Officers Capture Still But Operators Escape Deputy Sheriff Tom Maness of Ba din, assisted by another deputy of the itame place, made another haul on the illicit manufacturing of intoxicating drinks Monday afternoon. The dis tillery was located on the old gold mine property between New London and old Whitney. It was running at full capacity at the time of the seizure, but through an abundance of precau tion the owners and operators had placed a large dog on guard which gave the alarm in time for the owners to make their escape in the thicket. While the officers were unable to get the men they were fortunate enough to get a real first class still of about 65-gallon capacity, together with about 25 gallons of the real Stanly county sugar loaf brand of whisky; also quite a lot of what is know- as middlings.

Randolph County Banks Help Along Liberty Loan The people of the county through the five banks of the county have so far subscribed liberally to the Liberty Loan. According the the opinion of the local bankers this county's part will be augmented by additional sub scriptions before noon Friday when the loan will be closed. There has been no local committee in the county work ing for the Liberty Loan, but the bankers and business men of the coun ty have been interested in it and Ramseur and Randleman have held meetings in behalf of it. The total subscriptions for the coun ty is not available, some having been Bank of Randolph reports in the neighborhood of $10,000, and the Peo ple's Bank, at Randleman. $5,000 with prospects of a large increase. The Bank of Liberty is keeping pace with the other banks although no figures nave ben given, There is still time to subscribe to the loan. Today et noon the Liberty Bell, at Philadelphia, will be rung once mariang we Beginning or tne last z hours in wnich the subscriptions Will Oe Closed The latest estimate of the treasury officials is that $1,300,000,000 or the necessary $,000,000,000 turn been subscribed. Veterans Re-elect Gen. Harrison The Confederate Veterans in reun ion in Washington last week re-elected Gen. George P. Harrison of Oklaheima, commander-in-chief and selected Tul sa, Okla., as the place for the 1918 re union. Gen. Julian S. Carr of Durham was chosen lieutenant general, com manding the department of the Army of Northern Virginia. Mr. Phillips Resigns as Secretary and ' Treasurer of Farmers' Mutual Mr. L. C. Phillips, who has for wv eral years been secretary and treas urer of the Farmers' Mutual Fire In surance Association of Randolph Coun ty, resigned the office at a meeting of the executive committee held in the courthouse Saturday. The committee, reluctantly accepted the resignation owing to Mr. Phillips' efficient admin-1 istration of the office. His books were, audited at the meeting and found to be in good condition and full settle-, ment was made. ' SELECTION OF MEN I BEGINS JULY FIRST, Further Explanation of Draft Law and Procedure Given To the Colors September I According to the best information the actual selection of the men to make up America's war army will bi'gin a bout July 1. This is not official out is the general belief. The men who are selected then, how ever, will not be taken into service be fore September 1, because tlie canton ments or war camps, will not be ready for the vast American army unt.l Ihuc time There is much work to be done in the selection of the men who are to make up America's first great fighting fore The question of exemption wul he a bout the broadest one to be decided. President Wilson is expected in a few days to issue a set of rules und regulations for the guidance of exemp tion boards which will be as nearly fol lowed as possible. Local conditions, however, will play an important part in exemption. In every county and citv in the coun try there will be appointed by the pres ident an exemption board which will hear the cases. In addition the presi dent will appoint in every judicial dis trict a board of review. It has been finally decided that drafting will come first and then the exemption. The present indications are that at least 1.000.000 names will lie drawn before the first increment of about ti'.Z (UU is complete. In the event mor men are needed, other names will be drawn The most difficult question of exemp tion, however, will relate to the follow ing paragraph of the selective draft law: "Persons engaged in industries, in cluding agriculture, found to be neces sary to the maintenance of the milita ry establishment, or the effective oper ation of the military forces, or to tlv maintenance of national interests dur the emergency, and those in a status with respect to persons dependent up on them for support, which renders their exclusion or discharge advisable" It is not the intention of the govern ment, it is said, to exempt ah of the classes mentioned in this paragraph. Rather, each case will have to oe ue cided upon its individual merits. American Flotilla Has Been in War one For Oe Monti.

Destructive Earthquake San Salvador, the capital of the re public of Salvador, Central America, with a population of more than 60,000 was totally destroyed by earthquake or volcanic eruption Ihursday niurht. San Salvados is about three miles southeast of the volcano of San Salva dor, and is the seat of government of the smallest but most densely populat ed of the republics of Central America. First record of an earthquake there was in 187.'!, when the entire city was nearly leveled and 50 persons perished. The city which was founded about 1525, is located about 120 miles south east of the town of Guatemala, and is on a small stream which flows into the Pacific ocean. The country of San Salvador itself consists mainly of a plateau about 2, 000 feet above the sea, broken by a large number of volcanic cones. Its population is 1,133,000 and the most recent census places the number of in habitants in the capital at 64,000. A Good Way to Save In encouraging the people of Ameri ca to save it is believed that the Lib erty Loan Bonds are going to per form an important function in our na tional life. The denomination of some of the bonds renders it practical for the ordinary wage earner to purchase one with the savings of a few months, and the banks of the country have un dertaken to provide for the purchase of thesa bonds in small weekly or monthly pay ments. By devoting each week or each month to the purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds such little sums of ready money as are often frittered away tor useless things one can not only acquire property that ranks among the best securities in the history of the world, but can at the same time feet that a patriotic duty has been performed and a habit of saving acquired. Of course the ultimate result of this war will be a victory for America, but what the effects of the war will be upon America and American people is unknown. When such an unknown fu- , ture confronts us prudence ilemanoa that contingencies be provided for. No one knows how great a help sav ings invested in a Liberty Loan Bond may be a few years hence. And your savings not only will bo absolutely secure but will be constant ly bringing in interest an income ab solutely free from taxation and ab solutely certain. There are other possibilities they might be called probabilities and one is that the Liberty Loan Bonds, when peace comes and money now in active industrial use will be seeking quiet in vestment, may bring a handsome pre mium. The Liberty Loan Bonds offer every incentive to saving easy payments, absolutely safe security, a service done to the country, and a probable hand some profit. Company K Is 99 strong With the addition of nine waits obtained this week and the tatter part of last week, Company K has a total of 99 men, still 51 men below the ns quired war strength. A few of these will be eliminated in the physical ex aminations, hence the officers of the local company are eager to secure more than the required numbe'r.
