In the Red Cross drive closing
Monday, May 27th, Chesterfield
county did her duty well. From
every section came fine reports of
liberal contributions to this most
wor.hy cause. Chesterfield county
iii';ed to give $7,000.00. She
h s responded with at least $12,000
and when full reports are in she may
vfc h-ve passed that mark.
The $7,000.00 allotment was divided
between Cheraw and Chesterfield
Chapters as follows: Cheraw,
4,000.00; Chesterfield, 3,000.00. A
complete report has not been receiv
e?i irom Uheraw, but she is known to
have raised more than $6,000.00.
Chesterfield Chapter, which includes
Jefferson, Mt. Croghan, Pageland,
Ruby, Angelus, and Guess, has
reported $5,805;00, but the report
is not complete and it is expected
that late returns will greatly add to
that figure.
rlhe purpose of this Campaign and
the needs of the Red Cross were put
before the people by many patriotic
and enthusiastic workers and the re
snonse on the part of the people was
most gratifying.
Rally meetings were held in various
parts of the county, when much
enthusiasm was manifest. A fine
i opting was held in Chesterfield las
Saturday on Main street in front of
the clothig.store of H. W. Pusser &
'"?na. The Rev. McAm, of Cheraw,
addressed a large and attentive crowd
and the campaign here was thus closed
with enthusiasm and manv eon
tributions.
The colored folks, many of whom
had already contributed, held a meeti'-<r
in the Courthouse Sunday. Pa
triotic speeches were made hv several
leaders among the negroes. On
invitation, Hon. G. K. Laney, Mr.
W. P. Odom and Mr.J.Arthur Knight
addressed the assemblage. Abou
$200.00 was quickly subscribed
The reports from Cherterfield and
its auxiliaries follows. The contri
butions in Chesterfield are given ir
full.
Patrick, Middendorf, McBce and
Laney's are associated with Cheraw

CALL TO YOUTHS
TO FOLLOW DUTY
Washington, May 26.?'The war
department issued a warning to all
yo'it.'s att ining the age of 21 on or
before June 5, that they must present
themselves for registration on
tart day. No excuse will be tolerat- j
ed, the department said, except when
the person is acutally in the military
or naval service.
' he department's warning says:
"Draft officials wish it clearly understood
that no person who has attained
the age of 21 since June 5,
or who will attain that age on
or before June 5, is excused from restration
on June 5, unless on that
date he is an actual and active member
of the military or naval service,
"ersons not subject to registration
Ion account of being in the military
or naval service become subject to
cegistration and are required to register
immediately upon leaving such
militnrv nr nrntol : * 1
j ?. ..? >> so? < /\ny sucn
persons discharged after June 5
must register immediately after their
discharge."
Provost Marshal General Crowder
urging young men to study the drafi.
regulations today issued the following
statement:
"It should be clearly understood
thrt registration is a public duty. It
is distinct from selective service, in
that it is merely preliminary to the
later process of selection. For failure
to perform this duty congress has
irovided a penalty of imprisonment
for one year. Furthermore, such
failure may result in the loss of valuable
rights and privileges and imnediate
induction into military ser- |i
vice.
"No delinquent can be excused for
lot registering on grounds that he
forgofc or did not realize his duty.
The burden is on him and on him
alone, to perform that duty, and he ^
done is responsible."
