Harris, chairman of the local committee. There were about 50 men present and 40 of these made subscriptions to the amount of $23,500 or almost one-half of the amount allotted to this territory. Those interested in the campaign are greatly indebted to a committee from Rock Hill sent here by the county chairman, Ira B. Dunlap, of Rock Hill, at the request of Mr. Harris, all of whom made strong and telling arguments in favor of the purchase of these stamps. The first speaker was J. Claude t_;autnen who outlined the plan of campaign as adopted in Rock Hill and he was followed by Chas. L. Cobb who made some very practical suggestions regarding the adoption of the plan in Fort Mill. Dr. J. B. Johnson made a strong and earnest appeal to the patriotic spirit in this community an& showed in an earnest and effective manner the necessity for liberal contributions from every one, stating that this can be done without involving a real sacrifice upon anybody. He was followed by V. B. Blankenship, mayor of Rock Hill, who made an apt application of some of the remarks of the preceding speakers. A general discussion of ways and means was entered into with enlightening remarks by Dr. J. I .ee Sornt f W R ArHrou , t* 411UIVJ UIIU Rev. W. S. Goodwin, and when the chairman called for subscriptions for the limit of $1000 each the following gentlemen responded: Dr. J. Lee Spratt, First National Bank. Perpetual B. & L. Assn., Geo.

Carothers, Dr. J. B. Elliott, W. G. Griffin, C. W. Eason, B. E. Patterson, A. B. Sheppard, John Blunkenship, J. T. Garrison and D. P. Brown. The subscribers in the $250 club were George McKenzie, M.

The organization for a houseto-house canvas was then effected with the appointment of Geo. Fish in charge of the cotton mill solicitation and C. S. Link in charge of the town proper. A number of solicitors will be selected in order that the burden may not fall heavily on anyone and the drive will be pushed until the allotment is secured. At an election held in Rock Hill last Tuesday on the question of adopting compulsory education, there was only one vote in opposition.

Miss Crook's subject was "Winnine tho War With T.ihortv Bonds." The late T. D. Faulkner left in his w ill his valuable watch to be given to his eldest granddaughter at the conclusion of her high school course and the presentation was made in a most happy manner by Dr. J. Lee Spratt to Miss Beatrice Parks. Twenty-two pupils of the graded school received the annual award by the trustees of 25 cents each for regular attendance, nine of whom were perfect in their attendance and thirteen tardy. Owing to the fact that the general averages had not been worked out up to the evening of the closing exercises, the annual award by Kanawha chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, to the pupil making the highest general average was postponed, and will be delivered as soon as the successful pupil can be determined.
