RED CROSS ROLL CALL .
.'.'...<,-~ IS NOW IN FULL SWING

The annual Roll Call Of the Red
Cross society, "the greatest mother OF
them ALL" which began November l
will run until November "a. Mrs. j..
D. Carroll of Lexington is in charge
of the roll call here, and she is anX-
ious that good showing be made for
this locality.
Volumes might be written about
the work of the Red Cross and, yet
the half could not be told. Wherever
and whenever flood, pestilence, fire,
earthquake or disaster Of any kind
anywhere in the world overtakes any
people it is the Red Cross that ex-
tends the helping hand to
humanity. Particularly in war
and the terrible after consequences OF
war has the Red Cross stepped into
the breach, and extended helping
hand to stricken peoples everywhere.
At present thousands of soldiers suf-
fering from the wounds received in
the late world war are being aided to
regain a footing in, life through the
Red Cross. In Central and Eastern
Europe, where the blighting hand OF
war has been laid heavily upon the
children the Red Cross has taken
over the burden of sustaining life in
the generation that is growing up.
There is no bette" way in which a
dollar can be invested than in the
Red Cross Roll Call. If YOU have
not already subscribed your dollar,
don't put it off any longer. The world
is still sorely in need Of help. You
may think you are hard up but in
comparison with some Of the peoples
of this old world, you are in good cir
cumstances. Dig up your dollar for
the Red Cross. 1t wont hurt.

WILL PEOPLES
BE- IN RACE
FOR GOVERNOR
Former Attorney General.
Practicing Law in Colum-
;, bia, May Enter Lists
Next Summer.

The Dispatch News in in receipt of
the following communication from
Hon. Thos. H. Peoples, former attor-
ney. general, now practicing law IN
the Capital City, in regard to news
article which appeared in this paper
September %. The editor regrets
that an erroneous statement was made,
but was informed, on what seemed
good authority, that Gen. Peoples had
removed to his former home in BarN-
well. 1t takes pleasure in correcting
mistake which was unwittingly
made.
Gen. Peoples letter is as follows:
Editor. The Dispatch-News, Lexing-
ton, S. C.
Dear Sir:-The statement in your
issue of September 2Sth. as follows:
Thomas H. Peoples, former Attorney
General, is another possible entrant
in the race for Governor, though, like
Senator Wightman, he will hardly op-
pose Eiease. Recently he has re-
.moed to his former home in Barn
well. There is some talk that he will
be candidate for congress, which
his renewal to Barnwell lends color
to- is iEcorrect.
I have been rather reticent as to
future political efforts and at the
present cannot say definitely what
will be my next political move. l
can, however,, most positively state
that l am not a candidate for con-
gress from the Second Congressional
District. I have not moved back to
Barnwell county but am a resident
and citizen of Riehland County, prac-
ticing law in Columbia and doing the
best can for my clients, just as l ex-
pect to do for my cosntituents and
the people at large When elected Gov
ernor. Should offer for, Governor
next year and be elected with a gen.
eral assembly in keeping with my
policies, 1 am confident taxes, so far
as the State levy is concerned, can be
substantially reduced without impair
ing the progress for better, educa-
tionally, morally or in any respect. l
cannot reconcile the consistency OF
the high cost Of living in recent years
justifying the present unprecedented
taxes. In my opinion there are too
many overlapping State Departments
and several should be abolished.
These propositions, together with
others of import, I hope to discuss
before the voting public at the proper
time.
Very respectfully,
THOS. H. PEOPLES.

ELECTION MONDAY
FOR LEXINGTON

The election held Monday for
mayor and aldermen for the town OF
Lexington passed off very quietly with
very little interest evidenced. There
