Scenes of action are in order today
at the Court House and will continue
tomorrow and Wednesday. The Coun-
ty Exemption Board began examining
the men of the first call under the
draft act this morning upstairs and
the County Board Of Supervisors are
in meeting in their room downstairs.
The examinations will continue
through Wednesday and it is probable
that the Supervisors will continue in
session that long also.
The Board Of Exemptions are find
ing that examination work is quite a
Job and it continues without q let up
from the time the first man appears IN
the morning until the last man on the

So fap virtually every man exam

these claims will be sustained is not
known. The Board will act upon

the first night show. Mr.. Schilling
and his Office force left for supper
and left the negro helper mopping out
the lobby. The office was locked.
Entrance was gained through a
small window on the east side opening
upon the outside stairway used by the
negroes. The window was pried up
and after gaining entrance the cash
drawer was pried entirely off Of the:
window ledge under which if was fas
tened and twenty one dollars and some
cents in nickles and dimes was taken
Manager Schilling today found that
he was not as heavy loser as he
at first thought. In the excitement
of the moment he forgot that he rad
put away the matinee receipts Of Sat
urday afternoon and discovered the
money this morning. His loss is thus
cut down to ten dollars, change he had
left in the cash drawer.
Petty thefts have been numerous in
Greenwood during the past two or
three months and while not amounting
to much have been source of much
annoyment both to the store keepers
and to the police department. The
latter has exerted every effort to
break up the depredations. Extra
night watchmen were put on the force
and other precautions taken but ap-
parently to no avail. The robbery yes
terday was the second time that the
Handy Kitchen has been entered in
that time.
Until the Greenwood Theatre was
entered Saturday night the thieves
have been rather unsuccessful so far
as to getting money but in some places
secured shoes and clothing.
Box Car Robbed.
It is learned that Saturday nigh
thieves broke into a car Of merchan,
disc in the Illinois Centraliya here
and secured rich haul Of merchan.
disc. The car was from Memphis and
was in transit. The total amount Of
the robbery is not known.

hard work Of the camp began today.
Most Of the men Of the Battery were
given town permits last night and
while all Of them were not in uniform
there were enough in uniforms about
the tciy to give Greenwood an air OF
being more or less a military post
At ten o'clock yesterday morning two
hundred Of the two hundred and twen-
ty odd men enrolled had reported
The remainder reported later during
the day.
Judging from appearances the boys
enjoyed their first day in camp ano
anticipate with pleasure the conclu

return to their homes for the night
but must report at five thirty or six
the next morning at camp. The out
of town men are being taken care OF
at the. school house.

THE DAILY C0MM0NWEALTHS
FUND FOR BATTERY c BOYS
M "a m IA M NJ
Contributions to Meet the Needs of Camp Sam
Keesler Made Splendid Headway- Visitors
Yesterday Impressed With Needs.
IA "a n "a h pa

There were numerous visitors to
Camp Sam Keesler all day yesterday
to see the members Of Battery c, who
assumed their duties at 8 o'clock a..
m. in the service Of Uncle Sans
army.
Some of these visitors were so focc-
iblv impressed by their observations of
the many needs Of our soldier boys
that they came to The Daily Com
monwealth office today and made sub
stantial cash subscriptions to the fund
which the editor of this paper is rails
ing with which to supply the wants of
that splendid band of young patriots
who have so cheerfully volunteered
their services in behalf of the cause
eor which we are now at war with
Germany.
Camp Sam Keesler has over two
hundred young men within her con-
fines, and they have not as yet been
supplied with any thing by the U. S.
Government, except Al cents per cap
ita rations each day. This delay in
getting uniforms, cots, blankets, tents,
cooking utensils, etc., etc., here in time
to meet the present urgent needs of
the boys, who were ordered into camp
Yesterday morning, is probably not
the fault of the Government, but per-
haps is due to the inability Of the fac
tories to complete their orders for
these supplies in time to reach all OF
the camps throughout the country by
August 5th.
Regardless of the why's and the
wherefores, it is our duty as patriotic
citizens to come to the rescue with
our money and different useful arti-
cles for the comfort Of these boys
until the Government supplies arrive
here-and we are going to do it free
ly and cheerfully.
No committe will call to talk you
into" contributing to this fund. 1t is
purely a voluntary proposition on your
part The editor Of The Daily Com
monwealth was requested to let the
public know the real situation as it
actually exists with our soldier boys,
and to receive such voluntary contri-
buttons as anyone might see fit to make
to the cause and receipt for same.
Those who may have canned fruits
or cloths suitable for dish-rags are
requested to send them to the Camp,
as these articles are very much need
ed.
A right snug sum of money has been
received already, but the fund Should
by all means be swelled to $1,000, ,O0
Even II that amount isnot NEEDED while
the boys are in camp here, the fund
can be carried with them to their
training camp to be expended for lit.
tie things they may need which are
not furnished by the Government.

scriptions to this fund to date:
