The Butler Herald Volume XXXXII. BUTLER. TAYLOR COUNTY. GEORGIA. THURSDAY. JUNE 6 1918. Number 38 NEW SYSTEM FOR DRAFT INAUGURATED INSTATE “For God’s Sake Men and Women Make This War a Personal Affair” Quotas Now Based on Number of Men in Class One — Over 25.000 Fighters in Georgia Ready for Call. Major Joel Mallet, administra tive selective service officer for Georgia, announces today effec tive June 1 a new system for ar riving at the quotas for each local board has been put into effect. Hereafter instead of basing the quotas on the population of a city or county, the quota figures will be based on the class 1, and cur rent quotas will be assigned for periods of three months each on 80 per cent of that basis. There are now in the state of Georgia 25,659 men in fighting condition in Class 1. In the Unit ed States as a whole the number of fighting men in Class 1 is 1,232,086. In putting into effect this new system, a number of important changes are to be made in the matter of handling men called, and many of whom have already been passed upon. For instance: To Act On Appeals. 1. All pending cases before any boards or on appeal will be pass- upon at once. > Registration on June 5, and classification of these regis trants will be prompt, and on the new basis. 3. A special and vigorous drive by the selective service officers— and there are in Georgia a number of special secret service men en gaged with this department—to apprehend and bring to an ac counting all delinquents. 4. The re-examination of all Class 1 men who have been here tofore passed upon and placed by boards in limited service. 5. The re-examination of all doubtful cases within Class 1. . 6. An appeal to hospitals and the medical profession to correct immediately minor defects of those men who. have been set aside in the remedial Group B, as requir ing minor operation to fit them as fighting men. 7. Close scrutiny and the purg ing of the emergency fleet em ployment list to release all able- bodied men now held in that work. With the Red Cross Second War Fund campaign brought to a successful conclusion, there is nothing left now for which the people of this country will have to prepare immediately, except “pledge Day” for War Savings on June 20th. Until the inauguration of the War Savings Stamps as a meth od. of helping Uncle Sam and for teaching careless Americans how to save, there had never been any definite plan for teaching the people of this country how to save. Many people save on a “hit and miss” plan mostly miss-and as a consequence there were few real savings among the Ameri can people. The War Savings Stamps teach us to save systemat ically, many persons adopting the method of saving one, two or more each week. Under the system which every one will adopt on “Pledge Day” when they agree to buy a cer tain number of Stamps before De cember 31st there will be syste matic in every home in this coun try. The lesson of thrift will be so thoroughly by that time that it will have become a habit, and everyone will become members of the big thrift army of Uncle Sams government. However.it was not with the view of teaching the lesson of thrift that Uncle Sam started this big War Savings campaign. It is because he needs the money to run the government of the Unit ed States, and it is the people wo are benefited by this govern ment who must sugport it. Un cle Sam does not ask for a gift of your money, he asks for merely a loan. Between now and June 28th sit down and figure out for your self just how much you are go ing to buy in the way of War Savings Stamps. When you once to save you will find many other ways in which you can add to your savings and invest in these War Savings Stamps. Don’t forget June 2Sth.Be ready when you are asked to sign the pledge. Yours very truly, JACK CARR, Director of Publicity, S25 Empire BTd’g Atlanta, Ga.

Our neighbor ing city, Howard, was veiled in sadness Monday, June 23rd, occasioned by the death and funeral service of Mrs J. S. Brown, a life-long citizen of that town. Mrs. Brown was stricken'with paralysis several weeks ago, and for several days thereafter, hope was entertain ed for her recovery, but second stroke a few days ago blighted that hope, and physicians and loved ones knew that it was only a question of short time as to the final summons, which took place at 2 o’clock Monday morn ing. Mrs. Brown was the second companion of Mr. Joe S. Brown, the well-known depot agent at Howard, he having been in that service for more than 40 years. Mr. Brown’s first marriage was to Miss Savannah Lloyd, whose death occurred several years ago. He then married Miss Augusta Lloyd, the twin sister of his first wife, and whose death cast a gloom over the en tire town. Mrs. Brown was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Lloyd, for merly of this county, and sister of Dr. W. F. Lloyd, who was a prominent minister in the South Georgia, Texas and Kentucky conferences of the M. E. Church South. She was a life-long member of the Methodist church having her membership with the church at Howard. She was true and loyal to her church and and the cause of Christ. She was approached at one time by one of the Stewards of the How ard church and when told what she was assessed for the church she said, that it was not enough and hadthe Stewar d to raise the assesment to ahigher figure. The floral offerings were not only beautiful, but expensive, attesting the high esteem in which she was held by her many friends. The funeral service was impressively conducted by Rev. L. A. Harrell, of Butler, assisted by Rev J T Adams, un cle of the deceased; business houses of the town, during the funeral service, were closed in respect for her memory.. The following nephews of Mrs Brown acted as pall-bearers Messrs W. M. Brown, John H. Brown, O. O. Brown, Rod Brown Lewis Brown, all of Howard, and E. C. Brown, of Macon. Mrs. Brown was in the 59th year of her age and besides her broken-hearted husband, she leaves one sister, Mrs Stella Ramsey, of Quitman, Ga., two uncles, Mr. P. M. Adams, of Sa vannah and Rev. J. T. Adams, of Butler, Ga., and quite a num ber of other relatives, who mourn their loss. Death of Mrs. I. B. Vann. Mrs. Victoria Vann, wife of Mr. Brad Vann, of Wesley community, died Tuesday following a long illness. She was about 41 years of age and the mother of two chil dren. Since early girlhood she had been a consistent member of the Methodist church. Speaking of her a friend has said “I have no doubt that Mrs. Vann is abun dantly receiving the reward of the righteous, for we have had the example of a Christian exemplifi ed for so long and many times she had spoken of just waiting for the summons to come.” Funeral service over the re mains of Mrs. Vann and inter ment of her remains took place at Union cemetery yesterday after noon the service being conduct ed by her pastor, Rev. L. A. Har rell. BEAUTIFUL LIFE IS NOW ENDED. Funeral of Mrs. S. A. Daniel Held Tuesday Morning at Bethel Church and Cemetery. Mrs. S. A. Daniel, about 80 years of age, was on Monday afternoon at one o’clock called from labor to rest, the sweet Christian spirit leaving the worn and fragile tenement of clay, went home to God the Father. Mrs Daniel was a life long citi zen of Taylor county and for many years a resident of Butler and known, respected and loved for the many traits of Christian character which dominated her life and made her heme a place of sweet association and her pres ence, a desired companionship for the young, as well as the old. Her disposition was genial and full of sunshine carrying with it warmth and cheer for the op pressed and admonition for those inclined to be wayward. It wa3 a treat to be with her, when she was in the strength and beauty of her womanhood. Attractive in conversation and magnetic man ners, she won for herself a host of friends, who will ever cherish her acquaintance and the ties of friendship thus made. For a long while, she was, as one of the pillars of the Corbit’s Methodist church, and when she moved to Butler, her membership was transferred to the Butler Methodist church, to which she was true and loyal to the time of her departure, which was hasten ed by time and age, enfeebling her body and ripening it for the grave and her spirit for the glory world. The remains of Mrs. Daniel, were Tuesday morning at ten o’clock, tenderly bourn from her late residence by four of her grand sons, to-wit: Messrs W. A. Childs, T L Fountain, J.

She was reared in Butler be ing the daughter of Mrs. Bennie Slappy and the late Heni-y J Slap py, and was married to Mr. J. R.
