ANDERsOA's PRIVATE'S FUND.
TO CARE FOR COMFORT OF SOL.

Business Men Who Find it Impossible

Conditions of National Guardsmen.

Anderson, June 27.-Several busi-
ness men got together tonight and
started a movement to organize "the
privates' luxury and necessary fund"
to be Anderson countrywide with a
limited membership of 100 persons.
Each Of these 100 persons will sign
an agreement to pay into the fund SIS
per month las long as the Anderson
county soldiers are in service during
the Mexican troubles" and the $500
monthly will be remitted to Lieut..
Col. p. X. McCully, Jr., of the First
regiment, who will disburse it as he
sees fit among the privates of the sew
eral companies from Anderson county.
This money is to be used by the pri.
Yates in any way they want Ia
spend it.
There are hundreds of business
men in Anderson county who can not
leave their business to respond to the
call to service, and these men will
gladly take advantage Of the oppor-
tunity of showing the soldier boys
that they appreciate and have higr
regard for those who have so readily
and eagerly answered the call and
gone into service
Anderson county has led all coun-
ties of this State and possibly those
of adjoining States in furnishing men
and the people here at home wish tc
raise this fund as long as the men arc
In service to show in a material and
substantial way their great respec:

AT a meeting last night Of the pro-

ing w. Lee was asked to assume tenn
porary commandership of the organ

such time as permanent organiza-
ton was perfected. A committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Davis D. Noise.
Julian Schwartz and w. H. Flowers
was appointed to wait upon Mai. Lee
rand tender him the temporary COM
1mand, an offer which he accepted. ap-,
preciating the confidence which the
men had imposed in him. h.
MAJ. Lee is veteran of the COM
pany which went from here in the
Spanish war and has seen much SER
vice at the militia since that time.
having risen to the office of major be-
fore he resigned his commission from.
the service. He Is we'll liked gener..
ally by the young men of the city, who
have confidence in his ability and in.
tegrity, and should make a creditable
officer.
There were twenty-five men at the
meeting which was called to order by
Mr.. Geo. d. Levy, who stated the OBJ
ject OF the organization. He stated
that the men would elect their own
officers on his merits and personal
popularity with the men in the COM
mand. 1t would not be militia com.
pany, but would serve IL the call
came from the president for volunteers
to go into Mexico, in case Of war. 1t
would volunteer as unit and it's
members would not be eligible as re-
serves for drafting into other COM
mands.
1t was proposed that in the absence
OF other arms and equipment that
Prof. s. H. Edmunds be asked to loan
the arms at the high school to the
| company for use in drill This sug-
gestiOn was adopted. e*
Mr.. d. d. Noise urged the men not
to unite with the organization unless
they meant business. He stated that
he realized that hard drills would be
required and much time and effort
necessary before the company could be
ft for service and warned those join
ing that they must look at the matter
in 9. serious light and not as mere
play. 's@f
1t was decided to place copies of
the pledge with committee consist
ing Of Messrs. ID. D. Noise, J. L.
Sibert. ]. B. Duffie, Julian Schwartz
and l.. c. Bryan, leaving the original
with Mr.. Geo. D. Levy, in order to
secure additional names to the pro-
posed organization. Each man was
urged to do what he could to secure
additional men to bring the strength
UP to moro than sixty-five before the
next meeting. which is to be held at
the call of the temporary chairman.
Supt. S. H. Edmunds was called up
over the long distance telephone this
morning and permission was given to
use the rifles at the graded school.
There are ITO of the rifles at the
school and will be sufficient for both
OF the proposed companies.
