For a long time the seaport has wished to get closer to the people on whom it depends to a large extent for prosperity and growth, but the opportunity for an organized, concerted movement in this direction did not present itself before. Now the business men of the city are determined to do what they ran to make the DeoDle of lower and | Eastern South Carolina feel that ( Charleston / is their town just as thoroughly as it is the town of those who live within its limits. The move to make Charleston better known to its neighbors begins in j connection with? plans for a spring opening to be# held by the Retail, Merchants' Association of the Char-! leston Chamber of Commerce, March 20 and 21, to which people in niegh-boring towns and counties are invited. This will be in the nature of a fashion festival in which nearly all the retail concerns of any importance will take part, showing the newspring goods in the most attractive wjfys and competing for prices- for the best decorated windows, the best advertisements, etc. The spring opening will be the first showing of the new season's goods and it is planned to make it a much larger and. more interesting event than the semi-an-1 nual fashion show which it succeeds.; Buyers are now in New York and other markets to take advantage of the last-minute productions of spring. Anothei* inducement to people in nearby towns to visit Charleston at this season is found in the fact that the world-famous Magnolia Gardens will be in full bloom from about the middle of March to the middle of April. Artists and lovers of beauty come from literally all parts of the i world on purpose to see these wonderful masses of azaleas, japonicas, and other beautiful flowers' and shrubbery. Thomas Nelson Page, the | famous Southern writer, now ambassador to Italy, said he thought them the most beautiful gardens he.1 had ever seen. On the industrial and military sides, Charleston now presents special interest t^ South Carolina visit- j ors. For jone thing, it is expected that the Thirtieth Division will be sent back through this port at an early date. The many military and naval establishments here are running in full swing. The great port terminals constructed by the government "at a cost of $20,000,000 are beginning to do business. The Stand-, ard Oil Company has purchased a large tract of land on the waterfront for building a Iarge*oiI refinery that, may mean a good deal to people in the interior of the State. Other in- j dustrial developments are going for-; ward rapidly. There is talk of build-; ing a large new hotel, scores of j dwellings are rising everywhere to j care for the increased population,; and several modern apartment houses j hn hnilf this vear. Folk in 1 neighboring counties who have not visited Charleston some time will probably find a good many newj things of interest if they come here soon. ? i er officer except as herein provided shall be allowed to sell or handle any hunter's licenses or receive any funds ; therefor or in connection therewith.1 Sec. 11. All non-residents of this j State, before fishing for game or other fish in any manner in the in-! land streams or waters of this State, i shall first procure r.on-residents fish-j license, the fee for which shall be' ?3.25.

Some of these garments have been finished for quite a while, but the shipment has been delayed. Mrs. T. E. Arrowsmith, chairman of woman's work, has accepted an order for 100 pinafores for refugee children to make, and all women ! who are able to sew are requested to [assist in making them. The material is on the way and will probably be ! here by next week. Be ready to do your part. Mr. McDowell is glad to state that | much interest is Demg manuesiea j by the women and girls in the prospective home nursing course sooiy to be given here by the Red Cross | Chapter. Many are signing the pledge cards, and others are talking it over j and hoping that they may be able to join. I Third Old Clothing Drive The need for clothing in the libcrjated countries of Europe, includingj Northern France, 'Belgium, Italy' Rumania, Serbia, Greece, Montenegro, Palestine, Albania and others, which in many instances is more acute even than the need for food, will be met in a lafge measure by j the American Red Cross during the week of March 24th to 31st inclusive. , Every kind of garment for all ages I and sexes is urgently needed, acI cording to the recommendation of ' the Red Cross European Commission., I T* nia/tn licVif warm I ... a , - o ( canton flannel and other hinds of i cloth from which to make garments1 for new born babies, ticking, sheet-! ing, blankets,, woolen goods of any kind and shoes of any size are askedj for.

Since the clothes j I wiy.J^ubject to the hardest kind j or pply garments of Strong! and f^able material shoulc} be giv- J en; and while good garments will be j j welcome it is not necessary that they I be in perfect condition. Many thous-! and destitute women in the formerly [ ; Occupied territory are glad. W earn j a small livelihood repairing gift, ; clothing and adapting it to the nreedfe, of their neighbors. It has been estimated that l,2jifeJ 000 people in Belgium and Frairoe1 ...? alone were driven from tncir hobub by the German invasion, and the textile mills have been generally destroyed in the region to which they are returning it is practically impossible to purchase clothing or material even if the refugees had plenty of money. Red Cross chapters are > being asked not to contribute useless and flimsy articles on account of the expense of shipping and trouble ! of sorting. Both the motor corps and the junior members will be used to excellent advantage in making the collection. Mrs. T. E. Arrowsmith has been appointed chairman of the commit- j tee to collect, pack and ship the; clothing donated in Williamsburg County. She in turn will appoint assistants in each Red Cross auxiliary in the county, whose duty it will be to canvass their district and bring, or send all material ttyis collected to Mrs. Arrowsmith at Red Cross head-; quarters in the Library building. These rooms will be kept open for this purpose every morning during the week March 24-31, from ten to V/.lnolf Roaidonts of KinfifS- !

Section 1406 of the Revenue Act approved February 24, 1919 authoi^izes the payment of a bonus of $60 to officers, soldiers, field cldMf and rtiifcM nf the armv UDon honorable separation from active service by discharge, resignation or otherwise. This bonus is not payable to the heirs or representatives of any deceased soldier. -Those who are discharged hereafter will receive this bonus on the same roll or voucher upon which th?y are paid their final pay. Those who have been discharged and have received their final pay without the- $60 bonus should write a lteer to the zone finance officer, Lernon building, Washing* ton, D. C., stating their service since April 6, 1917, the date of last discharge and their present address to which they desire their bonus checks to be sent and enclosing with this letter their discharge certificate or military order for discharge and both, if both were issued. Upon the receipt by the zone fitnance office, Washington, D. C., of this information and the soldier's discharge certificate, this .officer will cause checks to be drawn and mailed to the claimants in the order in which their claims were received by him. The discharge certificate will be returned to the soldier with the check. It is estimated that at least one million and a quarter persons have been discharged from the service who are entitled to the benefits of this Act and while payments will be made as expeditiously as practicable, it will manifestly take considerable time to write and mail this maqy checks. o STATE WILL BORROW MONEY" Large Amount Needed by Different Departments Until Taxes Are Collected j Governor Cooper, S.
