Cole BleaFe suggesting that the friends of the late Dr. J. A.* Sligh raise a fund and turn it ovei to a committee frou the St. Pauls ? A Lutheran church tor the erection ui, a monument to the Rev Dr. J. A. i Sligh who served ihis congregation as ipastor for forty-seven consccutive years. He asked that I take charge . of this fund and make it a purely toIujitary contribution. The following is the letter: ... < Aug. 21, 1917 | Editor Herald and News: j Recently the county of Newberry ** ?* J A r\r* O lost by death a citizen wnu lictu UV/Xiv more?certainly as much for her? I along the lines of industrial, political and religious work as any man jr who ever lived within her borders. At one time he was the greatest power in the county, and his influence for good will long be felt among all ? -O- -1 +V.O* the people of Newberry, i leei tua> it is but right and proper that those of us who knew him so well and whose friend he was should do something *to perpetuate the memory of his good works, aqd I am enclosing you my check for $10 to start a fund for the erection of a suitable monu- J ment over the grave of our lamented friend and fellow citizen, the Rev. Dr.! 05. A. Sligh. J 1 nilh- ' 1 would be giaa n juu T? vu<u f"' lisb this Letter, and ask any who are willing to contribute to such a funa to place the money in your hands,J after which we will_ request his for- j mer congregation at St Paul's to de-j signate a committee of three to take af Werection of this rconu-, *VU?MflV ? ment. Very respectfully, Cole L. Blease. I did not publish the letter at the j time, not that I was unwilling to do anything that I could to perpetuate the memory of my friend and former and first school teacher, but I thought it would be right and proper to take the matter up with the members of the congregation and give them the ^ privilege of having a part in the rais- j B ing of the money for this purpose. And I had not had opportunity to confer with any of them,. , On Saturday afternoon Mr. T. J. j - - ??' ? in! Wilson suggested tnat i noon. up ui. and come by his home and take him i and Mrfe. Wilson to St. Paul's as Mr. T. A. Dominiok was to address the , j < Sunday school on ;Snnday morning. I consented. lAfter deciding to go it j ( occurred to me that this would be a!. e-ood time to take the matter up with j t the congregation. iW%en we reached j, the church the matter was mentioned i to Pastor Koon and I learned that the! j council had been called to meet after ^ Service to take up this very question. My proposition met the approval of < Pastor Koon and after the sermon he \ . i gave me the privilege 01 ptwcuuug it to the congregation which I did. I also on invitation met with the { council and it was decided to under- j take the pleasant task of giving an . opportunity to any of Dr. Sligh's j frielnds to k>ntrii>ute to the fund, j; There will be no canvassing for the i < monev and nc begging. Whatever is J, raised is to 'be by voluntary contribu- J : tioa &nd The Herald and News will I ? acknowledge from time to time the < amounts that are sent. I was asked ; toy the council to cooperate with them in this matter and to receive any contributions that any may desire 10" make. i , Pastor Koon was made chairman and treasurer and will receive any ifVlTltrihll. SU DSCnpuuu iu uic j.uuu. wvuk. , tions may be made to any member of the church council. It is to be a freewill offering and the friends of Dr. Sligh will be given the opportunity to contribute, whether members of the congregation or not. T)r. Sliffh did a great work for the church and the county and it is not given to many men to serve one congregation as pastor for forty-seven years and to hold the love and respect j of the members as he di.i. He wentj f Goggp^is-CopelancL Tuesday morning at 8:15, at the home of the bride's aunt, Mrs. A. C. Welch, a pretty wedding was celebrat- J ed when the . Rev. Ej. iV. Babb performed the ceremony uniting in mar-: riage Miss Eva Gary Goggans of this city and Mr. Jno;. Calhoun Copeland or Columbia, at which only members of the immediate families werepres-. ent. Tlie bride's costume was a coat suit of battleship grey broadcloth, with gloves and shoes to match. She carried a bouquet of lavender orchids and lilies of the valley. Th^ living room, where the marriage took place, was decorated with bride's ro<3 es ana icrus. Out-of-town guests: Mr and Mrs. James F>. Goggans, and James FGoggans, Jr., of Columbia; Dr. i and Mrs. Jack Young, Miss Elizabeth Young and Mrs. Arthur Copeland of Clinton; Mrs'. Robert Copeland of Laurens and Misses Kate..and Sarah Gary of Kinards. : The happy couple left immediately . after the ceremony for a bridal tour "somewhere in .America." ', i The groom is a prominent business , man and prosperous .merchant of Co- . luinbia. The bride is a lovely ani t lovable young ladv and numbers her friends by a great many score. j j "Camouflage, why, what is that?" 1 asked Miss Salina Spreckles.

And if there i; rnvthing left after the payment o! the actual cost it will go to the library of the high school. There are five entertainments an^ 'hey are firstclass and the first one ^ ^ong the best and it will be on Saturday night and the place is th* "orrt house.

SECOND LIBEBTI LOAN A TEST OF PATRIOTISM. $300,000 000. , fT\jr ^ ( To the Patriotic Citizens of NewberI ry: [ We are preparing for a canvass in Newberry county for a loan of $413,5 000, our allotment of the loan of '; $<5uu,vuu,uuu, mai our country neeaa * to finance the war. The loan will b? t secured by government bonds, rang ing from $50 upward. The amount of your subscription . will be payable: f Two per cent with application. > 18 per cent on November 15, 1917. * 40 per cent on December 15, 1917. ^Bj 40 per cent on January 15, 1918. 5 If you lack the cash, the banks will let you have it at a low rate of inter, est. On the first Liberty Loan*vtha government asked for $2,000,000,000. The patriotic citizens of our country subscribed more than $3,000,000,000. And there were 4,000,000 subscribers. The allotment for Newberry county was largely oversubscribed. The country is not asking us for a gift. It is asking us to lend it money at 4 per cent interest. The bonds will be exempt from ordinary taxation. The rate of interest is good, and the loan wil be perefctly safe. | While this is an offer of a safe in' A ~ ? A a n * > A 4" i A O rt vestment, it is <tt iuc same luuc au appeal to our patriotism. The governmany will measure us not so much by taxation. ^It must have the money to equip and support our army. Ger many wil measure us not so much by the size of the army we raise as by the spirit of patriotism with which we back the army. Nothing would delight the kaiser so much as to see this loan ^ fail. , / 1 , ' If our sons are willing to- sacrifice themselves for liberty, surely we should be willing to mal^ a safe investment for liberty. Be ready to cooperate with the committee. If you j have the money, make a loan to your ? 1 /loah country, ir you naveu borrow it and make a loan to your country. It is not your privilege -to serve in the army, but it is the privil. ege of every one of us to serve the couse of liberty'by supporting the army. ^ Liberty Loan Committee. October 8, 1917. !
