VOL. 38.

COLLETON COUNTY EXCEEDED

$3,653.45 RAISED
DURING WEEK
Colleton’s Citizen* Re*|*ond Will
ingly nod Liberally to tbe
Nation’s Call.
The Anal results for the campaign
to raise Colleton’s assessment for
the Red Cross War Fund, show that
this county, exceeded its assessment
$663.45, showing a total raised dur
ing the week’s canvass of $3,653.45,
Of this amount $2,888.20 is in
cash and $765.25 in pledges.
The results of this campaign was
a surprise to the people of the
county. It was one of the most
liberal responses ever given a call
to the people of ■•the county, and ev
eryone feels good over the results.
Too much .credit cannot he given to
the workers Yvlio gave so liberally
of their time and energies to this
work. The campaign was well or
ganized ami the results speak for
themselves. With noMargi* towns
to draw from, the results achieved
at this season of the year when far
mer* are so busy and usually hard
pressed financially, are very grati
fying. -Jt is thought the agitation
of this matter following so closely
upon the campaign for the oale of
liberty bonds, will have the result
of bringing rome to the people the
reality of the war as nothing else
of bringing home to the people the
The .original plan of the cam
paign was carried out. Each night
there was a meeting of the workers
at the Civic league club rooms,
where the work of the day was re
ported and discussed, and where
plans for the next day’s work were
mapped out. At these meetings
the social side was emphasized and
they were among the pleasant fea-
turs of each day. Light refresh
ments were served, and a good time
had. Many experiences were gained
at these meetings which will be
valuable in future campaigns.
Workers were discovered, -and un
selfish desire to serve pervaded the
atmosphere of these meetings and
the work of the .campaign. Not
only did the workers in the town
show enthusiasm and devotion to
thf* purposes of the campaign, but
those outside did faithful service.
The largest single subscription
was that of the Colleton Cypress
Company, which company gave
*150. This was followed by the
Colleton Citizens Who

Only two of the captains appoint-1
ed did not make any reports. H. A.)
Crosby, of Hudson’s Mill and W. W. I
Martin, of Tabor. Mr. Crosby did ]
not' do anything because he was not
in sympathy with the call, and did
not report this fact to the county
chairman in time for another ap
pointment to be made in that com
munity. - Mr. Martin was handicap
ped. and did not get to do any work.
In Walterboro all the workers
did well. Special mention should
be given the ladies who served the
refreshments. Mrs. F. P. Wich-
man and Mrs. I. M. Fishburne not
only worked at this, but they secur
ed nnmerous donations for the fund.
Among those assisting them in fur
nishing the refreshments were
Misses Chase Black, Mabel and Eli
zabeth Wichman, Thomassine Wit-

Saturday over booths at the court
house square. Klein’s eorner and

ice cream and incidentally relieved
those who passed of “Red Cross

The Colonial Theatre kindly gave
a benefit performance Saturday
night, which petted the fund $11.40.

handled his territory practically
alone, did as good work as anyone,
although in every community were
developed some splendid workers.
Tom Boynton, of Hendersonville,
organized a good team, and their
results speak fop the efforts made.
E. T. Hiers, as captain of the Round

had to carry the mail every day, but
he made a splendid showing for his

was a large one. and attracted sev

Quite a bit of excitement was
caused yesterday at Smoaks when
(’oroner Dopson, acting upon re
quests from citizen^ of the- commun
ity, held an inquest for the purpose
of determining the (caus^ of the
death of Mrs. Malony Carter, who
died the night of June !». and was
buried at Smoaks cemetery Sunday
following her death. After hearing
testimony, it was decided to ex
hume the body and have an au- .

done, and Dr. Eugene Graham, of
Ruffin, and Dr., J. I>. Connor, of
Smoaks. made a thorough examina
tion and testified that the deceased
came to her death from natural
causes, they .being unable to find
any marks of violence.
The rumors which led to t’-e in
quest were' that Mr. Carter had
mistreated his wife, and that sh«
was killed by him, it being alleged
that her neck was broken, this be
ing surmised by the women of the
community who had served at her
death. In preparing, the . body for
