f DISPATCHING WORK
CLASSIFICATION WILL PROBA
BLY BE COMPLETED THIS
The County Exemption Board
moving steadily forward with the
work of classification. Thirteen hun
dred or more registrants have al
ready been served notice of tho class
in which they have been placed and
it is the opinion of the board that by'
the end of the week notices will have
been mailed to the remaining six hun
dred not yet classified.
The Board advises that all regis
trants keep final classification cards
on their persons so that they may be
produced' at any time they may be
requested. The body also authorizes
the order that registrants report to
the clerk any change in their status
affecting their classification. A fail
ure to do this will be a misdemeanor
for which a punishment by law is pro
vided. Registrants are also asked to
«C*i y carefully their cards in order
to reduce the extravagant number of
minor questions submitted to the
Board.
Fire of finknown origin laid waste
the splendid barn and contents on the
Cross Roads Stock Farm Monday af
ternoop. The fire was discovered
about 0 o'clock. The work of attend
ing to the stock had been performed
for more than an hour and the owners
are not of the opinion that the blaze
was the result of carelessness on the
part of those Who did the'work.
The property destroyed belonged
to Meters. A. H. and G. W. Sangster.
The barn was a model one, built ac
cording to the government specifica
tions and splendidly equipped. It
was ideally Constructed for storing
feedstuff and housing cattle, being de-.
signed for that purpose by the own
ers who are engaged in extensive cat
tle production.
The building which was valued at
about 32,000 was completely destroy
ed together with the contents which
consisted of about 31,800 worth of
grain and forage of various kinds. A
large assortment of farm implements
were stored in the barn, these were
included in the destruction. Tbe big
silo located in close proximity to the
structure was badly damaged, a large
amount of silage contained therein

Demonstrator for this county, Mr. C,
B. Culpepper has been called to an
other ffeld. The services of Mr. Pitt

much that is worth while along agri
cultural lines will be accomplished.
' During the four years in which Mr.
Culpepper has been in the work here
important changes have been made
in the Conduct of farm affairs. His
friends wish him much success iu his
new field which is larger and more

The Government needs castor oil
for lubricating the aeroplanes which
are expected to play a big part in
winning this war. The supply is
short and this section can produce
castor beans, and the Government
means to make it profitable for the
farmers to'plant castor beans.
Mr. Evans in speaking of this mat
ter said, “Castor beans are an easy
crop to produce in this section. Worn
en and children can harvest the crop.
It is a crop that is good for the land
and I am ready to give to fanners in
this section a contract for all the
beans produced by them and to pay
33.00 a bushel at their station.
I will furnish the seed for planting
at exact cost to the Government, plus
the cost of transportation to the
farmer, and will give full directions
as to how to-plant and care for the
crop and harvest it. Any farmer that
wants to take advantage of this offer
and prove his patriotism can write to
me at Hamlet, N. C., and I will see
that information and contracts arc
supplied.

duction in value and it is possible that 1
it may be a complete loss.
There were 35 fine cows stalled in
the bam and a heroic effort was made
to remove them. All but six were
saved without injury, two of these
were burned up, the other four sus
taining severe burns. The leader of
the herd, a-big prize Short Horn bull,
after being led from the burning build
ing dashed wildly back into it and it
was only through great effort that he
was rescued a second ime.
The loss of the cows is covered by
insurance, but the other losses aggre
gating about 38,600 .were only^ par
tially covered, the amount'of protec
tion against his loss being 1,800.
Acting under the provisions of the
Selective Service Law the President
has poqscripted public school teach

notified and all have signified a wil

They will begin their service Satur

Hear The New Edison at
Our Show Room
We have beoome Edison dealers, and we take a good
deal of pride in the faot.
We have been ohosen by the business organization
of which Thomas A* Edison is President to be its
lioehsed dealers in Dooly County.
It is going to be our privilege toplaoe before the
people of this community Mr. Edison's remarkable musi-
oal instrument, the New Edison—the phonograph with a
soul, as it has been named by a great newspaper. It is
the instrument of Music'3 Re-Creation.
We might tell you a lot about this wonderful in
strument, but what we oould say would read quite like
the ads. of any other sound reproducing instru
ment ; we wouldn't be able to convince you that the New
Edison is really something different.
We want you to hear the New Edison. Pay us a visit
at your convenience the earlier the better—and let,
ue us play a few of your favorite selections on this in
strument—we promise that it shall be only a demon
stration; we will not say a word about buying. You
shall be our guest, or guests, if you will also bring
your family and your friends.
Will you come?
