and it proves what two energet-
ic women, who are interested in
Red Cross work can do, in a very
thinly populated community:

FROM FLORENCE.

The righteous Red Cross move
now on should be a pleasant bur-
Gen upon every christian heart
surely SO upon every true pa
triot's heart. The appeal has
gone forth from the christian
head of this nation to every pa
triotic lover of his country to ally
himself and herself-man and
woman, boy and girl-as a work
err by entering the Red Cross
ranks, paying the one dollar
membership fee. Every indi-
vidual ought to feel impressed
that it is heaven-sent duty to
help in this work to the best of
his ::or her ability. The leading
object of Red Cross is to nurse,
care-for, and relieve the suffer-
ing of our soldier boys in camp
and battle front. And the Red
Cross way is the best way to do
this duty. The Mother (perhaps
financially poor who has a dear
soldier son somewhere in France
in some hospital, sick with pneu-
monia perhaps, or lying upon a
rough cot helpless and suffering
from a shell wound maybe,
pleads with you who are comfort
able at home t. help her save her
boy. She may be down on her
knees begging her Father in
Heaven to speed the Red Cross
work that her boy may be rescued
in time from death. Lay aside
your selfish feeling and bear
within your body a humane
spirit. Initiate the soldier in
Camp Jackson who the other day
begged the privilege of contribu-
ting his dollar to the Red Cross
in the present drive, because his
own life had been saved through
the Red Cross work. 1T is said
that this soldier was the first per-
son in Jackson to enroll his name
and dollar, in the present drive
for members Soldiers are not
to be solicited for Red Cross
money. The Red Cross is for
the soldiers benefit through con-
tribution from those who are not
soldiers. If any one wishes to
give to the Red Cross. don't wait
until some committee man or
woman calls in person, for your
name and dollar. Hunt up some
members you have confidence in,
and ask him to enlist your name
and hand him your dollar.
There was a gathering of Red
Cross members, and non-mem-
bers too, in the Baptist Church
in Florence last Sunday after
noon to discuss the affairs con-
nected with Red Cross work and
to do some good ''skirmishing'

as a prelude to the big drive to
be on from Sunday until Christ
mas day, for the enrolment ct
new members. The meeting
proved to be more entertaining
and deeply interesting than was
anticipated. "A fine spirit pre-
vailed throughout. The atten-
dance was about equal to a Sur
day morning service congrega-
ton. This was encouraging in
deed. Rev. S. T. Courtney, the
chairman of Florence Red Cross,
being engaged in the pleasant
task of speaking the words that
unite two loving being in matri-
mony in the Dry Creek communi-
| ty. At the hour Of this meeting,
Mrs. E. K. White, the vice-chair-
man presided. She stated the
object of the gathering. Some
very impressive addresses and
talks and readings, all inter-
pursed with singing of Sacred
Songs filled up the hour. Every
one enjoyed the meeting and felt
glad he and she were there. Mrs.
w. A. Rogers read the Call Of
President Wilson to the citizens
of the country to enlist in Red
Cross work by personally joining
and contributing a dollar each to
the Cause. Capt. P. B. Berry
had prepared with his own pen,
a very stirring article which was
read for him by Mrs. D. Taylor,
in which he contrasted the con-
ditions among the sick, the
wounded, and the dying in the
Confederate War in hospitals and
on the battle fields, with condi-
tons now obtaining in the pres
ent terrible war. Space will not
premit me to detail what all he
did say. But he showed up the
horrors of the battle field after a
big battle wherein the wounded
were left for a short while,
grooming, suffering, thirsting>for
| water, and pleading for relief,
but there was no Red Cross
workers there to help! Stirred
in the great deep of his old but
tender soldier heart, the captain
appeals earnestly for people of
today to join the Red Cross at
once, and prevent the repetition
of the horrors of a confederate
battle field. We hope to have
Capt. Berry's splendid appeal
published soon.
A. P. Dear, the chairman of
the committee to drive for new
members, made a very interest
ing talk on joining the Red
Cross. His committee is now at
work in the drive" ard will
continue the drive up till Christ
mas day. It is hoped he will end
up with splendid report of a
successful campaign. A splendid
talk on Junior Red Cross was
made by Miss Jackson, one of
the teachers in the school here.
Prof. Gum. tho principal Of the
High School, said good things on
our duties to our enlisted men1
Mrs. White said some nice things
about the negro organizations or
Red Cross.
Before closing this meeting a
good thing. and a touching one
too, was the posting conspicu-
ously upon the wall of the
church an Honor Roll of the
names of the thirteen enlisted
men who went from this COM
munity into the army, and spec
ial prayers in behalf of these
thirteen soldier boys were said.
This is fine, and we say this
should be done at every Red
Cross meeting.

Cian-Fu. China. in the seventh century.
by HISTORIAN heretics Of the Christian
faith. The inscriptions on the big
stone, In Chinese and Assyrian. prove
conclusively that Christianity had OBJ
tanned foothold in China at that
early period. The monolith was
brought here by DR.. Fritz Holm, and
for eight years II was exhibited ut the
American Museum Of Art. Then 1t
was purchased by Mrs. Leary, in
whose behalf took ii to Rome to
present 1t to the pope, who had 1t set
up In the Vatican museum"
So well pleased was the pope with
the monOlith that he conferred upon
Father Waring the cross Pro Ecclesia
ct Pontifice and gave, to him an auto
graphed photograph.

Havana, March 9.--Gen. Jose Miguel
Gomez. fomenter Of the present revolu-
ton In Cuba, has been captured, to-
gether with his entire STAFF. With its
leader and his chief heutenants prison
ers the backbone of the revolution Is
regarded as broken.
Official information OF the capture
was conveyed in a dispatch on We'd
nesday to President Menocal from
Santa Clara. The original report ema-
mated from General Collazo and read:
Il have Jose Miguel Gomez and all
his staff prisoners" Presumably the
capture was the outcome of the battle
reported Tuesday at Quiencuos. Gen
eral Solano Is reported to have been
killed.
Speedy execution OF Gomez was
predicted as the news OF the capture
spread In Havana.
The announcement OF the capture Of
Gomez was received with cheering and
the waving Of hats by President
Menocal and the army officers gathered
| at the palace. All officers, soldiers and
prominent civilians who later came TO
the palace also cheered the news.
The government troops surrounded
the rebels, he said. and attacked them.
Gomez and his entire STAFF were cap
tured In the running battle which fol-
| lowed
Small bodies OF men broke away
from the Gomez band when the at
tack revealed overwhelming numbers
against them. and escaped.
General Gomez has been a consplcu-
GUS figure In Cuba for many years,
and, as a public idol, once ranked al
most as highly as Gen. Maxine Gomez,
the commander in chief in the Cuban
rebellion against Spanish rule.
He is about sIxty-five years old and
was born In the province OF Santa
| Clara.
| After the Spanish-American war
General Gomez was elected TO the
Cuban assembly. He was later elect

he was elected president OF the re-
| public.
