State Executive Committee Is
sues Vigorous Appeal To
Every Democrat in South
Carolina
CAMPAIGN TREASURY
PRACTICALLY EMPTY
Funds Urgently Needed to Carry
on the Battle For Election of
Cox and Roosevelt

Columbia, Sept. 21.-The State
Democratic Executive committee
meeting in Columbia today issued a
vigorous appeal to every Democrat in
South Carolina to make a contribu-
ton to the national democratic fund.
The resolution calling upon the State
democracy to help supply the funds
for the election of Cox and Roosevelt
was introduced by General Willie
Jones, state finance chairman for
South Carolina. The committee points
out that the national ticket will face
actual disaster Unless the southern
democracy rushes funds to the res
cue. Every white man and woman
of the state is urged to Immediately
make some kind of a contribution to
this cause. 1t is urged that all money
be rushed to General Jones just as
soon as possible SO that he may for
ward it to the national democratic
headquarters in New York.
The party, leaders in every county
of the state are urged in a resolution
to go home and Immediately organize
campaign for the collection of this
fund. The women Of the. state are be-
ing organized by Mrs. Robert Coop
er, wife of Governor Cooper, and a
substantial amount will be secured in
this manner. ..... ~
The following resolution was adopt
ed by the state democratic executive
committee meeting here today:
The Democratic party finds itself in
the middle of presidential campaign
with its treasury practically depleted.
Tn esuccess of the democratic ticket
in November depends now on the
amount of money which will be raised
in the southern states. The situation,
according to advices from the nations
al committee, is critical. ~
A considerable sum is needed by the
national committee to pay the legiti-s
| mate expenses Of the national election.
The money must be raised in south
| Carolina, and other southern states
within the next 80 days
If the money is not raised in a very
short time, the democratic party will
face actual disaster. Governor James
VI. Cox is making a magnificent fight
against the republican party.
We, the members of the state exc
ina democracy, feel that il is the
duty of every white. man and every
woman in South Carolina to come
Immediately to the aid OF the party.
We wish to urge in just as strong
language as possible that every good
democrat of the state Immediately
make contribution to this cause.
1t is the sense Of the state demo-
cratic executive committee that all
party leaders in the state Immediately
assist in the organization of their
counties for the purpose OF personally
soliciting every democrat to give his
Just share of this campaign.
Itsis the opinion Of the state execu-
tive com mittee that the three hundred
thousand white men and white women
of South Carolina should give not less
than one hundfed thousand. dollars to
help in this noble cause.

MILLION D0uAR.B BAND

Both Classical and Ragtine
Music Lovers to Be Pleased
With Concerts, Dance

Uncle Sans Million Dollar band,

which saw service in France, and
which Is composed Of 80 efficient mu-
sicians, every man soldier, is going
to demonstrate to local citizens. just
how, by inspiring musical numbers.
they sent the battling Yankees into
victorious warfare and through the
German stronghold.
Led by Harold Bachman, whose
guiding hand conducted their actions
in Europe, the Million Dollar musical
organization, so christened by Gener-
al Liggett, after he had heard them
play in France, is on a tour Of the
principal cities of the United States.
BY far the most famous Of all mill
tary bands which saw service In
France, the aggregation Of musicians,
affiliated with the 10th Engineers
during the war, has been granted =
special privilege by high officials OF
the war department. Permission to
tour the country in concert work, I'M
der the title given them in war, and
clad in their khaki color uniforms,
was obtained by Director Bachman
soon after the unit had reached the
shores OF America.
This year the band has done away
with the khaki uniform, does not
depend upon it in any way for its
reception, and has doned a neat
blue band uniform for the usual con-
cert In extra hot weather, a uni
form of spotless white gives an added
attraction to the boys.
Harold Bachman's band will give
an afternoon and evening concert in
Bemidji on July 20 under the aus
pieces of the Ralph Oracle post OF the
American Legion. Following the eve
ming concert a pavement dance will
be held with music furnished by a
IL piece orchestra made up of some
of the best musicians in the entire
band.
While classical music is their forte
and the program is composed Of first
class selections, the million Dollar
band offers a sufficiently amount Of
jazz music to satisfy the ragtime mu-
sic lovers who are numerous in every
audience.
Then, too, the public, whether low
ers of classical or popular music, are
eager to hear this wonderful musical
organization play the airs which
served to inspire the fighting Yam
KEGS on to victory in the Argonne for
est in the closing months of the hot
1918 summer.
