LAST DAY OF DRIVE
PUTS LAON OVER
'r'iNENDS PLUCK OF COUNTY
CHAIRMEN AND WORKERS
ALL OVER THE STATE

The success of the Victory Loan
drive in South Carolina was a sur
prise to nearly every one-except
to the stout hearted chairman,
Charles H. Barron. says the Colum-
bia State. When Mr.. Barron took
hold of the campaign about three
months ago, he was greetn' on a.,
sides with such encouragement as
this "Oh, it can't be DONE" The nub-
lie seemed to think that there was
no interest in the camnaign, as the
war was over. The people had gone
through with a devastating epidem-
ic Of influenza. They had gone
through nearly a dozen drives anG
campaigns for money. The mindS of
the people were tired and not re-
sponsive to propaganda, appeals and
argument.
Many of the county chairmen
thought that it couldn't be done.
Mr.. Barron said that it could and
would. His optimism became infec-
tions and the trick was turned.
Yesterday Mr.. Barron expresse'
Il. great qualification at the success
of the efforts of the workers in all
the counties. First" said Mr.. Bar

Seven sailors were injured, and
after first aid at Roper hospital
were sent to the navy yard hospi-
tai.
1t is believed that many more
were injured, who do not appear on
the records.
There were fully fifty arrests
made by the police, provost guards,
and marines, and many cases were
docketed, charging the carrying of
concealed weapons, mainly. There
were few charges of melting riot.
Many of these arrested, negroes
mostly, were released later.
Playing a part in the deplorable
affair was a mysterious gray auto
mobile, said to have been filled with
negroes, who shot into the Roper
hospital lobby, and also fired at the
police station.
There were scores of attacks made
in the riotous outbreak, and for
some hours thousands of men were
in the streets.
Considering the number Of shots
fred, clubs welded and brickbats
hurled, there is wonder that more
fatalities did not occur and that
more were not injured.
King street, from Queen up to
Columbus, was the range of the
main disorder, with many attacks
made in side streets, and later iso-
lated attacks in other parts of the
city. The sailors, aroused by reports
that one of their number had been
shot by a negro, and inflamed fur
ther by other reports that sprang
up from time to time, were deter
mined, apparently, to "clean up"
every colored man they came into
contact with. Negroes, in many in
stances, threw brickbats and used
pistols, and for hours grave disor-
der prevailed. The long list OF in
iured and the two dead men tell
eloquently of the fury of the night.
