A Letter to Women
OF Pickens County
My Dear workers of Pickens:

My Dear Co-workers of Pickens:
know from your efficient chairman
that the women of Pickens are we'll
organized and ready to launch the big
gest and best campaign that they have

the Third Liberty Loan and Red Cross
demonstrates the spirit of good fellow

teristic of the Pickens women.
Everyday as we read the casualty list
in the war news from lover there" we
realize how big part the women are
playing in this world crisis. Our sis
ters in England and the other allied
nations know the meaning of the word
sacrifice in way that is yet to come
home to US. SO many of our husbands,
brothers and sons have already gone
and million more are shortly to be
called. Sixteen and sixty are fighting
side by side somewhere in France
and we women in the second line of
defense must not only take the places
of our men that have been called, but
must also keep up their courage and
morale. TO do this we must respond
to everv call, whether it is War Saw
ings Stamps, Liberty Loan or Red
Cross. "Our boys must be fully
equipped, armed and fed and we want
them to know that we are backing
them and doing our utmost for them at
all times.
The war situation is most grave,
more so than the majority Of us realize,
and we must welcome campaign after
campaign for the cause Of victory and
feel that it is our privilege and oppor-
tunity to be able to participate in them.
Try to make every person you come in
contact with visualize what "our boys
are daily facing and am sure that
every man, woman and child will catch
the spirit, for We can only win this war
when as 4 united people we WILL
to "WIN" it.

Gov. Manning Is
sues Proclamation

The following proclamation was re-
Gently issued by Governor Manning:
Whereas, the United States gov
crnment is relying on the War Savings
plan as one Of the most powerful
weapons it can WELD against the bar
harous German military power which
threatens the safety and independence
of the free nations Of the world
Whereas, either the civilian popu-
lation must deny itself some Of its Gus
tomary comforts and luxuries, or else
the nations fighting men must lack
equipment and supplies, without which
they cannot be maintained against the
enemy, as there are not sufficient la
Dor, material and manufacturing facili-
ties in this country to supply the nor
NAL peace demand, and at the same
time meet the gigantic extra demand
caused by the war for freedom and
humanity in which we have pledged our

Whereas the people Of South Caro-
lima have more than measured up to
the needs of the day and hour in every
their patriotism;
Whereas, the sale of War Savings
Stamps is promoted by the govern
ment as one of the main sources of
revenue to provide the means Of carry
ing on the war, and our people must
deny themselves luxures and comforts
for the benefit of our valiant soldiers
and sailors, and we must cooperate
fully with our sister states in saving
for victory;
"Now, therefore, l. Richard |. Man

MEAT INCREASE
At Time NEEDED
Producers Responded NobIy
When Demand Was Shown
to Them.
CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.
Government Justified in Pork Policy
Which Nov. Provides Chief Svp-
ply to Meet, Three Billion
Pound Fat Shortage.

In line with the general plan Of con-
Administration Immediately following
the entrance Of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat PRODUCERS Of this country to the
war program is Of particular signifi-
canoe, as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
minlstration by the nj ,at producers OF
the country.
According to reports of the U. 5.
Department Of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle Of 1O,23S. 900 head
and 12,441 900 hogs, these figures COM
piled to January l last. In the same
period there was decrease Of Sl?.cOO
head Of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January l unofficial infOrma-
ton indicates an increase in hogs Of
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase In
average weight.
Following the request of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than 1,6OOOOO,0OO pounds
more Of pork products than were
available last year. Without this In
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 30.
1917, amounted to 9O3, ,172,OOO pounds,
while for the same months of 1913 the
production was 1871, $4,000 pounds,
an increase Of over 74,OOO,OOO pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records Of dressed
beef showed 1,263, 100000 pounds as
against 1,454, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
/, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German olpres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation OF
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on us for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply its deficien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.

revealed all along the line. Neither our

could have achieved the wonderful re-
