CHARGED WITH DESERTION

John Bergman, charged with de-
sertion from the Second Regiment,
was arrested here yesterday by
Chief of Police Upton and return
ed to the authorities at Lexington.
Bergman joined the army from
this county several weeks ago and
he is quoted as saying he grew tired
of the life and decided to come
back home. He will be tried by
special court martial 1t is under
stood that there are twenty cases
to be tried. Soldiers found guilty
of desertion by court-martial are
subject to capital punishment. The
maximum penalty is death, but it is
thought that in the cases Of the
run-aways from Camp Stanley they
viii not be as strenously dealt
with as if the regiments were
in actual war service. The leave
takings by the men from the ranks,
the officers say, are mainly from
failures of the men to realize the
seriousness of the war mobilization
and the rigidness of the law.

COUNTY BOARD
Wins LAWSUIT
In Court of Appeals Growing Out
of Controversy at Camargo
School.

The controversy over the en-
ployment of teachers at the Con-
solidated School at Camargo has
been settled by the Court of APP
peals in favor of the County Board
of Education. The local school
trustee, Mr.. Ray Moss contended
that he had the right to recommend
the teachers to be employed, while
the County Board of Education, in
sisted it had the right to employ
them, since a high school was also
being taught in the same building.
A suit was instituted by Mr..
Moss and several taxpayers against
the members of the County Board
of Education and County Judge ".
0. Chenault decided in favor of Mr..
Moss and his co-plaintiffs. This
decision was reversed by Circuit
Judge William A. Young and the
Court of Appeals Monday refused
to sustain a motion made by the
plaintiffs to re-instate the iniunc-
tiOn dissolved by Judge Young.
The effect of the ruling is to sus-
tain Judge Young. The case in the
Court of Appeals was heard by
Judges Carroll, Settle and Thomas.

WILL HAVE
OPEN SESSION
Country WOman's Club VIII Hold
Interesting Session Wednesday,
September 10th.

The Country Woman's GLIB will
have its opening session on Wednes-
day, September 10th, and is anxious
to have present on that day at least
one hundred women. Any woman
interested in Home Economics, Home
Gardening, Food Conservation, etc,
is invited to join. There will be no
fees charged, nor duties assigned
fer the full year, as we have decid-
ed, in this, our national crisis, to
eliminate literary work, and to
make study of the things which
will benefit IMMEDIATELY, our own
Nation, and our Allies. We shall al
ways meet on the third Wednesday
in each month for an all-day meet
ing, serving a light lunch at noon.
The hours will be from 10 80 until
= 'oO % tudt IuOSe uSSuluS W SHOp,
and get home before night may be
able to do so. After our business
and social hour, we will have pres
int some expert worker along differ
ent lines, who will either lecture or
demonstrate their work to us. We
have found that most of our women
in the country especially, feel they
haven't time for study, and instead
of coming prepared with duty,
prefer to go home better prepared
for their home duties. The social
hour alone is worth while. You will
learn to love people whom you have
never spoken to before. That has
been the experience Of most of our
old members and we are now looking
forward to the old fashioned spend
day. When reading this, don't feel it
is meant for some one else, but for
YOU especially. No lines are drawn.
Our number is unlimited, and our
desires and hopes, great, for a most
helpful year. Our Nation is calling
for our help and there is no way to
help so efficiently as by organiza-
ton. If we win this war, our women
must be as well prepared and as
good soldiers in the home as our
men are on the battlefield. Mrs.
Helen B, WolcOtt, State Home Dem
Onstration Agent of our own State
University, will be present on Sep
tember 10Th and give us a most
helpful address. We should appre-
ciate Mrs. Wolcott's coming to us,
as her duties are so important and
urgent, she is seldom permitted to
leave the University. Shall we ex-
pect you? Call or address Mrs.
Bassett at Rest Room, if you can
come in the morning, and that is
when we want you. However, if
you can't know so soon, your plans,
come right along anyway.
