Jewish Belief - Fund Sumter County Contributes More Then the Amount Ask ed for By the State Commit tee. A Most Successful Opening Meeting Sumter county was asked to give seven thousand dollars as its contri bution toward the Jewish Kelief fund that is being raised this week by a nation-wide campaign to provide i means for saving the six million des titute Jews in the war desolated re gions of the old world. Sumter's re sponse at the mass meeting held in the Opera House Sunday afternoon was a contribution of $9,000. and the greater part of the county out side of the city is still to be heard from and the canvass of the city/by committees is yet to be completed. It I is safe to predict that the contribu-1 tion of Sumter county to this worthy cause will exceed ten thousand dol lars when all reports have been re ceived and totaled. The campaign fo rthe Jewish Ke lief fund is under the direction of Mr. August Kohn, of Columbia, as State chairman. Mr. I. C. Strauss as dis trict chairman for Sumter, Lee and Clarendon counties, and- Dr. S. H. Edmunds as county chairman. The committee for Sumter county was organized last week with repre sentatives for every section of the county and the work arranged so that the campaign would open with a representative meeting on Sunday afternoon. The mass meeting was well at tended, the first floor of the Opera House bemg completely filled and there was a large crowd in the bal cony. The programme was most en tertaining and pleased, all of the large itudience. The musical, numbers and the character sketch .by Ward -Wa ters . Company of Alkahest. Lyceum j Bureau were bbth novel and pleas ing. The. song recital of Mrs. Marie Nicholson, charmed all music lovers. Dr. J.. A.- Rice, pastor of* 'Trinity ?hurch, who delivered the address, nade a most impressive, eloquent and inspiring presentation of the cause or which the meeting was held. His ;ympathies are with the down-trad len and suffering of ail nations and he appeal he made in behalf of the ?x millions of the old world touched ho hearts of all who heard him. The collection was as usual, turned >ver to Mayor L. D. Jennings and the jxperience he has gained in this line >f pubiic service during the past few ears has qualified him. as ah expert. Iis work on this occasion was not rduous or protracted, for the people ?esponded promptly, cheerfully and renerously, and the subscriptions ould record them. At the close of 11 he meeting the announcement was lade that the total' amount con ributed was $!*.060. with the reports rom other sections of the county and rom the canvassing committees in the ity still to be taken into account. A meeting was held in Manning ist night to raise Clarendon county's uota of three thousand dollars and 'ithout having done any preliminary rork the committee, of which Mr. 'harlton DuRant is ch.^-man, seeur d contributions aggregating $2.::oo.
