CHAPEL FAVORED BY LEGION
Memorial to State's Dead Strongly
Indorsed by Veterans
Columbia, Nov. 12.?Following a
t somewhat extended debate the initial
annual convention of the American
Legion of South Carolina which met
in the hall of the House of Representatives,
by an almost unanimous vote I
rejected a resolution, introduced by
J. Hertz Brown, a delegate from
Spartunburg, providing for a memorial
hospital, commemorative to those
South Carolinians in the service of
the nation who made the supreme
sacrifice in the world war, instead of
the memorial chapel provided by an,
act of the General Assembly.
Subseauentlv another resolution |
endorsing a non-utilitarian building'
or monument a* a fitting memorial
was adopted by the convention.
The hospital resolution asked the
General Assembly to make the necea- i
sary amendment in the existing law,
so that the utilitarian building instead
of the memorial chapel be built. The
resolution said that the building, if
the General Assembly was favorably
disposed toward the idea "shall be a
great memorial hospital where suffer- {
ing may be relieved, disease eradi-;
cated and the citizens of this State j
made more fit for her service."
Act of General Assembly?The last
session of the General Assembly passed
the act providing for the erection
of the memorial chapel on the ground
owned by the University of South ;
Carolina. The measure carried an ap- j
propriation of $100,000 with the stipulation
that it was to be augmented
by public subscription from among
the citizens of the State. Itis a created
commission, of which Governor
Cooper is chairman, and ex-Governor
Manning, vice-chairman, to carry on 1
the campaign and provide for the ;
? '??1 TKo mmmicsinn decided !
liicimiiiai. iiiv w*ii??4.ww.v.. ?
that the people of the State would I
be asked to contribute $400,000.
Alraost from the first meeting of:
the commission, opposition to the
idea of non-utilitarian building was
expressed. A campaign bolstered by
a deal of publicity, has been waged
bringing to the fore the hospital idea,
the underlying plea being that the
ex-soldiers wanted something which'
would be of service jnstead of orna- J
ments, by which their fallen comrades i
would remembered. A petition was i
^Tifcsented to the memorial commission 1
asking for consideration of the hospital
idea, but the commission took
the positiono that the Legislature had
spoken and it was mandator}* upon
it under the act to go on with the
original project for a memorial shapel.
So the solicitation for funds was
commenced on September 29th.
Indifference Explained?The campaign
for subscriptions "has met with
indifFerent success since the "drive"
began, thought principally to be due
to the propaganda in favor of the
hospital project. However, the friends
of the present memorial chapel idea
are now confident that the solicitation
for funds will take on an impetus as
the voice of the South Carolina
world war veterans, the American
Legion, they contend, has spoken for
it and has demonstrated what the
wishes of the ex-soldiers are.
