GOVERNOR COOPER
DISCUSSES H. c. L.
GIVES INTERVIEW AFTER AT.
TENDING CONFERENCE.
People to Know Facts
Says Need of Hour Is the Increased
Production of Food
StuffS.

Washington, Aug. Ex-Governor
Cooper. of South Carolina, who has
been here for the past two days at
tending the governors conference
called because of President Wilson S
reference to cooperation between the
federal and State governments in the
high cost of living and general un-
rest problems, was asked this after
noon how the matters discussed at
the conference affected the Palmetto
State. The Governor replied:
"The way it appears to me, speak
ing for South Carolina, and bearing
in mind the duty and privilege of the
people of South Carolina to serve the
whole country in the emergency which
is now worldwide, is that the need
of the hour is an increase in the pro-
duction of foodstuffs and conservative
buying of the necessaries of life.
$50 far as I know there is no
boarding in our State, and I am not
expecting any prosecutions there by
the federal government. While con-
ditions in South Carolina may be en-
tirely satisfactory, there is unqes-
tionably very unsatisfactory condi-
tion in our section of the United
States. l think the government will
give the people full information as to
the reasonable cost of production;
then public opinion will furnish the
remedy. Take the matter of shoes,
for example. 1t is generally report
ed that pair of shoes that is sold
by the retailer for SIS is produced
and delivered to the retailer at cost
of $3.50 to 50. I do not know wheth-
er this is true or not. If it is, the
fact should be ascertained by the
government and the government
should let the people know it.
whenever there is a combination
or agreement between individuals or
corporations to maintain unreason-
able prices on any of the necessities
of life, and by reason of any such
bination or agreement they are
in position to maintain any such
fixed prices, a proper case for prose-
cution is presented. 1t is quite evil
dent that the original producer of
the raw material is not responsible
for excessive prices. The difficulty
will be found somewhere in the pro-
cess between the original producer
and the consumer"
Governor Cooper called on the
North Carolina delegation at the cap
itol. Adjutant General Moore was
present at the same time and the
question of the National Guard was
discussed to some extent with the
delegation. This problem as it affects
South Carolina and many other States
has been fully presented to Secretary
of War Baker by Governor Cooper
and other State executives who are
here. Pending Mr.. Bakers considera-
ton of the matter, the Governor pre-
ferred not to comment for publica-
tion upon it.

STOCK BOUGHT BY
 SWIFT EMPLOYES

Chicago, July 2S.-(Special)- )-More than 10000 employees ofEwift & Company are today vested with part ownership in the packing concern. Announcement has just been made of the results that came of the gigantic profit sharing plan recently offered by the company to it's people The avidity with which workers, from label stickers to managers, seized the opportunity to become partners in the business, is nothing short of sensation at the companys headquarters in Chi cago.
 So great was the demand for shares from employees that the company set aside sufficient stock to take care of such employees as are in the army and navy and who will be back within the next few months.
 we are pleased" declared F. s. Hay ward, secretary of the company, lat what we look on as a vote of confidence on the part of our employees. Their re- sponse to our offer has been fairly amazing. I believe today that our stock ledgers will show greater proportion of employe shareholders than any other large manufacturing concern in the coun- try
 Each employe earning up to s20 week was allowed to purchase one share of stock at it's par value, $100. The market quotation Is much above this. Employees earning $20 and up to 50 a week were entitled to two shares; 80 and up to $40 a week, three shares; $40 and up to $50 a week, four shares; $50 and over, five shares. No employe was allowed to pur- chase more than five shares. The stock is to be paid for at the rate of N share week.

STREETS ARE DARK FINED

Street lights along some streets were smashed and the streets darkencd Then the bright flashes from pistols would signify a new battle and soon the immediate vicinity would be surging mass of whites and blacks When they came together in larSe crowds, fists knives and clubs were used.
 While the black belt" was seething with strife, negro workers and church men sent out appeals that the negroes go to their homes and keep peace. They charged in most outbreaks the negroes had been heckled.
 After a lnotorman had been dragged from his car and killed by a group of maddened blacks shortly before midnight and dozen street cars wrecked, the street car company or dered that no more cars be taken into the troubAd area. The elevated trains also quit running in dangerous terri tory.
 Troops continued to move to a cen tralized point on the south side throughout the night, but up to mid night they had not been ordered to begin patro1ing the streets, nor had they helped in quelling outbreaks This was explained by the statement that the outbreaks had slackened to such extent that the police could af- ford protection

Perhaps more than score of negroes fell. Some were carried off by companions.
 For more than two blocks along the street negro snipers fired from points of vantage.

the beginning of the end, that only few short days remained before the campaign would be history. brought forth renewed energy. Efforts to cap ture votes and subscriptions were re- doubled. Friends are out boosting for their favorite candidates; campaign managers are organizing for an eff fective sweep of the territory.
 Outside towns are vieing with each other for the honor of claiming a win ner, and, realizing the urgent necessity of making haste. now that the race is about to end, they are pushing their favorites right up to the summit of the vote column.
 Determined methods are being brought into play to make an exhaus- tive "clean-up" of the territory. In the country division the horse and bug gy. automobiles, and other means of conveyance, are speeding up the candi- dates work. In the city of Birming ham and suburbs candidates are dart ing hither and thither. ever in quest of votes.
 One of the important factors that is urging candidates onward is the de- termination they have to make good on the confidence imposed on them by friends who have helped. One young Birmingham woman said yesterday that she felt it a duty to do everything pos sible up until the last minute for the reason that many of her friends had given her subscriptions and expected to see her do her best.

A MATTER OF PRIDE


 in achievement. Who is there who starts out upon a thing and doesn't like to finish it? Certainly the candi- dates in this campaign have made their minds fully up to see this race through, and use every effort to emerge victo- riously. It is shown by the wonderful aggressiveness they are putting into the last days.
 Uncertainty over the outcome has caused much speculation. Naturally everybody wonders who the winner will be, and others even venture to predict who it will be- This is liable to give currency to rumors that might dis courage other candidates For instance, in their zeal to predict a certain can- didate a winner. friends may give the impression that so-and-so is unbeat- able, or that she has immense vote re- serves, etc. Other candidates there fore should not take these tales too seriously, and should make allowances for the enthusiasm and consequent stretching of veracity that prompts the statement.
 Nobody has victory cinched yet. Vic tory lies in the final vote schedule. Any candidate can land the biggest prize this week by simply getting new sub scriptions, for they count immensely from now on.
 Candidates are meeting with lots of success in getting second payments. All subscribers who have sub scribed for less than five years have the pri- vilege of making another payment and extending their subscriptions to any period up to five years. And candi- dates get the benefit of the difference in votes.
 Make these final days the most ac- tive of any, that success may crown your efforts. The time is 'short-only four more days-yet any candidate can make herself a winner in that time. And when the sun sets on the final day, then you can reflect that yours was mighty effor6 well put forth.
