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 WORK BEGINS FOR FOURTHROND DRIVE MEETING CALLED FOR NEXT TUESDA YAT 9 A. M. AT COUN- CIL CHAMBER.

Prelim inary to the launching of the cam paign on the 28th a meeting of the ittee has been called for pt. 24th, at 9 a. m. Mr. of Macon, our zone id Mr. Rudland the district will be present at this meeting, and committeemen are re quested'to be on hand promptly at 9 o'clock as these officials will remain for a limited time only, and it is emi nently important that all workers be present to hear their suggestions and advice. >. In view of the fact that our people are extremely busy at this time it is earnestly desired that all workers lend their hearty cooperation in or der that the campaign may be con ducted successfully and without de lay. on the 12th.

Com 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 church yesterday morning at 11 o’clock, Rev. J. M. Kelly was the of ficiant, Rev. W. L. Wright assisting. Interment followed Immediately in Harmony cemetery. The services were largely attended.

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 , . . ,,, . , leaves a number of grand children so few heard he message.

WE WILL BUT 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- thing like 20,000 population.^ quota of the loan is $275,1 ' means that Dooly will 2,000 Browning MachhilPj make the world a live In. 4 Mw noM leril ne neitaailq FORSjULfe-tSftAifr ,tx»s too acrek iigWd, 2 milps from lilly, Ga., 6-room dwelling.
