American Legion Puts
on Drive for Member$
The I<er?>y JMk I*os.t, American
D'gion, of this city will join in the
nation wide campaign fur new members
which began on November 1 and
will last through Armistice Day, NovII.
Below is found a pr<K'lamation
by Mayor K. M. Kenm-dy, .Jr., and
also a short history of the work and
accomplishments of the American
legion since its. organization:
Pledged to a program of usefulness
and service to the community, state
and nation, The American Legion today
enjoys the full confidence of the
American pu'blic. Ever since it has
boon organized the Legion has exerted
its best eflforts in the behalf of
good citizenship and in the building
cfor a greater and better America.
The natum's defenders will always
be honored for the glorious service
they gave in wat, but their desire to
also ser\*e in peace must command
our deepost respect and admiration.
The public has direct interest in
the Legion because of the worthy activities
it carries on each' year. The
Ivegioh has come tO~be recognized as
a great stabilizing influence in American
life with some 10,000 posts,
embracing a membership of nearly
1)00,000 veterans of the World war,
standing ready to serve their com-,
xnunities in whatever capacity they
Truly: The Legion's community service
work is well known. Every year
the posts throughout the United.
Suites carry on scores of different
types of community welfare and civic
betterment projects.
The I region's foremost work is car- (
ing for those who were maimed and.
disabled by their service in the war. i
Justice does not always flow auto- I
!
mutually for the men who suffered
war?incurred disabililies and the big
U\,sk of the Legion has been to see
that they receive all the compensation
to which they aye justly on!
titled and adequate hospital care and
j treatment. The Ix'gion has likewise
, extended a helping hand to another
class of war sufferers, the widows
and orphan children of those who
fought and died for their country.
The people of this city are duly
appreciative of the splendid endeavors
of the American Legion, and to
legionnaires they extend every encouragement
to broaden and further
expend their work in the future.
Since the achievements of the Legion
can be measured only in terms of
its membership strength, it is highly
desirable that the public should cooperate
with the Legion in its attempt
to enroll every eligible World
war Veterani into the ranks of Legion
service.
Now, therefore, I, R. M. Kennedy,
Jr., Mayor of the -City of Camden,
South Carolina, do hereby proclaim
the week beginning November 4 a*d
ending on Armistice Day, November
11, as American Legion Week, during
which time an intensive drive will
Ik' made to enroll 1 It'll Ix'gion mem- .
hers. I particularly ask that all citizens
cooperate with the Legion in
its effort to build a better and stronger
organization for 1931 by urging t
eligible veterans to take out Ixigion j
membership during this campaign. |
In witness whereof. I have here-j;
unto set my hand and caused the ,
seal of the City of Camden to be J
affixed. l>one in the City of Camden
this 4th day of November, in the
year of our Lord, One Thousand Nine .
Hundred and Thirty.

Mayor of Camden, 5. C.
THE AMERICAN LEGION
A Rrief History of Its Organization,
and Accomplishments
The year 1930 will be long romem- ^
be red in American Ixxgion history, j
Not only did the Ix>gioi> attain nearly |
every objective it had set for the
year but it also broke, for the first'
time, all former records for national
niemlx-rship. At the close of the
Legion year more than 881,000 veteran*
were enrolled, far surpassing

or objectives realized during the
j year. The Junior baseball program
was outstanding with upwards of
PHI.000 boys participating. A multitude
of worthy activities wero successfully
sponsored by the legion's
10,000 posts during the year with
i Americanism and community service
work predominating.
The l/egion had its hi-th at a great
caucus of representatives of the A.
K. F.. held in Paris. France, March
lo and 16. 1919. Further organi*at;on
steps were complete<i at a greater
caucus held in St. Ix>uis the following
May ami a national charter
was granted by Congress September
16, 1919. The Ixtgion was chiefly en
I
gaged in perfecting its organization
in 11)11* an<l 11)20. It performed a
great service the following year during
the period of industrial depression
by finding employment for more
than 1,000,000 veterans.
In 1022 the Legion started its first
big effort to aid disabled veterans
which resulted in the creation of tho
United States Veterans'' Bureau.
During this endeavor the legion organized
its national rehabilitation
service. In 1923 and 1924 the Legion
was absorbed in the movement^
for some form of adjusted compensation
which was finally brought to a
successful conclusion. A $6,000,000
endowment fund was raised in 1925,
the income from which has sii>ce been
used for the aid: and care of orphans
and in rehabilitation work. In 1926
the I-iegion cond'ucted an intensive
membership effort \vhich resulted in
an increase of 80,000 members over
the preceding year.
The year 1927 witnessed the successful
Legion pilgrimage to France
and the inauguration of a nationwide
community service program.
The year 1928 saw the first national
success of the Legion's Junior basehall
program which was started in
192G. The organization of post emergency
relief units, a national safety
campaign and a campaign to aid in
the development and .promotion of
aviation were among the preferred
activities for 1929. Enactment- of
the Cruiser Bill that year was hailed
as a legislative victory for the Legion.
Preparedness and national defense
measures have been supported
by the I/e>gion from year to year audi
various Americanism activities have
been sponsored in behalf of the Legion's
movement to promote good citizenship.
The work of the Legion
embraces a wide variety of useful
endeavors.

Bishopville Has Fire
Bishopville, Nov. 2.?The large twostory
residence of M. B. McCutchen
on South Church street was badly
gutted by fire this afternoon at 4
o'clock. The fire apparently originated
in the attic under the roof and
supposedly made considerable headway
before being discovered. Tho
roof being of metal, it was rather
a stubborn fire to fight, and it was
-? me time before water could be
phued <01 the blaze.
Mi. M i ut ben collapsed from over-e\i
rt n the second story and
had : be ;.: .:i_'ht down a fire-ladder,
ntft :ng able to use the stairway on
acvuat ot the fire Fortunately,
mo-: of toe furnishings were re*
mo\ e>:. ^ome from the upper floors
be;:.w lamaged from rough handling.
T' - house was known as t.he Aman
use and was one of the best
bu.it houses at Bishopville. Some
insurance was carried on both the
hou-e and furniture, it is understood.
Mr McCutchen will use the Jennings
house, a few doors away on the same
.street, which is now vacant.
I
l>\ samite was used today in an
eftort to locate the body of David

in the riser at Florence Saturday
