies
from being called out, were called to
the colors about two weeks ago.
A Greek mission may be sent to the
United States, not only to negotiate
for supplies for this army, but also
to present Greece's situation as to the
general word reconstruction after the
war. For the present 1t is probable
Greece will be muniuoned by the
allies.

Bio Potato Crops.

Florence-The chamber OF com.
merce has just completed the compii-
alton of statistics on this springs
potato crop at Florence. The money
brought into the community by the
sales was. in round figures, $35, 5000.
The potato crop was the result OF the
efforts OF the chamber OF commerce
to get the planters busy on some new
crop. It is good score for that organ
ization becuase there was opposition
to the venture at the time and seed
were unusually high. Tn potatoes sold
for from 81 to s11 barrel for firsts.

PRESIDENT ISSUES ORDER PRO-
MULGATED BY THE WAR
DEPARTMENT.
CALL $4,000 FOR SERVICE
State Appointments Are Announced.
Regular Army and National Guard to
Be Filed UP. Credit for Enlist.
ments.

Washington.-A formal order by
President Wilson drafting 6S1,000
men into the military service under
the selective conscription law, was
promulgated by the war department
together with an afficial llotment
showing what part OF the total must
be furnished by each state and ter
ritory
IhG only steps now remaining are
distribution by the governors of state
quotas among the local exemption dis
iricts and the great lottery, which
probably will be held next week in
which registrants are to present them
selves for service or exemption.
The men summoned for service will
be used to fill the regular army and
national guard to war strength and
to organize the first 100000 of the
new national army The total OF these
three forces will be 1,262.9S5 men.
Later another 100000 will be called
out,
In computing the number OF men
to be required from the various states,
the government put to the credit OF
each state every man 1t now has in
the national guard and every man 1t
has contributed since April 1 as a
war volunteer to the regular army
Apportionment Basis.
Placing on the debit side OF the
entire national guard at war strength
and the number OF war volunteers
needed April 1, last. to bring the regu-
lars up to war strength, the grand
total was aportioned according to pop
ulation. This gave a gross quota for
och state, from which net quota
was computed by checking off the
number OF national guardsmen avail
able for federal service and the num-
Der OF men given by the state to the
regular army since April 1. The appor-
tioument was made on the basis OF
an estimated grand total for the Uni
tee States and It's possessions, OF 1885,
366,O56 inhabitants. This Is n paper
estimate, computed from registration
returns, which comes within the law
requiring distribution of quotas by
population, but which equalizes in a
great measure the burden that Is to
fall upon the 1859 exemption dis
tricts. Each will furnish under this
apportionment the men its total reg
irtation would indicate as a fair pro.
portion. rather than the actual popula-
ton in the district would indicate.
The total OF these gross quotas IS
l.l52,9S5 men. Credit is given to the
various states for total OF 465. .9S5
voluntary enlistments in the national
guard and regulars, making the total
net quota for all states $4,000.
