R. COKER'S LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL. January 9, 1919. To the Governor. Dear Sir: Pursuant to the Act creating the South Carolina Council of Defense, I herewith transmit to you this annual re- port for your information and that of the General Assembly, and am adding a few comments on the year's work. Finances. The Legislature appropriated for the use of the Council for the year 1918 the sum of $25,000, out of which a back indebtedness of about $4,500 was paid, leaving for running expenses for the year about $20,500. The Legislature further empowered the Gover- nor to borrow $15,000 for the use of the Council, if needed. The Council took the position that it was the purpose of the Legisla- ture that we do not expend more than the original appropriation in our work, if it could possibly be avoided, and we have suc- ceeded in carrying through a very full program without exceding this amount, although an emergency appropriation of $2,000 has been made to aid the State Board of Llealth in the Influenza epidemic, and one of $1,000 to the Illiteracy Commission. Finan- cial aid has also been extended to the Boys' Working Reserve and to the Woman's Council. A ccomflishnients. I feel that the results which have been accomplished and which cannot be adequately set forth within the scope of an official re- port, have been very considerable and cannot be measured by the comparatively small amount of money which they have cost the State. No salaries at all were paid from Council funds except to our small office force, and a large part of the actual expenses of the members and County Chairmen in attending meetings and otherwise attending to the business of the Council was not asked for. Members and County Chairmen. The members of the Council have generally shown a whole- hearted response to all requests made upon them by the Chairman or the Executive Committee for service, and have discharged their duty in a highly intelligent and patriotic manner. The principle onus of the work, however, has rested upon our County Chairmen. Without the voluntary service of this splendid body of patriots, the Council could have accomplished comparatively little. They have given their time, thought and effort continu- ally and without stint in all the campaigns we have managed, and many of them have done so at great personal sacrifice. Executive Committee and Secretaries. Every member of our Executive Committee has at all times responded with alacrity to the requests of the Chairman and has supported him with absolute unanimity. A great deal of the time and thought of these men has been given to the work of the Council. The Executive Secretary and the Field Secretary hare handled their work with great tact, ability and interest, and the total lack of friction in the work of the Council has been due to their most efficient service and to that of the entire office force. Womaii's Worh. The AVoman's Division and the organizations affiliated Avith it have done much work of a high order not only in handling the special problems which they were organized to handle, but in all patriotic campaigns. The splendidly patriotic services of the whole personnel of the Woman's Division, and especially the un- tiring devotion to dutv of the executive staff, should be recog- nized in some substantial way. Common Purpose. From its very organization the entire membership of the Council and the County Chairmen have shown unanimity of pur- pose and willingness to work together for the common good that has been truly remarkable. Xo friction of any kind has at any time marred or hindered the work. Demobilization. At its meeting January 9th, the Council passed a resolution asking that it be demoblized February 1. This request was made because no program to warrant the continuance of the Council had been presented by National or State authorities, and because it was felt that a voluntary, unpaid organization of this nature could not function efficiently under peace conditions. * We call attention to the brilliant military service and heroic death of Mr. John S. Reynolds, who was a member of the Council until he volunteered for military duty. I wish to express to you and to the Legislature in behalf of myself and of the Council our thanks for the opportunity that has been afforded us of doing something for the State and Nation during the emergency of the great war, and also to express to you our appreciation for your cordial support and wise guidance. I am, sir. Your obedient servant, D. R. COKER, Chairman. LETTER FROM FIELD DIVISION OF THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. Franklin K. Lane, Grosvenor B. Clarkson, Chairman Director Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, Hannah J. Patterson, Vice Chairman Associate Director FIELD DIVISION or THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE Washington December 28, 1918. State Council of Defense, Union National Bank Building, Columbia, S. C. Gentlemen: Noav that the year 1918 is drawing to a close, it is a great pleasure to report to the South Carolina State Council of Defense on the high quality of the work which it has ac- complished during this year and the high stand it has taken among State Councils of Defense. As we pointed out in our letters at the end of the year 1917, South Carolina was then in the first rank of Councils of Defense and in 1918, as in 1917, South Carolina has maintained a high rank. It has been one of the leading Councils of the South, to whose organization and achievements the Council of National Defense has often pointed as a guide and inspiration to other Southern Councils. During the year 1918, the Council has done excellent work in extending and perfecting the organization on which it had then made so excellent a start. It has been prompt and thorough in carrying out the requests of the Council of National Defense and in addition, it has been markedly resourceful in devising the means of meeting local problems and putting these means into effective prosecution. The work of the State Council of South 6 Carolina in regard to public health is an example of this inde- pendent initiative and resourcefulness. Its health program has been vigorous and thoroughgoing and its work in regard to health has both proved that its vision that public health was a war emergency of the first magnitude was true, and that Councils of Defense were equipped to take a vital part in meeting the public health emergency. Similarly, in food production. South Carolina has advanced beyond the national leadership, both in the programs which it adopted and in the manner and extent to which it has lent its aid to the agents of the United States Department of Agriculture. These are but two examples of the ways in which the South Carolina State Council of Defense has merited distinction and rendered service to the nation and the State in work undertaken on its independent initiative, while at the same time it has main- tained a uniform high standard of execution of all the programs which the Council of National Defense put before it. I sincerely congi-atulate the South Carolina State Council of ' Defense upon its record during the past year. Verv truly vours, (Signed)'^GROSVENOE CLARKSON, Director of the Council and of the Field Division. THE COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. The Council of National Defense was created under an Act of Congress, approved August 29, 1916; and in the same Act authority was granted for the creation of an Advisory Commis- sion of seven persons to act with, under, and by the authority of the Council. In the terms of the Act the Council is, among other things, charged with the "coordination of industries and resources for the national security and welfare," and with the "creation of re- lations which Avill render possible in the time of need the im- mediate concentration and utilization of the resources of the Nation." The Council of National Defense is composed as follows: Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, chairman. Secretary of Navy Josephus Daniels. Secretary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane. Secretary of Agriculture David F. Houston. Secretary of Commerce William C. Redfield. Secretary of Labor William B. Wilson. The members of the Advisory Commission and the work of which they are in particular charge are as follows : Daniel Willard, chairman, president of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad : Transportation and communication. Howard E. Coffin, vice president of the Hudson Motor Co.: Munitions, manufacturing, including standardization and indus- trial relations. Julius Rosenwald, president of Sears, Roebuck & Co. : Supplies, including clothing. Bernard M. Baruch, financier: Raw materials, minerals, and metals. Dr. Hollis (lodfrey, president of the Drexel Institute: En- gineering and education. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor: Labor, including conservation of health and welfare of workers. Dr. Franklin Martin, secretary general of the American Col- lege of Surgeons: Medicine, surgery, and sanitation. The Director of the Council and Advisory Commission is Walter S. Gifford, and the Secretary of the Council and Ad- visory Commission is Grosvenor B. Clarkson. The work of the Advisory Commission is administered by seven distinct committees, Avith one of the commission members acting as chairman of each as indicated above. In addition to this system the following sections and boards of the Council may be considered as* of primary importance and are closely correlated with the general committees, whose chair- men, in several cases, preside over the work of these boards. The sections and boards are: The General Munitions Board. The Munitions Standard Board. The Aircraft Production Board. The Medical Section. The Commercial Economy Board. The Interdepartmental Advisory Board. The Cooperative Committee on the Purchase of Army Sup- plies (United States Chamber of Commerce). The National Research Council. The Committee on Shipping. The Committee on Women's Defense Work. The Committee on Coal Production. The Field Division. 8 THE STATE COUNCILS. Soon after being formed, the National Council realized the need of close organic contact with each of the States. There arose, therefore, the movement for the creation of a State Coun- cil in every State in the Union, A special section of the National Council, known as the State Councils Section, was formed and put in charge of encouraging and coordinating the State Coun- cils. At present there are forty-eight State Councils in active operation. The functions of the State Council are manifold and elastic. The chief of these are seven : 1. To be responsible for civilian morale; to give the people of the State that fulness of honest information which will enable them not only to understand the great issues of the war, but to convert understanding and enthusiasm into intelligent action. 2. To initiate on their own motion solutions to meet the econo- mic, agricultural, industrial, educational, sanitary and social emergencies of their State. 3. To assist instantly and freely in carrying out the policies of the Department of Agriculture, the Food Administration, the Fuel Administration, the Labor Department, the Shipping Board, and all Federal agencies which are extended into the States. 4. To reinforce the efforts of the gi'eat national humane and financial appeals, such as the Liberty Loan, War Savings Stamps, Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and others. 5. To coordinate and direct all war organizations and activ- ities operating intrastate especially to investigate all organiza- tions appealing to the public for funds. 6. To serve as active organized bodies ready at the call of the Governor and all regular State departments. 7. To act as the authorized agent of the Council of National Defense in carrying its propaganda and wishes to the people. THE SOUTH CAROLINA COUNCIL. The South Carolina Council of Defense was organized in June, 1J)17, at the call of Governor Manning, who acted at the request of the National Council. At present the State Council has the following personnel and organization : 9 The South Carolina State Coimcil of Defense. Headquarters Union National Bank Building Rooms 703 and 704 Columbia, S. C.

Just as the National Council felt the need for State Councils, so in turn the State Councils have found necessary the aid and cooperation of County Councils. South Carolina's organization in this respect, though not as yet perfect, is said to be unexcelled b}^ any other State. There is a county chairman in each county with township committees radiating into the school districts of most of the counties. This gives an organization of between two and three thousand patriotic workers ready to ansAver instantly any call for service. The ranking that the South Carolina organization has received in Washington in comparasion with the other States is most gratifying — ahead of forty-two and be- hind none. COUNTY CHAIRMEN. County.

Mr. D. R. Col^er^ Charnnan, Dr. Reed Smith, Executive Secretary. January 7, 1919. Gentlemen: Since becoming Field Secretary of the State Council of Defense, March 5th, 1918, my chief function has been 14 that of a connectino; link betAveen the State and Countv orffani- zations. It has been incumbent upon me to be fully informed of all the activities and policies of the State Council of Defense as well as the Council of National Defense, in order to reliably pre- sent the same to the public. In keeping up the County organizations it has been my privi- lege to visit many of the Counties and come in personal contact with a great many of our leading men, and I am pleased to state that we have an active chairman in every County with one or two exceptions. One of the chief functions of the Field Secre- tary has been to assist in the various patriotic campaigns throughout the State, such as the Liberty Loan, Red Cross, United War Work and now for the relief of the Armenians and Syrians, In this connection I have attended many conferences and made many addresses throughout South Carolina. In ad- dition to these duties we have handled the confidential references for the Bureau of Personnel of the American Red Cross on the applications of parties for over-seas duty. I wish to express my great appreciation of the confidence re- posed in me by the appointment to this office, thus giving me an opportunity to render a little service to my country in this great crisis. As a back-ground of all of my service I have endeavored to keep in mind the importance of inspiring high and unselfish patriotism as the basis of all the activities. I vicAved the Coun- cil of Defense as the one particular organization whose duty it was to keep up a strong civilian morale throughout South Caro- lina, an-;^, I have every reason to believe that the most important work done by this organization was of an indefinable nature, it being our duty to inspire courage and confidence as well as to warn the people of serious situations. It hns been a great pleasure to me to have been associated Avith the Executive officers and all of the members of the South Carolina Council of Defense, and in closing my work I bid them a hearty God- Speed. (Signed) HUGH R. MURCHISON, Field Secretary. SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT OP THE WOMAN'S DIVISION COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. The Semi- Annual meeting of the Woman's Division was held in Columbia, S. C, July 8, 1918. At this meeting Mrs. F. S. Mayes, of Greenville, S. C, resigned as State Chairman and Mrs. 15 J. Otey Eeed, of St. George, Dorchester County, was elected to fill the vacancy. Mrs. Richard I. Manning ^Yas reelected as First Vice Chairman. Mrs. J. L. Coker, of Hartsville, Second Vice-Chairman. Mrs. E. C. von Treschkow, Camden — Recording Secretary. Mrs. W. C. Cathcart, Columbia — Executive Secretary and Publicity Chairman. These State Officers with the following representatives from the Seven Congressional Districts constitute the Executive Com- mittee. Mrs. R. G. Rhett, Charleston — representing the 1st Congres- sional District. Mrs. J. B. Sally, Aiken — representing the 2nd Congressional District. Mrs. Walter Hunt, Newbeny — representing the 3rd Congres- sional District. Mrs. R. A. Cooper, Laurens — representing the 4th Congres- sional District. Mrs. Leroy Springs, Lancaster — representing the 5th Congres- sional District. Mrs. Robert Macfarlan, Darlington — representing the 6th Congressional District. Mrs. Nina M. Solomons, Sumter — representing the 7th Con- gressional District. Organization. The State is organized in 45 Counties with County Chairman, Child Welfare Chairman, Educational Chairman, Health and Recreational Chairman, Publicity Chairman and the following chairmen of Departments: Miss Julia Selden, Spartanburg — ^Educational Chairman. Mrs. H. K. Leiding, Charleston — Health and Recreational Chairman. Mrs. W. E. Lucas, Spartanburg — Music and Liberty Chorus. Mrs. F. S. Munsell, Columbia — Liberty Loan. Co -operation. Nineteen State-wide organizations and nine National organi- zations have co-oordinated and are cooperating with the Woman's Division. The Woman's Division has worked in perfect har- mony with the State Council. 10 An jippropriation of $250.00 per nionth Avas made for the maintenance of Headquarters; later this appropriation was in- creased to $300.00 and an appropriation of $175.00 per month for a period of three months for the salary and traveling expenses of a Field Secretary. Mrs. Howard Caldwell, of Columbia, was appointed to this position and assumed the responsibilities of said office last August. Our splendid organization is largely the result of her work in building up and strengthening the units throughout the State. The organization of ne^ro units throughout the State has been largely perfected ; the colored women have rendered valuable assistance in every canvass for Red Cross funds, Liberty Loan Bonds.War Savings Stamps, United War Work and rendered a valuable assistance in nursing during the recent epidemic of influenza. In the epidemic of Spanish Influenza which swept the Southern States in the fall of 1918, it was estimated that about 87,415 persons suffered from this disease in South Carolina, over which the civilian health authorities had no control becau-e of inadequate health organizations. The Avomen of every county volunteered their ser^dces in various ways: some nursing and others prej^aring diet for the suffering. Diet kitchens were opened from which nourishing food was carried by the Red Cross Motor Corps to the different hospitals and homes. Lunches Avere served each day to the convalescent S. A. T. C. at the University of South Carolina. The Associated Charities had about 150 families to look after. Soup Avas donated to the families Avhere the mother Avas not able to prepare food for the children. Valuable Avork Avas done by the Red Cross Influenza Committee. Besides making deliveries of food to the sufferers in the city each day they sent out 10 gallons of soup, 1 dozen loaves of bread and six or seven quarts of milk to the Rescue Orphanage CA^ery day where there Avas quite a good deal of sickness. Women from every walk of life rendered valuable services. The schools being closed the teachers A'oluntecred as nurses. Business girls offered their services in the eA-ening. The colored Avomen of the State did magnificent Avork in re- lieving the situation. A complete survey of the State for reports of the services rendered by both Avhite and colored Avomen is being made by the 17 Executive Secretary and will be published in pamphlet fonn and mailed to the members of the Council. Cam'paign For Funds. During the past quarter in the campaigns for funds to finance the War Department of the Government team-work of the women has been magnificent. In the Fourth Liberty Loan Drive the Women's Committee raised 30%%of total amount subscribed and 53%% of subscriptions in the Slate. Amount subscribed to by women alone was $42,420. Amount of subscriptions secured by women's teams $20,28G.^nO. In the United War Work Campaign, the woman's team raised $44,808.44. This was not a fair showing for the women's work as unfortunately in many of the counties the men's and women's subscriptions were not recorded separately. IMrs. W. D. IMelton, Chairman for Richland County, reported $24,741.02 for the women. The record of War Savings Stamps sold by the women has not been kept separately from the men's in the counties, but in Anderson thev attribute the vrinning of the flag to the women's work. Cherokee County also gives the women credit for their success as likeAvise Charleston and Eichland. In the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call the women of the Division made a house to house canvass doubling the membership in the cities and quadrupling it in Richland County. Conservation. Throughout the State the women have been cooperating with Food Administration in conserving and producing food; also cooperating with the Fuel Administrator in saving coal. In co- operation with the Children's Bureau, Department of Labor, Washington, D. C, the County Child-Welfare Chairmen have been engaged in the v^eighing and measuring tests and Birth Registration of children, which Avas the first drive in the Chil- dren's Year program for the conservation of Child Life. The progress of this work was retarded by the terrible epidemic of influenza. In a Nation-wide campaign to enlist recruits for the Student Nurse Reserve the County Chairmen were very active, cooper- ating with the State Nurses' Association. A detailed report of the work was submitted to National Headquarters on August 22nd. 18 News Dejyartment. In spreading information about the War Work of the Woman's Division we have served the various departments through the daily papers of the State. Six dailies have given double columns in their Sunday editions in which the news from the 45 counties was published. Bulletins received from Washington were re- leased immediately upon receipt. We had on our staff 30 pub- licity chairmen who have furnished headquarters with reports of their activities at least twice a week and securing space in the County papers for work as outlined by the National Headquar- ters.- The press of the State has been most generous in allowing space for the Educational propaganda which has meant more to us than anything else for the winning of this world war. The Executive Committee in session, 'November 25th, 1918, recommended that the Woman's Division concentrate their efforts in the future on a program of peace along the lines of Public Health, Child Conservation, Compulsory Education, cooperation with the State Board of Health to prevent the loss of Child life through ignorance, working for 100% Birth Registration, urging the appointment in each county of Public Health Nurses and in close co-operation with the Illiteracy Commission to free South Carolina from the bonds of ignorance, MRS. W. C. Cx\THCART, Executive Sec'tv. REPORT OF S. H. EDMUNDS, FEDERAL STATE DIRECTOR OF U. S. BOYS' WORKING RESERVE. Sumter, S. C, January 9, 1919. To the Ilonorahle, The State Council of Defense^ Colu7nhia, S. C. Gentlemen : Last March I was requested by the State Council of Defense to assume the State Directorship of the United States Boys' Working Reserve for South Carolina. While I was quite willing to do everything in my power to help our country in its time of direst need, I realized that I am a public servant and as such must at all times do my full duty to the best of my ability to the ]uib]ic cause which I have the honor to serve. To this end, I notified the State Council of Defense that I should be glad to assume this Directorship if I could be given a secretary who by doing the clerical work of the office and by assisting me with other clerical work would enable me to perform the duties of the State Director without detriment to the Public School Svstem 19 of Sumter. This request was complied with and an appropria- tion of one hundred dollars per'month for three m.onths was made by the State Council of Defense. This amount was subsequently renewed for six months. Very little more than one half of this appropriation has been used by our office, for, with the exception of twelve dollars and eighty cents ($12.80), the State Council was not called upon for any money except the payment of the salary of our secretary, Miss S. H. Rembert, of Sumter. The United States Boys' Working Reserve has an organization in every State in the Union, in the District of Columbia and in the territory of Hawaii. At the National Conference which I attended in September, forty-four States were represented. The authorities at Washington believe that the necessity for food production is greater than it has ever been in the history of the world, and they believe also that in meeting the demands for this increased production, the United States Boys' Working Reserve will be an essential factor. In our own work in South Carolina we have had much work to do along the lines of education and enlightenment. There were two great difficulties in our wav. The first was a belief that the Boys' Reserve would interfere with a boy's freedom to work upon his father's farm. We have had difficulty in impressing upon the fathers and the boys the fact that no boy would be trans- ferred from his father's farm without his father's expressed desire. The second difficulty was a belief that the Reserve desired to curtail the boys' educational opportunities. We have suc- ceeded, we believe, in letting it be known that instead of pre- venting in any way a boy's education, the desire of the Reserve is to promote it in every way. Some of our County Directors and Enrolling Officers have done splendid work and we should like very much to mention these by name in this report. We have reserved this, however, for our final report when it will give us peculiar pleasure to give prominence to the names of those who deserve honorable mention on account of their efficiency and fidelity. Mr. R. E. Grier, of The State, as State Publicity Director, has been actively cooperative. I vrish officially to commend him. Governor R. I. Manning has issued a proclamation for the observance of National Enrollment Week in South Carolina and we should enroll hundreds of boys during this week. We should show the other States of the American Union that in this con- 20 structive work in behalf of our country and in behalf of the world, our beloved State is not behind. To this end, we will send commissions or official requests to everj' High School principal of this State. We wish every boy fifteen and a half years of age to be enrolled. One of the many benefits that will accrue to the members of this organization is that fact that membership will entitle them (o the use of the Farm Craft Lessons that should prove exceed- ingly valuable not only in farm work, but also in school work. These lessons were edited by Dr. Davenport, the Dean of the Agricultural School of the University of Illinois. We have been very busy lately preparing them for shipment from our office in Sumter to the different schools in our State. We believe that all boys Avho join this organization will be greatly benefited not only because of the valuable experience that they will receive; not only because of the consciousness of service rendered to our country at a time when such service was needed most; but also because of the lasting blessing that must come from the cultivation of a broad planetary patriotism that will enable them trul}^ to realize the full importance of President Wilson"'s statement: "We are dining at a common table in a common caus^." It is because we are thoroughly convinced of the genuine bless- ing that must result from our organization that it has at all times given us real pleasure to render any service within our power. Respectfully and cordially submitted, (Signed) S. H. EDMUNDS, Federal-State Director for S. C. ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS. December 31st, 1918. The primary task of the State Council of Defense was one of organization. There is a county chairman in each county at the head of the work, Avith subordinate committees in most counties radiating through the townships and school districts. Between 2,000 and 3.000 men were available throughout the State for any work that the National Council or the State Council wished to do. The organization has been live, active and energetic in nearly every county. Comparison with the methods of organi- zation of other States on file at the Council of National Defense 21 in Washington shows the South Carolina organization to have been as complete as any in the country and efficient to a high degree. * * * An idea of the general scope of the routine duties of the Coun- cil may be gained by naming over the leading committees. These committees are as follows: Executive and finance, publicity, military matters, production and conservation of foodstufTs, in- dustries, transportation, cooperation of activities of patriotic organizations, research and education, coo]:)eration with negro organizations, audit, medicine and sanitation, legislation, voca- tional education, and reconstruction and readjustment after the war. * * * The Council has all along felt that the negro population of the State should by no means be neglected in the different move- ments inaugurated for the improvement of South Carolina's con- ditions. In connection with the white committees and white county councils there is being built up an effective negro organi- zation which Avill be responsible for the spread of information and suggestions among the negroes of the State. * * * The ncAvspapers have shown a fine spirit of cooperation and are regularly printing whatever publicity items the State Coun- cil sends out on the various subjects connected with the National and State Council activities. ^ ^ *> Work among the women of South Carolina hns been continued with Mrs. J. Otey Reed as chairman and Mrs. W. C. Cathcart as executive secretary. This organization is known as the Woman's Council of Defense of South Carolina. Mrs. Eeed has been aj^pointed a member of the State Council and thus the two organizations are united in close and intelligent cooperation. The State Council is bearing the expenses of this work. * * * The important work of the production and conservation of foodstufis has been efficiently handled by a committee of which Mr. Bright Williamson is chairman and Dr. W. W. Long of the extension department of Clemson College and Mr. A. C. Phelps, of Sumter, are members, with which committee Chairman Coker 22 has constantly cooperated. Many important recommendations and suggestions have been given wide publicity by this committee. * * * As the regularly authorized South Carolina agency for carry- ing- out the wishes and instructions of the Council of National Defense, the State Council of Defense took either a leading or an auxiliary part in all of the great National and State w^ar move- ments and war causes. In addition to this, it initiated on its own motion many movements affecting the social, civic and economic welfare of the State. A detailed description of the activities of the Council for the last twelve months is impossible therefore, owing to the multiplicity and variety of the undertaking? en- gaged in. The following, however, comprise a list of its activi- ties and achievements: * * * Completing the census of South Carolina nurses. ^ '!» n» A State-Avide spring campaign of increased food production and conservation in cooperation with the Food Administration, the Farm Demonstration and Home Demonstration forces.

The State Council of Defense has also carried on a large corres- pondence Avith the State Councils Section of the Council of National Defense relative to war work and matters of general concern.

On September 15th, the Council of National Defense, actuated by the Country's urgent need of man power and material, cre- ated a section known as the Non-War Construction Committee and imposed upon it the responsibility of restricting all man- ner of building construction throughout the country which did 27 not pertain directly to the winning of the war or was not abso- lutely essential to public welfare. The Council was instructed to create a state committee as well as a subordinate body in each county and assume immediate authority over all activities of this nature. The Federal Gov- ernment having control of all structural materials, issued in- structions and rules relative to contemplated building projects. Buildings already begun, where a substantial part had been con- structed, were, if the circumstances warranted, granted permits to finish, but applications for all other buildings excepting such as were intended for agricultural purposes or food production were denied and a great many public buildings and other con- struction work for which there was not an immediate necessity were ordered discontinued until after the period of the war. This was one of the most important tasks devolving upon the Council. It must be said to the enduring credit of the people of South Carolina that, almost without exception, the decisions of the committee were accepted without protest although in a great many instances the applicant was subjected to severe finan- cial sacrifice. A total of 200 projects were examined into with the result that 85 requests totaling $700,000 were refused by the War Industries Board. All restrictions were withdrawn very shortly after the arm- istice was signed and building activities encouraged in order to give employment to soldiers about to be released from military service.

FINANCIAL REPORT. The Act creating the State Council of Defense carried an appropriation of $25,000, with authorization to borrow upon the credit of the State the sum of $15,000 additional through the Governor, if necessary. Of this sum, by special legislative pro- vision $4,600 was applied to the expenses incurred by the Coun- cil during the latter part of 1917, before the Legislature met. This left $20,500 available for 1918. By the terms of the Act, the expenses of the members in attendance on the regular meetings of the Council and special committee meetings were authorized. The Council voted $20 a month to each countj^ chairmnn for paying the expenses of the county organizations. Five dollars a month was voted to each county chairman of the Woman's Division for paying the expenses of her county organization. One hundred dollars a month beginning with March 26th, was voted to the U. S. Boys' Working Reserve for establishing and carrying on the activities of this organization. Of this appropriation $75 a month only was utilized. 29 One thousand dollars was voted by the Council to initiate the activities of the Illiteracy Commission. On special request of Dr. James A. Hayne, an emergency appropriation of $2,000 was voted for use in the influenza epidemic. In April, $250 a month was voted to establish and carry on the office expenses and the salary of the Executive Secretary for the Woman's Division. This amount was raised to $300 per month in October. Salary $100 and traveling expenses up to $75 per month for a field secretary for the Woman's Division was authorized at the October meeting. For carrying out the State-wide health campaign beginning August 1st, 1918, the sum of $5,000 was voted by the Council.
