IN TERRELL IS 1,418
THE STATE 231,407, AND ABOUT
9,000,000 IN THE NATION. MA
JORITY CLAIM EXEMPTION.
The registration for the army in
Dawson and Terrell county was both
enthusiastic and patriotic.
A total of 1,418 were registred,
of which 401 are white, 1,014 ne
groes and 3 aliens. The News will
print in its next issue the names of
those who registered.
" The cards of 251 white men indi
cate exemption and the cards of 150 i
indicate no exemptions. The cardsi
of 672 negroes indicate exemptions,
and 342 indicate no exemptions.
The number registered in the
county is about 600 less than wasl
estimated by the government, and
the same is true of practically all of
the counties from which there has
been a large exodus of negroes the
past several months. :
Up to this time only eight slack
ers have been reported in the coun
ty, and these will probably soon be
under indictment by the federal
grand jury. ’
The United States attorney for
this district, Hooper Alexander, of
Atlanta, requests all officers or other
persons who have knowledge of in
dividuals who were liable to register
and failed to do so to give him the
names, their voting precints and
ages, and the names of witnesses.
Investigations of slacker cases
have been hurried, but thorough, be
cause of the desire of federal officers
When Housework Drags
Keeping house is hard enough
when well. The woman who has a
bad back, blue, nervous spells, and
dizzy headaches, has a hard lot, for
the family tasks never let up.
Probably it's the result of kidney
trouble and not the much-feared
“woman’s weakness.”” Strengthen
the kidneys with Doan’s Kidney
Pills. They are as harmless as
they are effective and may be
used for children with weak kid
neys, too.

law to justice at the easliest possible
moment.
| Registration in the State.
~ Officigl reports from all of the
counties show that Georgia’s total
registration was 231,407, which is
practically 91 per cent. of the total
registration of 254,973 expected by
the government.
Of the total number registered
127,645 were white men, 102,429
were negroes. 1,224 were aliens and
120 were alien enemies.
A digest of the complete report,
shows the following: The cards of
89,182 white men indicate exemp
tions; the cards of 38,463 indicate
no exemptions. The cards of 68,315
negroes indicate exemptions; the
cards of 34,114 indicate no exemp
tions.
- The census bureau’s estimates, of
course, took no account of the men
who volunteered before registration
day, and no account of the thou
sands of negroes who have left the
state in the past six months.
It will be noticed that most of the
counties falling noticedbly below the
government’s expectation are coun
ties where the negro population is
large, and where the exodus has de
pleted them. The registration for
the entire country was approximately
9,000,000, about 1,000,000 less than'
was expected. !
Fifty Per Cent. Exempt. |
War department officials estimate
that at least 50 per cent. of the men
who registered for military service
will be exempted from active army
duty for one reason or another,
therefore it is probable that the first
allotment of names drawn will num
ber at least 1,600,000, perhaps 2,-
000,000. It is the plan to make all
exemptions after the names have
been drawn.
Home on Gay Plantation, Near Dov
er, Destroyed With Contents and
$l5O in Money. Some Insurance.
The electric storm of Saturday
night caused considerable uneasiness,
but the only damage reported was
the destruction by fire of the resi
dence occupied by Mr. L. D. Gay, on
the R. D. Gay plantation, which was
bought sometime ago by Messrs.
Saville, Laing and Pickett.
The stroke of lightning that burn
ed the dwelling came while the rain
was falling in torrents, and at first
Mr. Gay thought the barn was on
fire, but investigation showed that
his home was burning.
Practically nothing was saved ex
cept several quilts and one suit of
furniture. Mr. Gay also lost $l5O in
money which he had hid in the house
for safekeeping. The dwelling was
valued at $1,200 and insured for
$750.

iDESTROY ALLTHE
’ PUNCTURED SQUARES
i s
i To the Farmers of Terrell county:
After a close search I find that the
boll weevil are making their appear
|ance in a great many places in this
county. You will find that it is a
great deal harder to find the weevils
than to find their work. All indica
tions are that they are coming out
!in very small numbers, and they
(the first ones that come out) are
short lived. So, if we will get busy
and get all the squares that are in
jured now, it stands to reason that
our chances will be a great deal bet
ter for a fair crop this fall. {
Each square that has a grub in
it, if not destroyed, will mean a large
number of weevils by August Ist.
By picking the squares at least once
a week we stand a chance to make
some cotton in spite of the weevils,
but if we don’t pick these squares
the chances are going to be slim.
Owing to the hot weather the weevils
will be found in the sqbares, in the
blooms or on the bottom of the cot
ton leaves, especially in the heat of
the day. I have heard a good
many of the farmers say something
about plowing up their cotton. This, I
believe, will be a mistake, especially‘
at the present price of cotton. It'
means a waste of labor and seed, not
to say anything of the expenses of
another crop or the prospect they
now have for a cotton crop.
Where there is a very bad stand
I believe that it would be advisable
to replant with peanuts or cow peas,
thus saving the land from being idle.
I have just received a letter from |
Mr. Jackson asking me the names of
parties who will have wheat to sell.
Do you want your name sent in?i
Yours truly, i

“The Fall of a Nation” is sure to
stir patriotic enthusiasm when pre
sented for the first time on July 4th,
at Dawson. In New York and Chica
go the great spectacle was the Mecca
of many thousands of patriotic Amer
icans who cheered the big scenes to
the echo. Thomas Dixon’s play vi
brates with genuine Americanism.
The author describes it as “a bugle

invasion of the United States by Ger

army and the subsequent usurpation
of authority at Washington the wo

the invaders.

Fat Folks May
Now Become
Slim Quickly
Be Moderate in Your Diet, Breathe'
Deeply, and Take Tassco.
Fat persons, particularly those]
from 10 to 30 pounds above normal ;
weight will be interested to learn
that they may easily reduce their
weight without starvation diet or
tiresome exercise. |
This can best be done by being
moderate in your diet, so that you
will not over-tax your assimilative |
organs, by getting plenty of fresh
air, by breathing deply and by tak
ing tassco four times a day. ‘
Tassco may be obtained from Daw
son Drug Co., and Williams’ Phar
macy, Shellman, Ga., in 5-grain tab
lets, take one after each mcal and
one before retiring at night. Tchy
cost little, are absolutely harmless,
are pleasant to take and are design
ed to reduce fatty acenmulations in
the system wherever lecated.
A few days’ treatment should show
a noticeable reduction in weight, the
flesh should become fitmn, the skin
smooth and the gerneral health im
proved, in fact your footsteps should
even become lighter, your work seem
easier and a lighter and more buoy
ant feeling take possession of your
whole being. 3
Every person who is 10 or 20
pounds over normal weight should
surely give this treatment a irial.
You will probably find that it is just
what you need.
