KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Bishopville, May 27.-The usual
quiet of the country Sabbath was
rudely broken into today and the
whole country shocked when it be-
came known that in an automobile ac
cident, which had befallen the car of
Mr.. James E. D. McCutchen, Sr., his
wife had lost her life and Mr.. Nc
Cutchen himself and his only daugh-
ter, Minnie, had sustained injuries and
shock that it is feared may prove
fatal to both, especially to MIR. Nc
Cutchen, who is nearly seventy years
Old
The accident happened while re-
turning from services at old Mount
Zion Church. Making sharp turn
IN the road the front wheels ran into
hole or washout and this caused the
car to turn turtle. The shook kas so
great that Mrs. McCutchen died al
most instantly. Mr.. McCutchen is
suffering from shock and it is feared
that the daughter, who was driving.
and was pined under the motor is
suffering from internal injuries which
may prove fatal.

MEN IN DRAFT AGE LIMIT

Washington, May 26.-By Census
Bureau estimate today classifying the
more than ten million men within the
military draft age limit, the number
of single men is placed at 5,372, 400
and the number of married at 4,545,
600.
The estimate was prepared on a
basis of a normal increase in popula
ton since the 1910 census and on the
assumption that the ratio between the
married and single men is the same
as at that time.
The classification by chief occupa-
tions is given as follows: Agriculture,
forestry and animal husbandry, g.
864. 900; manufacturing and mcchani-
cal industries, 3,036,O0O; no gainful
occupations, 5OO,5OO; transportation,
$4,000; trade, 1,O54,OoO; public SER
vice, 441,O 900; professional service,
335,000; clerical occupations, $4,000;
extraction of minerals, 364,0OO.
The government, it has been stated,
will not exempt any particular class
of industry from conscription, but will
deal with cases individually. Individ-
uals, however, whose work is consid-
cred necessary to preserve an eco
nomic balance, will be exempted.
Nearly every line of industry, it is
said, has appealed to the Wah De-
partment for exemption for it's work
ers.
Some few classifcations are not in
cluded in the figures.

Hon. w. w. Johnson,

Dear SIR
Referring to our conversation in the
office yesterday in which you request
ed me to advise you as to the effect
OF the Act passed at the last session
of the Legislature to provide for a
communication or road tax in Claren-
don County in lieu of the tax now
provided by the Acts of 1914 and
1915, l beg to to advise that the Act
of 1917 does not take effect until the
31st. day of December next and until
that time persons liable to perform
road duty are required to pay the
tax of $500 per annum fixed by the
Act of 1915. In case they fail to
do so within the time prescribed for
the collection of taxes, that is, before
December 31st. next, they are then
liable to indictment and punishment
as for misdemeanor.
These parties cannot be indicted
for failure to pay the tax before the
31st. of next December, when the
time allowed them to pay expires,
and on the date the new law fixing
the road tax at $500 takes effect.
Both the old law and the new law
provide for the payment of road
tax and it was clearly not the inten-
tion of the Legislature that the mere
change in the amount of tax to be
paid should release persons liable to
such tax from paying the tax fixed
by the prior law for the year 1917.
am, therefore, of the opinion that
if the Act of 1917 conforms to the
Bill shown me and returned herewith,
the Courts may construe it as not
repeating the provisions of the prior
law which subjected persons failing
to pay the communication tax of $500
during the year 1917 to fine of not
less than ten nor more than twenty
five dollars, or Imprisonment for not
more than thirty days, imposed upon
them by the Act of 1914, should they
/ fail to pay the $500 tax due during
the year 1917.
Vile the language of the Act of
1917 repeals all Acts or parts of Acts
inconsistent herewith, there is no
such inconsistency between the new
and former law as would operate as
repeating of the provisions of the
former law for the punishment of
! those failing to pay the tax fixed by
it during the year 1917.
think that the Courts will sus-
tain this construction of the two Acts
, and that persons failing to pay the
road tax of $500 year during 1917
will be liable to punishment during
the year 1918 for failure to pay the
$500 tax during the year 1917 and
before December 81, 1917.
think it would be well to publish
this letter in your County papers in
order that persons liable to road tax
may know their status and be warned
against failure to pay The road tax
required Of them this year.
Yours very truly,
ThOs. H. Peoples,

had experienced much difficulty in
interesting a certain farmer in pro-
posed agricultural Improvement cam
paigns. This farmer, who was Of
much influence in the community,
considered his own individual sue
cess q proof that Government coop
GRAFTON with farmers is entirely IN
necessary. A special representative
! Of the extension . flee offs The United
. States Department Of Agriculture
who visited that section was told of
the case by the county agent. He
went to the farmer and found him
, cold and unresponsive.
"You are standing in the way. of
your country when your country is
at war; said the special agent to
the farmer finally ttDo you realize
that?"' ~~,.- -
NO." said the farmer, II hadn't
thought of it that way"
swell, do think of it that way
awhile" suggested the special agent.
1.-The man who doesn't help his coun-
try at this time is hurting his coun-
try, and to hurt your country when
your country is at war is a pretty
bad thing to do, don't you think so?"
"You bet I do" said the farmer,
thawing ~out for the first time dur
ing the interview. "You don't think
l am that kind of a man, do YOU?
I'll do anything for my country. I'll
fght-."
"All right" said the agent. 'tHere's
your chance. See that your farm
and all the farms in your county in
crease their yields and their cult
waited acreage. 1t isn't picturesque,
but it is service service, great
and genuine service. Now that's
what the Government wants you to
do. That's the purpose of these
special county organizations. That's
what these emergency county agents,
like the one in this county, are urg-
ing. What about it? Your country
wants you to help. Either you will
or you won t-and if you won't help
your own country, you are indirectly
helping the enemy. What your coun-
try wants you to do is to plant more
land, specialize on certain crops, and
cultivate so as to increase produc-
ton. 1t is all figured out to har~
monte with a great national pro-
gram, scientifically and efficiently
arranged. The community organiza-
tions, cooperating in each communi
ty throughout the United States, are
essential to the realization of this
national plan-and that plan is abso-
lutely necessary of accomplishment
If we are to win the war. Now we
are trying to organize this county in
harmony with this plan. You have
opposed it. Don't you see what that
means?"
"When is that county meeting?x
asked the farmer.
"Tonight."
'lll be there tonight and make a
speech. You are mighty right
hadn't thought of it that way. You'll
never have another chance to insinu-
ate that l am not with my country
in this war;
The Nebraska farmer spoke that
night. And by unanimous vote the
meeting arranged for organized ag-
rlcultural work throughout that
county.
