WILSON PAYS HONOR TO ROOSEVELT M A
 STATE MANIFESTO

wv WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-The following wv proclamation on the death of Theodore Roosevelt was cabled from Paris today by President Wilson and issued tonight at the state department
 By Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of America:
 "A proclamation to the people of the United States:
 Ut becomes my sad duty to announce of- ficialy the death of Theodore Roosevelt, presl- dent of the United States from September H. 1901 to March 4, 1909, which occurred at his home at Sagamore Hill Oyster Bay, New York, at 4:15 o'clock in the morning of January 6, 1919 In his death the United States has lost one of it's most distinguished and patriotic citizens, who had endeared himself to the people by his stren- llous devotion to their'interestS and to the pub lie interests of his country.
 As president of the police board of his na- tive city, as member of the legislature and gov ernor of his state as civil service commissioner, as assistant secretary of the navy as vice pres- dent and as president of the United States, he displayed administrative powers of signal or der and conducted the affairs of these various offices with concentration Of effort and a Watchful care which permitted no divergence from the line of duty he had definitely set for himself
 Tn the war with Spain, he displayed sing ular initiative and energy and distinguished himself among the commanders of the army in the field As president he awoke the nation to the dangers of private control which lurked Ill our financial and industrial systems. It was by thus arresting the attention and stimulating the purpose of the country that he opened the way for subsequent necessary and beneficent re- forms
 His private life was characterized by simplicity, a virtue and an affection worthy of all admiration and emulation by the people of America.
 Tn testimony of the respect in which his memory is held by the government and people of the United States I do hereby direct that the flags of the White House and the several de- partmental buildings be displayed at half staff for period of thirty days and that suitable military and naval honors under orders of the secretaries of war and of the navy be rendered on the day of the funeral.
 ''Done this seventh of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand, nine hundred and nineteen, and of the independence of the United States of America the one hundred and forty third.

 OYSTER BAY, N. Y., Jan. 7-Theo- dore Roosevelt will be buried here to- morrow as plain American citizen, United States, in accordance with his own wishes. His body will be laid at rest in plot of his own selection, in the village cemetery, not far from the Sagamore Hill, which he loved so we'll.
 The only funeral rites will be the simple Protestant Episcopal service. It will be read by the rector of the little country church, where he had Wor- shipped with his family. There will be none of the pomp and circumstance as- sociated with the passing of great men, but the presence of Vice President Marshall, who will represent President Wilson, General Peyton C.

 PARIS, Jan. 7-(By The Associated PressJ The return to Paris of Presi- dent Wilson, the arrival of Lord Robert Cecil, the special delegate of the British government on the league of nations, and the presence here of Leon Bour- gois, the French representative on the same subject, marked the inauguration Ul exchanges on the definite terms by which the league is to be constituted.
 Already considerable progress has been made on the various tentative proposals put forward, but in the re- tent absence of the president, these will take leading part in the final for mutation of the plan. Meanwhile, how ever, the various governments chiefly interested are presenting outlines m quite definite form.
 The British plans of this tentative nature have been presented-One by Lord Robert Cecil, the other by Lieu tenant General J. C. Shuts of the war cabinet The French plan, as formu- lated by NJ Bourgeois, has also been set forth, and these are being compared by the American specialists, who are preparing the ground work for Presi- dent Wilson.
 Two British Plans
 Lord Robert Cecirs plan outlines a broad and comprehensive organization of the league of nations, but thus far it iS in general terms and has not vet been reduced to definite terms of en- actment, as it would appea rin a treaty. General Shuts plan is along similar lines, but more general. and is mainly q. thesis on the advantage of such a league of nations. General Shuts is the former minister of defense of the South African confederation, and will come here with the British prime min ister David Lloyd George.
 Both of these plans are receiving careful study by the American authOri- ties and, it is declared, both are re- garded in a most favorable light though it still remains to reduce the general principles to concrete terms
 NJ. Bourgeois plan, embodying the French point of view, while general, al- so embraces a number of specific de- tails including compulsory arbitration. restriction Q f excessive armament, an international tribunal, and a series of sanctions or penalties for enforcing ob- SeENdNCe CT the IedSu ue UeciSlOnS, These sanctions inclule various diplo- matic, judicial and economic measures whereby the united nations may en- force their decrees.
 Formulate U. s. View
 The American viewpoint, as it is be- ing formulated bv the specialists, as the groundwork for the president, seeks to reach an accord on fundamentals or which all agree. and present them in simple working form. One of the chief Of these fundamentals is the formation Of a league which will embrace all the nations of the world, but not one which will establish any balance of power among group of nations.
 Also care is being taken that the in- fluence of the various nations in the Ieague would be in accordance witt tt<r size and importance, so' that the great powers and the small posery would have voices according to theil Btanding.
 Another feature especially concern.

crop campaign have been conducted
in several South Carolina counties
recently with fine results. In New
berry County six school district meet
ings were held to interest farmers in
growing more clover and starting al
falfa. These were attended by SO
farmers 81 of whom ordered alfalfa
and clover seed and ground lime.
County Agent Mills says: "I find that
farmers are becoming disgusted with
fodder pulling as a means Of getting
roughage and only wait to be shown
a substitute. One or two acres of
alfalfa to the mule on each farm
will deal a death blow to fodder
pulling"

be put on at time when money is
plentiful, beginning on September
2, the first anniversary of the break
ing of the Hindenburg line by the
Thirtieth Division. And, in addition,
the purpose in view is one that will
appeal directly and with peculiar
force to the people Of South Caro-
lima. In showing this mark Of re-
spect to our soldiers who participate
ed in the Great War, fighting for us
on the frontiers of freedom, and
those who made the supreme sacrifice
in the mighty struggle for civiliza-
ton and the preservation Of human
liberty, we shall be paying only a
very small part of our debt of graft

Every loyal and true South Caro-
linian will desire to contribute and
will want to have a part. If all

State-could give, only thirty cents
from each would provide even more

what Tanlac had done for her, and
I started taking it. I began to pick
