At the present time we have i* Coffee county two Chapters of the American Red Cross, the Coffee County Chapter at Douglas and the Willacoochee Chapter at Wil lacoochee. As the time has come for thorough co-operation of every man, woman and child in this great cause, and as the new county will soon be ratified, and for the con venience of a great host of people who will gladly co-operate with a Chapter at Pearson we are organ izing the Atkinson County branch American Red Cross at Pearson, and will publish through the kind ness of the editor from week to week the names of new members and the progress of the work. For the benefit of those who are not familiar with the work of the American Red Cross I submit a brief history for the past year: On the declaration of war by the Coi- led States the Red Cross came to the fore as the one great organiza tion pledged to the care of the destitute, the sick, the grounded and the dying. Suddenly it found itself in charge of a tremendous business outside of the business of the war. Organized to co-operate with the Army and Navy, it- had to furnish hospital and ambulance service and it has to go out among the people and ask for workers. It turned to the American nation in May of last year for $100,000,000. The people did not question, but gave it. It called for something more than the giving of money — for the enpenditure of free time and unpaid for service. These are a token of a good will that cannot be expressed by money. Had not the Red Cross been able to call upon the women of America to meet its tremendous expansions, it might have failed in doing quickly a service that money could not have accomplished, however great the amount. Thus if formed the greatest part nerships the world has ever known, from a human standpoint, pledged to the cause of mercy. Hours upon hours have the women of America toiled in learning the accessory trades attached to the work of mercy. They have sent bandages broad in tons, and no rolls have ever been wrapped with greater love and care, or heart apony. Their needles have kept time to the whir of machinery, and ships have gone forth with warm cloth- ing for the soldiers in the frozen trenches with the knowledge that an invincible, line of American wo men were behind it. The Red Cross has dauntlessly started on batt)e field and in hospital needful work w bjcli in list not, cannot, be abandoned. If hqs cpst money, but this war is beginning to teach us to care less for wealth when we are asked to give I In* War God the life out of our homes, the flower of our young manhood for which we care everything. And there is no true dyed in flic-wool American who can hold back from service or withhold that which bill enable our boys to fight more efficiently and sell their lives more dearly. In view of this fact, we must keep constantly before us the need of maintaining a strong line of spiritual trenches ip this grand fight for Democracy, for as the battle rages and flux bodies of men are torn the need npiltiplies. You will be asked for looney; give il freely, and let every mau v woman and child among uS.du the best we can for the sacred danse, Wo are enrolling the children in the Junior lied Cross and the adults in the Senior, Junior membership fee is 25c., and the Senior sl. It is exceedingly gratifying to those of us who have assumed the re sponsibility of leadership in this very needful work, that wherever they have presented the cause, at Sunny Side, Antioch and Mt. Zion, the have met a hearty response. We wish to liiank Mr. J. J,. Sut ton for his kindness and co-opera tion both at Sunny Side and Anti och; also to Judge J. I. Summer all. Col. B. T.
