keeping Of our latest war records the
generations to come will be deprived
Of materials Of great value, or inspira-
ton and Of compelte understanding
Of operating factors in the lives Of
their forefathers.
Men Of this State fought splenddly
in the Thirtieth the Eighty-first, the
Rainbow and other divisions, in the
navy and in the marine organizations.
These mon dedicated their lives to the
great cause Of universal Justice. 1t is
due them that the memorial be erect
edp 1t is necessary for the rest Of us
that w erect it, else we shall suffer be-
cause Of duty and appreciation me-
gle> ed, Of inspiration lost. Those who
suffered the untold miseries OF muddy
fields and battle perils, those who
Travelled over the treacherous seas
will ever be remembered gratefully by
us all. This memorial is but one tok-
en- of this remembrance.
The work and sacrifices of our wo-
men have made a brilliant page in our
/, history. Without their unified assist
ancc, their sympathy, prayers and
courage. the morale Of our fighting
men would have fallen, and battles
won would have been battles lost
Shall this chapter Of our history be
neglected? The memorial building
will keep the facts fresh in mind.
South Carolina as a State is better;
we as individuals are better for hav-
ing had the soldiers, sailors and ma
rincs AS friends, brothers, sons, fa-
Tiers. husbands. We arc better, too,
for having had the noble women work
ers as friends, sisters and mothers
Those who served in the mobilizcd
| forces Of the Nation did their duty
we'll and willingly. Shall we not do
ours to the fullest. While they were
fighting, we supported them from our
positions at home. Their fighting is
now ended but we have yet another
task before US 1t is for us now i'
keep animated the high-sOuled ideals
which inspired the armies and the
fleets; it is for us to show apprccia-
ton.
Ingrattudc will never be used as an
adjective to describe South Carolina.
This is not an appeal, because no ap-
peal to the people Of South Carolina
in this connection should be ncccs-
sary, but merely a reminder that YOU
have tho privilege OF making a contri-
| button TO this very worthy cause on
or before November IT, 1919.

GOVERNOR AND EX- GOVERNOR
ISSUE APPEAL FOR MEMORIAL
Gov Cooper and ExGov. Manning Call on People
to Contribute to Memorial for World
War Dead.
TO the People Of South Carolina:

TO the People Of South Carolina:
The General Assembly at its last
session passed a joint resolution pro-
viding for the erection of building
as a memorial to those who died in
the service Of this country during the
World War, and to all others who
served, whether as soldiers, sailors,
marines, nurses or members Of kin
.dred organizations devoted to the
cause for which the war was fought.
Under the resolution the sum Of $780,
600 is made available from the State
treasury whenever, in the opinion Of
the Memorial Commission, which also
was created by the resolution, a suffi-
cieNt sum shall have been raised by
popular subscription. This commits
man, has decided that 100000 is the
proper amount to be given by the
people Of the State in direct donations.
The building, which will be erected
on lands now held by the trustees OF
the University Of South Carolina, will
have an alcove for each county, and
in these alcovcs will be preserved in
marble or bronze or other imperish-
able form tie ccOrdS Of the sons and
daughters OF the State who gave all,
or offered all. The memorial struc-
tnre will be held by the South Caro-
hna Historical Commission. The build
ing could easily be made to house
the records Of all the wars in which
South Carolina has participated, aud
thus, in the course Of a few years, to
become an admirable historical mu-
scum and library. Records and relics
OF the Revolution, the War Of 1872,
ne Seminole War, the Mexican War,
American War, and finally the great
World War could be assembled and
forever preserved.
In this building may be held meet
ings OF Veterans. various historical
and educational gatherings, and 9th
cr asscmblagcs which have for their
purpose the bcticrmont Of our State
and the honoring OF those who have
served and died in the days of dire
need. The structure will be an in

Lieutenant-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt an
nounces an intention to participate actively
in Republican party politics. Like his dis
tinguished father, he has established a re-
spectacle military reputation as basis for
ambitious political enterprise, and If now he
has some of the same kind Of vim and ability
characteristic Of his father, he will find a
friendly public sentiment ready to forward
his ambitions. To be successful in politics,
however. he must realize from the outset that
much is expected Of the son OF DISTINGUISHED
father and make sure that he does not dis
appoint that expectation by a display OF
mediocre qualities. In other words, oppor-
tunfty awaits him, but he must be wise in
his generation and neither underplay nor
everyday his role.
