Campaign scheduled for November.
With their home counties ranging

scores of influential South Carolin-
ians, selected for their recognized
business and civic ability and for
their proven, patriotism, will take
part in the September convention.
National department and state rep
resentatives of the organizations
for whose work the fund will be
raised will be in attendance. The
keynote of the convention, according
to state campaign headquarters, will
be the vital need for seeing to it
that every American soldier and
sailor wintering in the service, es-
pecially in the battle area, gets ev-
cry comfort, convenience; and pleas
ure that human effort can provide.
w. D. Melton, the prominent Co.
lumbia attorney who will head the
United War Work Campaign in this
state, will preside at the convention.
r. H. King, formerly secretary of
the Charleston Y. M. C.. A., who will

>"eThe task facing South: q Carolina
is''rea1ly more of a privilege than a
task, said one of these leaders Sat-
urday. "To have given $1,000,o0o
of the sum which must be raised in
order that the American fighting
man may live under human, inspir-
ing conditions is something that will
always be remembered with pride
and pleasure by every citizen of the
state"
j. M. Clinton and William Sloan,
of New York, both famous for war
work activities, will speak at the
Columbia convention. They will
tell the story, now ready to be made
public, of how the war department,
with the approval and at the sug-
gestion of President Wilson, decided
that it was wiser and better, both
for organizations and contributors,
that the great soldier wefare organi-
cations combine their Embarrassing
Campaigns.
