FOUNDDRsHIPs FOR TANIAssER
Industrial School-Anderson ID. A. II.
%&4 Women Actively ut Work.
(Daily Mail, Sept. 22.)

(Daliy MILL, Sept. 2Z.)
At the regular meeting Of the An
drew Pickens Chapter, D. A. r., held
on Monday afternoon, the goth, the
chapter received the very interesting
news that sixteen new memberships
for the Tamassee Industrial School
for mountain children had been Sc
cured among the members Of the
chapter and a few friends in the
community. Previously five founder
ships had been given by the members
Of the chapter. A foundership con-
sists Of a 500 gift towards an en-
dowment fund for the Tamassee
school, and movement is on foot
among the various chapters Of South
Carolina to get as large number Of
memberships as possible for the en-
dowment of the school.
Perhaps one Of the most interest
ing phases Of the matter Is the fact
that the Andrew Pickens Chapter
has given its second foundership,
given at this time in memory of the
graduates Of Clemson College who
lost their lives in the service during
the war. The chapter had already
given foundership in its own name.
This makes a total of 21 founder
ships which the Andrew Pickens
Chapter-rather small in number
is able to report to the State organi-
cation, which is fostering the Tamas-
see school, and the report of Mrs.
Bryan to the chapter indicates that
several other memberships are to be
expected within the next few weeks.

CONFEDERATE VETS ARE ASKED
TO Take Their Own Covering to Re-
union to BE Held at Houston.

AS the equipment for the u. c.. V.
reunion at Houston, Texas, was not
to be obtained from the government,
the general secretary of the veter-
ans has sent out a letter informing
all veterans that they will have to
take their own blankets with them
to Houston If they wish to take ad-
vantage Of the free entertainment
offer made by the city.
The letter is as follows:
lowing to the fact that we have
been unable to get the equipment
from the government, we have been
compelled to change our plans.
"The reunion committee have pur-
chased 5000 mattresses at cost Of
100000, and will place the veterans
in the school houses, as was done at
Tulsa. For many reasons this is pref
cradle, especially in case of bad wea-
ther. a central mess hall has been
established where the veterans will
receive meals.
"Thc failure Of the government to
supply Ii with the necessity cots and
blankets, as has been the usual GUS
tom, and our inability to secure these
after repeated efforts, has forced us
to ask the veterans who desire to be
entertained free by the city, to bring
their own blankets. feel sure that
under these circumstances the veter-
ans will not object to this. This plan
has been adopted only after we have
exhausted every effort to secure the
necessary equipment.
