Gen. Young Will Again be Adjutant
General

Effective September 1, General
Laurence W. Young will be the adiu-
tant general Of the North Carolina
natural guard, according to a COM
mission issued Tuesday by Governor
Beckett. General Young was adju-
tant general three years of the Craig
administration and became brigadier
general and commanded the North
Carolina brigade during it's service
on the Mexican border, General B. S.
Register, who had been brigadier gen.
eral and could not go to Mexico on
account of health conditions, becom-
ing adjutant general in the stead of
General Young.
Now General Register resigns as ad-
jutant general to give place to Gen
eral Young, who is not to be mus
tered into the service by the War De-
partment as brigadier general for
the new army being formed. Along
with the resignation of General Roy
ster came the resignation of Major
George L. Peterson as property ane
distributing officer, this being also
effective September 1. This is un.
derstood to be on account of person
al differences between Major Peter
son and General Young. His success

All Men on Farms Will Not be En-
titled to EXEMPTION

The Eastern and Western district
boards of exemption for North Caro-
lima conferred with Gov. Beckett Mon
day and agreed that while it is deem
ed advisable to exemption from draft
men actively engaged in farming
there must be close scrutiny and the
fact that a man merely lives on 9
farm must not be taken as an exemp'
ton. Since over 80 per cent of the
people are on the farms, it is mo-
deemed possible to confine the draft
to the remaining 20 per cent of the
people. They consider that the far
mers must do some of the fighting
as we'll as the production of the foot
stuffs. The two boards have determ
ined to allow exemptions only in cas-
es of real necessity.
