DECLARATION OF WAR AGAINST GERMANY
ASKED BY THE PRESIDENT
Joint Resolution TO That Effect introduced in Both
Branches Of Congress Who will Act Upon 1t Today

The Presidents address was sent
in full to Germany by a German
official news agency for publication
in that country. The text also went
to England, and summary Of its
contents was sent around the world
to other nations.
President Wilson spoke in part as
follows:
81 have called the Congress into
extraordinary session because there
are serious, very serious choices of
policy to be made, and made imme
diately, which it was neither right
nor constitutionaIly permissible that
l should assume the responsibility
of making.
"On the third of February last |
officially laid before you the extra
ordinary announcement OF the mi
perial German government that on
and after the first day Of February
it was its purpose to put aside all
restraints of law or of humanity
and use its submarines to sink
every vessel that sought to approach
either the port Of Great Britain and
Ireland or the western coasts of
Europe of any of the ports controll-
ed by the enemies of Germany with
=: 4Lo Mediterranean
81 am not thinking of the loss OF
property involved, immense and ser
ious as that is, but only of the wan
ton and wholesale destruction OF
the lives of non-combatants, men,
women, and children, engaged in
pursuits which have always, even in
the darkest periods Of modern his
tory, been deemed innocent and
Legitimate. Property can be paid
for; the lives of innocent people
cannot be. The present German sub
marine warfare against commerce
| is a warfare against mankind.
''When l addressed the Congress
on the 26th of February last
thought that it would suffice to as
sert our neutral rights with arms
our right to use the seas against un'
lawful violence. But armed neutral
! ity, it now appears, is impracticable
Because submarines are in effect
outlaws when used as the German
| submarines have been used against
merchant shipping, it is impossible
, to defend ships against their attacks

ORIENTAL NAVIGATION LINER
AZTEC SENT TO BOTTOM BY
SUBMARINE.

New York, April 2.-The Ameri-
can steamship Aztec, first armed
merchant vessel to sail from a port
on this side of the Atlantic, was
sunk last night by a German sub
marine off an island near Brest,
France.
The cable message from the
American consul at Brest that
brought the news Of the ships sink
ing to her owners, the Oriental
Navigation Company, gave no ink
ling as to the fate Of her crew.
An Associated Press dispatch
from Paris said; however, that while
some of the men aboard the Aztec
were rescued, a number were miss
ing and probably had perished.
The Aztec, under command Of
Captain Walter O'Brien, was man
ned by crew of thirty-nine. Seven
teen of this number, including thu
captain, were American citizens.
Whether the Aztec fought los
ing battle with her undersea adver
sary has not been disclosed. He
owners, believe, however, that sh'
had no chance to fight because sh'
was sunk at 9:15 o'clock at nigh
when a heavy sea was running.

Washington, April 2.-President
Wilson tonight urged Congress as
sembled in joint session, to declare
state of war existing between the
United States and Germany.
In dispassionate but unmeasur-
ed denunciation of the course of the
imperial German government, which
he characterized as challenge to
all mankind and warfare against
al nations, the President declared
that neutrality no longer was feast
BILE or desirable where the peace OF
the world was involved; that armed
neutrality had become Intellectual
enough at best and was likely to
produce what it was meant to pre-
vent, and urged that Congress ac-
cept the gauge of battle with ali
the resources of the nation.
Il advise that the Congress de-
clare the recent course OF the I'M
perial German government to be IN
fact nothing less than war against
the government and people of the
United States," said the President,
"that it formally accept the status
of belligerent which has thus been
thrust upon it and that it take steps
not only to put the country in a
more thorough state of defense but
also to exert all its power and en-
ploy all its resources to bring the
government Of the German empire
to terms and end the war;"
When the President had finished
speaking, resolutions to declare a
state of war existing were introduc-
ed in both houses Of Congress, re-
ferred to appropriate committees
and will be debated tomorrow
There is no doubt of their passage
The objects of the United States
in entering the war, the President
said, were to vindicate the princi,
pies Of peace and justice against
"selfish and autocratic power. y
| Without selfish ends, for conquest
or dominion, seeking no indemnities
or material compensations for the
| sacrifices it shall make, the United
States must enter the war, the Pres
ident said, to make the world safe
for democracy, as only one of the
champions of the rights of mankind
and would be satisfied when those
rights were as secure as the faith
and freedom of nations could make
them.

CLARK REELECTED
TO SPEAKERSHlP

Washington, April 2.-The DEM
ocrats, with the aid of four of the
five independents, organized the
House when the new Congress as
sembled today, re-electing Speaker
Champ Clark, of Missouri, and
sweeping into Office with him all the
other Democrats caucus nominees.
Mr.. Clark received 217 votes
against 2O5 for Representative
Mann, the Republican choice for
speaker, who not only failed to re-
ceive an Independent vote, but lost
the support of five of his party col
leagues.
All the Democrats present voted
for Mr.. Clark, and were Joined by
Representative Schall, Progressive,
Minnesota; Martin, Progressive-pro-
tectionist. Louisiana; London, So
cialist, New York, and Randall,
Prohibitionist, California. The five
Republicans who did not support
Mr.. Mann were Gardner, Massach-
usetts, who voted for Representative
Lenroot, of Wisconsin; Gray, OF
New Jersey, and Dallinger, Mass
achusetts, who voted for Represen-
tative Gillett, of Massachusetts,, and
Haskell of New York, and James
Michigan, who voted for present. .
Representative Fuller, independent
Massachusetts,, voted for Represen'
tative LenrOot.
To the surprise of the Republi'
cans, Representative Schall placed
Mr.. Clark in nomination. For a time
it was thought that he had done Sc
!, by inadvertance, but later it devel
oped he had acted through prear
rangement with Democratic leaders
He asked permission to address thu

The application of the Norwood
Truck Growers Association for re-
duced freight rates on agricultural
limestone was heard Wednesday by
the Louisiana Railroad Commission.
It was stated that limestone was
necessary for the East Feliciana
soil to raise clover, alfalfa and SIM
liar crops essential to the dairy and
the trucking industries, and that
Winfield was the only source Of
supply within the state, and that the
present freight rate was practically
prohibitive. Four or five tons Of
limestone to the acre are necessary
to counteract the acidity of the soil
in the vicinity of Norwood.-Pres

WHEAT AND HAY CAMPAIGN
NOW BEING WAGED

The Demonstration agents OF New i
berry county are still waging an az
gressive campaign for more wheat
and hogs. So far we have met with
very satisfactory results. We feel that
it is only necessary to call the at
tention of the people to the necessity
of growing more wheat and meat In
order to get results.
Newberry county this year only
grew about 10 per cent Of the wheat
that they consumed. Up to the pres
ent we have reports from the follow
ing school districts: Bush River
O'Neall, Bethel, Ridge Spring, St
Philips, Trinity, Garmany. These
Districts show an increase in the
acreage of wheat of 10 per cent over
I last year. This is fine showing but
/ still unless there is much more
wheat sown somebody will very like
" eat corn bread next winter and eat
it with mighty good relish. FROM tAc
pleasant outlook NewLe"ry county
will not grow more than one fourth
enough wheat to supply the normal
amount OF -four that we consume.
! Maybe we Will get the other three
fourths and maybe we Will net.
There is plenty OF time Vet to so"
wheat and it might be good policy on
the part Of the farmer who has not
already done so to put in enough to
supply his own needs at least. Ana
don't forget to raise your own hoss.
They are now selling for % cents Per
! lb. and very likely will sell for much
more than that before another y
months.
Yours Very truly,
T. NJ. Mills,
County Agent

SERIOUS TINES AHEAD.
Richard Carroll Urges the Sowing
OF Wheat.

To the Editor:
There are many negro readers OF
YOUR iournal-the leaders Of the race
in South Carolina. I refer to the
preachers and teachers, then there are
many white readers of your journal
who would gladly give information
and instruction to the negro people
AS see it there are some serious
problems ahead of US for the next
p months. First, the food problem
The chances are that the prices Of
food will 90 upward instead of down
ward.
Then there is the labor problem;
we can't produce food without labor.
Everything possible should be done
to get our people to sow wheat and
other grain, not only the people who
live in the country but those who live
in the cities should get an acre Or
two of ground and SOW wheat, rye,
oots. and rIant everything in the line
Of vegetables that will grow from
Janrary to January 7 never tell
reople 10 do what I am not doing NY
self: somewhere" in South Carolina
I planted wheat last week.
The labor problem will continue to
be serious unless the negro and the
white people can get together. Even
now there is a wood famine, people
in the cities can't oct wood to burn
because there is NO one to cut it;
there is plenty of wood but the cut
ters and haulers are few Our people
who farmed have "plenty of money"
and thev are nat dependent on wood
for cash, at least for the present
found in the last ten days people cry
ing for wood from Conway to Rock
Hill The next sry will be for meat.
White and negro must get together,
cooperate and solve these serious
for what hurts one race
hurts the other and that which helps
one race helps the other. I am not
writing this article for prominence nor
to appear as a leader but I am in
earnest, I am only a preacher Of the
gospel Of Jesus Christ and this is
the gospel every preacher should
"Chi'dren, have We meat"
Gather un the fragments that remain,
hat nothing be lost" He who came
% save mems soul also provided bread
and meat and taught economy.
