Money For Memorial.

Last week the students of the Alb
beville city schools raised over $10O
for the South Carolina memorial and
the amount raised Friday, the day
set by the commission of the school
drives, was 5000, and was subscrib-
ed by the pupils.
Capt. J. D. Fulp, the superintend-
ent, had instructed the teachers the
first of the week to daily remind the
children of the plan and encourage
them to earn the money rather than
ask their parents for it. The chill
dren's interest and hard work is
shown by the sum realized.
