lake Steps to Reduce Numb sr
of Exemptions

Washington, Aug. lire
newed emphasis was laid by
Provost Marshall General Crow
der today upon the fact th;t
Congress framed the army drsl #
law in the interest Of the nation,
not of the individual. For that
reason the lines are beiug drawn
tight in the matter of exemptions.
The government has acted
slowly in bringing home to the
people the rigid character of the
draft act. There has been much
discussion of the exemptiors
problem, based on an erroneous
view of the laws purpose which
assumed that married men, for
instance, would be exempted
without question and that the
burden of military duty was to
be carried fully by the single
men among the ten million
registered.
General Crowder has taken
the position in recent rulings
that married men will be ex-
empted only when it is to the
interest of the government that
they should be excused from SER
vice. If the removal of the draft
ed man from his family circle
probably would result in the
family becoming a public bur-
den, it is to the interest of the
government to leave him in his
civil occupation.
An Interpretation similarly
rigid has now been placed upon
exemptions for industrial rea-
sons. The government has
taken the lead in scrutinizinq
closely individual cases among
its employees before asking that
they be exempted. Bureau
chiefs, who must file affidavits
with the proper board showing
that man is indispensable be-
fore he can be excused, have
been instructed to exercise the
greatest care.

Two hundred thousand of the

The whole business of assemb

a specified time by the state.
Each local board will be prompt
ly informed of its proportion in
the call, and the adjutant gener-
al will fix the date when men
from his state shall entrain for
the camps.
Immediately the local board
will make out the list of men to
fill the call, fix the place of en-.
trainment and time of departure.
Orders to tie men will be posi-
ed and also be sent them by
mail. They will be directed to
report to the local headquarters
not less than twelve hours or
more than twenty four hours be-

Policeman Gregory and Posse
Capture Still and Two Pris.

A raid was made on a distil-
lery four miles southwest of
Pageland last Friday evening by
Officer Gregory and bis posse.
The still was found in operation
and four men were there. Two
or them were captured, and two
escaped after several shots had
been exchanged. w. Furr, a
white man, and Very Clyburn,
a negro, were captured.
MIR. Gregory deputized Messrs.
r. K. Chisholm, ]. w. Elkins,
Jr., J. D. Redfearn and Guy
Watts to go with him, and they
approached the swamp on Mr.W.
j. Hicks farm soon after sunset.
There was a small path leading
through the dense growth of
bushes, and as they went in they
met Clyburn coming out with a
bucket of slop from the still.
He made as if to signal those be
hind but a pistol was promptly
thrust into his face and he re-
mained quiet. Messrs. CHS
holm and Redfearn remained
with him, while Messrs. Greg
ory and Elkins pushed on into
the opening where the still was
in operation. There they found
two men measuring liquor, and
the third mending the fire. Two
dashed away, shooting as they
did so. The third did not run
but was thought to be in the act
of shooiug as Mr.. Gregory leveled
his pistol on him and forbade HI inn
to stir. On him was found fine S.
& w. pistol and a full box of car
tridges' Several shots were fired
at the two fleeing men, but it is
not believed that either. was hit.
The still was of about 80 gal.
lon capacity. 1t was running
full blast, and the officers found
about sixteen and half gallons
of liquor in Jugs and fruit Jars.
There were several barrels filled
with soured meal, about ready
for use. When things got quiet,
Mr.. Gregory went for a wagon
to bring the still to town. and
the Still continued to turn out
the liquor. 1t ran until he re-
turned, and then it was loaded
and brought to town by MIR.
John Hicks. Here it was placed
in the lookup, and many people
were permitted to see it Satur-
day. 1t was made of copper,
but the bottom was nearly out.
)he entire outfit, including still,
cap. worm, barrel, lantern, etc.,
was taken.
The two prisoners were car.
rled to Jail at Chesterfield to
await trial. Deputy Grant came
up Saturday, and the liquor was
turned over to him.
Mr.. Lonnie Broom was ar
rested Saturday on warrant
charging him with being one of
he men who escaped. He gave
bond in the sum of five hun
ired dollars and was released.
MIR. Broom stated to the writer
hat he IS prepared to prove that |
le was not there; that he work
I'd at McInnis' shingle mill near |
Irowbu1k until SIX o'clock; that
lie went from there to his board
ng place, Mr.. McManus', and

nan were in a buggy when they

Hoover Prepared To Take Over
Entire Harvest of Wheat

Washington, Aug. 12.-The
food administration announced
tonight its plan for controlling
wheat, flour and bread. reveal
ing that the government is pre-
pared to take over the whole
1917 wheat harvest if necessary
to conserve the supply. obtain
just prices for Americas fighting
forces and their allies and reduce
costs to the general public in the
United States.
Establishing of buying agenci
es at all the principal terminals,
licensing of elevators and mills,
fixing of a price to be consider
ed fair, regulation of the middle
men and of grain exchanges,
with the elimination of trading
in futures, are the chief features
of the plan. The licensing will
begin September /.
The minimum plice of So for
wheat fixed by Congress does
not become effective until next
year but the administration pro-
poses to exercise a very thor
ough control over this years
crop through power conferred
under the food and export con-
troll bills.
The disturbance to the
worlds commerce and supplies
has caused a greater disruption
OF the normal markets for wheat
than any other cereal.

George Steel-Perkins communicates
to the Lancet his views on the pharyn-
gifts and laryngitis Of public speakers.
He states that 1t is now over thirty
years since he first asked himself why
we speak Of the condition IS clergy
mems sore throat and not as lawyers
sore throat. Why is this condition 80
rarely seen In lawyers who use their
voices more than clergymen, and In
stuffier atmospheres? On thinking
over the matter the only difference the
writer could perceive between cler-
gyman's and lawyers speaking was
that a clergyman spoke down to his
congregation, and lawyer spoke up
to the Judge, the former thus pressing
on his larynK and causing congestion.
whereas the lawyer had his larynx
and throat In a normal position. or
rather in hypernormal position.
From that time he has always ad-
,vised such patients to speak looking
up to their audience and never down.
He has used no local applications or
treatment except to rectify q condition
such as granular pharyngitis. hut
where necessary he has suggested q
rest Of voice for two or three months.
In oil cases this plan has been success
full.
