The famous and widely read nove

The characters of the picture arc
those hardy mountaineers of easter
Kentucky who, from time immemor

of the hardy pioneers who blazed r
trail from the shores of Virginir

treacherous. savage and settled tlu
"Blue Gra!s State".' They made I
possible for an empire to he founder
that gives to us and our children tha
follow, a land that knows no counter
part for riches.
It is of such kind of men and wo
men that "When hhearcat WVent iDry,'

MEMORIAL CAMPAIGN
TO BE PUSHED
Central Committee at Columbia Con
tident that the Required Sum wil1
be Raised.
Columbia, Jan. 5.--Following a con
feronce with former Governor Richard
T. Manning, of Sumter, vice chairman
of the South Carolina Memorial Com
mission who was in Columbia, Henry
W. Fair of this city, accepted the
chairmanship of the Richland County
Memorial Committee.
Mr. Fair said that he would build
u; a thorough and ellicient corps of
workers for the memorial drive in Co
lumbia and Richland county, and was
sure that the allotment of $60,000
would be quickly subscribed. 11e
hopes to have the quota in hand by
the end of the month. believing that
the people vill liberaly subscribe to
the erection of the building in com
memoration of those South Carolin
lans who foug;ht and fall in the World
War if they are only approached and
have the 'roject expla'ned to them.
The headquarters of the memorial
commission here say: that very en
couraging reports are being received
from the county chairmen during the
past few weeks, and that the, indica
tions are Ihat the camnaign for a fund
of $400,000 will be a successi with a
little more time alloted to a few of
the counties. A number of-.counties
are contentplating putting on cam
paigns this niontlh and -pushing
through their riuotas in an intensive
drive.
Mr. Manning. after reading the re
ports from the various counties and
having conference with Governor
Cooper, Chairman of the Commission,
is very mitch encoutraged with the t
outlook. After a few weeks when he
can take time frot pressing personal t(
busines;, the ex-Governor intends to 0
give a great deal of his efforts and en
ergy to the campaign. it is probable 14
that he will go into the various coun- o
lies and ass't the chairmen there in 1
their efforts.
NU'fAlt CONTROL
STAYS FOl 1920
President Wilson Signs the McNary
Measure. Government Not Likely
to Purehatse Cuban Sugar.
'Washington, 'Tan. 1, .- President
Wilson ha. signed the .icNary bill
centiming the :United .tates sugar
equalization hoard through 1920. It
was announced today at the white
house that his signature had been
attached before midnight last night.
Secretary Tumuulty, in making the
announeement, isse(I this state
ment.:
"The president h'as signed the
sugar control bill. The. bill confers
discretion on the president in the
matter of purchasing sugar from
Cuba. It is doubtful whether it will
be practical or wise for the presi
dent to 'xercise th power con
ferred. so far as the per chase and
distribution of sugar are concerned."
Some of the Cuban sugar has al
eandy been imurehase-l and there is
no central control over sugaru in
Cubah~, its there was last year, anid it
might t hercefore be impossible for
the government now to step in atnd
purchase thie stugar without increas
lng the plrice to the consumer. The
bill, however, continues the l icens
ing -power also and this ipower may
be usedi to assist in controlling the
Profiteering among distribiutors.
