with much interest by the many

NITRATE PLANT
SITES SELECTED
TWO EXPERIMENTAL STATIONS
WILL BE LOCATED IN
VIRGINIA.

Washington, July 2i.-According to
a conversation Representative Hud
dleston had with Colonel Keller, as
sistant to the chief Of engineers, the
sites for the preliminary work in the
production of nitrates have been Sc
lected. A plant for the production
of synthetic ammonia (the Haber
process) is to be located in south
western Virginia.
The site for the cyanamide process
will be located in the same section,
but the two are to have absolutely
no connection with each other. These
two plants will cost $4,000,000. The
names of the points selected are not
yet announced, Mr.. Huddleston says.
The synthetic ammonia plant will
be constructed by the government
and processes are to be used which
have been developed by large cor
poration which has been operating
for some time in that section. This
process, it is said, h&s passed the
experimental stage, and it is claimed
that considerable quantities of nj
trates for war purposes will be pro-
duced. The cyanamIde plant will
be largely experimental. The two
plants already selected are to be per-
manent in their nature, and will be
operated by the government after
the present war is over. If the OPP
erations are successful, other plants
will be established, and it will then
be determined whether waterpower
shall be used, and if so, how much
power will be necessary.

MEN DRAFTED CAN

OFFICIALS RULE THEY CAN
VOLUNTEER UNTIL CALLED
UP FOR EXAMINATION.

1t has been officially announced
by the war department that the pub
lication of the names of the men
who have been conscripted will in
no way interfere with volunteer en-
listments for the regular army.
1t had been thought that the men
whose names have been drawn would
not be eligible for the regular army,
but that they would be reserved for
the conscripted army of $4,000
men. The war department an
nounces, however, that after man
has been called before an exemption
board he can not apply for volun-
tary enlistment; but up to that time
he is eligible for this branch of the
service, the only requisite being that
he stand the regularly prescribed
physical examination.

been drawn and who fail to join

ing forces viii be examined by the
exemption boards, and if found fiji

SOAKING RAINS
IMPROVE CROPS
MUCH NEEDED SHOWERS BRING
DELIGHT TO HEARTS OF
LOCAL FARMERS.

Heavy showers which fell in Co
lumbus and the contiguous territory
Friday night and Saturday proved
beneficial not only to staple crops
but to late vegetables and were
hailed with delight by farmers and
gardeners generally.
Last year we suffered from a sup
erfluity of rain, but during the pres
ent summer there has been very lit
tile rain and crops of all kinds have
suffered from lack Of sufficient
moisture. The showers which recent
ly fell were badly needed and viii
undoubtedly serve to materially in-
crease the yields Of many farms and
gardens.

with being an aecomplice to the SEN
sational murder of Mrs. Julia May
Hess, of Fulton, for which Fisher
Brooks, another negro, is under
death sentence, took the stand late
Friday afternoon in his own behalf.
The defendant was on the stand
for more than an hour and was put
through gruelling cross-examina-
ton. The best part Of the after

spots found on Sanders clothing

was carrying from an auto garage
to welding shop.
