Journeys had been planned to the Orangeburg packing house and fish hatchery on the Edisto 'River, but these were abandoned when tie downpour persisted and early in :the day. it was seen that the parade, t ;.lways a big featsrra of a Shriue see? sion, would be out of the question.

EPORT OF DIREO TOR OF WOMAN'S WORK. In bringing you this report of the Yoman's Work, it is .with feelings f greatest pleasure,, for there have een-no "slackers" among the officers f the branches of the Picken: Coln V Chapter. As you know the work as given to each. chapter from eadquarters in Atlanta. First it ame as a request; later it was made niallotment, and we had only to ac ept it or reject it. Pickens county has always done sat which she was askked to do, and s your Director I felt, I must follow he good example already set. Some mes the amount seemed very large i pproportion. to. those jt!e actually orked, but in asking braches for ssistance they have n N er refused, nd our apportionment has always eon met. I am sure the officers of he branches have met with the same enerous response from the members. The first work of our Chapter af r the organization was sknitting; nd many were the comfortable gar ents made. Then the Christmas ackages for our boys in service, ome fifty being sent. Early in Jan ary the Surgical Dressings were un ertakpn. The Director of Woman's Vork in Atlanta, Mrs. John W. antt, made arrangements for us, nd Mrs. Faulkenberg was sent as. nstructor. The' weather was most. errific but eleven interested women ersevered and received pupils' cards Irs. Hendricks qualifying as Instruc ress In Fenruary Mrs. Hendricks had large class at Easley, twenty-five king the course. I The allotments have come from eadquarters very rapidly since, and e Easley and Pickens units have ivided it equally, and have comple ad and. shipped to Atlanta 6,295 ressings. Many of them have been irect Government orders. I have just eceived a notice that the making of urgical Dressings will be discontin ed for the present, there being en ugh in the warehouses and abroad or any, emergency. 'he' chapter has done much in -oth- I r lines, in which all branches have Bired,' viz: X38 pair pajamas, 126 suits of un erwear, 100 hospital shirts, 163 heats, 70 pillow cases, 171 bath owels, 342 hand towels, .240 hand :erchiefs, 71 napkins, 5 quilts made nd sent by Mt. Carmel Branch; 426 -ospital necessities, 100 nacy kits, 2 sweaters and others sent directly o soldiers 'from Easley, 122 pair ocks, 10 mufflers, 3 helmets, 4 pair ristlets, 229 knitted - articles, 300 fugee garments, 150 property bags, 000 garments for Reclamation De artment, 220 sweaters and 242 pair ocks are now in process of being ade, 870 garments were sent in for he Belgium Relief' Commission. The, Dtal number of articles sent in by his department, amounts to 10,824 rticles with the expenditure of $1, 50. I cannot fail in this report, to xpress myr appreciation to many ho so generously contributed in re >onse to the emergency call for hios tal linen. The contribution of eggs, ec sale of which amnounted to $102. 6 and -gifts in money equaled 110.91, total $212.97, besides gifts flinens. Without this generosity, das emergency 'call could not have enu answered. . - We have recently had a visit from se Field Secretary of Woman's tork, Mrs. Cluis, of Atlanta, which 'as most helpful and inspiring. She ave us many valuable hints and took -casion to say that the work .of, the ckens Chapter had always 'come up ,"standard" which is the highest raise the Red Cross gives. 'A con-! rence will be held in Washington an early date to detei-mine just. 'hat class of work wvill lJN undertak n. In the present state of uncertain 'it is impossible to foreseq just, 'hat the Red Cross will be called up n to do. But whatever the work the 'iser heads agree uyion, I feel sure sat every loyal Red Cross member; pill do his part,- in time of peace as 'el as war. The work as Director has brought. ~e Into close contact with many 'hom, probably, it would never have; een my good fortune, otherwise, to now. It has been a great .ioy and: lost helpful and 1 want to thank* ch and every onp who has done his: art In- making our work the splendid! ecess it has been. Lot us not be weary in wvell doing, nd let us take up the work afsignedi s of whatever character, with the sal and energy of wvhich the Women fPickens county are capable. Frances 11. Mauldin.

Many/ inquiries have beern answeed, much advice has been' ought and the Home Servic9 has endeavored to keep the boys in touch' with home, and "keep the home 'fires. burningo" Specifically expressed we have sent two cables to 'France, one telegram of inquiry concerning one 'of out town boys who suffered an accident In a far away camp in Iowa. Fifteen telegrams concerning furloughs, 3 etters of inquiry about boys in France where parents have failed to ear from them since arrival, one letter asking, about a son who was wounded at Chateau Thierry, assis tance given five in getting furloughs extended, ten letters concerning in urance, ten letters concerning allot ments, four asking boys to make al lotments, five questionaires in re :ard to men discharged from gov ernment service on account of tu -erculosis and (three letters written) n regard to same. This department has undertaken o bid God-speed to all enlisted men, entertaining many, providing comh fort kits and Bibles and giving each a home-service card on leaving. Dur ing the recent epidemic of influenza the Canteen Committee rendered ex eellent service. Soups and nourishing diets for- the sick in twenty homes was supplied for more than a week it an actual cost of $14.49, besides quantities of milk and other food contributed generously by individuals end. distributed through the Red Cross. Total expenditures of the work, $159.00. This report cannot be closed without a reference to the heroic sac rifice of Private Harry A. Hansen of Green Bay, Wisconsin. This young man accompanied the body of a com rade, a victim of influenza, to -Pick ens from Camp McClellan. Arriving here, he was eager that every' cour tesy and respect be shown his friend, and although ill himself, he person ally paid the last tribute thus fulfill ing the object of his mission. The dread disease, the most malignant type of which prevailed at the camp in Alabama from which he came, laid its hold upon him and in one short week in all the beauty of his young manhood, he had made the double. sacrifice, for he died for his country as truly here as if he had fallen on Flander's field; and greater love hath no man than this, that a man "lay down his life for his friend." The Home Service was most con stant in its attention and nost grate ful letters of appreciation have been received from his relatives. These are but a few of the things accom plished by the Home Service, and may I earnestly ask, for the new Chairman of. this work your earnest co-operation, and your prompt re sponse to every call, for time is the chief factor in the accomplishment of this work. It has been said that there are only two words in the language how ever spelled-LIFE and LOVE. So when we spell RED our minds intu ively turn to Mother, home and all that makes life. When we spell CROSS we turn with hearts full of adoration to Calvary's brow where, hrough love, the great sacrifice was made for, us and nowhere in Red Cross wvork can this be more fittingly 'xemplified than in the Home Service -let us help, live and love.

In figures published recently in the News of the subscription to the United War Work fund, an error occurred in the total amount subscribed by the people of Pickens. Pickens, with a minimum quota of $11,000, subscribed to the fund $15.000, which was actually n excess of the maximum allotment.

Mr. Cooper re -plied that he would himself buy the books,. He therefore paid out $240 for the 'books and J.. M. King, president of the same company, also gave the library $25 worth of books.
