CAPITOL N GRASP ; pm IfTT1 Vr (II hi IK 1 lU 1 lUlV - CEWED CVQTF IlI uEifVlLll U I U 1 EllVl This afternoon the McCrary force is planning to cut through Main street with their big ma chine, which will be, we under stand, the last excavation neces sary to be made before the work is considered finished. This will be good news to the people of this town who have waited patiently for some sign of completion of this work, so that there might be some attempt made to get the streets in shape, and those who have expressed themselves lately that it would be next winter before the sewerage work was completed will be the best pleased of all. With a people so alive to the good things of life to have streets of their town in the shape they are at present, is, to say the least, exasperating, and still they know full well the absurdity of any improvement while there was more cutting to be done. No then that we begin to see the light there will be plans afoot in plenty for the needed street improvements that this town so sadly needs, and which she so richly deserves.

There are so many music lov- ers jn this section, many of whom have had musical educations, that it is to them a real treat to hear a voice so highly trained, and with such natural sweetness, as Miss Dicie Howell's, so that it is a safe prediction that Ma dry's Opera House will be filled when she gives her recital.

( Msiy BM Fir IPeac WAR LABOR NOT 1 DRAFT (BY UNITED PRESS) Washington, July 10. The United States will sift out the men to make up the new armies, and the exemptions will be strongly marked along the line of laborers that will be needed to supply and equip the armies. It is the desire of the adminis tration to evade the mistake,-; made by England at the outset of the wrar. Those required to produce food, clothing, munitions and supplies will be held free from the recruiting officers,and the government will even fee these men in order to keep them on their jobs for the duration of the war. A corps of industrial workers will begin a list of industrial es sentials so as to guard against a slackening of essential labor in the fields where the army needs such backing and support. f E. L.
