LAURENS COUNTY
TO RAISE $1,000

State Legislature for Memorial to
South Carolina's Dead Soldiers and
Sailors.
While the Thirtieth Division was
meeting in Greenville, the first ami
versary Of the smashing Of the Hin
denbnrg line was being celebrated
throughout the state in most fitting
manner. The anniversary marks the
opening Of the campaign to raise by
public subscription 100000 to be used
together with 100000 appropriated by
the legislature to erect a Memorabilia
South Cardinals soldier and sailor
sons who gave themselves to the cause
OF freedom
The campaign was launched att a
meeting Of the Memorial Commission
and County Chairmen held in Column
bia Friday, at which Governor Cooper
presided and former Governor Man
ming and others spoke.
In Laurens county Mr.. Albert G.
Todd has accepted the Craftsmanship
and has appointed the committeeman
named below for the various school
districts outside Of that part Of the
county which will be handed from
Clinton. Or the $1,000 apportioned to
this county Clinton has assumed So 800
and this will be raised from that city
and the school districts Of Hunter and
Jacks. Mrs. w. d. Ferguson has ac-
cepted the craftsmanship of the wo-
mans organization and will make pub
lie full particulars as to her campaign
next week. Mrs. Ferguson has taken
an active interest in all Of the war
drives and Is expecting the women of
the county to support her in this cam
paign as they have in the past.
Subscriptions, so far as possible,
will be for cash. and receipts will be
issued by the solicitors at the time
these donations are made. IF, howev-
or, it should not be convenient for any
one to pay cash at the time Of sub
scribing, note bearing no interest
will be taken, to be paid in either
thirty or sixty days. 1t Is believed,
however, that the great majority OF
subscriptions will be paid at the time,
thus saving the expense involved in q
collection system. 1t Is intended by
the Memorial Commission that all
moneys subscribed to the Memorial
Fund shall actually go toward the
erection Of the Memorial itself, with
tho exception, as a matter OF course,
Of the small expense incurred in put
ting on the campaign.
