that Sumter county Will contribute
its quota of One Thousan,. Dol
lars This is indeed q very great
success and the money collected
viii be Of very great help to the
Salvation Army. The people Of the
county are very kind and chari-
table people. / am sure had it not

ness Of your staff to the campaign
it would not have met with such
great success. Miss Roman informs
me that each article which she
has requested You to publish has
been published in full. The sue
cess in campaigns depends largely
upon the cooperation ard the
assistance Of the newspaper and

if you will. through the columns
of your valuable paper, express to
the people Of Sumter county the
