His reasons are set forth in the following letter to Governor Manning. His Excellency, Richard I. Manning, Governor of South Carolina, Columbia, South Carolina. Dear Governor: In di+ primary of this summer I was nominated by the voters of this count to the office of coroner, and in the general election held in November, I was elected to fill the office of coro ner for this county. I have bought a farm and decided to live on this farm which is-not properly located for the office of coroner and do not want to hold any public office, unless I am in position to give to the people who electd, me good service. I therefore beg io h'abd: you my resignation and beg that you appoint to fill this place Mr. Oscar Durham, Pickens, S. C., Route 2. Mr. Durham lost his left arm in an accident and has a family to support. He is well qualifidd to fill this office and I'think would give the people good service. Yours very truly, S. E. Mauldin PICKENS CHAPTER RED CROSS NOTES "I summon you to the comradeship." -Woodrow Wilson. The people of the world know what the American Red Cross has done in the past for humanity. We won't dwell on that but pass immediately to the future. To meet the demands of to-day and the coming year the Red Cross is about to launch undertakings vast in scone and holy in purpose. Our obligations to our millions of soldiers in this country and France must be met. Our allies must be cheered and helped to rebuild devastated countries. To this end the Red Cross has a great Membership Drive on for December 16-23. So great is our faith in the uni versality of the Red Cross spirit that the aim for December is universal membership. It is hoped that during this week that the Red Cross will en roll every American in the land. We believe that the American people want to express their moral and spirital sup port to the victorious armies in the form of the Red Cross. The National Tuberculosis Associa tion. which has conducted an annual sale of the Red Cross Christmas Seals for many years past has determined to abandon the Christmas Seal Campaign for this year and to unite in the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. To insure support for this work, the war Council of the Red Cross has appropriated $2,500O,000 for Tuberculosis wyork in 1919. Ten seals will be awarded those joining the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call. ft. T. Hallum of Pickens is county Chairman for this work. He has di vided up the territory of Pickens chap ter by school districts. *Each teacher in the territory of the chapter is re questedl to act as canvassing an~d en rolling -members under the directions of the chairman of their local Red Cross unib.
