FOR Big ISLE

Governor Pinkham today announced
that he mas approved the beginning
of work on tn. Kau-Kona road, known
as item 10 of Act 215 of the 1917 laws.
The road is approximately eight miles
in length and the appropriation is
$4,000. &.-... II =
Three miles of the road lie in Kau
district and five miles in Kona. At
present it is covered with clinkers
that grind up automobile tires so fast
that the roadsides for the whole dis
lance are strewn with pieces of worn
out rubber Certain steep grades will
need to be cut down, but in general
the road will follow the present line.
Acting Superintendent of Public
Works w. r. Hobby and County Engi-
neer A. C. Wheeler inspected the road
bed during the recent trip of the har-
Dor board and decided upon plans for
it. 1t will be built of asphalt ma

Serial numbers of all persons regis.
tered in the city have been printed
during the last week by the Star.Bul-

drafted men win have definite idea
Of how soon they are to appear or
what likelihood they have of being
called in the first quota.
News Of Quota Not Necessary
Up to noon today no work from
Washington had been received as to
the quota for the territory. This is
not necessary for the drawing, how
ever, as all of the capsules some
5000 or more--are to be drawn. These
represent more than 10000 individual

The serial or red ink numbers are
drawn by lot to determine the order
in which registered persons are to
be called. The numbers that we're
placed on the registration cards on
July 81 last have no connection with
the draft. save for the convenience
they served in listing the cards right
after the registration.

ernment is ready. to receive him.
No claim of discharge On account of

field.

The Daughters of the American
Revolution of the State of South
Carolina have taken as one of their
war activities the knitting of sweat
ers and other articles for the boys
on the Battleship South Carolina.
Gdgefeld has sent or will send
sweaters to all our Edgegeld boys
in the Navy.
The Edgefeld chapter has already
sent their apportionment of knitted
articles including mittens, mufflers,
sweaters and helmets to the battle
ship, and all the wool on hand and
all friends have thus been expended,
and there is nothing in the treasury
to carry on the work of knitting.
Our wool is ordered fro m
Washington, Army and Navy
League as it is cheaper, and it takes
the a. etage knitter a week or more
to knit one, so that we can readily
see how there will be a delay in
obtaining the wool and getting the
sweater made and sent to our boys.
We want to continue the knitting
of these sweaters and send them
promptly, so that our boys may get
them while they are needed.
Now the D. A. R. of Edgefeld
makes the following suggestion.
Each sweater will cost about $3.50

Gen. u. r. Brooks Dead.

Early Sunday morning the life of
distinguished citizen of South Car
olina, Gen. U. r. Brooks, was
brought to a close, his death having
occurred at his home in Columbia
after an illness extending over a
period of several months. Gen.
Brooks was son of Edgefeld, and
his life and career always reflected
honor upon the county of his birth
and upon the distinguished name
which he bore. He was the son of
the late James Carroll Brooks. His
early life was spent in Edgefeld,
but Columbia was his home for a
number of years, having served as
clerk of the supreme court with dis
tinguished ability since December,
1894.
He enlisted in Buffers Cavalry
at the age of sixteen for service in
the Confederate army, and was
twice wounded. Gen. Brooks was
always loyal to the traditions of the
South and the principles for which
the Confederacy fought. Few men,
if any, were better informed on
Confederate history than he. This
is attested by the articles which
came from his pen from time to
time, and from his public utterances
upon many occasions where he was
invited, to speak. Besides Butler
and His Cavalry" Gen. Brooks
wrote other valuable war sketches
which include an account of Hamp-
toms cavalry. He also edited and
published the first volume of the
Bench and Bar of South Caro-
lima"
His death, which occurred in bis
seventy-first year, brought to close
life crowned with full fruition.
He was a member of the Catholic
church and his body lies in St. Pc
ter's cemetery, Columbia.
Gen. Brooks is survived by his
wife. who was Miss Mary Emma
Jones, three daughters, Mrs. w. L.
Bennett, of Columbia; Mrs. S. t.
Carter. of Columbia; Mrs. Hill A.
Gardner, of Worchester, Mass; two
sons, U. R. Brooks, Jr., and M.
Bonham Brooks, both of Columbia.
He is also survived by two sisters,
Mrs. S. M. Smith of Edgefield, Mrs.
Ella Brooks Jones of Columbia. and
one half sister, Mrs. Julia Brooks
Morgan of Edgefeld.
