COLUMBIA METHOD|STS
ENDOW SCHOLARSHIP
$4,000 RAISED IN LESS THAN A
WEEK BY THE REV. E. M.
HARRELL AND LAYMEN.

Columbia Methodists have provided
an endowment fund that will make it
possible for one student from this
church always to attend Emory uni
versity at Atlanta. This was done by
raising fund Of $4,000 this week.
The Rev. E. M. Harrell, commission
er for Tennessee from the Tennessee
conference for Emory university
preached at the First Methodist
church Sunday and with the assist
ance Of T. H. Williams, e. P. Turner
and Sidney Estes, laymen of the
church, made a whirl-wind canvass of
the congregation this week with the
result that the necessary sum was Sc
cured in record breaking time.
The First church will be given a
scholarship as long as the university
stands and the income from the $4,000
will go to the student to whom the
scholarship is given to be used for his
support, the tuition being free to the
holder of the scholarship.
Mr.. Harrell stated that he had
never raised fund for the university
with more ease and had never had bet
ter cooperation than had been given
him by the members Of the First Meth
odist congregation.
Besides this $3,000 other members
of the church have contributed large
sums to the university, making total
from this congregation far in excess
of the endowment fund.

100000 SOLDIERS !.

ALTHOUGH THOUSANDS HAVE
TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF GOV

The following communication has
been received by The Herald from
John L. Way, chairman of the Sol

bureau of war risk Insurance.:
"The unparalleled achievement Of
insuring approximately one million
soldiers and sailors with the United
States government would have been
impossible without your hearty sup
port and unselfish cooperation.
THREE QUARTERS OF A MIL
LION men, however, are still unin-
sured and on account of the termina-
ton of Automatic Insurance on Feb
ruary 18th, they have now no insur-
ance protection. The necessity. Is
therefore, for continued effort is man
ifest, for not until a goal Of an Amer !
lean Army and Navy ONE HUN x
DRIED percent issued is attained, will
we consider our task completed.
"The termination of the Automatic
Insurance on February IL, 1918, can-4
not be emphasized too strongly. Any u
person in the active military or
naval service, who is killed or wound
ed after February 18th, is without in
surance protection unless he has made
specific application. There Is immed-
late necessity for bringing this to
the attention of all soldiers, sailors
and nurses-all in the active military
or naval service of the Government.
Realizing that those in the active
war service at distant points may not
have had reasonable opportunity to
apply, Congress has granted an extern
sion of 60 days SO that If any mans
time for applying would have ex-
pired before April 18th, 1918 he may
make application therefore up to and
including April IL, 1918.
"The self-perpetuating organization
within the Army and Navy can be re-
lied upon to assume their full share
Of responsibility. Outside organiza-
tions, however, must not lapse into in
difference but must continue to exert
every influence on. the homes of those
who are in the service or who may be
called.
"The effect on the morale of the
Army and Navy from the conscious
ness of complete protection is DOM

JOHN 7. WOOTEN BACK
FROM SASTERN MARKET
BROUGHT HOME A TRUNK OF
SILKS FOR EARLY SPRING
DEMANDS.

John IT, Wooten returned Thursday
night from New York City where he
has been since the latter part of Jan
uary buying goods for the Maury Dry
Goods Co., Mr.. Wooten bought some
mighty attractive merchandise for his
store and in order that the best things
he bought in silks for the early spring
wear, he had laid aside and when he
started home had his trunk packed
full, and brought them along with
him.
Mr.. Wooten did this in order that
the silks would get here in time for
the great demands that will be made
for these choice articles, and owing to
the condition of shipping, both as to
express and freight, and knowing
these conditions, he would not take
any risk of not having them here for
his trade.
In speaking of the new goods and
the styles, Mr.. Wooten expressed him.
self as being highly pleased with the
American made goods and the Amer
lean made styles. OF course we are
getting some imported articles, but
the great bulk of the goods in this
country now are American made and
American patterned.
A great deal of the goods that Mr..
Wooten bought when he first reached
the market have already arrived and
some are still coming in, and just as
fast as the goods arrive they are be-
ing opened and placed in the shelves
and displayed in the show windows,
which is making the store fast change
its winter dress to that of spring.

COLUMB|AiCHOIRS TO
PRESENT EASTER CANTATA
JOUR RISEN SAVIOR" WRITTEN
BY MRS. E. L. ASHFORD, OF
NASHVILLE, SELECTED.

For some time past, the Music
Study club has been seeking some
method of furthering the cause of
music in Columbia, and as first step,
now asks the help of all the choirs
and singers in the presentation of an
Easter cantata, to be given Easter
Sunday evening.
With this in view the club selected
a composition by our southern COM
poser, Mrs. E. l.. Ashford of Nash
vile entitled "Our Risen Savior"
From the point of time this, work
would be considered ultra modern,
having been copyrighted in 1918, this
being its first production. Moreover,
it may add interest to know that the
composer herself plans to be in Co.
lumbia at that time.
The work gives brief picture of
Christ's triumphal entry into Jarusa-
lem, His trial, crucifixion, and resur-
rection, and is composed of several
beautiful solos, two violin numbers,
and many brilliant choruses.
TO properly produce this work, all
Of Columbia's musical talent must be
organized. The pastors have already
offered their assistance by agreeing
to make this union service, and it
is now up to their choirs to see the
thing through. A number of copies
of the work are already on hand, but
to ascertain the exact number need
ed and organize the singers the first
meeting is called for 1880 o'clock to-
night in the Methodist church. If for
any reason you are unable to attend
but will help in the work, be sure to
have your name and the part you sing
presented at this meeting.
1t is also the hope of the club that
an orchestra can be organized to sup
port the chorus. Toward this end any
musicians willing to cooperate in the
work are asked to attend the meeting.
Columbia should appreciate the
privilege of being the first to present
work of this character, and if well
done would be quite feather in her
cap unsteady.
