The first meeting of the Francis
, 1 Marion Bamberg chapter, U. D. C., j
since the summer vacation, was held .
" with Mrs. J. R. Owens and Mrs. C. J.
S. Brooker Wednesday afternoon.
Mrs. Owens, the newly elected president,
presided and so beautifully did*
she express herself in her greetings
to the chapter, that it was decided
that this paper should be published. 1
It is hoped that every member of the 1
p: chapter will read this address.
J* v Much business wad disposed of,
P quite an interesting discussion Demg
-* held as to whether the chapter
iishould continue the two scholarships
st Carlisle school or should place
the amount'so used each year towards
the purchasing of historical
. works for the use of historian. The
decision for continuance of t;he
scholarships won by a close ballo/t.
It was also decided, on recommendation
of Mrs. Thos. Black, chairman
of programme committee, that
\ a year book should be printed.
Delegates were chosen to the genV
erkl convention at Dallas, Texas, alIflo
to the State convention at Union.
.J? A paper was read by Miss Mary '
Iivingston on some personal experiences
of Mrs. Owens during the War 1
Between the Sections. Such reminiscences
being valuable historically, it
was decided to publish this also.
After the reading of a poem by ]
Mrs. Harry Murphy and a vocal solo .
by Mrs. H. N. Folk, nectar and wa- j
fers were served. (
The following is the address of the president,
Mrs. Owens: 3

representing our Southern Con fed- ]
eracy and the points of the star are i
a lesson and study to us, live, love, (
i, pray, think and dare. Love each
other and everybody, pray that we <
may love our enemies, think beauti
ful thoughts of each other, dare to
do justice to future generations in
teaching the true facts 3s to why our
Southern chapters were formed, keeping
all bitterness out of our hearts.
Now, I can do nothing alone. The
success of any organization is co- (
operation; in unity there is strength.
I will rely on each and every mem- (
ber to do their whole duty. The
world proves daily that what it con- (
siders the biggest and best results
are produced by the active principle (
of cooperation. The results are many
times greater and so much more satis- J
factory than when each unit works '
j
alone. It is only necessary for us to '
think and open our eyes in order to
see this mighty fundamental princi- *
pie 'we call cooperation actively at (
work, meeting the needs or supposed i
needs of both men and women, in (
every part of the world, and in every
community of our country and from
every standpoint in life. Now let me

our chapter work more than ever.
Your president only represents one,
no more than each one of you represents,
and the same is expected of you <
as from me. Let us try to increase ]
our membership, each being a com- <
mittee of one to increase our mem- I
bership. Have an opinion Of your i
own and express it in the chapter, <
even if it is entirely different\from i
ethers. Let's have your views.i

The Herald is in receipt of an "S.

and needed badly. The following
are excerpts taken from the letter:

"The fund of four years ago represented
an aggregate of 89,854 individual
contributions. It was the
largest number of persons, by more
than fifty thousand; that had ever
contributed to any political campaign.
"It was the people's money, not the
wealth of the few, that paid the expenses
of Mr. Wilson's election.
"As in 1912, we must fight secret
millions with above-board dollars."
The Herald will gladly receive and
acknowledge contributions to the
Wilson campaign fund, and forward
same to the proper authorities.

1 from eight to ten pounds up to?w<
i about as large as they grow, whj
i ever that is. All told, Mr. Smi
s vouches, the "punkins" harvest
