LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS IN MEN
AND MONEY.
All War Work Quotas
Oversubscriced
ln Every Phase of the War, This Fine
Town Showed Up in Splen-
did Manner.

lation of around 400, she has made
as great contribution, if not greater.
than any other town in this State for
it's size. The citizens Of Olar justly
feel proud Of the noble part they
have played in making the world VIC
tory possible. We are told that In
such stupendous times as our coun-
try has been passing through for the
past year, actual service is the only
word that counts. If this be true.
then Olar and her folks, should ever
be remembered as faithful co-work-
ers in the great struggle for democ-
racy. Her contributions consisted OF
men and money. Absolutely every
liberty loan quota was oversubscrib-
ed.
Today Olar points with pride to her
young men who sacrificed business
careers left cherished home ties and
volunteered in the service of their
country. No praise would be too
elaborate for these young warriors.
We stand ready to do them honor,
because when the roll was called and
the press reports began to reach the
dear old U. S. A., what division was
II that was commended by no less
noble personages than Field Marshal
Haig and our venerable Pershing?
The thirtieth division is composed OF
men from Tennessee, North and
South Carolina, and it was with this
division that many of the Olar lads
had an opportunity to make good
the promises they made to their IA
Tiers and mothers when the word
goodbye was spoken. The Eth OF
honor comprises the following names:
E. C. Barker, Archie Barker, ]. B.
Barker, Frank Brown, Hayne Bre-
land, C. M. Chitty, J. w. Chitty, W.
B. Cooke, Shelly Fail, Joe Garrett,
r. F. Goodwin, Horace Gunnels, S. l..
HERS, Jr., Clyde Kearse, Elvyn
Kearse, Faber Kearse, Henry Kearse,
J. c. Kearse, Fletcher kirkland, J.
R. Mccormack, Jr., A. r. Morris, Be-
selle Morris, C. C. Morris, Eddie Nor
ris, Henry Morris, ]. H. Morris, J. E.
Neeley, C. B. Ray, M. E. Rizer, c. H.
Still, and Juttie Still.
Since most of these men were vol
unteers, they naturally selected the
branch of service most inviting, and
for which they were best equipped
and fitted. Glars quota rates as fol-
lows: w.:
Number serving in infantry, 1S;
d. artillery, 4; Q. M. c. M. R. c.,
l.; aviation, 1; navy, 3.
Number of commissioned officers
in army, 3; in navy, 1; non-commis-
stoned officers in army, 5; in navy, 1.
Now that the war is over, we are
thinking of their home coming. For
tunately for Olar she has not lost but
one white man, although many of
her sons have been in the thickest
Of the fray.
The friends and admirers of First
Lieutenant c. B. Ray, M. R. c., who
was gassed while in action on the
night of October % near Verddn, will
be glad to learn that he has returned
to duty with his original division,
the 26th. Lieut.. Ray, before volun-
teering for foreign service, practiced
medicine here. DR.. Ray is an honor
graduate of the Medical College of
s. c. In 1917, realizing the need of
doctors in the army he gave up a fine
practice and offered his rerv1ces to
Uncle Sam. Immediately after vol
unteering the government commis-
stoned him first lieutenant and or
dered him to report to New York,
where he sailed for France Sept. Z,
1917. Since his arrival on foreign
soil, he has served on various Sec
tors, all of which will go down in his
tory as immortal battle grounds. They
are: Toul, Chateau Thierry, St. Mihiel
and Verdun. His time and attention.
while abroad, has been given to such
units and organizations as: 101 am
bulance corps, 104 field hospital, 101
ammunition train, 101 infantry. DR..
Ray was almost worshipped in his
home town, and the news of his dis
missal from the hospital will certain
ly be a source of much comfort to
his many friends.-Contributed.
