Roanoke Herald Volume V. Number 1 1 S. FORSTER CHARGED WITH EVADING DRAFT! Lecal H..Wr i. Diffinky Om Atf Discrepancies Sbewn hj Ttx Lists. Kn ws ef f re Geraia Tendencies PLACED IN JAIL YESTERDAY Failing to satisfy the Hali fax County F.xcmption Hoard as to his being beyond the draft age, Mr. S. Forster was placed in the Roanoke Rapids jail on last Thursday afternoon and is now held subject to the the or ders of the Exemption Hoard. Mr. Forster's trouble develop ed over the fact that a scrutiny of the tax lists for HUB showed that he had listed his age in that year as twenty eight In 1917 he listed his ape as thirty one, while this wx'k, when listing taxes, he swore that he was thirty three years old. He was arrested on Thursday morning, and taken before the Exemption Board in Weldon for examina tion, after which he was brought back to Roanoke Rapids, and placed in jail. . Mr. Forster was informed by the Exemption Board that the production of his marriage cer tificate of six years back, show-1 ing his age, would have weight with the Board, and he has wired his wife, who is now in Wilmington, Del., to forward this certificate at once. He seems, however, from remarks made to his guard, harassed w ith doubts as to whether this certificate, when it arrives, will check up with his statements made to the Board, ami he made the Board a proposition this morning that he be allowed to enter the army as a volunteer, j This proposition was promptly declined by Mr. Shaw, Chair man of the Board, and Mr. Fors ter was informed that if he cared to plead guilty to draft evasion, he would be taken to camp under guard as a deserter immediately, otherwise, the matter would be thoroughly investigated and a decision arrived at, pending which development Mr. Forster would remain in jail. At this hour, Mr. Forster has decided to attempt to prove to the Board that he is beyond the draft age, his defense being that his wife listed his taxes for him one year and stated his age in correctly. There are reports from many sources that both Mr. Forster and his wife had made unpatrio tic and pro-German remarks since the entry of America into the war. These are being sifted out by Mayor J. T. Chase and it is pocofbfe that action may fol low later in this connection. Mr. Forster is a native of Wheeling, W. Va. He has been a resident of Roanoke Rapids for several years and although never very popular here, was generally considered a quiet, law abiding citizen. First Christian Church Gleanings Tne Children's Day exercises were very much enjoyed and the Tabernacle was filled despite the extremely warm evening. The Minister was in Enfield last Sunday morning.

C JUNE 7, 1918 Anti-Dancing Resolutions Whereas we read in the Holy word of God: Philippians 2:5-"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus." 2 Cor. 5:20-'Now then we are ambassadors (representa tives) for Christ" Rom. 12:2. "Be not conform ed to the world." 1 Peter 2:9-"But ye are a cnuscn Kciieri.iuu. rvu prieM- hood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth a darkness into his marvel lous light" John 15:19, Jesus says, "I have chosen you out of the world" Acts 1:8, Jesus says: ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and jn Samaria and unto the utter most part of the earth". And whereas, there, and many other similar portions of Scripture throughout God's word, are addressed directly to the fol lowers of Christ (Church mem bers); we are, therefore, con vinced that the church should be composed of regenerated (re born) believers called out of the world, filled with the mind of Christ worthily witnessing for Him, properly representing Him as true Ambassadors, and ever uncompromising in its fight against the powers of darkness and strongholds of Satan. And whereas, in view of the foregoing Scriptures and conscientious convictions, and being fully persuaded that the spirit and associations of the modern promiscuous dance is contrary to the Lord's teaching, hurtful to the individual, and detrimental to the cause of Christ, be it therefore resolved: 1. That we the members of the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church and Sunday School do hereby, with tender love and deep solicitude, most earnestly request our members to refrain from attending, and indulging in modern dancing. 2. That the Church and school furthermore desire to go on re cord as being opposed to any of its officers, teachers, choir mem bers, or otherwise leaders in the church work, dancing or fre quenting dancing halls, and here by respectfully request, that if there be any such officer, teach er, choir member, or leader, who will not desist from dancing, to resign his position in the church. (These resolutions were sub mitted by the pastor, the deacons heartily concurring, voted upon at a joint session of the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church and Sun day School, and passed by prac tically a unanimous vote, Sun day May 26, 1918.) Baptist Revival The special revival services now in progress at the Roanoke Rapids Baptist Church are creating a great deal of interest. Large crowds, representing prac tically every part of the com munity, are attending these ser vices. Rev. J. W. Kincheloe, pastor First Baptist Church Rocky ( Mountf i8 doing the preaching in these meetings and is captivating the large congregations with his pleasing personality and power ful messages. Rev. Kincheloe is 100 per cent American, and waxes very war like in some of his utterances with reference to "The Big Fight". A special meeting for men will be held Sunday at 3:30 P. M., at which time Bro. Kincheloe will speak on "God's Challenge to Men". Presbyttrian Church Rer. Stanley White, Pastor Sunday School 10:00 A. M. J. T. Chase, Superintendent There will be no church ser vices Sunday on account of the absence of the pastor. ving by the System a . II onor Raleigh, June 7- The conserv ation division of the ftd Admin istrotion at Washington, which has at its command the leading dieticians of the country, has outlined practical easy and systematic plan for voluntary rationing by consumers who de sire to render their contry and humanity the patriotic service of substituting nonexportablo pro- ducts for wheat, su-ar. and oth- er products that must be shipped to our Allies. The suggested plan follows: Those who are able should ab stain from the use of w heat until the next harvest. Those depending upon t aker's bread should use only small necessary quantities of ictory Bread.

MEATS ! i As we are entering the sparse marketing season, it is necessary to economize to the utmost in the cosumption of all meats and poul- j try, substituting milk, eggs and fish. MILK Milk should be used liberally j as a food, not merely as a bever age. Milk and cheese in their various forms replace meat.
