The Red Cross Drive.

When it became known here that Rec
Cross workers in Memphis had appOr,
toned to Fayette county $4,000 as Oul
share Of the 500, ,O0O.OO fund to bC
raised last week by the National RED
Cross for army work, It was thought BY
many that this sum was more than oul
share, but this thought did not deter q
single worker from doing his very best.
All hands in every district set about the
work of raising his share with q deter.
Enination that guaranteed the success
of the effort from the first day Of the
campaign.
The several districts Of the county
were assigned just share of the $l5,.
600 and a committee In each district
put In charge of raising that sum.
half the districts in the county went
far above their quota before the cam
paign ended Monday night, and the
county gave more than $40, 900 instead
Of the $4,000 asked of US. That the
sum was more than our share is evil
denced by the following quotas: Hay
wood county $40, 900; Upton county $1O.-
900: Maury county $4,000, etc. But
with 9 large allotment Fayette county
eGnas out ahead OF the hounds and gave
more than she was asked to give and
mighty few men in the county refused
to give something. ]. A. Johnston
ESQ.,. who was one Of the canvassers in
the third distrect, stated to The Falcon
that but two white men in the district
refused to contribute and not q single
colored man refused to contribute. The
colored people Of the eighth district
gave more than a thousand dollars, and
from every district The Falcon hears
fine reports of the way the colored peO-
pie of the county did their part in the
drive.
Rev. Sutton Griggs of Memphis
spoke to his race in several parts of
the county and did excellent education
al work for the cause, and everywhere
good collections were made after bis
addresses. He spoke to q large gath
ering of white and black on the east
side of the courthouse Saturday after
noon and his talk was enjoyed and ap-
