FIRST THRESHER
FIRE IN LATAH
LOSS TO MACHINE $500; LOSS IN
FIELD PEAS BURNED
500

A serious loss occurred yesterday,
three and one-half miles east of town
on the Mason Cornwall ranch. Pea
threshing on the place was just at it's
height when in the middle OF the af-
ternoon the threshing machine caught
fire and so sacks of grain were burned.
The fire started, it was decided,
from friction between the dry
belt and the wood framework
near the separator The belt
was weighted down to the ground
with peas and was not fitted exactly
right thus making the combustion pos
sible. There is no suspicion resting
on the I. W. WIS. The front of the
machine was burnt out and the belt
making a loss of something like $500
for the owners of the thresher, Heick
and Gossett. The loss to Mr.. Corn
wall is estimated at about $500. The
machine was turning out 120 sacks
of which they were able to save 40.
Neither the grain nor the machine car
ried insurance.

acres; remount station of equal
area rifle range, artillery range, this
latter having as its objective Kings
Mountain of revolutionary fame. 1t is
approximately Is miles distant from

The improved section of Myers Park,
the handsome and fashionable resi-
dental suburb of Charlotte, will be
utilized for some division of the
guardsmen, perhaps for the aviation
corps.

grounds, located six miles east of the
city on stretch of sandy loan that
can be easily used during any period
OF excessive precipitation.
To get the camp for Charlotte there
has been no stintedness on the part of
the progressive people of Charlotte
Whatever charges had to be met for
the use of any and all of the nearly TO-
600 acres available, have been borne
by the business men of Charlotte who
have an appreciation of what it means
to have city of equal size to the
present proportions of Charlotte in
point of population spring up almost
over night just on the outskirts.
The construction work will have
been completed at the present rate of
progress by the time the last contin-
gent of the $4,000 or more soldiers
who are coming here Will arrive. A
veritable army of laborers are engaged
now clearing up underbrush, burning
the green trees that have been felled
from historic forests, laying beds for
the concrete military roads, building
barracks and mess houses, leveling
and filling up bitches and otherwise

PERCENTAGE or THOSE FOUND

IS, VERY HIGH.
FILING
CLAIMS IS MUCH LESS
Indications Now Are With Examination
Three .fifths Over That Much Small
or Percentage Will File Claims Than
Was the Case Among Those Ex-
amined Three Weeks Ago.

The examining physicians for tbs
| exemption hoard found they had thei'
| task of examining the second grodl
more than three ffths completed wher
| they quit examining at II o'clock this
| forenoon. Up to that time they hac
| examined 159, of whom, however flVe
were non-residents, leaving 1o4 ex.
amined out of 250 summoned. or the
154 there had been accepted as phys
ically fit 131, and twenty-five had beer
rejected as unfit. One other had been
reported to return for REORGANIZATION
Oct. /.
The record for Monday afternoon
was forty eight accepted, seven reject
ed and two non residents accepted
| This forenoon it was thirty eight &C.
cepted, seven rejected, and one non
| resident examined. The percentage Of
those rejected is only 14.4 being much
ASP examined.
Slower About Filing Claims.
Contrary to the early indications
Monday it does not seem probable now
with the examination three-fourths
over. that nearly as many claims fol
exemption will be filed by those ex-
amined Monday and today as by those
who were examined three weeks ago.
Up to IL this forenoon only twenty
seven claims had been filed by the III
who were accepted. OF these claims,
twenty-five were filed Monday. The
impression is gaining. based ON the ex-
perience of those who filed claims three
weeks ago. that there IS little use OF
many filing claims, as they would only
be disallowed In any event there has
not been the rush to file claims up to
this time that there was up to the
corresponding time Of the first ex-
animation.
Trap One Stacker.
What is believed by the examining
physicians to be the first bona fide
case of attempting to get rejected by
shamming physical defects that did not
ex;st deyeloped this forenoon. The
young man made a bluff Of both de-
fective hearing and eyesight. He was
trapped on his attempt to fake deaf
ness by questions intended for that
purpose, and a special examination OF
his eyes showed they were normal. Be-
fore he was fully convinced mat ne
should answer truthfully he was told
that he would be passed as physically
fit regardless Of his defects unless ne
answered questions asked him.
Last Day Of Appeal.
Today Is the last day OF fling APP
peals to the district board for all but
one or two of those who were ex-
amined three weeks ago. The excep-
tons are those who were examined
day or two after the regular examina-
ton closed.
Two more appeals were filed Mon
day. One is by Mrs. Helen G. Ingle-
due, who gave her address as 1884

band, Wilbur G. 1ngledue, Of this city.
