NUMBER AT
WHY FOUR PAGES TODAY

NO, beloved, The RobeSonian has
not changed its size permanently nor
is it quite pleased itself with coming
out on one of its regular publication
days in abbreviated form; but siren
uous work was required Friday and
Friday night in getting out an extra
giving some 900 names of the young
men of Robson drawn for mil
itary service, and that undertaking
makes it necessary to come out with
only four pages today. Inasmuch as
three papers, total of 20 pages fill
ed with reading matter, were sent to
eacn subscriber last week it is hoped
that every one will appreciate the
eternal fitness of things, not expect
the impossible, and overlook the size
of the paper and the amount of read
ing matter in the paper today. Any
deficiencies in today's paper will be
made up in subsequent issues and the
paper will appear hereafter in its reg
ular SPACE form.

SELECTION OF WAR ARMY
Who Shall Go First Among Those
Registered Determined by Chance
Soldiers Chosen by Draft Will be
in Training by MidlSeptember-
About Half Will be Exempted


y
Fill Regular Ranks First
Washington Dispatch, July 20.
This was the day OF the nations
selection from among its sons to fill !
Up the ranks of the armies of democ-
racy. Who shall go first among the
ten millions registered for service was
determined by chance in a carefully
devised lottery, and the Federal gov
ernment has converted it's registra-
ton list into muster roll with ev-
cry registrant set down in the exact
order of his liability to call.
! The drawing of the lots is the clim-
ak Of the nations effort to build up
a great military force on the princi
pie Of universal service. Only the
simpler tasks of examination and ex
emption, mobilization and training
now remain. For this work long
established rules can be followed, but
in the steps taken heretofore, the
government has been forced to make
way of it's own.
Already President Wilson has for
mally ordered to the colors $4,000 Of
the men for whom lots were drawn
today and most of them will be in
| training by mid September. To pro-
vide that many physically fit and
| without exemptions the War De-
! partment will summon for exemption
the 1,374,O00 who are found at the
head of the muster roll.
If more are needed to provide a net
! quota of 687, 900 soldiers, those stand
. ing next in order will be summoned.
So, too, will the choice pass on down
the line, when future increments are
needed. Military men estimate that
about every other man summoned
| will be exempted and on that basis
the ten million whose order of liza
! bility is to be determined today should
yield close to five million soldiers
before the roll is exhausted.
The first of the 687 1000 men to be
= actually called into service-those
: standing at the very top Of the liza.
bility Ist-probably will 60 to fill
:, the ranks of the regular army to wal
f strength. Something like 10000 viii
: be needed for that, and they may be
D called before September. Then
: large number next in order probabl!
n will be assigned to fill the Nationa
4 guard to war strength and the re
: mainder-about 500, O,OO0-assembed j
the National army Fsss
i Every precaution was taken t.
K make the drawing today absolutel,
$ fair. An elaborate scheme worked
: out in weeks Of study to save tim
d and labor and crowd the entire pro
O cess into an hour was abandoned las
night, when it was discovered tha
n registration boards in some section
IS had misunderstood the instruction
e for numbering registration cards
making some inequalities possible
Officials in the provost marshal gen
erals office declared today that tn

FOUR CASES OF POISONING

Mr.. Regain Mcintyre Had Narrow Es-
cape From Death From Eating Wa.
termelon-It is Thought That Too
Much Nitrate of Soda Had Been
Used-Man Who Ate of Same Mel
on Also Deathly Sick-Two Other
Men Showed symptoms of Some
Kind of Poisoning Saturday Night
Mr.. Regan Mcintyre came as near
dying Friday night as a man could
come without dying as a result, it is
growth of which had been hastened
by too much nitrate of soda. He ate
of the melon about II a. m. Friday,
suffered with headache in the after
noon, and about p. m. he fell on the
floor at his home on East Fifth street
in a violent convulsion. Drs. T. C..
Johnson and N. A. Thompson arrived
a few minutes later and until / a.
m. the next morning Mr.. Mcintyre
had violent convulsions every ten
minutes, and from l to the convul-
ions continued about 4 an hour. DR..
johnson remained with him all night
and it took heroic work to save his
life. At a. m. Friday he was out
of danger and has been improving
since.
Mr.. d. F. Ellis of East Lumberton,
who ate of the same melon, also was
violently i'll Friday night, DR.. H. T.
Pope being with him all night.
Messrs. R. H. and G. w. William
son, who live on one of Messrs. White
& Coughs farms, at the Wishart
place, about miles from town on the
Fairmont road, became very sick Sat
urday night, showing symptoms Of
some kind Of poisoning. They hac
frequent vomiting spells and became
so numb they could not move. They
grew worse until 1 a. M, when thei1
wives had to go together to the near
est residence to get some one to g
for physician. DR.. T. c. johnson
arrived about a. m. and had to sta,
until 5 a. m. when they were out O.
danger. It could not be determined
whether their poisoning was from
something they had eaten or from
working in tobacco.

Other County in the United States
Program This Week-AI-Day
Demonstrations Being Held and
Ladies Are Showing Keen Interest
Coming Saturday to the end of the
fourth week of the countrywide can
ming demonstration campaign, Miss
Nena Rhyme, home demonstration
agent for Robson, is very much graf
flied with the marked interest that
ladies all over the county have shown
in this work. Interest has increased
with each week. In spite Of rains
and bad roads, ladies have attended
the meetings we'll, some coming from
distance to attend. At Marietta
Friday, in spite of rain, 40 ladies at
tended the all-day meeting, which
was held in a shed in the town. An
equally good meeting was held last
Wednesday at Hillside, near Raemon,
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. N. J. Nc
Rimmon, some ladies coming as far
as ten miles to attend. Good meet
I ings have been held at other places.
Nearly DO public all-day demonstra-
tions have been held about over the
=
; ed four weeks ago.
Program for This Week
Wednesday-Broad Ridge.
Observation-Disclosures.
Friday-Rex.
, Shannon.
All these will be all-day meetings
as have been most of the meetings
held over the county. Miss Rhyme
will be assisted this week, as she ha;
been for the four weeks past, by Miss
Lila Melvin of Bladen county. Mis-:
Rhyme will meet her club girls Mon
day and Tuesday at Philadelphus AM
Harmony, So no canning demonstra
tions hive been arranged for the frs
two days Of the week.
Biggest Canning Campaign Ever I'm

That this is the biggest cannin,
campaign ever undertaken in an.
: county, not only in North Carolin;
but in the United States, is the state
ment of Mrs. Jane S. MvKimmon o
: the State Department of Agricultur
at Raleigh, who is in a position t
, know whereof she speaks. Mrs. Nc
Kimmon has spent a day Or So i
! the county since the campaign bega

XLVIH
MILITARY DRAFT CARRIED
OUT AS PLANNED

Order of Liability of 10000, 900 Reg
lstrants Determined - RobesOn's
Quota 356-Those Drawn Further
Down Than List Published i'm Rob-
esonian Saturday will Not be Sum-
mOned in First Draft
The drawing at Washington that
100000 registrants was completed
Saturday after officers and clerks of
Provost Marshal General Crowder's
office worked all Friday night. In
a statement issued Saturday night
Gen. Crowder said that the drawing
was complete and had been apparent
ly successful.
The next step will the certifica-
tion of the results of the drawing
to 1857 local boards and the appli-
cation by each board of it's chart to
the serially numbered list. Every
registered man is given a definite
place in the liability for service list.
Already 687 900 have been ordered to
the colors to fill to war strength the
regular army and national guard to
constitute the first increment of the
national army. To secure that total
1,374,00O men will be called for ex-
animation within a few weeks, offic-
ials estimating that two registrants
must be called for every soldier ac-
cepted. These 1,374,0O0 will be TAX
en- from the head of the liability list
every local district furnishing fix
ed quota.
Robeson's quota is 356-180 from
district No. /, 176 from district No
2. If two registrants are called fol
every soldier accepted, $50 men will
be called from district No. 1, anc
352 from district No. 2. These viii
be taken as they are drawn, so the
probability that any registrant Of
Robson county will be called whose
name was not published in the extra
The Robesonian published Saturda!
if negligible. About 450 names il
each district were published in tina
issue, so that it can readily be seer
that it is hardly probable that any
names near the end of that list will
be called in the first draft. The,
will retain the same order of liabil
ity for future drafts but will not b
summoned for the first army.
In Thursdays paper The Robson
ian will publish the order Of liablllt
of other registrants of the county
merely as a matter of interest, bu
any whose names did not appear i
the list published Saturday are. to
far down the list to be reached o
the first call.
