CHARLESTON REACHING OUT
Some of the Attractions Offered to
Visitors From the Interior
Charleston, March 12.?With the j
business of war behind it, Charleston
is bestirring itself to reach out and
improve its acquaintanceship with its
neighbors in this section of South
Carolina. 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.

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'

garments have been finished for

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

your part.
Mr. McDowell is glad to state that

by the women and girls in the prospective

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.,

It has been estimated that l,2jifeJ

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,

SIXTY DOLLARS BONUS
?*. ;
To Be Paid to Soldiers Discharged
Since April 6, 1917.
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.
