South Carolina was ; ashed for $905,730 in the united war , work campaign, and despite the fact , that the armistice has been signed, gave $1,146,000, oversubscribing the ( State's quota by nearly a quarter of a million dollars.

"Summing up, South Carolina's contribution in money toward financing the war, through liberty loans and war savings stamps, and the humanitarian and welfare wbrk incident to the war, through the Red Cross and the Y.

"In both the Red Cross campaigns, of 1917 and 1918, the people of South Carolina oversubscribed their Auotas; giving a total of $1,590,221 in the two campaigns, $318,000 in 1917 (when the quota for the State i y.. was $300,000) and $1,272,221 in $?*, v 19L8. This year the quota was $400,- " 000^ The people of South Carolina ^ gave, therefore, more than three : times what they were asked. j "But not in dollars alone can the 1 Red Cross work of the State be fig- . ured. In South Carolina there are { sixty-one organized chapters of the Red Cross, with a total membership of 80,647, covering every county in the State.
