Statement from Dick Anderson Chap? ter Showing Nec*l> of The Organiza? tion. Dick Anderson Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy an? nounced through these columns this week that the performances at the Reg ?and the Lyric Tuesday. July 0, | would he a benefit for the chapter! that is, that the Chapter WOUld re? ceive a certain percentage on all the tickets sold through its efforts. It may occur |s the public to ask why does such an organization need funds bevond the $l.t?o dues paid annually by each membei. so here are a few of tlie calls the chapter has for mon? ey: [ Education Is today getting to be the biggest work of the XT. D. C. Through its efforts III descendants of Confederate veterans, otherwise un? able to receive an education, attend? ed college last year, at a cost to the I organization of $43,018.00; of these South Carolina had 21 costing $1, 111.10, Our local chapter has never been able to raise a scholarship of its own, but contributes liberally each year to those raised by the State and district. The necessity for this work i is seen from the large number of i worthy applicants who contest for these scholarships. Caring for indigent veterans has al? ways been an Important activity of the l\ D. C. There is a general relief fund, headed by one of the ablest ex presidents of the organization, Mrs.! Cornelia Brunch Stone of Texas, to | which all chapters contribute. Many widows are heldped by this. Besides 1 this there are local calls and the chap? ters are asked to help make the Home In Columbia pleasing. South Carolina chapters are at present helping a poor veteran who is stranded in Connecti? cut, but a native of this State. As he is situated he can receive no aid from any pension law and Connecticut is one of the few States in the Union that has no chapter of LT. D. C. in it. Building of memorials has been from the first a work of the IT. D. C, as well as caring for the plots where the Confederate dead fie btiried. South Carolina chapters contributed $1,171.14 to the cost of the wonderful bronze monument, the master work of Sir Moses Ezekiel, unveiled by the U. I>. C. at Arlington last summer and accepted by President Wilson on be? half of the country. There still re? mains a debt on this monument and this chapter is desirious of paying the full amount of Its assessment. The work, of collecting $50,000 for the Confederate monument to be erected on the battlefield of Shiloh still goes on and each chapter must give until it ir completed. Besides this general work of various towns in the State ^re continually asking for assistance towards building their memorials that they may be worthy the cause for which they stand. other expenses that must be met are caring for monument enclosure and plot at the cemetery, the annual Memorial Day observance, annual din? ner to the veterans, history medal presented to the school, crosses of honor presented to veterans, and con? tributions towards keeping up the South Carolina room in the Confed? erate Museum in Ulchmond. The C. D. C. have of course many other activities to all of which ex? penses are attached, but these are some of the demands Dick Anderson Chapter tries to meet and for which it stands always in need of funds.
