The above men were enlisted, in the rating of apprentice seaman, were transferred to the Naval training station, Hampton Roads, Va. Persons, who have registered for selective service are enligible for enlistment iri the U. S. Navy. A statement issued by the Secretary of Navy is quoted for information: "There is an apparent misunderstanding on the part of those citizens who have registered for selective service, may have the mistaken idea that once they have registered, they can no longer voluntarily enlist in the U. S. Navy. Such is not the case, and the Navy Department has issued the following instructions to the Navy Recruiting Service: "When applicants who are eligible for Selective Service present | themselves, and are qualified as I "desirable applicants' in accordance with 'Instructions for the I Recruiting Service of the United | States Navy', the Local Board, | Selective Service, should be in| formed of their names."

The vote was 1145 to 466, these figures including Hoods Creek, Leland, Southport, Mosquito, Sup- Jl) ply and Shallotte precincts. However, the general opinion appeared to be that if the county could H take care of her local Demo- m crats, the nation could tend to JDj the presidential race, and most In of the results of this race were not phoned in. The same is true of state and district contests. J. M. Brough- III ton, Democratic candidate for n ! governor, appeared to be headed j|| ! for a record majority, and Con- jj?l 1 gressman J.
