Pleased With Spirit of Abbeville
Mr.. Daniel then proceeded to ask
various questions of the local Off
GERS present. He was Immediately
surprised to learn that people here
responded ~numerously to the appeal
for personal work. Usually, he
stated, the number actually engaged
in making bandages dwindles down
to about ten mad stays there. He
asked how many canteen ladies Abb

his establishment when told that
there were eighty-three. "Why,
that is twice as many as Savannah
has," he said. "And I expect Able
Vile handles about twice as many
troop trains as Savannah" Mr.. Joel
Morse, head of the local Red Cross
interjected. Mrs. Frank Nickles,
who is captain of the Saturday Sec
ton, acquiesced in this.
Mrs. Nickles was especially asked
how the Canteen Ladies treated the
negro troops. She admitted that
there was some hesitation in face of
the problem at first. But the Able
vile ladies decided that the colored

MI. Daniel laid great stress upon
the extreme Importance of each in
dividual's help in the Red Cross
work. He came to Abbeville with
deeply agitated feelings, he said.
For Hugo Wells, a New York friend
whom he loved more than a brother,
had just died at the front. Nor had
he died ~deservedly on the battle
field, such as was appropriate to a
mar of>his red blood. But in an am
bulance, back of the lines, while on
the way to a base hospital, Hugo
Wells died for want of an ambulance
pillow. They had none there and
the joltng caused him to bleed to
death. This is the individual appeal.
For any one of a hundred thousand
could make such a pillow.
The meeting was not designed for
entertainment, as Mr.. Daniel early
pointed out. He came to ask ques-
tions and to answer any that might
be proposed. The following infor-
nation was especially important:
1. The Red Cross pays freight
on the goods sent out. Consequent
ly, Red Cross wool is the cheapest
of that quality. Buy all your ma
terials from Red Cross headquarters
so as not to get an inferior article
and so as not to cause competition
against the Red Cross.
g. Send all goods to the Red
Cross prepaid. This allows the or
ganization to get a two-thirds rate.

as the whites and were likewise
fighting for our homes, and, conse-,
quently, they had refused them moth
ing. Mr.. Daniel stated at this point
that he had nowhere heard of South
ern women refusing. to give refresh
ments to the negro troops. He
thought it a wonderful commentary
on the southern temper.
"The spirit of this town thrills
me-" he said. And after various
questions Of local members had
been answered, the meeting was
adjourned.

An audience of about a hundred
and fifty was present at the Court
House Monday night to hear the ad-
dress of Mr.. Royal Daniel, field Sec
rotary of the southeastern division
of the Red Cross, with headquarters
at Atlanta.
Not claiming to be an orator, Mr..
Daniel, who is a gentlemen Of kind
personality prematurely gray, i'm
pressed those. present by his deep
seriousness and profound earnest
ness. He began by observing that
the war had brought US closer to-
gether. This alone, in his opinion,
justified the war. The situation is
reminiscent of soldiers expert
ence in the trenches. A cootie had
settled On his shoulder and was itch
ing fiercely. In his effort to pluck
it off, he had to bow his head just
as a shell barely flew over him. That
one movement saved his life. AS
he held the cootie in his hand, he
said, "Cootie, this war has brought
us closer together. You saved my
life and all I can do is to save
yours" So the soldier put the cootie
back on his shoulder. g.

WILL USE SMILEAGE FUND
flor UNCLE SANS BOYS

Watertown's. Smileage campaign
opened today. The quota assigned to
this city is $500, based on the estim-
ated population of 10000 The many
girls under the direction OF Erwin
Bittner are busy soliciting for buyers
of the coupon books in order that
those in the service may have amuse-
ment in plenty and free. Smileage
books containing 20 or 100 coupons
and selling for 81 and SIS are intended
for soldier boys you know at camp or
those who are there but have no
friends to think of them only those
who make it a point to see that the
boys as a whole are benefited with
their generosity. The books are good
in all Liberty theatres, one of which is
in every camp. They are transferable
but can only be used by soldiers in
uniform.
The goal for the drive is 100000
Smileage books, but as million dol
lars worth of smiles are good for our
soldier boys, why won't ten million
dollars worth be much better?
Do yourp art Don't wait until you
are approached by campaign workers.
Show your interest in the boys by Civ
ing them a third of what you spend for
amusement in one month. Many of
the boys send their money home as the
majority are helping to support their
relatives and cannot go to places of
amusement very often because their
funds are low.
