s Thursday, June 19, 1930 McCORMICR MESSENGER, McCORMICR, South CmroTluu. , ^»^r p age NumEef TE«| Would Raise ^10,000 For The Tillman Memorial Fund COUNTY CHAIRMEN RE-AP- POINTED BY THE GOVERNOR COLUMBIA, June 18.—Decision to speed up in every possible way the campain to raise, by public subscription, ten thousand dollars to match a like amount appropri ated by the 1930 Legislature to erect on the State House Grounds a' monument to the Late Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman was reached at a meeting of the Till man Memorial Commission hrald in the Governor’s office Friday, June 6th. The meeting was the first held by the commission since passage of an act by the recent general as sembly authorizing such a com mission and making by act of the Legislature Governor Richards the Chairman of the Commission with power vested in him to appoint five other members. There had been, however, previous to the en actment of this legislation gathei- ings in the Governor’s office of these who feel that Senator Till man should be honored with a suitable monument on the State House Grounds, and at these meet ings plans for the raising of the funds were discussed and a tenta tive organization was set up with a chairman in each county but the session last week was the first held under authority of the act. It was the sense of the oommis- sicn that efforts should be made to speed up the campaign to raise the required amount to match the appropriation that has been made and the secretary was instructed to write the county chairmen, re questing that special efforts be put forth at once to complete the quota of $300.00 asked of each county as a minimum and that as much as possible be raised beyond this amount to take care of the additional amount required and of any county that might not raise the minimum quota. Several coun ties have already sent to the state treasurer of the commission their quota and work is continuing in these counties. The commission is leaving to each county chairman the plan of campaign and the sel ection of co-workers with the re quest, however, that he furnish to his local or county newspaper the names of his county commit- j tee as well as workers and com- j mittees in each community and furnish the papers information that will keep the public informed of tiie progress of the campaign so that ic can be completed as soon as possible and the order placed for the monument. The secretary was instructed to get in touch with sculptors with a view of get ting designs and prides in order that the monument be erected and ready for unveiling on the opening day of the next General Assembly. In addition to Governor Rich ards, who is chairman, the mem bers of the Tillman Memorial Com mission are General Wylie Jones and Fred D. Marshall, Columbia; Senator R. M. Jefferies, Waiter- boro; Senator T. B. Greneker, Edgefield: and James M. Baker Lowndesville. All were present at the fiset meeting of the com mission except Senator Greneker and Mr. Baker who were unavoid ably prevented from attending. At the meeting, General Jones, was elected treasurer and J. Austin Latimer, secretary to Governor Richards, was elected secretary of the commission. The secretary was instructed to write to the Presidents of Win- COST LOT OF MONEY s- 4- V s. \ \ A X the Prices on CAVALIERS—and see! D ON’T let anyone tell you that good tires must be high priced!

Big Cow Best A study of the Bureau of Dairy Industry, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, or nearly 220,- 000 yearly records of cows in dairy herd improvement associations showed that within the breed the heavier cows generally excelled the lighter cows of the same age in production and income over cost of feed.
