Will Go to Lockhart.

Mr.. Wallace +. Prescott has &C
cepted the superintendency of the
high school at Lockhart, Union
county, where Rev. j. I. Little
John is now serving as pastor. 1t
is probable that Mr.. Prescott will
move his family to LocKhart about
the first of September. While we
have all along realized that Mr..
Prescott is capable Of filling a larg-
err place than any school of the
west-side can offer him, yet we
regret that our county is to lose
such people as Mr.. and Mrs. Pres
colt. Their place cannot easily be
filled.

Automobiles are great road build
ers but if a number of large farmers
and country merchants begin to use
auto trucks for heavy hauling a
greater stimulus will be given to
road building. 1t appears to us
that some of our country merchants
who haul large quantities of mer.
cEandise from Edgeield and who
also haul cotton and cotton seed to
Edgefeld, could proftably use a
heavy auto truck.
Mr.. II. J. Paul has sold his brick
building near the Presbyterian
church where he conducted his
garage to DR.. J. G.. Tompkins
and the garage will be continued by
Mr.. James H. Tompkins. He is a
frst-class machinist himself and by
employing capable help he will be
able to take care of all the business
i~ntrusted to him. Mr.. Tompkins
will make this one of the best auto
hospitals in this part of the country.

UNDER NEW DRAFT RULES

Washington, Dec. Under the
new draft rules and regulations eff
fective December Is, men convicted
of failing to register on last June
will be dealt with more harshly than
under the old system. Provost Mar
shal General Crowder announced to-
day that such men, instead OF being
given Jail sentences as has been done
in many cases heretofore, will be
listed by local boards so as to insure
their call with the first increment
summoned after the new rules are
put into force.
Local boards are directed not to
send the registration cards of the
convicted men to their State Adju-
tant General for serial numbers as
signment, but to place them at the
top of the first class liable for call.
Thus the men, it was pointed out,
will forfeit all chances of the master
list rotation except in cases where
physical condition or terms of the
law require exemption or deferred
classification.
Men now under suspended sem
tence for failing to register also will
be listed at the top of the first class,
it was announced.
