The summer drive of the boll weev- on the cotton crop in Dooly is on, From every section of tho county re ports come of their presence in large numbers and the destructive work they are doing. Many farmers have set themselves assiduously to the task of fighting tho pe^t, they are employ ing the only method that had yet been found of any value, that of careful ly watching the fields for the weevils, picking and destroying them together with all fallen squares. Thosewho are doing this will likely harvest fairly good crop but unfortunately there are some who are giving no at tention to the weevil prefering to lose the entire crop rather than put forth the effort necessary to save at least a portion of it. Although there are a few fields that as yet have shown no signs of the weevil’s presence, they are pretty well Mattered and it is highly prob able every field in the county will be Infested before theccason is over. The recent storms have played havoc with many of the fields, these things added to the half stands that made the original outlook somewhat discouraging make the present pros pects for a yield, particularly, for , tho eastern and northern section of the county, very popr.

Tho complete report of the cam- Epaign for the sale of War Savings Stamps throughout the county which was to have terminated on the night of June 28th, is not yet in hand, therefore it is impossible to give out any definite announcement of the re sults. As nearly as can be determin ed, however, with the informatirn in hand, the county’s entire allotment has not been obtained. The work of the various districts is being assem bled and the amounts totaled as rap idly as possible. In practically every district there are a few cards yet to be turned in, some that for various reasons, the committeemen have been unable to dose up. The county has been quite thor- ' oughly canvassed in most of the dis tricts, but a final intensive effort will be made to secure sufficient pledges to bring the amount up to the mark fixed by the govemmnt.

A number of colored registrants have failed to file questionnaires with the Local Board‘Dooly County, Ga., and others have failed to report for physical examination. Since it is possible that these men, or some of them, may be ignorant of their duty and of the law on the subject, the lo cal board is publishing a list of all registrants who have not filled out their questionnaires or reported for physical examination. It is the patriotic duty of every per in the county to see that these negroes come before the Local Board once. It is not the duty of any particular person but of everybody. Everytime a man evades the draft another man, more patriotic and use ful must take his place. However, every man is held respon sible for his own acts. By now it is generally known that all question naires have been sent out. Ignorance will excuse no one. A registrant who has not received his questionnaire must come before thel ocal board and ask for one. Ample time has already been given for filing questionnaires and after Wednesday, July 10, the Board will not accept any excuses for failure to do so. At that time July 10, the Local Board will ask the Ad jutant General to declare all delin quents to be deserters, and in ten dayB thereafter these delinquents will be in the military service of the Unit ed States and liable to arrest as de serters, ■ / - Following is the list of those who have failed to return questionnaires, with tlie last known address of each registrant.

Continued on page four . The campaign waged by a commit tee of women among the women and children of this district for the sale of War Savings Stamps has obtained highly satisfactory results. It has added $5,000 to the amount pledged, the pledges being voluntary, and in no way connected with the assessment plan. Asidef rom the gratification that this surplus has helped to put the dis trict over the top with an ice major ity, those who have been engaged in the work have the additional saticfac- tion of knowing that practically every home in the district has been visited with thereout that nearly all of the women and children arc personally interested in this war saving plan.
