Not a great deal of money was turned in, but the attend? ance showed that interest was kept up to the end. The campaign has been a success. Mi?e young men have been secured as members than ever before, about two hundred and fifty names of new mem? bers and renewals having been turned In during the campaign. Many of the new men have signified their inten? tion of joining classes in the gymnas? ium and an increased interest is ex pected there as a result of the cam? paign. Although not as much money was secured In the campaign proper, as was secured in former years, more was secured when it is considered that $1,570 was pledged on Sunday after? noon, which was not counted in as a part of the campaign money. In the campaign $1,183.00 was taken in, whicn is less by about $150 than was taken In last year. However, last year the special committee secured $1,755 outside of the campaign mem? bership fees of $1,30.6. making a total of $3,061.00, which is $237.50 less than was taken in this year in the special committee campaign, which secured $545.00. the $1,570.00 pledged Sunday afternoon and the campaign membership fees. This year the amount pledged Is thought tc be more than that pledged last^year In the I campaign. Sujnter Observes Clean-up Dar. The Southern Underwriter.
