MEMORIAL FOR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
Campaign to Open September 30 to
Raise 100000, Closing
November II.

On September 29th last year, South
carolina troops in the immortal Thir-
tieth (Old Hickory Division smashed
the Heretofore impregnable linden
burg line and fastened that which be-
came inevitable when the United
States entered the war against Ger
many On November 18th the armis-
tice was signed. This year, on Sep
tember 29th, first anniversary of the
smashing of the Hindenburg line, the
campaign to raise a fund to erect a
memorial to South Carolina soldiers
and sailors who made the supreme
sacrifice in the great war for human
liberty and for the preservation of
civilization will open. 1t will close
on November 11th, first anniversary
of the signing of the armistice.
These dates with their significance
for the people of this state, were de-
cided upon by the South Carolina
Memorial commission, meetingin Co
lumbia July 30th. The fund to be
raised is 100000, to which will be
added 100000 appropriated by the
Legislature at the last session, making
half a million dollars for fitting
memorial to South Cardinals hero
sons.
At the meeting Of the memorial
commission petition from a number
of physicians, asking that the plans
for the form the memorial shall take,
be changed and that instead Of a tenn
pie hospital be built, was received
and carefully considered, but since
the statute under which the commits
sion was created and which appropri-
ates 100000 toward the memorial,
designates and specifies the form of
the memorial, the commission was
powerless to alter the plans as previ-
ously announced. 1t was decided to
proceed with the campaign for funds
according to the original plan.
The work of organization is now
proceeding. The campaign will be
conducted along the lines of the sew
eral Liberty Loan drives. Chairmen
will be appointed in each county.
These will be asked to complete their
county organizations of workers in
time for the opening Of the campaign.
The quotas of the several counties
Will be announced in the near future.

years despite the fact that their pa

SHOPMEN BEGIN TO
RETURN TO WORK
Union Headquarters Confident Shop
men Will Make 1t Almost 100
Per Cent Return.

Washington, Aug. S.-Reports be.
gan to arrive at the railroad admin
istration late today from all over the
country saying that striking shopmen
were returning to work pending the
adjustment of their wage demands
by Director General Hines.
At all places where men are out.
local officials of the railroad admins
tration are cooperating with union
chairmen in explaining the necessity
for going back to the Job at once,
which President Wilson made a pre-
requisite to the opening of negotia-
tions.
Union headquarters were confident
that the shopmen would make it al
most 100 per cent return.
About 10000 out OF the estimated
100000 men in the shop crafts have
walked out to date, according to un-
ion estimates.
Union officials would not discuss
che possibility which the organic laws
of the association give for disciplining
recalcitrants who strike without au.
thorization of central bodies, but it
was pointed out that the single facor
of strike benefits would influence A
quick return. These are not made
available for payment to unlawfm
strikers.
