MS BOWIE THE CIRCQUITION OP ALL OTHER PfIPEiS IN THE GOQWTT VOL XVIII. NO. 36. THE NAMES OF MARTIN One Hundred and Seventeen Men Will Complete the Quota Required by the War Department. Names Drawn Number Two Hundred and Seventy-Five. One Hundred and Nineteen are Colored Men. Lefender Yarrell was Number Two Fifty Eight. THE LIST AS FIIRNIS Friday afternoon, when the numbers of those drawn in the selective draft commenced to be received over the wire?, the peo ple of Williamston became in- tenseiy interested in the matter. All that morning there had been v tiiens of feverish anxiety among yipui races, and the announce- of the numbers added greatly to the effect, y Martin County's quota was 145 and as 28 had already enlisted only 117 were needed to complete the quote. Every newspaper has been scanned eagerly by those registering and others al so, to find the numbers of those liable to the draft. Many voung men worried not over the publi cation of their numbers, while others found their spirits sink ing, tho none wanted to shirk the training to be given by the war department. - The first name on the-tist-w-iU be called first and so on until 117 are called. It is reasonable to suppose that some will be ex empted for various reasons, and it may be necessary to double the the number, irraktng a total of 234 to be examined before the full quota is furnished. The first 117 on the list will be called first and then the next 117, if neces sary to secure the proper number The first Martin County man to be drawn was Lefender Yar rel!. colored, who Jives in Wil liams Township. Two iiundred and seventy-five names of coun ty men were drawn up to the lia bility number of 1310. The list published below, while not offi cial, has been carefully made out from the list furnished by the newspapers and the books of the Exemption Board of the county. If there are any corrections, they will be made when the offi cial books are furnished the Board by the War Department, which will probably be done this week.

C., FRIDAY JULY 27. [917 Prof. Jerome And Family Leave Five years apo, Prof. J. T Jer ome accepted the principalship of the Williamston Graded School, and this year resigned to accept the position of superintendent of public instruction of Hoke County and of the school at Raeford. During the work of Prof. Jerome at Williamston, many advances have been made in the education al system of the school, and no man has ever labored more dili gently to maintain a high stan dard of instruction among the pupils, who came under his su pervision. This year, he hai seen signs of the fruition of his hopes—that of the plans for a modern school building, same be ing in course of erection now. While in the town, his citizen ship was of that order which makes for the uplift of every man. woman and child ii) the community, and he gave of his best to advance the religious thought of the people among whom he labored. He and Mrs. Jerome formed many strong friendships here, and there is deep regret that they planned to go elsewhere. Mrs Jerome was one of the most popular matrons in the town, and was interested in the social, religious and club life of the community. They and their little daughter, Annie Brown, left Wednesday for Jack son to visit Mrs. Eugene Bowers, their sister Take Care of Your Tobacco A farmer cannot help his to bacco being washed thin by rains. But he can keep it suckered, which damages tobacco worse on an average than rain. But the greatest of all, he should and must take of his to bacco after it is cured. The man who goes to the trouble to grow and cure tobacco and then let it get too damp and ruin, is guilty of gross negligence. When it i« raining every day as it is now and has been doing recently, to bacco should be taken out of the curing barn as dry as possible, packed down as close as can be and covered over with some old bagging, canvas or even old gua no sacks, if washed clean, will serve. Don't lose half of the value of your crops by letting it get too high in order and mould and rot. Every farmer knows that dam aged tobaccoVill not bring a high a high price. Look after it care fully each day and don't pack it on an old floor, which is .near the damp earth. lor, Jas J Rogerson, Austin Barn hill n, Ola Gray Carson, Wm L Pallard, A S Edmonson, Geo Hy man Martin, Chas Freeman n, M A Leggett, Dexter Whitehead n, Geo K Bell, JnoA Page, Jno E Edmonds, Paul Cherry n, Geo Drew n, Sylvester Williams n, Jerry Bennett n, Jas E Pate, *W T Pritchett, Jno D Matthews, J H Ayers, Clyde Tyner n, Clear ance Mauson n, L D Hodges, Si mom D Roberson, J P Haggard, M L Bennett, Jas Grimes, n..

I SAILED FOR FRANCE FRIDAY The Columbus (Ohio) Evening Dispatch, of July 10th, contains the pictures of the honor men of the first Aviation Squadron to leave the Ohio University for ,France. The face of J. Wiggins Jr., appears therein, he having been in training for | months and recently graduated from the school of training at the University at Columbus Ohio. There are eight young men with Watts, and these with him showed the greatest profici ency in the preliminary training at 0. S U. at Ft. Wood, N- Y. They sailed for service on Friday morning of last week, and it is predicted that thev will win dis tinction "somewhere in France." Aviator Watts has many friends and relatives, here anil in the State, who will watch his career and wish for him a safe return to his native shores after the war is over. He is the first man from williamston to go to France and whatever honors he may win will reflect honor upon the town of his birth. Another Honor Poll Wednesday morning, twenty one voung men, who had pre viously enlisted in the army, left Martin County to join the ranks of Carolinians who are going forth in defence of American right?. A greater number of these men |re from Jamesville, and that tbwn and community has the honor of sending more men to Ihe army than any other part of the county. The time'may come when these young men will write their names unun the pages of American history, as the bravest of the bravo. Martin County'* history in the past may be re peated in the deeds of her sons in the present great struggle. The names of these men from Jamesville are, Joseph L Godard James W. Barnes, George E. Moore, H. Hardison, Jesse C. Stubbs, 'William L. Hopkins, Church W, Hardison. Sylvester L. Moore, Joseph L. Hardison. Himon S. Griffin, Vester L. Simp son, Leo R. Gardner; from Will jiamston, Lloyd B. Koberson, Hu ! Bert C- Roberson, Henry F. Mi | zelle, James H. Mobley, John D. ' Mizelle, Noah S. Godard; from i Ilobersonville. Charlie A. James, |H. L. James, Asa C. Singleton. Struck By Lightning Tuesday afternoon, during a j heavy shower, the kitchen of ' Samuel C. Ray on the corner of j Biggs and Beach Streets, was j struck and badly damaged, ihe electricity escaping on the elec tric light wires which run thru the house. Two of the children in the family were lying .on a bed in the vicinity of where the lightning struck, but felt no in convenience afterwards, how ever, it was a narrow escape for them. There was much damage done to the electric wires near the building.. Lightning also entered the din ing room of J. G. Godard, shat tering the light fixtures- and breaking the plastering. It is thought to have entered on the water pipe which connects with the bathroom. No one in the house was shocked at the time. Mrs. Fred Gardner went to Everetts yesterday to visit rela tives. Look on inside of paper for your draft number. > The Red Cross Auxiliary Now that the call to the Nation has become greater, the effort to provide whatever the individual citizen can should grow in de termination. Some time ago a Red Cross Auxiliary was formed here and many of the first women and men in the town joined-the men being simply members bv virtue (if the fact that they con-j tributed to the fund. The actual work was done by the hand of women, as usual, wheft it is a case of helping the'sick and wounded either in peace or war. For some weeks, the attendance at the weekly meetings was good, but then the number to fall off. Why this is true, no one knows. It is Purely not a case of indifference to the needs of sol*" diers who must do or die on the battlefields of France' It is just Williamston's way of attending to things; when anything is in augurated, everybody wants to join, and the enthusiasm is boil ing over; in a few weeks, it be comes an old thing and new fields are sought for diversion, if you please, Thi» is not the time for slackness, but self-sac rifice and work. Added Another to The Pile Deputy Ed James and SheritT Page nabbed another still Mon day near Hassell on the farm of Hugh Pitts,4 colored man. There were several barrels of the cider concoction, which was to have been made into something strong er, and the stuff was about ready for the kettle. The cider was destroyed and the kettle was broffjrht-ftway to add to the col lection already in ".lie hands of the sheriff. There was no one "at home" wh u n the ollicers called, and so no protests were made. ■ One by one the nilicers are gethering the kettles in, but folks will still persist in wrong and brave the danger of being hauled up before a Federal Judge. Knocked Down And Kicked Late Saturday afternoon, Chris \V. Sides, auto machinist who has worked for W. L. Stalls for a number of months, went into the garage where Stalls was and commenced to cursa and abuse Stalls about the payment of a bill which had been presented to Sides. The latter was drunk, a condition he often gets in, and his abuse angered Stalls so that he knocked Sides down and then proceeded to kick him. Stalls is very muscular and weighs over 200 pounds,/while Sides weighs but little more than 100 pounds. The knocks that Sides received rendered him unconscious, and he lay so still that Stalls| feared 'that he had killed him, so getting in an automobile, he went out on Main Street extension to await developments. Physicians ren dered aid to Sides, and he was able in a short while to walk down town, though badly bruised about the face and head. In the meantime Stalls was informed of the result of his attack and came back to town. Monday the case was heard by Justice Godwin, and a fine of $2 50 was placechvon Stalls and each of the men paTthone-half of the. cost. Jesse T. Price, local represent ative of the Jefferson Standard Life Insurance Co., left for Ash ville last Saturday on a pleasure trip at the expense of the com pany. This courtesy he received because he had sold SIOO,OOO worth of insurance. gßi.oo a Year in Advance TO MANAGE THE BRICK WAREHOUSE As announced previously, Mr. W. A. James will manage the Brick Warehouse, which is being erected by a co-operative 'Com pany of which Mr. J, Dawson Lilley is President, Mr. W. C. Manning, Vice-President, and Roy T. Griffin, Secretary-Treas urer. In the issue of last week, an error occurred in an article referring to the opening of the Brick Warehouse. It was inad verdently stated that Joe Tay lor, Mc Moblev and J. W. Hight would be associated with Mr. James in the management of the Brick Warehouse. This error crept in as errors often do in every paper, and the correction is made so that the public may better understand who will beat the several warehouses on the Williamston ma r k e t.' Messrs. Taylor. Moblev and Hitfht are owners and proprietors of the Farmers Warehouse, and have no connection with the Brick Warehouse nor has W. A. James any connection with the Farmers Warehouse. It is earnestly hoped that this explanation will be sufficient to satisfy all concerned in the mat ter. The hnnouncement of the opening of the tobacco market on the first page of the issue, and the advertisement of the Brick Warehouse Co., were am ply sufficient to have prevented any controversy over the smaller -ftrtielo, but, perhaps, the pub lic failed to read them. Family Of Agent Andrews Here The family of Mr. j. C. An drews, agent of the A. C L. Railroad here, arrived from P.ob ersonville Saturday and are occu pying the residence lately owned and occupied hv T C. Cook pnd family, near the station. Mrs. Andrews is a native of William -Bton and many friends and rela tives here are pleased to welcome her and her family to the town, and hope that, they will find Williamston as pleasant as the home they have .just left. Mrs. Andrews is the niece of Mrs. W. II Crawford and Mrs. J. W. Watts - * Another Strong Endorsement Wheeler Martin, Sec. &Treas., Martin County Bldg. & Loan, Williamston, N. 0. Dear Sir: — I am glad to see your announce ment of the opening of the 6th series of stock in your company, for nothing so improves a com munity as a live Building and Loan Association. It has already built many homes in this county, and fur nishes the best security for small savings of anything in existance today. Many saye and have money, who would never save a penny. Many build who* would never have had a house otherwise. The unchangeable rule is that no live town of much size can be found without a Building and Loan Association. Respectfully, W. C. Manning. Harry A. Biggs and Hugh B. Anderson with Mrs. Fannie Biggs Mrs. Carrie Williams,' Mrs. A. T. Crawford and little Frances Williams left for Panacea Springs yesterday. Miss Josephine Davis, of Nor folk, is the guest of her aunt, 1 i Mrs. Wheeler Martin,
