CJOPER m MANNING MAKE APPEAE ■
FOR SOLDIEIS’ FUND
To the People of South Carolina:
The General Assembly at Its last
session passed a joint resolution pro-
"viarhg foF the erection of a 'bmidmg
as a memorial to those who died in
the service of this country during the
World War,, and, to all others who
served, whether as soldiers, sailors,
marines, nurses or members of kin
dred organisations devoted to the
cause for which the war wt? fbttjtUt
Under the resolution the sum of
000 is made available from the estate
treasury whenever, in the opinion of
the Memorial Commission, trhich also
was created by the resolution, a suffi
cient sum’ shall have been raised by
popular subscription. This commis
sion, ef which the Governor is chair
man, has decided that $400,000 is the
proper amount to be given by the
people of the State in direct donations.
The building, which will be erected
on lands now held by the trustees of
the' University of South tGarotiaa;-wiH } fields
respect fpr gallant deeds and. great
sacrifices has not always been evi
denced. This neglect of historical in-
NjlfMallon has continued' to the pres-
ent. day, and unless we do something
speedily for the collecting and safe
keeping of our latest war records, the
generations to come will be deprived
of materials of great value, or inspira
tion and of a compelte understanding
of operating factors in the lives of
their forefathers.
Men of this State fought splendidly
in the Thirtieth, the Eighty-first, the
Rainbow and other divisions, in the
navy and in the marine organizations.
These men dedicated their lives to the
great cause of universal justice. It is
due them that the memorial be erect
ed; it is necessary for the rest of us
that w erect it, else we shall suffer be
cause of duty and appreciation ne
glected, of inspiration lost. Those who
suffered the untold miseries of muddy
have an alcove for each county, and
in these alcoves will be preserved in
marble or bronze or other imperish
able form the ecords of the sons and
daughters of the State who gave all,
or offered all. The memorial struc
ture will be held by the South Caro
lina Historical Commission. The build
ing could easily be made to house
the records of all the wars in which
South -Carolina has participated, and
thus, in the course of a few years, to
become an admirable historical mu
seum and library. Records and relics
of the Revolution, the War of 1812,
the Seminole War, the Mexican War,
the War of Secession, the Spanish-
Amerlcan War, and finally the great
World War could be assembled and
forever preserved.
•' In this building may be held meet-
'ings of Veterans, various historical
and educational gatherings^/ and oth
er assemblages which have for their
purpose the betterment of our State
and the honoring .of those who have
served and died in the days of dire
need. The structure will be an in
spiration to patriotism, courage, jus
tice and gratitude.
South Carolinians have been some
what careless as to the preservation
of their historical records, a proper
AMERICANIZATION
URGED BY RENTON
Chairman Senate Committee Investi
gation Steel Strike Issnes State
ment
Washington, Oct 13.—Americaniza
tion of foreigners should be an imme
diate effort of congress through legis
lation, declared Senator Kenyon, of
Iowa, chairman -pf"tire"serrate -labor
committee, which returned today from
an investigation of the steel strike in
the Pittsburgh district.
Asserting that about half of the
steel Workers are of foreign birth and
cannot read, write or, speak English,
Senator Kenyon said one of the first
aims of congress as a result of the
committee’s inquiry should be Ameri
canization legislation. The senator
declined to discuss other ideas gained
from the committee investigation
which he said would be continued in
the near future, possibly in other
strike districts.
In a formal statement issued late
today Senator Kenoyn said:
’T do not desire to discuss the steel
strike, nor the reasons nor causes
therefor ajt this time. The committee
,~*h©s*<^|it8,jp vest i-
traveled over the treacherous seas
will ever be remembered gratefully by
us all. This memorial is but one tok
en of this remembrance.
Tlie work and sacrifices of our wo-
ipen have made a brilliant page in our
history. Without their unified assist
ance, their sympathy, prayers and
courage, the morale of our fighting
men*would have fallen, and battles
won would have been battles lost.
Shall this chapter of our history be
neglected? The memorial building
will keep the facts fresh in mind.
South Carolina as a State is better;
we as individuals are better for hav
ing had the soldiers, sailors and ma
rines as friends, brothers, sons, fa
thers, husbands. We are better, too,
for having had the noble women work
ers as fj*iends, sisters and mothers.
Those twho served in the mobilized
forces of the Nation did their duty
well and willingly. Shall we not do
ours to the fullest. While they were
fighting, we supported them from our
positions at home. Their fighting is
now ended, but we have yet another
task before us. It is for ua now *' r
keep animated the high-souled ideals
which inspired the armies and the
fleets; it is for us to show apprecia-
gation. I think it permissible to say,'
however, that the committee returned
from the Pittsburgh disrict srongly
in favor of some Americanization bill.
“I have thought for a long while
that congress must do what it could
to help stimulate Americanism. That
is a common ground upon which we
all can stand and-is a rallying point
for all. When you find that-in some
of these mills over 50 per cent of the
workmen cannot read, write or speak
the American language; iwhen it is
necessary in these mills to publish
orders in all kinds of languages, it is
time for the American people repre
sented by the American congress to
give determined consideration to some
tion.
Ingratitude will never be used as an
adjective to describe South Carolina.
This is not an appeal, because no ap
peal to the people of South Carolina
in this connection should be neces
sary, but merely a reminder that you
have the privilege of making a contri
bution to this very worthy cause on
or before November 11, 1919.

Stadebaker “Auto” Track—and Why
First — why “auto** track? Because “auto** track
wagons fit the roads of today. Because the track on
nearly every country road is now made by auto
mobiles or wagons with a standard width of 56
inches. And because no other wagon width will fit
any of the roads in the very near future.
Second—why Studebaker? Because the manufac
turers of Studebaker “auto” track wagons are-and
have been wagon specialists since 1852. Sixty-seven
years of wagon building by this concern has left its
trail of improvement after improvement right up to
the last wagon they have delivered to us.
*
Among the special construction features brought to the
highest possible state of perfection by these manufac
turers, and included in the building of Studebaker
“auto** track wagons, are the slope shoulder spoke,
transom plate, trussed axle and dowel pin. All wooden
parts are given a linseed oil bath before painting.
And the makers of these wagons have also‘perfected
their bwn exclusive method of “dishing” their wheels
to insure their running on a plumb spoke. Because
of the way in which they build set and gather into the
gears Studebaker wheels revolve freely and “chuck”
between the skein collar and the axle nut.
These are but a few of the reasons why your next
wagon should be a Studebaker “auto” track. You,
yourself, will discover a hundred more once you see
this wagon. And any that you may miss, well be
glad to explain to you. Come in and look this wagon
over whether you’re ready to buy today or no^

plan affording these foreign citizens
an opportunity to learn what the in
stitutions of America stand for and to
become Americanized. We saw some
young fellows who had only a smat
tering of our tongue who impressed
us as splendid material- out of which
to make Americ^an citizens.
‘Two bills are now pending before
tho. committee of iwhich I have the
honor To~T5T“cn£aIrman, ' Sealing” wllh
this question. The committee meets
this week to take them up, and I
earnestly hope that one or both of
them may be reported out of the com
mittee and may be passed by oongress
before adjournment. There is no
greater question than that of Ameri
canizing this nation of ours.
“Many of those who cannot speak
our language are yearning to know it
and want the opportunity to learn
about our Institutions. Most of them
have subscribed for Liberty bonds but
how can they knoiw anything about
American institutions when they can
not speak America’s language. We
cannot reach a one-language nation
over night but that eventually should
be our goal. It will take some time,

policemen were killed, was shot and
killed by two white«men, J. S. McMinn
and Robert Cawley, in the Anderson
mill village this morning at 8 o’cock.
The men came to the police station af
ter the shooting and gave up to Chief
Sammons, who notified Sheriff San

the county jail.
but the result will be wortth while, for
there is national soliditary in all peo
ple of a nation speaking the same
language. ' Eight and a half million
people in this country over ten years
of age cannot speak, read, or write
the American language. To the cor
rection of that condition every citizen
should resolve to do his part.”
Frazier’s body showed five bullet.
wounds and his head one. A white
man turned over to Sheriff Sanders
two pistols, one of .32 calibre and the
other of .38, which he said MdMinn
and Corley had given him. The .38
had three empty chambers and the .32
had four.
Frazier was one of a gang of ne
groes which is being employed by the
Fiske-Carter Construction company of
GTewinwrtn"'Tgwtnrg"iiPBii>s ai 1 me-
Anderson mill. He appeared early
Friday morning and asked for work.
During the afternoon he is said to
have given some trouble and that he
made boasts about having killed four
men. This morning the two white
men went into the house where, he
was at work and called his sttention
to the poor class of painting be was
doing and told him to go over It. It
is said that he began cursing them and
put his hands in his overalls. The
men claim that they had heard him
say he had a pistol and that upon
seeing him make this move, they fired.
The shooting occurred in the room
where the negro was at work. A .32
calibre U. £. special was found upon
him. It is said that his home is about
four miles north of Anderson.
