LORD DUNMORE COMING.
Distinguished British Officer to Sneak
Here Friday, May 81.

The most distinguished representa-
tive of the British army to visit South
Carolina since the great war started
is Lord Dunmore, who will come to
Sumter Friday, May 31st, and deliver
an address i'm the Opera House
that night. Lord Dunmore has
fought in every campaign that ii has
been possible for him to take part in
since he joined the British army I'm
his youth. He fought with Kitchener
liz Egypt, on the Indian frontier and
i'm the Boer war where he distinguish
ed himself. In the present war he
served two years i'm Flanders, being
twice wounded. 1t is to recuperate
from his last wound that he is now
in the United States. After the Boer
war he retired from the army and
took his seat i'm the House of Lords
where he quickly won a reputation
as a frequent and able debater.
His address i'm the Opera House will
deal with the war situation and he
will speak with the authority of an
eye witness who experienced the hard
ships of the terrible Flanders cam
paign of 1914-15-16.

Mr.. Jennings made the appeal for

in the meeting were inspired by the
spirit of loyalty and generosity and
they gave $4,000. All of Clarendon

Cross drive. The county was asked
to give $l0,500 and up to Tuesday

The Red Cross campaign to raise
the War Fund is still being vigorously
prosecuted in this city and through
out Sumter county. Committees are
individual will be called on before the
weeks end. In the county the work
on and in addition to the individual
| canvass meetings are being held for
both white and colored people at va
rious points. Reports from meetings
held last night are most satisfactory
the spirit that was manifested at
the mass meeting Sunday afternoon
duplicated everywhere in the county
and the people, rich and poor alike are
giving generously of their means to
provide all the money that the Red
Cross needs. 1t is the hope of the
committee that the Red Cross Fund
in Sumter County will be a unani-
nous offering in which every resident
| of the county who is able to give any,
thing will be represented. 1t should
be remembered that the one who
| gives only a dollar if that is the ex-
tent of his ability, has given as gen.
erously and as greatly as the one
who gives hundreds Or thousands ac-
cording to his ability. 1t is the spirit
that counts in contributing to the Red
by dollars but by the ability of the
