THF TOP Fish Dam township, of which Carlisle is the capital and only important town, deserves especial mention in the Red Cross drive which ended last night. The ouota put upon the township was $300. The amount raised was $810?almost three times "over the top." Carlisle has a total population of 367 souls. In the entire town- . ship there are but 87 voters, so it is readily seen that the achievement was most Commendable. There i? a lnrce preponderance of colored people in the thownship, they contributed quite liberally and generally to the fund. J Rev. A. McA. Pittman, W. B. May, L. P. Thomas, Mrs. G. W. Thomas, Miss Sadie Gist and Mrs. V. S. Wall, the # committee in charge. Three of this committee, Rev. Pittman, W. B. May and L. P. Thomas presented the cause at Jeter's Chapel (colored) Sunday and secured $140, one-fourth of | the amount in cash. Carlisle was one of the towns to w'hich was awarded a Liberty Loan flap:. In the third Liberty Loan campaign the quota put upon the community was $0,800 and the total subscribed was $11,000. Wm. H. Gist, of the Bank of Carlisle, the chairman ofthe committee and Mrs. C. T.

They day is consecrated anew to the thousands who recently have piven their lives in perhaps the out me in no, people are asKeu to gamer at their places of worship and nray for the victory of the American armies. The President's proclamation says: "Whereas, the Congress of the United States, on the second day of Anril last, passed the following resolution: "Resolved by the Senate (House of Representatives concurring) that, it being a duty particularly incumbent in a time of war humbly and devoutly to acknowledge our dependance on Almighty God and to implore his aid and protection, 'the President of# the United States be and is hereby respectfully requested to recommend a dav of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, to be observed by the peonle of the United States with religious nooiest cause lor which America ever has fought. The nation thus will commemorate the sacrifice of her khaki-clad sons who sleep in France and of her boys who were swallowed in the cold waters of the North Atlantic when German torpedoes found their mark. Although even the vanguard of the expeditionary forces has yet to observe the first anniversary of its arrival in France, and even though a great part of the time of the American armies overseas has been given to training, the casualty list has hegun to mount into the thousands. The blood of American youth has l>~"spilled for the first time on an European battlefield. I resident Wilson formally lias proclaimed the day one of public humiliation, fasting and prayer. Through solemnity and the offering of fervent supplications to the Almighty God for the safety and welfare of ou; cause. His blessings on our arms, and a speedy restoration of an honorable and lasting peace to the nations of th< earth. "And whereas it has always been the reverent habit of the people of the United States of America do hereby proclaim Thursday, the 30th day of May, already freighted with sacred and stimulating memories, a day of public humiliation, prayer and fasting, and do exhort my fellow citizens oi iiu iaitns ana creeds to assemnie on that day in their several places of worship and there, as well as in their homes, to pray Almiphty God that He may forgive our sins and shortcomings as a people and purify our hearts to see and love the truth, to accept and defend all thinps that are just and riplit, and to purpose only these righteous acts and judpments which are in conformity with His will; beseechinp Him that He will pive victory to our armies as they fight for freedom, wisdom and to those who take counsel on our behalf in thes^ days of dark strupple and perplexity, and steadfastness to our people to make sacrifice to the utmost in support of what is just and true, brinpinp us at last the peace in which men's hearts can be at rest because it is founded on mercy, justice and good will." The observance of Memorial Day will not be confined to the United States and its insular dependencies. In every capital, particularly London and Paris, where are located even a handful of American veterans, a patriotic reunion will be held. Out on the battlefront of northern France, at a few points so close to the lines that the gathering may be menaced by shellfire from German batteries, there will take place simple ceremonies commemorating the sacrifice of those who met an honorable death during the first year of strife. On that field there will be drawn up their comrades and Allied troops who reverently will honor the i first American dead. And, just as much as Gettysburg, Shiloh and the Wilderness live in the. memories of the Civil War veterans' at home, ther has been implanted in the minds of America's first five hundred thousand the unforgettable recollection of Seicheprey and Chemin des Dames. Throughout the North there will gather in practically every community the last remnants of the quota it gave in answer to the call in '61. In many cities of the South veterans of the grey will parade with the veterans of the blue in the inspirinfe^Mc-. 'tacle of veterans of both Ndltlv otKT South commemorating tog6theif the struggle that brought a stronger, a more united America. The ranks of the gray-haired heroes are thinning. Many who survived the great battles of the war have prone on during the great half cen-i tury of peace. These who march furnish a mighty inspiration to the young men of the nation who are preparing for a greater battel overseas. Perhaps there will be times when the step of many veterans will falter, but a new spring will come into their step, shoulders will be squared and a general martial bearing presented as the ranks catch the air of "Dixie" or "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Many stories have reached the War Department from recruiting offices various parts of the country, telling of the efforts of Civil War veterans [to enlist and once more take up arms for the nation. Necessarily their offers have been refused, but these men with perhaps eighty years behind them have persisted in carrying on by speeches delivered in the intere/ts of recruiting, the Liberty loans, and in the dissemination of patriotic propaganda. They are not content to see their sons and grandsons don the khaki or the blue; they feel with a spirit that well might be emulated [by every American their debt of sacrifice to country ends only With the grave. ARRIVED SAFELY OVERSEAS Mrs. C. L. Sorgee, of No. 5 Acade [ my Street has received a card from her son announcing his safe arrival in France. The card reads:? "The ship on which I sailed has arrived safely overseas." Claude L. Sorgee. Mr. Sorgee is a member of Co. E, 118th Inf. His safe arrival is received with delight by his friends. IXTEKIOK DECORATIONS An Irish soldier coming out of ether in the hospital ward after an operation exclaimed audibly: "Thank God! That is over!" "Don't be so sure," said the man in the next cot, ''they left a sponge in me and had to cut me open again." And the patient on the other side said: "Why, they had to open me, too, to find one of their instruments." Just then the surgeon who had operated on the Irishman stuck has head in the door and yelled: "Has anybody seen my hat?".?Ex. fHINK OF WHEAT IN RELATION TO LIFE Every Bushel Saved Now WW Supply a Soldier With Bread Until Next Harvest Columbia.?On? buahal of wtwt will car* for tha bread mmla of om man from sow an til the tut harruut.
