should be arranged wherever large
audiences can be obtained. The
best and most patriotic speakers of
your county should be engaged for
these meetings. The State Council
of Defeuse will furnish speakers
wherever possible if requested. The
meetings should have a dignified
and even religious character rather
than a character Of j~olliicatioD, and
the aim should be to thoroughly
awaken the spirit of patriotism
among the people and direct their
thoughts to national service. The
solid facts of the war situation
should be strongly presented and

A Tribute to- Lewis v. Claxton,
A Prince hath fallen!

A. Prince hath fallen!
There are few people living to-
day who have known Lewis Claxton
longer than this writer. We were
boys together. When the bugler
sounded the alarm of war in the
sixties, from the mountains to the
sea, he answered the CALI in the bud
and flower of his young manhood.
He volunteered in the Nineteenth
S. G.. Regiment, and fought IN the
Western army.
In war he was as brave as Cesar;
in peace, as gentle as Ruth.
Mr.. Claxton was a man of strong
personality. His convictions were
based upon the standard of truth,
honesty and virtue. He stood for
his church and loved its doctrine.
But Lewis V. Claxton is dead.
Every home in the Phillip section
mourns and every heart is sad, but
LIE has fought his fight. His armor
has been laid aside;.his warfare has
ended; the victory has been won
and his memory blessed.
He plies his task yonder under
softer skies. He still sits IN the
family circle, but out Of earthly
sight. i
His life was an alphabet on q
high plane lin action, words anpe
deeds. His thoughts pure, hls
words chaste, his dealings with hlE
fellow.man was on the level by the
square.
1 beg to mingle my sympathy
with the immediate family and fonc
friends. ,c ... !.
His old company will miss him
It was his custom to give a big din
ner to his. old company annually
He was. one of the few who de
lighted to drop the rose and iillie'
of sympathy and the sweet Vlolet'
of love in the path Of the"living. =.
1 cannot say, and will not say
that he is dead; he is just away
| We will think of him as just th'
same. / say he is not dead-he, Il
just away. -.
/ now come with this bouquet o
flowers and lay them on the new
made, grave of my friend. Ma.
they be kept there by the might!

N. G.. Evans, County Chairman.
= Eduefeld. County:

After careful consideration you
have been unanimously selected by
the State Council of Defense as
chairman of the Council of Defense
for your county.
After careful consideration and
consultation with the wisest advisors
in your county you will please Sc
Elect the other members of your
Council. The size of your Council
will be left to your discretion, but
you should have at least n mem
Der IN each township, and all i'm
portant interest should be repre-.
sented on the Council. Churches,
schools, banks, business, manufac-
turing, professional and agricultural
interests, women's organizations and
the press should all have representa-.
ton, as we expect to call on all
classes to cooperate IN the work of
National Defense. Township coun-
ellis should be formed under the di-
rection of the member or members
of your council from each township.
We would suggest that the farm
demonstration agent of your county
(if you have one) should be a mem
Der of your council.
The most important work imme.
diately before the Council of De-
tense is the informing and arouslng
Of our people as to the situation
which the war has thrust upon US.
An efficient and promptly success
full prosecution of the war will be
impossible unless the whole nation
stands solidly behind the govern,
ment, each doing his proper part fol-
the c of military operations.
To that end we wish you to secure
the support of all available agencies,
and as promptly as possible, in CO.
operation with the State Council oil
Defense, put on a campaign in your
county which will reach all of your
people.
A negro committee composed OF
leading colored citizens should be
formed in each county, and the cam
paign of education should be waged
among the colored rae as vigorous
ly as among the white.
The cooperation of. every minis
ter of the gospel will be necessary
and we'll informed speakers should
be frequently delegated to attenc
church services, and with the per
mission of the ministers have a fe'
words to say ON the national sitna
ton at the: end of the service.
When the schools reopen tn
same program should be followed
there. We suggest that speaker
be secured to make short talks dur
ing intermissions at moving pictur,
shows and other places where PEG
pie congregate.
The Council of Defense will b.
used as the mouthpiece of the gov
ernment and the informant of I'll
government as to the state of affair
in the country. Please, therefore
lin selecting the members of 5ou
county council and your speaker
have an eye-singte to the eficienc,
of the service we are expecting t
perform. Select only men and VIC
