The successful campaign in Dooly has evoked a very pleasing expres sion of appreciation from the State Chairman in the form of a letter re cently received by the County Chair man. The letter follows - “In your letter of the 20th insi, you had taken the broadest view of- the situation of any of our Chairmen who have expressed themselves to us. I regret to advise that in some coun ties, Chairmen have taken the posi tion that unless other counties adjoin ing raised their quotas it was wrong to pledge their quotas, and even in some districts in some counties they have taken the position that one dis trict should not over-subscribe in or der to help out another district in the county. ■ With this . statement you can know how much I appreciate the attitude that you take. “I may use some of your letter in sending a general letter out over the State, but in quoting from it will not use names so it can be identified’.

CAMP MEETING OVER TO-DAY FINAL SERVICE LAST NIGHT- LARGE ATTENDANCE AT ALL . SERVICES. m & Mr' V. Despite the continued rains the services at the Camp Ground which have been in progress since Sunday have been well attended. As usual, the largest crowd visited the grounds on Sunday and following the custom that has prevailed since the institu tion has been in existence, many of the visitors carried their dinners and spread them on the tables and ground underneath the trees. The services have been greatly en joyed by those who attend with view to being spiritually uplifted the sermons have been on the whole, earnest and forceful. Excellent mus ic has distinguished each service. Rev.. Smith the district presiding elder has directed this religious convention with his accustomed tact and ability.

The letter from the County Chair man to which Mr. Richardson refers is herewith subjoined. “While this county is "ovor the top” we are not laying down on the job, but insisting on everyone in the county who is able to do so buying a bunch of War Savings Stamps. I feel certain that our county will not only pay for its quota but will go any where from $100,000 to $150,000 over before January 1st. I further realize that some of tho counties in the state will have a very hard time in raising their quota, and we people who are blessed with good ' citizens and prosperity should assist our weak er and less able brothers. We have had a few disagreeable people to deal with, but as a whole, have gotten along very well. As I wrote you pe- fore, we assessed all of our property owners in the county, and in only very few cases did v/e find it neces sary to reduce the nscsossment. Gen erally speaking, they have come across with the pledges aqd the cash for the allotments assigned to them.” AUGUST COURT 1 BEGINS MONDAY CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS ACCORDING TO THE CALENDAR.
