Carlow Comrades of The Great War Club.

On the proposition of Mr J. Connolly,
seconded by Mr P. Begley, Colonel Browne-Clayton was unanimously
selected as a candidate to represent the Comrades at the coming
elections.
Mr McCarthy, Clerk of the Crown and Peace,
delivered a very instructive address regarding the voting under
proportional representation, and conducted a model election to
enlighten those present.
Great credit is due to the "Comrades" whose
efforts extinguished the would-be disastrous fire in the Labour
Exchange on Tuesday night.

Letter to the Editor.
Dear Sir---- We have all heard of the
proposed Irish War Memorial to be erected at a Soldiers' Club in
Dublin in memory of those brave Irishmen who fought and fell in the
recent war: in this club there is to be kept a complete roll of
honour of all these giving the name and regiment of each man. I am
anxious to obtain from the Queen's County at least £1.000 for this
excellent object. The population of our county taken at the last
census amounted to 54,000. If 20,000 of these gave one shilling
each, we would have our £1,000. If more were given, of course a
larger sum would be obtained. I should be glad to have the names of
any friends who would be willing to collect in their own districts
and to send me the total amounts.

- I am Dear Sir,
- Yours Faithfully,
- Algernon Coote,
- His Majesty's Lieutenant in the Queen's County.
