The meeting was opened by the singing of the national anthem. Im mediately following this was a pray er by Dr. John A. Rice, pastor of Trinity Methodist church. Hon. John H. Clifton was present ed by Dr. S. H. Edmunds, who act ed as chairman for the occasion. Sen ator Clifton made a few remarks in which he told of the deed of a son of Sumter county during the recent war. He then introduced the speaker of the occasion. Judge "Smith, who was an officer of the United States army, and having been stationed in Germany for some time told of some of his experiences and visits during the war. Judge Smith was placed upon a committee to investigate the German evacuations, and he stated that it was never the intention of the Germans to give a single foot unless it was absolutely necessary. The speaker paid many glowing tributes to the valor of the American soldiers in France. Judge Smith remarked that it was of no great importance as to the form the memorial took, but that he person ally preferred a monument placed up on the capital grounds in Columbia to keep company with the other monu ments there. After the speaker had concluded, ?Mayor Jer.nings made a few re marks in which he said he would go a little further than Judge Smith and say that the American soldier won the war. Judge Smith said that the American soldier may not have won the war but without the American sol dier the war could not have been won.

WOEKINGr FOR LEAGUE BALL Wilmington Baseball Fans Start Movement to Organize Carolina League Wilmington. Nov. 1.?(Special).? Absolute confidence was expressed here this morning by those who arc agitating a new baseball league to be composed of Eastern North and South Carolina towns and cities that such league will be formed next Tuesday when nine of the principal cities in this section will have, representatives at a meeting to be held in Wilming ton. Those cities invited to be repre sented at the meeting are Kinston. Wilson, Rocky Mount. New Bern. FayetteviUe, Goldsboro. Sumter and Florence, and word received here late last night from part of those named was to the effect that they will have delegates hen- at the coming meeting. The session will take place in the rooms of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce and will be called to or der at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. It is believed that by early Wednes day morning the cities admitted to membership in the league can begin making their plans for the playing season. William A. French, president of the Wilmington club, declared in an in terview granted here last night that in the event the South Carolina and North Carolina cities unite in the present undertaking, they can pro duce a faster and more successful league in every respect than either rhe South Atlantic Association or the Piedmont League. Mr. French de clares that if the present effort is suc cessful* he will be well pleased that the cities in the Piedmont league re fused to heed his appeal for admis sion to that league, and simiiar sen timents are voiced by Watson Bell, who presented Wilmington's appli cation for admission to the South At lantic Association. Both these fans declare that the proposed Carolina ar Atlantic Coast League, as the new association may be named, was more logical from the beginning. Thus far not one of the cities in vited to send representatives to the meeting Tuesday* has declined to do so, and fans here are hoping that all nine cities will be represented. , It will be possible to admit only eight at the utmost, and probably six, and it therefore behooves the fans in *very city in the proposed circuit to bestir themselves at once. It is declared by James A. Cowan 3f the Wilmington Chamber of Com merce, who last night issued the call for the meeting, that an effort will t>e made to secure a "C" classification for the league and that in all prob ibility the same player limit and sal ary limit will prevail as that now in :he South Atlantic Association, which is 14 players and 2,000 per month. J Should the present effort for organ ized baseball in Eastern Carolina fail, it will mean that there will be no professional baseball played next summer in this immediate section of the state and the fans of several cit ies concerned are therefore greatly exercised and are awaiting the out come of Tuesday's meeting with more ! ihan a little interest. Secretary Cowan has requested the ?ight cities mentioned to advise him it once by telegraph the names of the delegates who will attend the meeting and he declared this morning that by Monday night he will know exactly how many cities will have to be considered in the formation of the new league. The secretary of the Sumter Cham ber of Commerce furnishes the fol lowing information for the edification r,f baseball fans: Those interested in attending this convention will be appointed and duly authorized representatives by Secre tary Reardon, but they will go with no authority from the Chamber of Commerce to enter into any agree ment or contract binding this organi sation to any plan whatever as the secretary has no authority to bind the Chamber of Commerce into any contract. Believing that the cities of Eastern ! North and South Carolina are ready and enthusiastic for baseball and that they do not want to be outside the sphere of professional ball next sea son as well as responding to requests from several of these towns the Wil mington Chamber of Commerce in vites your city to be represented at a meeting in Wilmington next Tues day. November 4th at 3 p. m.. for the: purpose of forming a Carolina league. If we have league ball we must act at once. Piease place this wire in hands of those backing baseball in your city and reply immediately by wire. Have representative at meeting clothed with power to act. WILMINGTON CHAMBER OF COM MERCE. THIRD RED CROSS ROLL CALL Eight thousand men and women of Sumb-r County will be aksed to join the Red Cross for 1020. between No vember the 2nd and the. 11th. All that will be necessary to get their member ship will be to ask them, as experience has shown, for the people of Sumter County do not want the organization that was built up during the war to cease its activities. On the contrary, it has beim decided to extend the work, within the limits of the Chapter's ca pacity, to general civilian work of the same kind that has heretofore been done for the soldiers and the families of soldiers. The Third Red Cross Roll Call is solely for the purpose of securing members for the lied Cross for 1.420. It is not a campaign or drive to raise money, hut to give to everyone a chance to reenlist in this organization, that meant more to the soldier and civilian during the war than any other single agency. The fight to re move rbe conditions that made thirty five per cent, of the young men of America unlit to fight, that causes the death of one baby in seven before it reacln-s one year of age. is just as well worth winning as the war itself was. Mrs. Allston J. Slubbs, Third Red Cross Roll Call Chairman for Sumter County has appointed the following teams of workers to canvass- the city of Sumter. These workers will do I ?everything in their power to see that | every man and- woman in Sumter is ! given the opportunity to join for1 1920. Team Number One?Mrs. Arthur!
