After spending the greater part of the day at liome near West's Mill with his family, "Uncle Jim" made his way to the old Deal home place pn Route 4 Sunday afternoon to receive the congratu lations and gifts of the family with which he has been associated lor the greater part of his life. Monday , morning bright and early, he was on the streets of Franklin to remind his many white friends here that he had passed another mile-stone and that a little celebration would not be amiss. Among the many gifts that he re ceived was one ' from the Macon County Chapter of the - United Daughters of the Confederacy. . As a body servant of Col. Clinton Huger, "Uncle Jim" witnessed the opening of the War Between the States when Fort Sumter was fired on in 1861. After a year in the field 'with Col. Huger as a hostltir, during which lie was present at a number of battles, the young negro was sent with members of his family to Anderson, S. C, where they were sold witn other slaves to John ' Cowen, then to Abraham Taylor, who brought them to Ma con county. Uncle Jim's" mother and her youngest son were sold to James routs, of the lotla community of this county and grandfather of Dr. J. H. Fouts, of Franklin. Mr. Tay lor planned to take Jim with' him to Stccoah, Graham county, but when the young negro learned that he was about to be separated from the other members of his family he hid in the woods and was even tually sold to James Deal of this county. This was in 1863. Mr. Deal paid $1,200 for the boy, then about- 13 years old. : . When the Deal men enlisted in the army of the Confederacy, 'Uncle Jim" was left behind to mount guard over the old home place. After he was freed the ne gro remained a year longer with his former master and was given cow and two suits of clothes for his service. Soon . after his reedom, a school for negro chil dren was organized in the Cowee vicinity, which Jim attended for four months and where he learned to read and write. , Dcupite his age, "Uncle Jim" is still , able to manage his 100 acre farm which he has owned for the past 37 years and on which he raises garden truck, wheat, corn, poultry and livestock. The first of every month, he comes into Frank lin, walking w hen he cannot ob tain a ride, to draw his pension from the state. He carries himself easily and erectly, and might eas ily he mistaken for a man 20 years his junior. . Lottery To Determine When Men Will Be Called Oct. 29 Secretary Of War To Draw First Number From Bowl Blindfolded by a cloth taken from the1 upholstery of a chair, that stood in Independence Hall when the constitution was signed,' Secre tary of War Stimson will reach into a glass bowl next 'Tuesday, October 29, to draw the first num ber in a public lottery to deter mine the order in which last Wed nesday's 17,000,000 will be called up for military service. Men will be called to training 800,000 by next June IS in the order in which their numbers are drawn from the bowl, unless they volunteer without , waiting to be called or unless they are deferred from service. Plans for the lottery were com pleted this week at a conference between Dr. Clarence A. Dykstra, recently-appointed director selec tive service, and President ' Roose velt. The president will be present at the historic ceremony which be-' gins at noon and which will prob ably be broadcast. The'- cloth and bowl are the sanle ones that were used in 1917 when Secretary of War Newton D. Baker drew the first number for the World War draft. It was 258. . After Stimson draws the first number, .subsequent numbers will be drawn by other high-ranking officials. The drawing will continue until numbers from 1 to a number high enough to cover the largest number of registrants in any one local board area. Dykstra estimates that it will take 12 hours to com plete the drawing, five hours less time than, in 1917. The 6,500 local selective service boards throughout the country are now laying the groundwork for the lottery,, shuffling the 17,000,000 reg istration cards signed last Wed nesday, and assigning numbers that range from 1 up to the total num ber of registrants in any one board area. To illustrate how the system will work: If the first number drawn. is 2,051, every registrant in the country holding that serial num ber on his draft .board card will be the first in his area to be called. Fulfilling A Pledge On May 1 8, 1939, when the Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee wa formed, a definite and sincere promise was made to the '' public We pledged the beer industry's aid to law-enforcement agencies to the end that retail beer dealers operate lawfully and in the public interest. The committee believes its pledge has been ful filled. During the past 1 7 months it has aided the authorities in ridding the state of 131 unde sirable beer outlets 107 by revocation, one by surrender and 23 by Tefueal to renew licenses. You can help by restricting your patronage to those places which obey the law. 7 Brewers and North Carolina Beer Distributors Committee EDGAR H.
