The mothers and daughters of the
South and of the city of Sumter are
not called upon by present conditions
to show their patriotism by giving
their sons and brothers to die for a
cause, or to sell their clothing to
help that cause, but that same patrio?
tism and sense of justice demands
that they and every other citizen help
In the endeavor to tfnd und return the
I uniforme and ? tulpment which arc
mow scatter i through !' eMj ad
surrounding country. Former officers
,pf the Sumter Light Infantry ar* be-}
trg forced under bond of $1,000 each
to pay every cent of this shortage.
Any part, even one legging, one shirt,
one pair of breeches, one South Caro?
lina or cross government pin, will
help that much to cover the shortage,
as they will be given credit for full
value of any article (regardless of its
present condition) returned to the
armory.
This shortage was not caused by
negligence on the part of officers in
charge, nor by any wrong intention
on the part of the members. The men
were simply allowed upon returning ,
from encampment and other trips and {
drills to wear their uniforms home
and were trusted to bring them back
to armory. They Intended no doubt
to do so. But mother or sister in
straightening up their rooms tucked
the uniforms away. Out of sight Is
out of mind. There they are today,
between $500 and $1,000 worth of
them and tue officer who happened to
bo tnmded will have to pay for ev?
ery article or part thereof which is
not returned to the armory within
the next few weeks.
The State Inspection will be held on
the 27th of thU month, at which time
every article will be counted and for?
mer officers will be credited v.itn all
articles turned in by that time.
1 appeal to every person in and
around the city of Sunitcr in behalf
of those who will suffer and III the
name of truth, justice and patriotism,
to search^ out and either return to
armory hall or telephone me at Phone
7?.2 and 1 will cend for any a-tlclc '
found.
Understand that this shortage cov?
ers a period of about ten years and
the fact that an article has been out j
of the armory for that or even great- j
er length of time will not lessen its
mine oi keep u from being credited to
the ottOOf who is responsible for it.
The Sumter Light Infantry is your
company, and Its officers and enlisted
men are not and never have been
other than your own people, and. as
nUOhi every one of U| will appreciate
and thank you *or any help or infor?
mation which we feel sure you will
i\o um, In this last effort to save the
unnecessary paying of a s'nnle eent.
