DOOLY NEGRO WRITES THAT HE
IS O. K. IN FRANCE
It will be encouraging to the ne
groes who are being drafted into
service to know that one of their race
f, who is already on the other side,
writes cheerfully of the life there and
is obviously well satisfied. The writ
er is Edward Taylor and in the let-
1 ter which is directed to his father and
t ter he assures them of his welfare
d determination to perform his part
to the best of his ability. He, refers
to the cotton, picking season tfyn read
ing between the lines, one might
gness that' the boy was the least bit
. homesick for the white fields of Dooly
hut soldier-like, he very cleverly dis
guised that sentiment with words of
• cheer. Ho closed his letter with a
Tequest that those at home pray that
the family might one day be reunited.
STUDENTS' ARMY TRAINING
CORPS VOCATIONAL SECTION
Information hat been received from
the Committee on Education and
Special Training at Washington that
it is desired that the Vocational Sec
tion be filled wholly or in part from
men in the institution who are npt el
igible for the Collegiate Section of
the Students’ Army Training Corps.
There are a number of men in the in
stitution already in special courses
who are not elegible for the Colle
giate Section, but who are .eligible
for the Vocational Section. In addi
tion to these a large number of men
were denied admission to the Colle-
nte Section because they lacked the
full requirements for this Section,
and some of them were advised to ap
ply to their Local Boards for Induc
tion into this service. It is now de
sired to induct these men directly
within the institution. The require
ment for the service is the completion
of a grammar school education, but of
course men with even partial high
school training will find the work eas
ier and may be able to win quicker
promotion. The course includes Au-
nechanics, Blacksmithing, Pipe-
" g, Surveying, Power-plant Elec-
„,J, and Radio (wireless tele
graphy). The course lasts two months
the next detachment beginning on Oc
tober ltth. The men are regularly en-
Iistkd in the army, and receive the
full allowance of ap rhrate. They are
given a full but intensive course ia
the subject in which they work, and
are then assigned to the duty for
which they are fitted and needed.
The detachment will not exceed
three hundred men, and application
should bem ade immediately to Pro
fessor W. D, Hooper, Chairman of the
Entrance Comm7ittee, Atlanta, Ga.

MET AND GAS MASK FROM

Although things German de not
hold any particular attarction for peo
ple of American extraction just at
this time, still everyone entertains a
certain interest in almost anything
that pertains to war, therefore the

German Helmet and a German gas
mask, will attract the interest of a
great many people. The articles are
the first of the kind to arrive in Dooly
having been sent by Edward Swain, a

two others were seriously wounded.
He speaks in glowing terms of admira
tion of-the work of the American

AT THE OIL MILL
LEWIS BULLOCK STEPS INTO
SEED - CONVEYER ApjD LOSES
' life, no Witnesses.
Lewis Bullock, a trusted employee 6f
the Empire Cotton Oil Co., of this
city, was found dead at his post by
another employee of the mill Tuesday
night. Bullock who had been with the
company for the past fifteen years,
worked with the night shift as seed
feeder and it is presumed that he ac
cidentally stepped into the conveyer,
a a, his body was found there with one
leg severed by the machinery, his
death resulting.*
TKe accident is deeply deplored by
the management of the mill and the
entire force. The negro was highly
valued by his employer because of his
faithful service, he was popular also
with his co-laborers.
Another treat that comes te the
people of this city sad county through
the Loan campaign will be the pres
ence here Saturday of two men who.
are a part of that magnificent fight
ing force whose military achievements
in Europe are exciting the admira
tion of the .entire world. These mes
have been in the thick of the fight, in
jured in the performance of their
duty and returned here to convalesce
and are. now using -their entire
strength, energy Sad ability ia car
rying forward the fight on this side. *
Accompanying the two young men
will be Hr. Rudlhnd, the field represen
tstbre who is an enthusiastic speaker
and worker. The speakipg will be in
the court house at-10 o’clock. All

close their doors at this hour so 1 that-
managers and employees may have
the oppbrtunity to attend. The ladies
of the town and county are urged to

save affairs of grave importance
should prevent anyone from attend

tax the capacity of the court , house,
some of the speakers will talk to the
overflow in the park. Everybody will
have the chance to. hear one of these
men talk about the work-on the other
jside and the importance of subscrib
ing to the Fourth Liberty Loan.
THE SOUTHEASTEN FAIR
PROMISES BIG EVENTS
The advertisement of the Southeast
ern Fair, Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12-19,
which appears in another part of the
paper is of especial interest to every
one in Georgia, because of the fact
that the United States Government
has given it direct approval by'send
ing a big war exhibit which graphi
cally shows everything that is being
done to win the war. The equipment
of the Southeastern Fair in the way
of adequate buildings properly ar
ranged is such 'that the exhibit will be
seen to a better advantage in Atlanta
than in any other southern city.
In addition to this very important
feature, the entriee of live stock, ag
riculture, boys and girls clubs and
poultry have been received in each
number as to indicate that the Fair
equipment which has already cost a
half million dollan, must be augment
ed to take care of the later entries.
This emphasises the fact that no other
fair in the South will have the com
pleteness in every part even ap
proaching the Southeastern Fair.
Of the recreational and entertain
ment featurce, it may ba said that no
expense or trouble has been spared
to provide a program meeting, the
needs of the people who have been
working this year in the farm trench
es and producing war necessities in
the factories of Georgia. The race
horses from the Grand Circuit include
thes peed kings and queens of the
world. Running races will have the
speediest sprinters in the South. The
free attractions in front of the grand
stand comprise fifteen big hippo
drome acts. The patriotic fireworks
program will alone be worth twice
t)io price of admission.
Of all the special days that are fea
tured, School Day is Jn the judgment
of them anagement, the most import
ant since the Southeastern Fair is an
NEED FOR SPECIAL
RED CROSS WORKERS
In addition to the numerous peo
ple the American Red Cross is sending
abroad for service, there has arisen a
large enough dneed for specialize
workers in this country to make J it
qehtesary to organize a new branch
of the department of personnel to su
perintend the recruiting and placing
of these workers,. In the Southern,
Division, this work is under the direc
tion of J. W. Pearao, who has just re
ceived from Washington a list of posi
tions now open to male workers in
tills country.
The largest need at present is for
high class men in the camps and the
naval stations, 160 of these being
wanted to set as field directors and
assistants. Thess representatives will
be in direct contact‘with Army Com
manders and the heads of large hos
pitals. They must command the re
spect of and be fully fitted to mingle
on a basis of intimacy with inch men;
snd they must have tact, imagina
tion, discretion and initiative.
In addition a field director who
speaks Spnnsh is needed nt Porto
Rico; and In the CAnal Zone s field
director snd three assistants. These
assistants must speak Spanish also,
but in the ease of tjie field director
this is not necessary. He should bo
a man df unusual ability and charac
ter who would practically represent
the Red Cron In the Zone.
A number of other men are needed
