MARRIED MEN SHOULD BE
EXEMPT WHERE POSSIBLE

Washington, Aug. 25-President
Wilson has written Secretary of War
Baker expressing his views on draft
irg married men for the army, where
they are heads of families.
The President says that great care
should be taken in the examinations
ana such men should be exempted
when it is possible to find the proper
grounds for it. He points out that
the main idea is the young unmar-
ried men should be the ones selected
for the draft instead of the married
men
AS tie President is empowered by
the draft law to make the regulations
under which it is to be carried out,
the effect of this letter to Secretary
Baker is to throw his influnce to-
ward. more liberal policy of exemp-
ton Of married men than has hither-
to been pursued by the provost mar
shall generals office.
1t is no secret that President Will
son is in open conflict with the inter
pretations placed upon the law by
some of the officials.

EVADlNG THE BoNE-DRY LAW

Mcultrie, Ga, Aug. GA new and
convenient way of evading the bone
dry law is becoming popular in this
section Of the state. The method is
exceedingly simple for the thirsty"
but it presents a difficult problem to
the officers. The "dry" party merely
takes ordinary grape juice, Bryans
favorite brand preferred, and adds
about a pound of sugar to the quart
and lets the mixture set. Within
a few hours fermentation begins, and
in about fourteen days vinous liquor
with fairly influential "kick' is
the grape juice needs while it is being
de-Bryaniled" is Swimming once q
day, it is stated.
Perhaps a connoisseur of liquors
would not be very highly pleased with
the wine thus produced, but with the
Florida border being more closely
watched every day it seems to be
serving the purpoce of thoce that
have adopted the method and as a re-
suit the sale of grape juice is daily in
creasing at an astonishing rate.

1890 HAVE Volunteered
FOR THE REGULAR ARMY
Alone Since April list From Georgia
Near Ten Thousand in All Bran
ches.

Atlanta, Aug. 25.--1nat Georgia is
not lacking in patriotism, and that
Georgians stand ready to support the
government in time of war, is con-
clusively demonstrated by the fact
that the state has already furnished
1880 volunteers for the national army
since April 1, and several thousand
others in the navy, the maI.le corps,
the various hospital units, the officers
reserve, the flying squadron and vari-
GUS other branches of the service.
When war declared, the govern
ment asked Georgia to furnish $3.50
volunteers for the national army, and
all but 400 of these have come for
ward, the voluntary enliatment having
kept up at the rate of a thousand a
month since April l. 1t is confidently
expected that the balance of the
states quota will be "urnished within
few days.
1t is estimated by the Atlanta Re-
cruiting Station that fully 10000 men
have volunteered from Georgia, count
ing all branches of the service, since
the war began, and this is as fine a
record as any state in the union can
boast.

MORE GEORGIA SWEET
POTATOES THAN EVER

Atlanta, Ga, August 25.-Georgia
farmers are raising more sweet pota-
toes this year than ever before, and
they are going to be able to find a
market for all they raise, for the
government is going to put sweet po-
tatoes on the bill of fare for the
men in training at Camp Gordon near
Atlanta and the other camps in
Georgia and adjoining states. Last
year the states sweet potato crop
was one of the most valuable of all
farm products on the list, and this
year it is estimated that the farmers
will raise 1O,5OO,OOO bushels.

HOME FINDING BODY
AMONG ATLANTA WOMEN

Atlanta, Aup 2S.-Atlanta women
have formed a home-finding organi-
zation for the beenft Of army officers
coming to Camp Gordon, who are
married and have families, and who
will naturally desire to establish
their domiciles in this city until they
are sent to France with the first ma
tiOnal army.
At the present time there are
fewer houses for rent in Atlanta
than there have been in years, owing
to the fact that hundreds were made
homeless by the recent extensive fire,
and to the further fact that Atlanta S
population already has increased con-
siderably in connection with the
training camp
In order to assist army officers in
IL eating houses for rent, and in lC-
eating rooms for rent in private
homes, where they may be able to
obtain table board also, or at least
obtain it nearby, the women's com
mittee is making systematic can
vass of the renting lists of real es-
tate agents, and of the rooms for
rent advertised in the daily papers.
It is expected that something like
1000 officers with families will come
to Atlanta for the training camp.
