FAIRFIEL) COUNTY
DOUBLES QUOTA!
NEARLY ALL OF DISTRICTS
HEARD FiAOM.
MORE THAN EIGHTEEN THOUS
AND DOLLARS RAISED DU
RING THE WEEK.
One of the greatest campaigns that
has ever been waged in Fairfield coun
ty has just ended with a complete vic.
tory. If every section of the United
States had responded as liberally to
the call for funds for the American
Red Cross, three hundred millions of
doRais would have been subscribed.
This county was asked for seven
thousand dollars. The reply was more
than eighteen thousand dollars and ev
gry dollar of it was given freely and
without a murmur. The people are
beginning to catch the spirit of the
movement, beginning to realize what
it is all about and the great need, and
as a -result they are giving with a lib
erality that was unheard of before
this time. The plan of districting the
county and apportioning the amount
to be raised to the several districts
proved to be one of the best in the
matter of raising money. Another
of the outstanding features of the
campaing was the amazing results of
the meetings held in the different sec
tions of the county.r. So far as is
known every district that held a meet
ing of the people and had speakers to
present the needs of the Red Cross
more than doubled the-allotment. The
only districts that fell below twice
what was asked of them were those
districts where no meetings were held
and there is every reason to believe
that these districts would have come
across if they had heard the needs
of the Red Cross as presentde by
speakers at the different meetings
held in the county.
The following is a list of the dis
tricts showing the apportionment and
the amount raised. In some instances
these figures may not be absolutely
correct as all returns are not authen
tic, but substantially they are cor
rect.

The entire quota for the county
was $7,000.00. The apportionment by
districts gives it at a much larger
figure. This came about on account
of the figures being made larger so>
that the excess in certain districts
might make up any lacking in others.

RED CROSS FUND.
LIST OF WHICH COUNTY MAY BE
JUSTLY PROUD-OTHERS TO
JFOLLOW NEXT WEEK.
The name of every man who gave
liberally of his. means to the Red Crosa
War Fund raised last week should be
inscribed on some fitting tablet and
kept as an honor roll for the county.
These men and women are doing a
noble work and should be commended
when they are willing to give their
dollars-the last of them if necessary
-to support the soldiers acros the
seas.
Below we are publishing the names
of all those who contributed to the
Red Cross War Fund together with
the amount' eadh person contributed.
These' ames and amounts are items of
news that are of great importance.
The general publid desires to kcnow
and they should know just what rren

standing by the gove-nment at this
time. These names will be published
by districts, and it will be necessary
to print a list of the names of some
districts in later issues of the paper
as it is both imp.ossible to get all of
the names at the presint time or to
find space for them all even if we had
them at hand. However, when the
last district's list is published it will
contain the entire list of contributors
and none will be left out. In this is
sue we are beginning with those in
Winnsboro district, as these names

GREAT MEETIGS
FOR RED CROSS
ALL WELL ATTENDED AND
MUCH INTEIST SHOWN.
PEOPLE RESPOND LIBERALLY
RED CROSS CAMPAIGN ONE
OF EDUCATION.
During the past week-a number of
meetings have been held over the
county in the interest of the Red Cross
War Fund campaign, and all of them
have been well atended and a great
deal of interest shown by the people
on all sides. There is every reason.
to believe that these meetings are
proving of great value to the people
from an educational standpoint as
they are giving information along the
lines of what the Red Cross is doing
and the great needs of the organiza
tion. From the result wherever -
meeting was held it is the general
opinion that if the war continues and
one or two more such campaigns are
held the people will have become so
well informed on the needs of the Red
Cross that all that will be needed
will be .simply to state that so much
morey is needed and the county will
give it at once without any special
effort being made. The people are
realizing that the, Red Cross is their
Red Cross and that it is necessary that
they support it.
Meetings were held at Jenkinsville,
Monticello, Salem, Lebanon, Green
brier, Cool Branch, White Oak, Wood
ward,- Mitford, and Blairs. Speakers
from Winnsboro were sent to all of
these places. The writer attended the
meetIng at Mitford and Blairs and is
in position to say from first hand
knowledge that the people of these
sections are wide awake to the im
portance of the situation. At Mitford
one of the most attentive audieiices of
.the 'county listened to addresses by
Messrs Wolling and SeawelL, at the
conclusion of which the amount asked
of the district was more than sub
scribed and there were still a large
number of people to be-seen.
Another of the splendid mneetings
was the on6 held at Blaris Saturday
afternoon. The meeti was held in
the store of the Blair-Frazier Compa
'r.y, and was attended by a large crowd
of the people of that section. Four
addresses of unusual force were de
livered. The speakers in order, were:
Prof. Rucker of the University -facul
ty, Mr. Kimball, an attorney of Co
lumbia, Mr. Seawell, editor of The
News and Herald, and Mr. J. W. Han
ahan, of Winnsboro. At the' conclu
sion of ~ these speeches subscriptions
were taken. The quota asked from
the district was three hundred dollars.
Within a few minutes mdre than dou
"ble that amount .hiad been rkised. The
Itotal reported from.that oje meeting
'alone was six hundred and eighty
'eight dollars.' Quite a good deal more
was raised after the meeting and later
reported to the central committee.
