NEGROES PLEDGE LOYALTY.
Committee, Headed by Richard Car.
roll, Calls on Gov. Manning.

Columbia, April Ga committee
of twelve negroes called on Governor
Manning this afternoon and present
ed resolutions adopted at mass
meeting of colored people in Colum-
bia the other night, expressing their
layalty to President Wilson and the
United States, and to the State gov
ernment. They offered their services
in any capacity in which they might
be used and assured the governor
that the negroes Of South Carolina
are ready to do their part as soldiers
in the army of the United States. The
committee, which was named by the
mass meeting to present the resolu-
tions to the governor, was composed
Of leaders in the several fields of en-
deavor and represents the sentiment
of the colored population.
What Negroes May DO.
Governor Manning assured the
committee of his appreciation of their
resolutions and of their willingness
to serve the country. He told them
that under the present plan it was
not the intention of the government
to increase the number of National
Guard units. He stressed the fact
that they could serve the country in
the present time in other capacities
than soldiers, and called to their at
tention the need to raise all the food
crops possible He urged them to
use their influence with the colored
people to stay on the farms and work
or take hold of any situations which
are offered them. The necessity for
economic preparedness is great, the
governor said, and it is here that the
negroes can be of great assistance.
The governor referred to the re-
cent migration of the negroes to the
North and said that he believed a
great deal of this was obtained
through misrepresenting the condl-
tions there and the fanciful stories Of
wages. He said the South was the
place for the negro and the governor
urged the committee to use their in
fluence in stopping this migration.
The chief executive assured the COM
mittee that he believed in giving the
negroes fair treatment and assured
them that this was his purpose and
intention. He told of his apprecia-
ton of their patriotic action.
Some Would Be Notaries.
The committee asked the governor
to make appointments of negroes as
notaries public and said they suffered
much Inconvenience in not being al
lowed commissions as notaries. The
governor told them he would con-
slider this matter and will have some
thing to say on it further. He had,
he said, revoked the commissions of
negroes as notaries because in some
instances they were abusing their
commissions and were imposing on
their own race The committee said
they hoped he would investigate each
applicant thoroughly and name only
such as were worthy of commissions,
but that it would be a great help to
them in business. The governor
promised to give careful considera-
ton to the matter. The Rev. Rich
ard Carroll came along with the COM
mittee. He was the chairman of the
mass meeting.

New Moving Picture Screen.

4 new kind of screen for showing
moving pictures is translucent. and
is used between the spectators and
the lantern. A ribbed surface. not
distinguishable at a little distance.
increases the brightness Of the pic
lures. which makes it practicable to
exhibit them by daylight or in illum-
mated rooms. Another advantage is
great security, as the risk OF fire or
panic is much less with the lantern
behind the screen in front than with
it exposed in the back of the room.

century, arrests of alien enemies un-
der the attorney generals order Will

TO PRESERVE SILK GARMENTS
Get the Habit of Washing Your Stock
ings Nightly.

Gel tne 6aptt OF washing your otock-
ings Nightly.
Precipitation and dust do a lot to
wear out silk stockings; therefore If
you wish to prolong the life of this
very expensive item of your wardrobe
you will remove your stockings after a
dusty walk and wash them at once.
Never throw them in the laundry bas-
ket, there to remain several days or a
week perhaps in their dusty condition.
This treatment Is death to the delicate
fiber. Wash them out at once In
plenty of soapy water, rinse thorough
~ and when dry do not iron. Ironing
is not good for fine silk and not neces-
sary anyway, because as soon as the
stocking is put on all the creases are
drawn out.
This may seem like a lot Of trouble,
but as a matter Of fact If made a part
of the nightly preparation for retiring
it soon becomes second nature.
Silk underwear should also be
washed frequently and not allowed to
stand in its soiled condition. 1t is at
tention to little details like this that
give some women Of moderate means
the reputation of being well dressed.
They know how to care for the costly
items Of their wardrobe.
