Present were the executive committee of the Xewberrv chapter, members of committees in this chapter and representatives from lownsnips wno are liueresieu m uiganizing in their respective communities. Mrs. Frank Huster as chairman of the membership committee reported that as a result of ffee campaign inaugurated last week 156 new members were*added to the roil; .funds collected $159; and buttons sold to the amount of $12.65. The campaign had not been comple' M in ward 5, nor in Oakland ana ^These will materially swell the figures. t The sentiment or tne meeung was in favor of forming branches in the town and townships of the county, though this in to be left entirely with the people of the communities. So immense is the amount of business at Red Cross headquarters that there is delay in obtaining bulletins and information. It was decided in the meeting to ask the county papers to publish the necessary information concerning the formation of branches and auxiliaries. Rules for the latter will in Tuesdays paper. The Organization of Brancheg A Branch is a subordinate part of a Chapter with its own -officers, ana Its own territory assigned to it from I the Chapter's jurisdiction. A Branch is a permanent organization and is; expected to carry on in its community the work that a Chapter does in a larger territory. . - The Chapter has.sote authority for1 organising and directing its Branches. tfwm nf organization is similar to that of a Chapter, to which the| Branch stands in much the same relation that a Chapter does to the Centra] Committee. .How to~ Organize a Branch. The committee on organization of e Branch must file an application with the executive committee of the Chap*? *? ?v tVtp nronosed xer m wuusc juiiouiw.^^ ^ branch is to be located. When authority is granted,'the temporary committee of the proposed branch may call a meeting for organisation and the election of officers and of an executive committee.

Everyone knows the excedingly ' V hard struggle that the cotton mills of the South have had for the past sevj eral years. It has been about all they could do to make ends meet, and un der the great strain many of them ! have gone dowa. The stockholders have not received dividends in many ! of them for years, and the stock went ; down to less than half its par value. ' As the result of this many persons who have invested their all in this i stock really suffered. Widows and j orphan children were on account of it ! af tko mAaTKl of living j UV/J/I . . V-V* v,. After this great, sj&jggle a: better ; day dawned, and thc^fils haye only | recently begun to opine <back again. | They have improved their plants and increased the wages of their operI atiVeis, arid the outlook for the- stockI h'cWiders to begin -to realize -is very J encouraging, but just as;they.,are get* ; ting on their feet a bill has-.been inIntroduced in congressw;hich i4.it bej cojries. a law ..will just about finish the mill*. It will amount to coniscation. t | If we read the'iiiif -'right, :theiax on a iailf likelhe <?ree^6cnl- niin iwould "amount- to over <$114/000 a?\-a ;tax lor carrying on-the,war,;. XWs Wpuld, of course, be in, addition to the, regular State, county and federal income tax, Just a moment's consideration"will enable any one'to see what1 this- won Id mean. We do not like to charge, at this time, when our country is face, to face with a gerat crisis sectionalism, but I it is well enough to remembeT that the South is the home of the cotton mill industry, and while it is more than willing to bear its share of the war burden it demands just. and. considerate treatment. The practical confiscacation of mill property touches the very existence of thousands of people who have invested their all in this industry. Besides, men, women and children are dependent upon the labor *hev eet from these mills for their bread. It Is to be hoped that Southern congressmen will take hold of the situation with that vigor that the crisis demands and get help enough to preveht the passage of such a measure: It is-a matter of yital interest. Th4cotton mills are already bearing their* portion of the taxes of the country and more. There is no use; killing the: hen that lays the golden egg. m 'KMj THE HERALD ANT) KEWS TEAR FOR $1.50.
