RULES ISSUED BY
PROVOST MARSHAL

Columbia, July Ex-Governor Man
ming today received the following tele-
gram from Provost Marshal General
Crowder:
Please send the following ruling
to local boards, giving it widest pos
sible press publicity: Ample time and
opportunity has now been allowed to
persons designated as members Of
local boards to present any reasons
they may have for not serving as
such. 1t is indispensable that the
personnel of those boards be perma-
nent. By section 6 of the selectiVe
service law persons designated to
perform this service are as effectively
drafted for this duty as are the reg
istrants who are to be selected for
military service. In the future men,
bers of local boards will DE excused
from performing this service only 1or
the most urgent reasons, approved oy
the governor of their state.
cit is requested that the governor
closely scrutinize each case presented
to him, and that he recommend the
excuse of members of local boarGs
only in cases of great hardship.
"Unless the governor believes that
the excuses presented are valid, SUB
stantial and controlling the attention
of the person should be directed to
section 6 of the law, and in case
further refusal to serve the case
should be reported to the nearest
representative of the federal depart
ment Of justice.
These instructions do not apply, OF
course, to members of boards who are
to be removed under Instructions from
the war department"

Greenville News.
What is the soldiers chance of get
ting killed in war? This question has
provoked numberless replies. A
good many have been led to believe
that the soldiers expectancy of life
sitter he gets to the firing line is about
ten minutes. All sorts Of statistics
have been circulated, most of them
notable for the short shrift they give.
Roger w. Babson, the most eminent
:,tatistician in the United States has
..cGe q close and exhaustive study
# war casualties and announces the
following conclusions:
Under present conditions, where
man power is being saved, 40 more
than one in thirty is killed.
afr. Babson's conclusions are based
on the mortality figures of The French
army for the full three years OF war'
The present fighting is not claiming
anywhere the number Of dead record
ed for the first two years.
He says that most OF the wounds
sustained in the trenches are clean cut
and Of a nature that few weeks
in the hospital makes the subject as
fit as ever. Only three hundred thou
sand French soldiers have been dis
charged on account OF wounds dur
ing the three years Of the war.
'Most of the wounds received in the
trenches are on top Of the head. sim
ply scalp wounIs. Practically sreaA-
ing q wound is either fatal or. slight,
With but few in between these two ex-
trenes."
Mr.. Babson's figures ought to afford
considerable relief to the American
military forces. especially those who
dread the draft. A good many OF them
believe that to 60 to Europe is to die.
The Babson figures ought to cheer
them up. although the hopeless pessi-
mist will still insist that he will be
the one man out OF the thirty to DE
killed.

was no doubt largely responsible for
that general EXODUS of home seekers
when the apartment hotel first began
to fourish-a migration which has
lasted almost up to the present time
The atmosphere Of hotel life, how
ever, is not one to satisfy for long,
and finally the home-loving hearts
grew restless, and the tide began to
turn. But it was most confusing, this
thought of going back; the memory OF
the cold stateliness of huge formal
rooms chilled every hope of the posi-
,bility Of a return to them. In vague
way it was felt that something could
be done, but what! The answer came:
by remodelling! Then the way was
clear. Through the art of remodelling
the formidable brown-stone front avs
made over into a real city home; a
house usually more comfortable and
satisfying than one built new, in
perfect harmony with individual needs
and requirements.
The unattractive exterior was re-
placed with facade of mellow bdick
mad stone. Old window openings were
closed here, and new ones opened
there in groups of twos and threes.
Easement windows with teaded glass

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. Gaston, of this place. writes: T am a user of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact. 1t was one of our family medicines. Also in my mothers home, when I was a child. When any of us child ren complained of headache, usually caused by constipation, she gave us a dose of Black Draught, which would rectify ths trouble. Often in the Spring, we would have malaria and chilIs, or troubles .of this kind. we would take Black. Drausht pretty reg. ular until the liver acted we'll. and we would soon bs up and around again. We would not be without 1t. for 1t certainly has saved us lots of doctor bills, Just . dose of Black Draught when not co we'll saves . lot of days in bed"
 Thedfords Black -Draught has been in use for many years in the treat ment of stomach, liver and bowel troubles, and the popularity which 1t now enjoys is proof of its merit
 If your liver Is not doing its duty. you will suffer from such disagree able symptoms as headache, bilious ness, constipation. indigestion. etc. and unless something Is done. serious trouble may result.
 Thedfords Black -Draught has been found a valuable remedy for these troubles. It is purely vegetable, and acts in a prompt and natural way. regulating the liver to its proper functions and cleansing the bowels oi impurities. Try it. Insist on The6 ford'G the original and gspuinA U Q

We are all glad to see the sun come out after so many dark and dreary days. We do not ex- pect many months to pass by until a universal peace shall be agreed upon. but in case peace does not come, the people of our community are prepared to live strictly at home for at least one year. It is not unusual to see neighbors storing in their smoke houses some half dozen bbls. of flour. several cans of lard, four or five hundred pounds of sugar. with a proportionate amount of coffee and other necessities. So let it sleet and snow, we can sit back and look on. This is not our attitude however, we expect to be out and doing.
