KEl) CROSS ACTIVITIES.
An enthusiastic meeting was held
in the new court house 011 Monday
morning. 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*?

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. The officers
of a Branch are the same as
those of a -Chapter; that is, a chairman;"
vice-chairman, treasurer and
secretary. These four officers, and
at least, aptej' .ifr&ter- person,'. elected

Qn.the evening of July 14, 1917,1
the spirit of Mrs. L. V. Livingstone)
was called to the great beyond. She
was 51 years, 2 months, 24 days old.
She leaves to mourn her departur: a \
kind and loving husband and eight i
devoted children, three daughters and
five sons. The daughters are Mrs.,
Mary Cammon of Newberry, Miss Annie
and James Livingstone. The j
sons are, Mr. Ernest, Robert, Clarence,
Effice and Tars Livingston of Pomaria, I
R. P. D.. She also leaves an aged
mother.
Her body was laid to rest the fol*?'?
JT>h4Min* church amid
lowing twiy 01. i
a large concourse of friends and rel-j
atives. Mrs. Livingstone was a good
woman;. and was loved by all who
knew her. r Qh, how sad when we'go
to that home to see her bright and j
lov;nsr * 1 more.
, She was always so thoughtful for
I
the comf- -t of others, but we know |
where to i r?d her. j
During her long illness all that
human skiu and tender, loving care j
could do, was done to restore this J
J precious one, but God in His wisdom!
j saw fit to take her to a brighter
i _ Vinmo ?S
world, and hereDy a nayvj ,
shrouded with sorrow.
She is sadly missed by all, but oh, j
in that s&d familv circle her place
!
can never be filled, her loved ones
are grieved by her absence, but arej
sustained by grace of the comforter,
and the hope of renewing the tender
ties in heaven, that were formerly on
earth.
She shall no more be "with her
fi-ion/u and loved ones here, but we
hope to meet her on the other shore
beyond the river of death. In our
blindness we can't understand it, but
at last when all of life's lessons have
been called up higher we shall see and
understand.

There are manv mvsteries in life

CONFISCATING MILL PROPERTY
| Greenwood Journal.
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.
