HELP THE PARTY

HELP THE PARTY The Advertiser appeals earnestly to the Democrats of Alabama to come to the aid of the party's Campaign Fund. This seems to be Democratic year. The party is harmonious and well or ganized. But money is needed. The managers of the campaign must look to the rank and file of the party for funds. Other States are responding liberally. Alabama Democrats must ,-not be slovA If every Democrat in the State would give s1 1t would help mightily.
 The Advertiser believes the Demo- cracy of Alabama will do it's part. The Advertiser pledges itself to work un- iceasingly to secure the money.
 Let every beat in the State orga. snize. Every white man In every beat should be solicited. The Advertiser will receive the money and forward 1t zo the National Committee.

an emergency will go beyond the volume of

ance agent that knows when to accept a risk
and when to refuse, without constant reference
to the head offce-these are the men wanted.
Why is this? Because there are in every
financial and commercial house in the country
plenty of men that can look wise and hold
their jobs so long as things are running
smoothly, but who in any emergency whatso-
ever must stop to consult somebody, lose time,
and often hurt their employer, because they

LAWSON.BALL CAMP.

At the meeting held in April it was
resolved to call special meeting al
Lancaster June 3rd, to celebrate the
centennial of the birth of Presiden;
Jefferson Davis. Comrades Hubbard,
Marsh, Chiffon, Blackwell and Dunaway
were appointed committee Of arrange
ments. 1t is very desirable that all the
members of the Camp shall be present,
both because it has been a long time
since there was full attendance, and
because the interests of the Camp
demand it. A dinner will be prepared
at Haynes hotel. for the expense of
which the Camp will be responsible.
An incidental object of the meeting is
to replenish the treasury; but it will
faiI-indeed, there will be loss-unless
the members generally attend. Ice
cream, berries and cake will be served
by the ladies of the Confederate Choir.
who will also sing appropriate songs.
Hon. William A. Jones will deliver an
grafton, and it is hoped that another
distinguished orator also will be present.
The Camp appeals to all people to come,
enjoy the occasion, and help the Old
Vets to raise money for the benefit of
the needy. w. F. DUNAwAY.
