. The total number of men in Dooly
between the ages of 18 and 46, ac
cording to the registration on Thurs
day the 12th, is 1897. This falls far
short of the estimated total, made by
government officials, based oi\ the
Z population and previous registration
which was 2,677.
The registration in June of 1917,
of men between the ages of 21 and
31 showed a total of 1983, -of these
there were nearly three times as many
negroes as whites, while the recent
registration showed a nearer approach
to equalization <of the two races in
men eligible to the order. The record
of the first registration showed a no
table majority of negrjo registrants,
there were more than 3 times as many
men eligible to the order.The regiatra
Hon, according to races was 855
whites, 1041 negroes and 1 China-
Those in charge of the registra-
tion are inclined to the opinion that
it was not complete. This opinion is
being verified by the large number
who have presented themselves for
registration since the day designated.
The Local Board gives out the state
ment that others who have not regis
tered will be privileged to do so if
they can furnish a reasonable excuse
for failure to comply with the order
DEATH CLAIMS HON
ORED CITIZEN
DR. L. W. MOBLEY, GALLANT
CONFEDERATE VETERAN AN
SWERS CALL OF COMMANDER-
IN-CHIEF OF ALL ARMIES.
A war hero has passed to his final
reward. There is sadness in the thin
ned ranks of Dooly’s veterans of the
60's because another of their num
ber, their Commander, has been call
ed to his final rest, there is sadness
too in the great rank and file of his
acquaintance throughout the county
and elsewhere because of the death
of Dr. L. W. Mobley, which occurred
at the horje of his son, Dr. H. A,
Mobley, 'Tuesday morning, following a
paralytic attack, with which he was
stricken about a Week before.
Dr. Mobley was born in Crawford
county in 1842, he was married dur
ing the war to Miss Sara McAfee of
that county who died in 1867, he af
terwards married Miss Samantha
Cone, of Dooly who also preceded him
to the grave thirteen years ago.
The life of Dr. Mobley has been
marked by a great deal of distinctly
honorable service, possibly that which
stands preeminently above all other,
in his service in the war between the
States, his record having been one of
signal distinction.
He enlit(ed in the 6th Georgia Reg
iment in 1861, and left with the
first to fight for the cause he loved.
His war career was remarkable in that
he served throughout the entire war

mander of the Western Division of
Georgia, with rank of Brigadier Gen
eral and also commander of the Dooly
County Camp. He attended practi
cally all conventions given by the
body; county, state and national. Dr.
Mobley also had the distinct honor of
being a member of the Constitution
al convention of 1877,
As a mark of the esteem in which
he was held by his fellow dtisens he
was chosen as Dooly’s representative
in the legislature for three terms.
The influence of his Jife is a part of
the heritance he leaves to his fellow
man, but he leaves a richer, more tan
gible heritance, the life of an only
son, Dr. H. A. -Mobley, the offspring
of his first union, a man Whose life is
benediction to the community in
which he lives.
The funeral was held at Harmony

REPRESENTATIVE OF
RED_CR0SS HERE
MR. ROYAL DANIEL SPOKE TO
SMALL AUDIENCE AT COURT
HOUSE TUESDAY AFTERNOON.
The few who were present at the
meeting which was hurriedly called
Tuesday afternoon in the interest of
the Red Cross were deeply impressed
by the quiet foreeful message brought
to them by the speaker, Mr. Royal
Daniel, field director of the Southern
Division of the American Red Cross.
The group present represented for
the most part thb faithful few who
have through their efforts kept the
spirit of the Red Cross alive since it
was organized locally a good many
months ago. The speaker is eminent
ly qualified for the work to which he
fa devoting his life, Years of exper
ience in newspaper work, coupled
with a strong native intelligence, have
given him a peculiar mental fitness,
and actual participation in the great
struggle that tries the. souls of men,
has prepared him in spirit, for this
particular service. His message was
a direct straightforward appeal for
more loyal Bervlce to the cause which
he represents. There was a notable
absence of indulgence In adulation
for those who have served heretofore,
on the other.hand hts appeal was a
gentle but forceful reminder that
none had done their best. And the
spirit in which this appeal was receiv
ed correspqnded with that .in which it
was given. It is to be regretted that
MRS. E. M. TRIPPE
PASSES AWAY
DEATH FOLLOWS ILLNESS OF
TWO WEEKS AT THE HOME OR
HER SON, R. H. TRIPPE.
A long life, characterized through*
out by noble service, came to a peace
ful end Friday afternoon at 4 o’clock,
when death visited the home of Mr.
R. H. Trippe taking the aged mother,
Mrs. Mary Annie Trippe, who has
bpen ill there for the past few weeks.
Mrs. Trippe who was Miss Mary
Annie Rowell, was born in Dooly at
Drayton in Dec. 1848, her life iHtb
the exception of a few years has been
spent in this county. She was mar
ried in 1861 to Mr. E. M. Trippe a na
tive of Rhode Island who had come to
this county to make his home. The
two lived together for about eighteen
years when the husband was claimed'
by death. Of the eight children who
came of this union four survive, they
are Mrs. T. B. Anderson, of Spartan
burg, S. C., Mrs. W. B. Watts, Atlan
ta, Mr. L. A. Trippe, Gainesville and
R. H. Trippe of this city.
Early in life she connected her
self with the Methodist church at
Drayton where her membership' re
mained until the time of her death.
She was a sweet-splrlted Christian
woman, her life of patient, loving
service to those with whom she was
associated was a testimony of her
faith.
Besides the four children, she

MACHINE GUNS
OUR COUNTY’S FOURTH LIBER
TY LOAN SUBSCRIPTION WILL
PAY FOR MANY OF THESE
WEAPONS.
— —u. Hit
No other single weapon used in the
world war has proved so efficacious
as the machine gun. Equally in of
fense and defense it has become India-
pensable. When our boys dash for
ward against the Huns, they carry
with-them these deadly guns, settin$
them up at every pause to rake tht
ranks of the enemy.' When our art-
store'fly over the German lines for
combat or for observation, each air
plane must carry one or more of
these weapons. Thousands upon
thousands of them are in use now,
and more must be provided in an un
ending stream. •
It is well for the people of Dooly
to fix these facts firmly in thpir minds
for they are about to buy a great hum
ber of machine guns with which the
boys of this place, who are in the
service, will shoot the kaiser’s soldiers
full of holes.
One light Browning machine gun
costs (Re government about $126.
Each resident of Dooly who will lend
the United States government $250.
-will know that he or she la paying for
two of those weapons, and may be as
sured that those very guns will soon
be spraying with bullets the brutal
Bodies who are trying to ruin the
world.
The way to lend this money to the
government—which means to your
self—will be open to each of yoa
when the bond* of the fourth Liberty
loan are put on sale. It will take only
five $50 bonds to pay for those tare
machine guns, and if you canpot af
ford to take all five of them, the
members of your family can combine
to purchase that number. Then,
when later you read about a bunch
of the Dooly boys lying in a machine
gun nest in France beating back a
counter-attack of the Huns, you can
say: “Maybe they are using the guh's
our family paid for.” Dooly has SlMfi-
