MEMORIAL MEET
ING SUCCESSFUL
' A huge audience heard Judge Men
del L. Smith of Camden make an ad
dress at the memorial meeting,
which was held at the Opera House
at 3.30 p. m. Sunday.
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. Mr. Jennings said that Sumter's
quota in the drive for $400,000. was
$12.000. The first subscription was'
that of ex-Governor and Mrs. R. L
Manning for $1,000. The total amount
subscribed at the meeting was over
$4.600.
The meeting was a success and the
committee''in che -ge are well pleased
with the results.

daughter of Mr. M. B. Randle, was!
married at 8 o'clock Wednesday night-!
[at her home on Hampton Avenue, to
Mr. Louis Harvey Leslie of Winston
Salem, X. C. Only the immediate
friends of the bride and groom were
present.
The entire lower floor was beauti
fully decorated in Southern Smilax, j
asparagus fern, yellow chrysanthe
mums, and candles. The ceremony
j room was simply hut effectively
I decorated. The background of the i
altar was formed by a largo, mirror
jabove which was suspended an arch
I of smilax and trailing fern. A lover's
[knot of yellow tulle adorned the cen
jter of the arch, the streamers extend- j
! ing to the palms and ferns banked at
j either side of the altar. A profusion
of large yellow chrysanthemums gave I
the required touch of color, while the
soft glow of light from the many can
delebra shed a subdued radiance over
the scene.
i Just before the ceremony Mr. D. R.
I Pierce sang '-Whisper and I Shall
Hear." accompanied by Miss Milton
Hudgins on the piano and Mrs. R. J.
Alexander oh the violin?Mrs. Bruce j
Lynam sang '*Thy Dear Eyes." ac- i
companied ,by Miss Ethel Green on j

stairs to the strains of Lohengrin's
wedding march played by Miss Green
and Mrs. Alexander. The bride, be
comingly gowned in a dark blue cloth
suit with furs and hat of mole-skin
and carrying a boquet of bride's roses,
entered the ceremony room on the
arm of her father. She was preceded
by her two attendants. Misses Lucile
and Genevieve Randle, wearing white
net dresses and picture hats. They
carried large yellow chrysanthemums.
A small niece of the bride, in a dainty
dress of yellow organdy with butter
fly bow of tulle, carried the ring in
in the heart of a large white chry
santhemum. The groom entered from
the living room with his best man.
Mr. John Brookshire of Greenville,
and met the bride at the improvised
altar, where the beautiful ring cere
mony was performed by the Rev. Mr.
Thayer of the First Baptist church.
After the ceremony an informal re
ception was held and the bride and
groom received the good wishes and
congratulations of their many friends.
During the evening punch was served
in the reception hall.
Ice cream and cake were served
in. the gift room where were display
ed many handsome gifts which at
tested the popularity of the young
couple.
Mrs. Leslie has a charming person-;
ality and has many friends to whom
she has endeared herself. She has a
soprano voice of unusual merit and it
is a source of much regret to the mu
sical circle that her marriage will take
her away from Sumter. Mr. Leslie
is a young man of sterling qualities
and is connected with the Southern
Public Utility Company of Winston
Salem, N. C.
Mr. and Mrs. Leslie left on the
morning train for the North.

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 |
