Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian
Church sends every Thursday a box

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

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.
