The world has no place for the thin-blooded weakling. It is natural, too, that red-blooded men and women should have more friends, and they do. They are better human beings than the thin-blooded ane mics who are likely to be "grouchy" and irritable most of the time.

This Commission was empowered to erect a suitable memorial bu'lding of "architectural beauty and .appropriateness at the Capital of the State, upon grounds now owned by the State and held by the Board of Inistees of the Univeisity of South Carolina," the structure "to be designed as a me morial bunding," which wili "preserve in marble or bronze or other imperishable form the Duties of all South Carolinians, whether soldiers, sailors, nurses or other workers in the cause cf liberty, who offered their lives as the supreme sacrifice in the winning o? the World War," anv. wherein will be placed all the records, data. memoranda, and other manuscripts and documents historically portraying, describing or otherwise bearing on the South Carolinians and the organizations rrom tr.is siaxe "participating in the World War. Pursuant to the requirements of the Act, Governor Cooper appointed the South Carolina Memorial Commission, naming on it several of tht prominent women of the State. In its initial meeting the commission decided to ask the people of the State to contribute $400,000.00 to supplement the legislative appropriation of $100,0.00.00, for the-erection of the build ing, the appropriation being contingent upon the voluntary contribution of the amount decided on by the commission. Th? details of the solicitation campaign was placed under the supervision of a sub-committee, with' ex-Governor Manning as Chairman. I tuiis sub-committee decided to be gin the campaign for fund? on September 29;h, the first anniversary of the breaking of the Hindenburg Line by the Thhtieth Division, or.d have it terminate on November lrih, the initial anniversary of the signing of the armistice. Movements were soon begun for a change ir the form of the memorial to one of a utilitarian purpose, the most emphatic of these proposals beI mg for a great memorial hospital at Columbia. Consideration was given to these movements at a full meeting of the Commission, which decided to adhere to the original plan, as the Legislature issued concrete, sattutory instructions to the Commission as to form the memorial should take. To have decided otherwise would have meant that the Commission could not have gone on with the project hut iDABLE : UCES THAT Y SAVED TC 1 /-v novo-Pnl Kntroi CIIA7U VdlUCO tllC tax ciui uuj vj irchandise.

Likewise, it appeared a hopeless Task to attempt to conform to the various utilitarian projects as J proposed. At the recent convention of the ' *** ^ /l^tioiATT i-vf "Vnrr A m P r? i i j>ouin taruinitt u'vicjvii \j? <*** ?. . icari Legion, the mouthpiece of the! soldiers of the World War, the hos- ' pital idea was debated on the floor of the convention, with the result j that the non-utilitarian memorial was j endorsed by a vote of ten to one. This ; was a definite expression of -the com- : rades of those who had fallen. The divergent ideas as to the form the memorial should take, the accumulative contemporaneous campaigns fo: funds for other purposes, | unsettled domestic anil industrial j problems engaging the tnoughts of j ! the people, the 7et-up in the strain j from war conditions and other inter- j vening matters have somewhat retarded the memorial campaign. However, the Commission ftels that the peddle of South Carolina will contribute to this worthy cause when they are approached and the project has been properly presented to thera. Therefore, j the commission, meeting at Columbia, December 4, decided to continue"the campaign until June 1, 1920, that every community of the State might be given the opportunity to show i*m i appreciat>?n of those Soutn Carolinians who made the supreme sacrifice, j The Commission at this meeting likewise adopted a resolution asking Golbvernor Cooper to recommend the General Assembly the amending of the act, so that the selection!!* of the site for the memorial in the City of Columbia be left to the discretion of the commission. The Commission desires to emphasize: 1. Thai the form of memorial is mandatoiy as set out in the Joint Resolution and that the n in-utilitarian idea is the expression of the legislature. 2.
