This C. E. com? mittee will be glad to send floweia from anyone who will bring them to the home of Mrs. R.

StAn sill Smith v^is elected to succeed Mr. \V. J. McKagen who resigned to ac - cept a similar position in Hartsville. Mr. Smith will enter upon the dis I charge of his duties June 1st? and in the meanwhile is familiarizing him? self with the work under the direc? tion of Mr. McKagen. _5_??_ The Red Cross campaign to raise the War Fund is still being vigorously prosecuted in this city and through? out Sumter county. Committees are at work canvassing the city and every individual will be called on before the week's end. In the county the work 11 also being systematically carried on and in addition to the individual e invars meetings are being held for both white and colored people at va? rious points. Reports from meetings held last night are most satisfactory ?the spirit that was manifested at the mass mooting Sunday afternoon duplicated everywhere in the county and the people, rich and poor alike are giving generously of their means to provide all the money that the Red ?Voss needs. It is the hope of the ? committee that the Red Cross Fund 1 in Sumter County will he a unani? mous offering in which every resident i of the county who is able to give any ! thing will be represented. It should , be remembered that the one who > gives only a dollar if that is the ex? tent of his ability, has given as gen? erously and as greatly as the one who gives hundreds or thousands ac ( cording to his ability. It is the spirit ) that counts in contributing to the Red ( Cross, and liberality is not measured ( by dollars but by the ability of the giver. American Headquarters, British Front.
