WILL ACCEPT RECRUITS

Washington, D. c., July 22.-Those
selected for service under the draft
will be permitted to enlist in the regu-
lar army of National Guard at any
time prior to their call for examination
before exemption boards, probably 10
days hence, Provost Marshal Gen.
Crowder announced tonight. They
will not be allowed, however, to Join
the Marine Corps.
The first men actually drafted prob
ably will be detailed to the regular
army in order to bring that branch
up to its full war strength of 100000
if the $4,000 enlistments needed are
not obtained before examinations be-
gin. The next will be put into the
National Guard.
Exemption machinery for virtually
the entire country is complete. The
Provost Marshal Generals Office an
nounced tonight that the names of
members of the appellate boards in
the last of the states probably would
be announced tomorrow. Those for
thirty-two states were given out yes

GEORGIA HAS SHIPPED
5000 CARLOADS OF PEACHES

Atlanta, Ga, July 2l.-Georgia's to-

It's headquarters office here.
At the beginning of the season Gen

would run from $500 to 1000 cars.
1t IS now apparent that the shipments
next week will run the crop to his
total estimate, if not beyond and ev-
cry crate of peaches has been sold
at splendid price.
Notwithstanding the fact that dur
ing the last two weeks the fruit has
ripened rapidly, there has been a ire
mendous movement, and the prices
have held tip wonderfully well. 1t
has been impossible to fill the orders
which have poured into the EXCHANGE
for Georgia peaches, and mary have
been tufed- down Tn Trfniss condition is
due almost entirely to the fact that
the crop has been we'll distributed by
the exchange, preventing a glut of
peaches on any market and always
holding prices up to the very top

Atlanta, July 2l.-Speaking of fish
stories and such like, here's a story
that's not fish story, but an alligator
story, and it shows that there's lust
naturally something in the soil and
climate and water of South Georgia
that puts the stimulus of enterprise
into all and sundry of its inhabitants
the alligator tribe not excluded.
Deciding that he would take VEN
ture to cooler climates to escape the
heat, Georgia alligator worked his
way up the Chattahoochee river
thence into the Tennessee river. down
that stream to the Mississippi at
Cairo, and north in the muddy waters
of the great Father of Waters to &C.
dar River, Iowa, where some National
Guard soldiers put rope around his
neck and hauled him out on the bank
and made him prisoner.
If they hadn't interrupted his ex-
cursion there's no telling but what
he'd have reached the ice mountains
of Greenland before he stopped.

Reverend l. P. Tyson of Waycross,

discourse by DR.. Jenkins, of Wesleyan
college. In the meantime, there were
many elegant tables spread over the
ground, laden with such good things
as only Coffee county can afford. and
everybody wanted one to, eat with
them. until we had to do like Brother

we had to go around and eat some

One Cancer Cause
Is Eating Of Hot Foods.
Says Or. w. T. Mayo

Chicago, Oct. 26.-The causation of
cancer is yet unknown to medical sci
ence, according to a statement made
before the 5000 surgeons, who, for the
past week have been in Chicago, at
tending the eighth annual convention
of the clinical congress Of surgeons,
which yesterday. merged with the
American College of Surgeons and Is
now known as the Clinical Congress of
the American College of Surgeons.
DR.. William T. Mayo. of Rochester.
Minn president elect of the new body,
in discussing the advances made in the
treatment of cancer, asserted that
while physicians can not ascribe .ex-
actly the causes of that disease, it is
known that hot foods taken into the
stomach often result in cancerous
growths in that organ.
Clean food, coupled with food at nor
NAL temperatures might go long way
in removing one of the first causes Of
cancer, DR.. Mayo said, and subsequent
speakers agreed to this. Sir Berkeley
Moynihan, of Leeds, England, member
of the British army staff, who has made
daily addresses to the physicians, de-
clared that in no one line of surgery
had such strides been made ,as in lung
and plurea surgery. He advised sur
geons contemplating war service to be
prepared to go about the lung surgery
resolutely and without misgivings as
to severity. He said that the lung
could be cleaned of slivers or shells
just as one would cleanse a new sponge.
