MAJOR GIVES $1,200
It was Major Schenck who
steered the campaign on to suc
cess. After Mr. Bickett had
delivered a masterful address on
education and man's duty to
get it and foster .schools for
young people which paved the
way for the campaign. Major
Schenck that captain of industry
friend of education, promoter of
Piedmont, rose to his feet before
that magnificent audience and
started to call for contributions
by giving $1,200 himself. Realiz
ing the great blessing that Pied
mont is to this county and State
and with hope for its great fut
ure, the people responded liber
ally. It was a supreme moment
and when the goal was reached,
a feeling of gladness arose in
the heart of every man, woman
and child there, ,
