Drafted Man Wears Woman's Clothing

A young man hailing from Goose
Creek, says a telegram from Monroe
to the Charlotte Observer, is here to-
day wearing a dress. and to be ex-
amined by the local exemption board
for military service. He is accom-
panied by his mother, and they have
been all morning waiting the call from
the doctors.
The man wears a real dress. He
is about 20 years old, and has never
donned a pair of pants but once in his
lifetime. That was when he was a
small child, and it is said that the
ridicuIe of his companions so affected
him that he took them off Immediately
never to don them again. All his life
has been spent around Rocky river.
When friends hail into sight, it is said,
he will tuck IN his skirts and fly for
the sheltering banks.
The man is cot insane; ce..-e~ IS

During the years that

deal of pronerty, but he still clings to
the garb of a woman. He is unmar-
ried, and if he is found physically
tie he will in all probability be taken
by the local exemption board for the
county's third quota.
