RANDOLPH’S REGISTRANTS
Classified By County and
District Boards
THE FIRST 653 SENT UP TO DIS
TRICT BOARD BY LOCAL BOARD
Number in Class I in Randolph
The Local Exemption Board for
Randolph was instructed to prepare
first class, I, for the district board, and
to leave claims in classes II, lU, and
IV until later;
This is done in order to procure as
early as possible the first quota to
complete the first draft, which is in
complete, there being due fi'om this
county 29 of Randolph’s quota of 117
for the National Army. The Local
Board for Randolph has not competed
certification of .class I to the District
Board. . There are 653 registrants so
certified in class I, forty-two of whom
• appealed, not being satisfied with their
classification. Some of the appellants
claim they should have been classified
with dependent relatives.
Three hundred and sixty-nine in
Class i who did not appeal from local
Board to the district board.
Two hundred and forty-two were
placed in class I by the Local Board,
for the reason that their classification
either for agricultural or industrial
claims over which the Local -Board
had no jurisdiction, and they v/ere au
tomatically appealed or referred to the
District Board.
There will be a fev/ more registrants
in Class 1 ‘.certified to the District
Board within the next week. As to
other classifications the Local Board
will certify them as early as they can
get them, properly arranged for class
ification and certification.

The War-Savings Fund
imposrib’e for any of the companies to
coi;i;jly with Pie oitjM hc-ur drill sched
ule. All the di-ills have been conduct
ed in the mcrs hall. Friday moi-ning
the sun really sent fox-tlx a few rays of
light and the i-egimcntal commander
took advantage of the opportunity and
imodiatoly had di-ill call sounded. All
the boys were g7ad to get on the drill
field once moi-e, and one of the higher
a.uthorities said that he was absolutely
sux-pi-iscd at the way K company drill
ed after having been absent fi-om the
drill field as long as they had. Some
fe\wdays ago the new regimental com
mander, Col. Cochrane, a i-egular aimr
officer who is in command during the
absence of the former commander, Col.
Minor, decided that he wanted to give
the thii-d battalion the “once over” and
Company K is a member of this unit
and as usual made a pei-fect mark with
the new colonel. Of course, all the
men are proud of this compliment and
will of course, do all in their power to
hold up the good recoi-d that they now
have and as a matter of fact, always
have had.
Some few months ago a little pack
age came to regimental headquarters.
This little package contained about
four thousand small cai-ds known to
the soldiers as qualification cards.
Each member of the division was re
quired to fill out one. of these eax'ds and
send it in to regimental headquai-ters.
Some of the men wondered why the
division commander wanted to find out
so much about them. Yesterday this
question was answered. TJie division
pex-sonnel officer got an order to send
about seven hundred mechanic.s to

I am glad to inform the people of
Randolph that K Company did not
suffer for want of fuel during the
past few weeks of fi-eeziiig weather.
A sufficient amount of coal was
lU'oaght to the company daily with the
exception of one or two days, the roads
wore so slick at was impossible for
th.? wagons to tx-avel. The plucky
boys_ realized the condition of things
but instead of getting under tli^r
blankets and wondering when peace
would be declared they shouldered
their axes and sefoutYoi- the woods,
and soon returned with enough wood
to last every family in Asheboro at
least a month.
I am_ glad to say that the health
record in the company is improving
by leaps and jumps. William ttpoeu
who has been suffering with'pneumo
nia is in the base hospital is getting
along fine and without a doubt will,
be able to x-etui-n to his company in
about a week. Pi-ivate Spoon has been
sick for several weeks but has re
ceived the very best medical attention
possible.
I wish that all the mothers and
fathers could come down to Camp Se
vier and watch their sons prepare to
“lick the Kaiser.” It is one of the
most beautiful sights I ever saw in
my life. All these young noble men
who are giving their all for the. love
of thoiv country—fighting for mother
and making the world safe for the fu
ture generations. I often wonder how
any young man can remain at liome
and watch his fellow man go fox-ward
into battle while they sit at home by
-he light of the fii-e.
