WINNING OF WAR
JOB FOR AMERICA

Birmingham, Ala, June 5.-Bir
mingham passed in parade before
Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, u. S. A.,
and other distinguished visitors today
when more than 10000 men, women
and children marched up and down
the streets giving vent to their pa
triotic fervor.
In his speech at the flag raising
Gen. Wood predicted the United
States would win the war but said it
would be long drawn out affair and
1t would be necessary to send per-
haps 100000 men to the trenches
in France from the United States He
expressed the opinion that the South
ern units would be among the first to
go.
''The hosting of this flag represents
the blue and the gray for America, ;"
said Gen. Wood as he, assisted by a
Confederate veteran and a Union vet
eran, raised the flag to position while
the band played "The Star Spangled
Banner"
"lt shows that we are hosting it
together and that we will stand be-
hind it. One of the principal things
for us to do in America is to make
munitions of war, raise big crops and

Chesterfield County Registers
Her Full Military Strength

Registration Day, Tuesday, June
5th, was great day in Chesterfield
county. 1t was not day of gaiety
or of festivities, but one of the most
serious days ever witnessed here.
Weather was good and it was busy
time for the farmers but they laid
aside their work and came to town,
bringing their colored help of mill
tary age with them. Everybody reg
istered and returned to work.
Not one wcrd of complaint or OBJ
lection w2s heard by any of the reg
istrars, as reported. Many Of those
registering seemed not only willing
TO go if needed, but anxious to serve
their country. Several registrars
who have become familiar with the
situation throughout the county said
Ihcy did not believe there was
Stacker in the entire county.
One of the surprises of the day was
he conduct of the negro population.
/ hcy seem to have turned out to a
nan and registered with a cheerful
nc5s that was gratifying. The lead
'rS OF the colorcd race in Chesterfield
'ounty have evidently done some ex-
'c!lcnt work to bring out the entire
population of military age, and they

HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES

The closing exercises of the Ches,
terfield High School, beginning Fri,
day evening with a piano recital by
Miss Matty Gaddy's music class, were
concluded Tuesday night when the
diplomas were handed to the gradu-
ates by DIR. Sykes, of Coker College,
who was present and had delivered
an excellent address to the class.
The piano recital on Friday even
ing contained twenty-five numbers
and included the little fellows
just beginning as well as the more
advanced pupils. The house was wei,
filled and the people were treated to
most enjoyable entertainment. Ex-
pressions of qualification were heard
on every hand at the remarkable
progress made by the younger pu-
pills. The music of the more advanc
ed pupils was greatly enjoyed by the
audience on it's merits as good mu-
sic. 1t was demonstrated once more
that Chesterfield is fortunate in the
selection of Miss Gaddy as piano in
structor.
On Sunday morning at the Meth
odist church the commencement ser
mon was delivered by the Rev. Her
bert r. Jones, of Benettsville. Mr..
Jones preached great sermon. He
made an eloquent effort to inspire the
young people to make the most of
their opportunity and to noble living,
but his greatest effort was to show
the older people, mothers especially,
their responsibility in training the
children in the way they should go.
Mr.. Jones preached another excel
lent sermon Sunday night.
On Monday evening Mrs. P. M.
TherrelPs violin recital was given.
Mrs. Therrell was assisted by Misses
Sara Moore, Mary Belle Welsh, Vera
Melton and Mildred Laney. Every
number on this program, vocal and
instrumental, was a treat. 1t is
doubtful if any better music has ever
been heard in Chesterfield than many
of the numbers rendered on this oc-
casion. Every one taking part in this
delightful program deserves special
mention.
1t is source of great satisfaction
to know that Chesterfield is not to
lose Mrs. Therrell altogether when
she moves to Mt. Croghan, as she has
agreed to continue her violin instruc-
ton.
On Tuesday evening DR.. Sykes de-

Boys Join Rcd Gross

Quite a number of Chesterfield
county boys. went to Columbia this
week to volunteer their services in
the Red Cross unit being organized
by Capt. M. H. Wyman for service in
France at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Mr.. r. E. Hannah had sought
recruits here for this contingent.
While six boys were accepted it
:seems that Mr.. Hanna was rejected
on account of a slight heart irregu-
larity.
Those mustered into the federal
service were Messrs. j. S. Sowell, II.
M. Rivers, Isom Teal, George w.
Wright, Otis l.. Sims, and Rowland
T.. Mcleod.
Others who had applied were r. f..
Hanna, Lewis Teal, Oscar Hurst, Lee
Sowell, James Irby, August Martin
and John Funderburk.

I A feature of the registration was
the refusal of hundreds of thousands
of men to make any reply to the
question: "Do you claim exemption 2"
Even men who reported that they had
dependent families, men with obvious
physical disabilities and those whose
| occupations are certain to keep them
at home declined to make such a
claim. Apparently they have entered
fully into the very spirit of the law
They are content to leave the aues-
ton of exemption to the exemption
boards. They have no claims to
make; but are ready to do their
share, whatever it may be.
With the closing of each registra-
ton precinct officials went at once to
the task of sorting and classifying
the cards. There is much work to
lie done in order that the brief synop-
sis which each governor will make to
Gen. Crowdcr of the registration of
his State may go forward promptly.
Gen. Crowder is hopeful that an
other 36 hours will see the full record
of the country on his desk.
Alaska and Hawaii will record their
fighting men on dates to be sent later
and the roll of Americans now abroad
who are beseiging consulates all ov-
er the world for registration cards
will add to the great list.
Can Still Enlist
Gen. Crowder made it clear that
registration acted as bar against no
man who wishes to enlist in the army
or navy.
Any man who enrolled himself to-
day, but whose patriotic impulse bids
him step into the ranks now and not
await selection day, will pass from the
registration lists automatically. A
man may take his choice as to the
part of the great national army in
which he will serve, regulars, National
Guard or the selective army.

MAN AND WIFE BADLY CUT

MIR. Archie Goodale received a
number of severe cut and his wife
was stabbed in fight last Monday
with Mr.. Henry Freeman and son,
Lee.
It has been difficult to secure de-
tails of the fight but it seems this was
the elimination of bad feeling ex-
listing for some time between the
families.
The Freemans are said to claim
that Mr.. Archie Goodale was the ag-
gressor, that he started the dispute
at this time and when Mr.. Freeman
and son began to retire the young
man was followed and attacked by
Doodale,an that young Freeman was
down and being beaten by Goodalc
when he did so much effective cutting
Mrs. Goodale is said to have snap.
ped pistol repeatedly against young
Freeman's head, but the cartridges
failed to fire.
About fifty stitches were taken ir
Mr.. Goodale's body and he is in q
critical condition. Mr.. Henry Free.
man had deep cut on the leg. Just
how his wound and Mrs. Goodale's
wound were received is not known
Mr.. Freeman and son came to towr
Tuesday and gave bond for appear
ance at the next term Of Crimina
Court.

the recipient to teach for two years
without further examination.
The address by DR.. Sykes will long
be remembered. This was the first
visit of DR.. Sykes to Chesterfield but
it is hoped it will not be his last.
His plea for educational prepara-
ton was impressive. He was unspar-
ing in his intolerance for illiteracy.
Like Mr.. Jones in his Sunday sermon,
DR.. Sykes laid great deal of re-
sponsibilty upon the mothers for the
ignorance of their children. The
women who grew up Immediately af-
ter the Civil War, said he were not
so much to blame for their lack of
education, but there is no excuse to-
day for anyone being unable to read
and write. He said that a woman
who can read and write will teach her
children what she knows, therefore
the Importance of teaching the girls.
DR.. Sykes grew eloquent when he
spoke of President Wilson, He told
how he had heard Prof. Wilson twen-
ty years ago lecture on democracy
when he had no idea of being presi-
dent of a great college, governor of
a State or president of the United
States. Mr.. Wilson's long prepara-
tion and study of this subject had
made him the most influential citizen
of the world when he wrote the great
message that changed the whole COM
plexion of the great European war
Whereas the nations were at war
each. for its own grievance, now the
allies are all fighting FOR one great
cause, for democracy.

First Military Census of The U. S.
Completed Without Trouble In a Day

Washington, June 5.-More than
10000, 900 young Americans enrolled
themselves today for war service.
Registration day, with but a few
weeks of preparation saw the first
military census ever taken in the
United States completed without a
single untoward event of consequence
The manhood of the nation obeyed
the presidents call and volunteered
in mass, setting at naught all the
schemes and plottings of German
sympathizers and the few cranks who
have agitated against registration. 1t
remains but to select the men who
are to go to the front.
From virtually every State reassur-
ing messages came tonight to Brig.
Gen. Crowder, provost marshal gen
eral, federal supervising officer of the
great enterprise.
While no complete returns from
any State were transmitted the gov
ernors were unanimous in reporting
that complete order had prevailed
throughout the day and that a full
registration is indicated.
The early reports showing full
turnout all over the country indicat-
led that the estimates of the census
bureau as to the number of men with
in the specified age limits would be
verified by the court. Wherever par
tial figures were available the esti-
mates checked closely.
A typical message received was
that from Idaho:
Registration will be 100 per cent"
1t said. Spontaneous and without
murmur or incident"
The situation was 80 clear and the
response 80 ready throughout the
country that governors of 46 of the
48 States had sent similar assurances
long before registration had closed
and the other two were close on their
heels.

Mother Lore

There is an endearing tenderness in the love of
mother to a son. that transcends all other affections Of
the heart 1t is neither to be chilled by selfshness
danted by danger, weakened by wortheSsness,
Stfled by ingratitude. She will sacrifice every
fort to his convenience she will surrender every pleas
to his enjoyment; she will glory in his fame and
eXult in his prosperity; and if adversy overtake him,
he will be the dearer to her by misfortune and if dis
grace settle upon his name she will still love and
cherish him. and if all the world beside him off,
she will be all the world to him. Washington Irving.
