Lackey - Gel Big Batch of Cart's to be Used When Drafting of Soldiers Begins. . r Sheriff W. D. Lackey has received a bip.- batch of draft cards frcw the War Department to be used when the conscription of soldiers begins. One card is for every male citizen between the ages decided on by Congress, to sign after asking a multitude of questions such as age, place of birth, nationality, occupation previous mili tary training, whether exemption is claimed or not and if so on what grounds, if said male citizen is mar ried, has wife,, mother, sister or child under 12 years, etc. Whites and blacks, physically fit and unfit will be required under heavv nenaltv to sign these cards. The age limit is i Impeded to be from 21 to 35 but itjsisted of readings and discussions a- may vary in the last analysis. Should, any one between these ages fail or refuse to sign, the officers of the law will call on him. It is understood from the bill that after these cards are all filled out the names will be put in a jury box and drawn out. Then if names of parties, drawn are exempted for any reason the exemp tion will be made by a jury or others in authority. Parties who think they are exempt cannot excuse themselv es or refuse to sign the cards.- This matter will be left to men i:i author ity.
