passIno Of London Landmark.

Another fine old London landmark,
st. Olave's church, In Southwark, Is
to be closed. 1t derives Its name from
Olaf, the Christian Viking of whom
Longfellow sings in stirring strain.
writes a London correspondent. But
England possesses churches with Dan
ish associations of different kind.
When these pagan sea rovers invaded
England and were caught, the ancient
English used piously to fay them and
nail their skins to their church doors.

grim relics Of the sort, one taken from
a church at Hadstock. Essex; a Sec

and third from the north door Of

A FORGOTTEN SCORE

About the worst old pirate Of the
early period was the Honorable John

the South Boulder. He was a strong
man and an extensive character, pop.
ular with almost everybody whom he
did not owe and by the W. his one
predominating fault was his failure
L. pay up He was so careless about
his credit that he could not keep
track of all the folks who had trust
ed him and they on the other hand
had good deal of trouble In keep
ing track of him and it was a big
country in which to become lest to
sight and memory dear. 1t is a good
thing that he did not live in good old
Athens where an insolvent debtor be-
came a slave to his creditor.
Cne winter just before Colonel
Rollins built his fsmous tollroad up
Jenny creek, Fast Yankee Doodle
and over Rollins pf IS, which is still
on the map where the Moffat road
crosses the range. he engaged a crew
of men to cut wood at Perigo. He
promised to pay them in the spring

him as a creditor.

SECOND RED CROSS WAR FUND
Campaign for Bamberg County on
From May Goth to 9th.

Having been appointed by the
Southern division Office (Atlanta
Ga.) of the American Red Cross, to
act as chapter war fund chairman
for Bamberg county in the campaign
for the second Red Cross war fund,
I desire to bring to the attention OF
our people the campaign that is to be
made, with the view that Bamberg
county may perform her part in the
work that is to be undertaken.
The period set apart for the cam
paign is May goth to 9th, and for
the purpose of making clear the full
purpose of the campaign l quote the
language of President Woodrow Will
son in his proclamation issued few
days ago, which is as follows:
''Inasmuch as the war fund of
1917 so generously contributed to
the Red Cross for the administration
of relief at home and abroad has been
practically exhausted by appropria-
tions for the welfare of our military
and naval forces and those dependent
on them, and for the yet more ur-
gent necessities of our allies, both
military and civilian, who have long
borne the brunt Of the war; and in
asmuch as the year of our partici-
patton in the war has brought an un-
precedented demand upon the patriot
ism and liberality of our people and
has made evident the necessity of
concentrating the work Of relief in
one main organization which can re-
spond effectively and universally to
the needs of humanity under stress
of war; and irasmuch as during this
war the closer and closer cooperation
of the Red Cross with our own ar
my and navy, with the governments
of our allies and with foreign relief
organizations has resulted in the dis
covery of new opportunities for help
fulness under conditions which trans
late opportunity into duty; and mas
much as the Red Cross war council
and the Red Cross commissioners in
Europe have faithfully and economi-
cally administered the peoples trust;
now, therefore, by virtue of my au-
thority as president of the United
States and president of the Red Cross
I, Woodrow Wilson, do hereby pro-
claim the week beginning May 20,
1918, Red Cross Week." during
which the people of the United States
will be called upon again to give
generously to the continuation of the
important work of relieving distress,
restoring the waste of war and as
sisting in maintaining the morals of
our own troops and the troops and
people of our allies by this manifes-
tation of effort and sacrifice on the
part of those who, though not privi-
ileged to bear arms, are of one spir-
it. purpose and determination with
our warriors; in witness whereof
have hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed the seal of the United States to
be affixed. Done in the District of
Columbia on the seventh day of May,

S.1S Per Cent. Failed to Appear.

Of the 3,0S2,949 persons called
under the selective-service act, 252,-
294, or S.1S per cent. failed to appear
for examination, according to a state
ment issued by the Provost Marshal
General. This number, however, in
cluded men who had previously en-
listed or been commissioned and had
failed to notify their boards, some
who had died, and many who were
transferred to other boards but by
mistake had been carried on the
books of their local boards -esti-
mated at 100000.
Many of the remaining 10000
were aliens, a number Of whom left
the country to enlist in their own
armies.
The statement estimates the
number of real "slackers" at not more
than $4,000, or an average of less
than 10 for each local board.
