Rock Hill Record, May %: The re-
suits Of the Salvation Army campaign
fund that were reported yesterday at 6
p. m, totaled $694.13. OF this amount
$456.88 has been paid in cash and the
rest has been pledged. The quota for
all Of York county Is only $4,000. East
ern York is expected to raise at least
$1,000, so that scarcely third Of
what the contributions should be has
been received. Surely when Rock Hill
has gone so bravely over the top In
every campaign heretofore, she will
not fall down when so worthy cause
as the Salvation Army Is at stake.
Two battalions of National Guard are
to be organized Immediately in South
Carolina to take the place Of the state
reserve militia, which Is automatically

been determined, but they will likely
be rehabilitated National Guard units

Georgetown or Walterboro..--..-..--lM Many
