be called up for several weeks. Some
time in September was the time sug
gested in official c-lrc?fs today. And
it likely will be well' along toward
the last of that month before the men
are assembled at the camps where
they are to be whipped into shape ase
a real fighting force.
Drawing Pleases Officials.
Officials today were nighly delight
ed over the success of the drall
drawing. A new problem had been
met and solved. While the original
plans had been upset by fallure of
officials to observe concrete instruc
tions, there was a feeling in official
eircles that maybe, after all, the plan
Jut through yesterday was the best,
LAt least, it gave each individual his
oewn opportunity instead of having
him chosen “en bloe.”
If prellminary advices are any cri
terion, there will not be the rush that
was expected for exemption. From
every section of the country tele
grams were received here today and
they indlcated that the “campaign
of education” put through by the
Administration to remove the stigma
usually attached to “drafted” has been
guccessful, The reports say that the
majority of the men called in the first
drawing have accepted the fact
philogsophically and that in most cases
they have welcamed the opportunity
for service. This fact is especially
pleasing to officials who, now that the
draft is an actuality, admit that they
have been more or less apprehensive
about the result,
No Serious Resistance Expected,
Reports of organizations formed at
certain places to resist the draft have
no confirmation here, It is admitted
that there will be a certain proportion
of men called who will endeavor to
keep from serving. But it is not ex
pected that any such movement will
be formidable, The country is aware
that the war must be fought to a fin
fsh, and public opinfon is solldly
aligned now in favor of the present
method of securing an army.
Officials said today that they be
lieved exemptions to persons having
dependents will be reasonably easy on
the first call, There are so many
eligibles who have no dependents, it
i# explained, that officials are ex
pected to endeavor to make the ex
emptions absolutely fair. And until
the Government can make some ar
rangement for caring for families of
men sent to the front, it is not ex
pected that hardships will be imposed
on women and children by forcing
the lreadwinners to serve.

Division No. 1 Will Have to Fur
nish Heaviest Share of Any
District in the City.
Atlanta is called upon to supply 882
soldlers by the selectiye draft, it was
estimated unofficially Saturday by the
State authorities, and the State of
Georgia's quota was 18,837, These
were the net fijgure, after all credits
for volunteers had been made. "The
city’s original quota was 2,262, but
she was credited with 1,370, while the
State’s gross quota was 27,162,
The Adjutant General's office had
not reached the matter of city di
visions Saturday, but the best figures
avallable gave the following as the
number of men to be called from each
divisigp, each number peing twice the
number of men desired, in order to
allow for exemptions:
Total
No. Reg. Reg. P. C. Called.
o i .0 O 17.6 308
el ... 50D 12,6 230
U R 12.6 230
e 1 e BIDY 17.6 306
L LA 15.4 260

N T3O A 0 14.6 254
Total .... 10,40 100. 1,764
County’s Quota 264,
The county, outside eity, must fur
nish 264 men, 80 528 will be called for
examination,
These figures were reached by
doubling the city's quota, in order to
allow for 50 per cent of exemption,
and finding the proportion of the
number registered in each division to
the total registered in the city. Di
vigion No. 1 contains 17.5 per cent
of the total, o it musi furnish 17.5
per cent of the 1,764 mén to be called
for examination. The figures will be
close to the official announcements.
It is easy, therefore, for any man
whose name was drawn to ascertain
whether or not he is likely to be called
for examination soon. If his number
did not fall in the first 808 he has
hardly a chance to be included in the
first call. If he lives in Division No.
3 he i safe If he Is above 176 in the
rawing.
It will be a week, probably, before
the official lists are ready and the
men to be examined notified by mail.
They will be selected in the exact or
der in which their numbers were
drawn, the same numehrs applying
in all divisions. Failure to receive
this official notification will be no ex
cuse, so registercd men should look
up their numbers in The Georgian
and see whether they are toward the
head of the list,
The men will be examined by the
division exemption boards, and it is
here that their claims for exemption
will be heard and considered. In case
the number called at first proves in
sufficient, because of more than 50
per cent. of exemptions, the board
will call as many more as it deems
necessary, proceeding exactly in the
eorder of the lists published today.
Must Report in Seven Days.
Men ordered to examination must
report within seven days or be posted
as called and not exempted and be
subject to penalty,
The War Department estimates
that 687,000 men will be needed for
the first contingent of the new army,
s 0 the number to be ordered up for
examination in the United States will
be 1,874,000,
Local exemption. boards will pass
upon claims based on physical condi
tion and dependent families, but
claims based on the nature of one's
employment must go to the distriet
boards, unless such employment or
cecupation is speciflcally exempted in
the selective draft act.

HE Judge had a shoe box full ¢f something under his arm,
and the Retail Man naturally accused him of having re
ceived a package from Chattanooga or Louisville. But the
Judge had an alibi.
e ‘Just got home from that barbecue
2o down at Griffin,” he said. ‘“This is some of
! || the left-overs. Uncle Sam is advising ns
"m" |inot to waste food, you know, and I'm
I r. X ] trying to do my share.”

[[do in Griffin? Isn’t that the town the
|
[ D ]<vuudevme comedians choose fcr all the
; i \ || local small-town gags?”
| { “It is,” admitted the Judge. “Some
| & (2 ! body started it in the days when the min-
Y || strel show was a novelty, and the comedi-
A; IR lans would as soon introduce a new joke
i 8l ||as a new town for a local gag. And all of
,{ r |lus would sit back and laugh, not because
|| S ||it was especially funny or because we knew
{l ; ; ifanything bad about Grifin, but because it
if || was expected of us.
|| I “But I paid my first visit to that tewn
i,‘ T !ithis week, except for speeding through in
I i : |la friend’s car on the way,fiw Macon. And
ii ; ? ||after the barbecue the citizens came along
I : ||in handsome new auvtomobiles and took us
! 5 || for a trip through the town. It kinder woke
|5 i || some of us up.
| “Mayor Woods Hammord showed ine
around, by chance. He took our party over |§
_, the modern business district, with its vitri
¥, fied brick paving and its wide streets with
gy parks in the middle, and then out the resi-
I dence streets lined with roomy, comforta
=== hle-looking houseés. “
“‘We are getting ready to pave these home streets all the
way out, several miles in all,’ he told me. ‘We have the bond issue
put through, and the money all raised. Don’t you think we have
a nice little town down here?’
“And I answered him very sincerely when I toldfixlm it looked
good enough to move into to stay, provided a man could see a
way to make a living, which I couldn’t in my line.
“But Griffin looked so clean and so placid and so entirely happy
over life that it offered something particularly attractive. There
was a wedding going on somewhere down the street, and the guests
were passing in new automobiles. They were dressed just the
same as any guests at a Druid Hills wedding would dress, and they
all seemed to know each other and be friendly. And it made me
almost wish I could move right into one of those homey-looking
houses a block or so away from the main street and be friends
with everybody in town.
“Honest, T think they ought to arrest the next alleged come
dian that cracks a cheap_gag about Griffin, and send him to live
there thirty days. It wouldn't be a punishment so much as a
reformation. He’d find some other place to poke fun of if he went
back into vaudeville—but probably he'd look around and find a
vacant store to rent—if there is one-—-and settle down into a nice
* little business. L know that’'s what I'd do.” -

Negro Chauffeur Charged With
Killing Alabama Woman to
/ .
Know Fate Soon.
MOBILE, ALA., July 21.—The case
of Albert Sanders, a negro taxi chauf
feur, charged with being an accessory
in the sensational murder of Mrs. Ju
lia May Hess, of Fulton, Ala.,, on May
21 last, which occupied the attention
of the Circuit Court since July 19,
went to the jury today,
Fisher Brooks, the condemned mur
derer of Mrs. Hess, was the star wit
ness for the defense. In his testi
mony Brooks took al Ithe blame upon
himself, but at the evening session
Fred Bush, a prisoner at the jail,
blasted the whole story as told by
the condemned man.
Bush was introduced on behalf of
the State. The witness testified that
when Sanders returned to the jail
Thursday afternoon after the trial in
the courtroom isher Brooks asked
him how things were looking, to which
query Sanders replied: “It looked
brighter.”
Brooks Takes Blame.
Brooks then said, the witness con
tinued, that he would go on the stand
Friday and help Sanders out, and that
he would tell the truth on the scaffold.
In his testimony, Brooks, who gave
his real name as Mose Opptoon, took
all the bleme on himself, and said
that Sanders had nothing to do with
the crime. He was an unwilling wit
ness, while the courtroom was filled,
and kept saying over and over again,
“I'm so erazy I don’t know what is
passing in my mind.”
When ~ounsel for the defense tried
to draw out of him the story of the
murder, he begged to be taken out and
hanged, saying that he came In the
courtroom to clear an innocent man
and didn’t want to go through the or
deal of narrating the frightful story
of his awful erime,
Courtroom Cleared.
Brooks wasg in the act of being Ais
missed from the stand when Judge
Leigh asked him if he would tell the
jury the full story if the courtroom
was cleared. He consented to do so,
and all spectators were sent out.
Brooks immediately changed his de.
meanor., He straightened up in his
chair, stopped twisting his fingers and
hid his face behind his hands, ceased
his mumbling and his stubbornness
vanished.
In clear tones, without hesitation,
and not tripping once or repeating
himself, he told a practically new
story, which makes ahout the sixth or
seventh he has related.

SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1917.
Mrs. Emma Manchester Retains
Her Title of Supreme Guardian
After All the Warfare.
The decisive pattle in the fight be
tween Mrs. Emma B. Manchester,
Supreme Guardian of the Woodmen
Circle, and her opponents, who are
advocating a representative form of
government, was fought at the Satur
day morning session. When the
smoke had cleared the latter were
Geeorated with the wreath of victory.
while Mrs. Manchester still retained
her title of Supreme Guardian.
* The anticipated controversy over
the appointment of fleld agents and
the managfg of the fleld work of
the order burst in all its fury and a
bitter war of words enlivened the
discussion,
Six roll calls were necessary to de
cide the question, but at last the
opponents of Mrs. Manchester gained
their point, carrying by a vote of 40
to 27 the recomme%datlon that the
management”of the field work be ta
ken from the hands of Mrs. Manches
ter and vested in the Supreme Coun
cil, a body composed of thirteen wo
men and elected bty the Supreme For
est, which is composed of all members
of the order.
The strongest ground for the eppo
sition of the a2eg'me was based on
the management of the field work
during the last ten years.
Mrs. G. M. Meadows, in a statement
made public last week, bitterly con
cemned Mrs. Manchester for bring
ing personal differences into the order
and hiring and firing field agents for
personal reasons. Mrs. Meadows
stated that she was one of those
banished from office “to the official
graveyard” by Mrs. Manchester on
account of personal differences.
Mrs. Meadows charged that Mrs.
Manchester deposed from office some
of the most valuable field agents the
order ever had, who had done much
for the upbuilding of the organization.
According to reports, the Texas field
agent was deposed several years ago,
and as a result the membership from
that State dropped off to an alarm
ing extent. The delegates from Tex
ag are the strongest opponents of Mrs.
Manchester at the convention.
Leading in the first against the su
preme guardian have heen Miss Dora
Alexander, of Omaha, supreme clerk,
and Mrs. Mary E. Laßocca, of Min
nesota, supreme adviser.
On account of the many controver
sies, the business of the circle has
been moving slowly. The convention
has yet to consider the reports of the
officers and receive and adopt resolu
tions.
One disagreement bhetween the op
posing factions that will not be de
cided at the convention is. whether a
majority vote of the circle can amend
the laws of the order.. The opposi
tion claim that this provision is em
bodied in the constitution, while the
claim of Mrs. Manchester is that a
'two-thirds vote is necessary.
' The Woodmen Circle has bean in
volved in court litigation for the last
ten years. and it is believed that Mrs.
Manchester will appeal from the vote
of the order in the Supreme Court of
Nebraska.

Hundreds of Atlanta™ Attend First
Sale, Which Is Made Gala
Occasion,
' Hundreds of Atlanta people went to
Decatur Saturday morning to attcnd
the curb market.
The Decatur people decided to make
the day e gala occasion, so they ar
ranged for several speeches, the prin
cipal one being delivered by Charles
J. Haden, president of the Georgia
Chambr of Commerce.
- Mr, Haden made an interesting talk
on the conomic value of the curb
market as a means Oof keeping the
'South’s products in the South for
‘home consumpticn and raising vege
‘tables in back-yard gardens as a
weapon against the “wolf at the door.”
| Frank McMasters, who launched the
curb market and who is a member
of the organization, was highly com
mended by Mr, Haden, who said that
he intended to offer the eriginator of
the market for Congress to succeed
“Bill" Hardwick when that gentleman
dies “‘of old age.” Mr. Haden was in
|trnduced to his audiemce by C. B.
McKenna.
As a method of creating more in
terest in the market and eéncouraging
the residents of Decatur to grow more
and better food crops, prizes will he
offered fcr the most suecessful.
The first prize will be awarded for
the most attractive dispiay at the
market, the judging of the displays to
include quality, quantity and attrac
tiveness of arrangement. The first
prize emblem will be a blue ribbon,
the second prize a red ribbon and all
other prizes white ribbons.
