BED CHOSS SEAL FIGURES.
I lo,f>oo,noo Holiday Slickers Already
Distributed in United States.
The biggest drive in the history of
trie Hod Cross Christmas Seal move?
ment is bOlUf made this your, Al?
ready 140.000.000 of the little Christ
nuts stickers have been printed and
distributed throughout the United
States.
Agents in every State and territory
in the Union from Alaska to the Ca
: al /one and from Porto RloO and
Hawaii und even in the far off Philip
I infs ha\e been making demands for
'he stamps. Through these agents
the seuls will be distributed to the lo?
cal am) State anti-tubereulosis asso- i
eialions and to other agencies through
v'felon they will be put on sale.
Every effort is being made to stlm
alite the sale of the seals this year
so the $11.000.000 fund which is the
objectivo will be realized. The coun-j
try's entry into the war and the con- j
S0t|UOUt revelation of the prevalence'
Of tuberculosis and the danger in
which the disease has placed our
army has added incentive to the cam?
paign.
Every man. woman and child is
being asked to triple the amount of
:heir Red Cross Seal purchases this
year. If they bought a hundred seals
;ast vear, they are being asked to buy
three hundred this year, as the annual
fund to be raised must be increased
from the 1916 total of $1.000,000 to
43.000,000.
Advertising circulars-, post cards
und letters are being sent out to aid
In the sale of Seals. Upwards of
J.000,000 personal letters have been
\ ritten, ami an army of fully 500,000
workers, most of them volunteers, are
busy booming the campaign.
Few people who buy the little mes
I \ges of Christmas cheer realize that
more than 1,101 anti-tuberculosis as
MM cations of the country derive their

for the Red Cross, which I have been
following for sometime. It has not
only been a pleasure to meet so many
kind friends whose responsive heart
have helped tue. but the acquaintances
of long ago have been renewed and
r .any new ones made. The people
r.ave surely been kind to me wherever
I have gone and assisted mo all along.
I lu ve . ollected about $6.r..00 gros?

Tin- Legislative Vacancies.
Editor Daily Item.
Concerning the vacancies in the
Rtimter county legislative delegation,
i. for one, think it would be well un?
der the circumstances- to let them
stand Unfilled. Tin- session will be
Well Under way before new members
oan be elected,, and when elected
(hey will be of very little use, for It
taktl a member some time to catch
pjl to the work and to ?et into the
swing of what is being done. .Messrs
I
rcppe and Molse, i believe can handle
ill right the affairs of the county,
und 1 do not believe that a special
? lection is worth the cost and tin
(rouble. .Moreover, at these special
'?lections the vote is always very
?mall, and whoever is elected will be
? be choice of a few.
Our people, however, dearly love to
play at politics, and a few Interested
parties oan make it appear that there
is a wide demand for an election, in
ase wo must have an election I pro
POM that we look elsewhere than law
ange oi- among those usually politl
? aly active for candidates. If we are
oUtg to elect in tbe future I should |
ike to submit now a list of substan- I
ilal cttlsena any one of whom i be-1
i eve would make a irood legislator. i|
would recommend c. J. Jackson or
ileorge Stabry from Stateburtf; R. M".
Jones from Concord; Paul Bowman

Chapter, American P.ed Cross. V.
M. C. A. Building, City.
Dear Miss Annie: 1 am enclosin,
herewith copy of a letter which is,
84 If-explanatory.
I feel that the courtesy is due you j
us secretary of the chapter to receive
this notice of my resignation before
Bonding it to the press, which 1 will do
tomorrow.
i
1 beg to assure you that 1 reglet
ery much the circumstances which
make me teed it necessary to take this
dep. 1 will he with you and con?
nate t,, d0 my duty until the date
! fixed for my resignation to take effect.
Yours truly,
Neiii O'Donnell,
Chairman Bumter Chapter Red Cross
Rdltor Daily Item.
It has just come to my attention
ithat a remark said to have been made
fay me, as a result of the annual
^lection of officers for the lied Cro.;s
hapter, and of Which I have not the
lightest recollection, gave offense to
i number of the Jewish people of the
community, among whom are some of
ay best friends. 1 desire to say that 1
regrot this more than 1 can express,
nd my Jewish friends among whom
1 ! hsive lived for more than thirty
cars should know me well enough to
eel that I would be the last person
'.< the community to say anything at
which they could take offense, In view
l this unfortunate affair, which has
i aused so many of the Jewish people,
? specially the ladies, who have done
ich valuable work for the lied
ros*. to withdraw their support from
. 1 deem it for the best interest of
he chapter that I should sever my of
eiai connection with it ami I hereby
? ruler my resignation as chairman, to
lttke effect on the first Thursday in
inuary. I mention that day as it is
' he regular weekly meeting of the
KCCUtlve committee and to afford
tuple time for the election of my
uccessor.
NolU O'Donnell.
Whereupon the following resolution
\ as offered by Mr. [. C. Strauss and
uanimously adopted:
I Wlnreas. an unfortunate situation
i
' as arisen in our Red Cr OSS Chapter,
wing to a misapprehension and mis
nderstandlng;
And Whereas, the atmosphere has
ecu clarified by a meeting of some
t those directly Interested:
And Whereas, the cause of the Red
i 'ross is so big as to prevent the in
ruslon of any hut disinterested mo
? ves;
Therefore, Be it Resolved:
That the Kxecutive Committee de?
iincs the resignations of Ml. Noill
)'Donnell as Chairman, and of Mrs.
\. C. Phelpg as vice chairman, ami
j ardently requests that both continue
... their respective Offices for the sa!>o
f the great cause that we and they
represent, in making this request we
re fully aware of the fact that both
Mrs*. Phelps and Mr. O'Donnell have
,.ade personal sacrifices to serve the
lied Cross officially and that their ac?
tions have been prompted by purely
? disinterested motu es.
The collie's name appears to be
brOUded in mystery; hut there seems
in bo a fairly reasonable foundation
? ! lor supposing that it is from "coll"
or "collar" on account of the broad
: white mark round the neck which is
I
I i ecu in the majority of thes-o dogs.
