Consequently the People of America
Are Asked to Contribute Much
Larger Fund.
The letter given below will prove
of general interest in the city and
county:
The enclosed statement from Or.
John r. Mott gives nine reasons why
the National goal for the United War
Work Campaign should be raiser
from $40, SOC, 900 to- $3.50, 100000:
Realizing that more money woula
be needed than. had been asked for,
the States in the Southeastern De-
partment. already assumed quotas
Eaggregating s8.159, 900, which
amounted to 25. per cent. increase
in their. share Of the original goal, o1
which South Carolina accepted ST.
E000, 900. To meet our proportlonase
share now of the increase means lhat
I'VE should secure minimum ol
$3.50, 900 additional in this state.
Rather than add this amount to the
quotas already accepted, we are ask
ing each county for an over-suo-
i.scription of % per cent. on It's pres
ent allotment.
K. We are very much gratified with
1.-THE reports that come from your
|;county, and look with confidence TO
Isyour leadership to produce all o.
the results, both in money and good
feeling which are SO much desired
land needed. Sincerely yours
