The Local Board OF Selection is
very busy today engaged in the ex-
animation of the one hundred men

that out of these examined today, a
sufficient number will be secured to
complete Chesterfield County's quota
for the first draft.
There was an unusually large
crowd in attendance at Court, Mon.
day, although there were no impor-
tant cases to be tried. The case pro-
bably most interesting was a charge
against Mr.. Thomas Phillips, for op-
Grating whiskey still. Solicitor
)Spears did not argue the case at ALL
The jury rendered the verdict Of not
guilty.
1t has been suggested that Super
visor Knight hold up all work on the
roads through the proposed Canton
ment training grounds until that mat
ter is decided, for if the government
places the training camp in this coun-
ty, the road across same will be clos
ed, and any work done by the chain
gang now will be thrown away. In
the mean time, there are plenty Of
other highways outside of the pro-
posed training camp that are in need
or attention. The Anson county
Commissioners have built a modern
highway from Wadesboro to within
SIX miles of Chesterfield. Chester
held county should not delay any
longer doing her part and in build
ing her share of the Chesterfield
Wadesboro highway, matter of onlv
six miles

thousand acres needed for the train
ing grounds, the government has on
tons for one hundred and thjrty-five
thousand acres Of same, at an aver
age lease price OF $500 per acre, with
