"Pep" and the ideal of service were
thr keynotes of the get-to-gether meet
ing of the Thos. D. Lake, Jr., 'Postv
American Legion, held in the legion
hall Monday evening for the purpose
primarily of organizing a woman's
auxiliary to the tpost. Maj. G. Heyward
lahon, Jr., of Greenville, and MaJ.
E1lenry C. Tillman, of Greenwood, were
the honor guests of the evening and
delivered eloquent addresses urging
the .members -of the post to a higher
ideal of service to their disabled com
rades land to their country. Short ad
dresses were also made by Capt. "Pete"
H1udgens, a native of this county but
now a resident of Greenville, and Licut.
Col. J. AlcC. Barksdale, of this city. P.
D.' fluff, 10s1q., of this city, responded
to -the addresses of the visitors and
thanked them for their uttendance, at
the same time thanking the women
present for their interest In the post
and paying a'pretty tribute to the sac
rilfices made b'y the women in the war.
Folloqwng the addresses, an elegant
luncleon vas served by the ladies of
the U4 astern Star after which entangle
ments were removed and an old-time
square d'ance was joined in by the
members of the 'post, their lady friends
and seVeral guests. The dancing was
kept up until a late hour of the night,
the occasion 'being hugely enjoyed by
everyone present.
Major Mhbn, in opening his re
marlis,- referred feelingly to his asso
clatjons with CLaurens men of his bat
'talioti af the 118th Infantry, saying,
iwithout disparagement to other organ
izations of the army, that a finer bat
talioi of troops never fought in an
army. Tur-ning to a discussion of an
organization of a woman's auxiliary to
the post, he said that woman's inter
est and sympathy 4n -the ppst was the
prime requisite for its success. "If a
lost is ever about to die," -he said, "the
first thing to do is to enlist the inter
est of the women and its future is
saved." The women have many things
they can do, he said. - Among others
they can help locate disabled ex-service
men and minister to. them only as wo
men can do. They can do as women

but bootsing up their spirits and let

made.
To the members of the post Itself,
Major &Mahon held uip an ideal of ser
vice as the goal of every legion man.
Care for the disabled ex-service men,
he spoke of as the post's first duty.
See to it -that every disabled man has

Announcement, was madie from Wash

mow making a tour of the United
States, who had been previously sched
[led to make stops in IGreenville and
spartanburg, had been forced to change
uis itinerary and that the only stop
nade in this tsate would he at Green
wood onl the afternoon of Friday, Dc
cember 9. The train will arrive in
ireenwood at live o'clock in the af
Lernoon and remain for half an hour.
Governor Cooper and his staff, besides
ther notables, will be present to ex
Lend a welcome and a large number of
people from all over the state are also
xpected to be present.
The Index-Journal carried the fol
lowing news story as to preparations
ror the visit Monday:
Marshal Foch is touiring the United
States as the guest of the Amerlean
begion. He cane to America as the
invited guest of the 'Legion and he is
low travelling on a special train
turnished by the American Legion and
.he head of the American 'Leglon is
naking the trill with hii as the of
icial host of the Legion.
When the great Marshal comes to
areenwood, as it seems certain now
uc will, lie will be first the guest of the
ocal Post of the American Legion, and
the local Post will be resiponsible to
Lie State iPost as the Sato Post Is to
,he National organization for the pro
)er reception of the Generalissimo of
ie Allied forces in the World War.
The ofmlcers of the Post -nd mem
)ers ask the aid and assistance of all
rood citizens In the great. task of show
ng the )roI)er respect and welcome
o the Marshal .but it must be under
itood that officially 'he Is the guest of
he Americn Legion.
'Post 'Commander Ernest 'Rosenberg,
he executive committee of the local
Post, Mayor Hlartzog, -President R. B.
Durry, of the Chamber of Commerce,
.nd others held a preliminary confer
ance this morning to agree upon a re
prt to tht meeting to :be held tonight
at half past seven o'clock in the Com
munity Hnull.
Much work was done in the way of
clearing the 'ground at this prelimi
nary conference this morning and the
meeting tonight will have something
tangible up before it.
(It was decided this morning that to
night's meeting would not be limited
to' the names published Sunday morn
ing as 'at~ntative central committoe but
that all members of the American Le
gion here, city oflcials, heads of dif
ferent organizations in town and all
patriotic citizens are invited to come
to the meeting tonight at the Commun
ity Hall.
State Legion officials are already in
touch with the local Legion ofiials
and there will be an observance here
that day entirely worthy of the occa
sion and the 'Legionaires in charge.
At the preliminary-conference it was
agreed that the day should 'be one
whole day of enter'tainment anid not
confine it to the brief half hour of the
Marshal's stay. A college football
mntch wvas suggested, iMerchants
should offer special inducements that
day, it 'was said, and there will be
martial music all the day long.
The matter of selling lunches, it was
agreed, should be turned over to the
Red Cross. The ladies of the Red
Cross wil,1be asked to take charge
and place booths in strategic points
and 'be prepared to servo food and
drink, of the tea, coffee, milk, and
chocolate variety, to the throng which
is certain to 'ho the perdominating fea
ture until the Marshal arrives,
Of course the town will be decorat
ed. The Star Spangled Banner and the
'French trn-color will be used lavishly
and it is intended to make Greenwood
that day a pleasing sight and one long
to 'be remembered,
