Mr.. Thos. H. Carloss, Sr., one Of

highly esteemed citizens, died at his
home, two miles west of town July

Until recently he had been hale and

Mr.. Carloss was born in Sumner
county, Tenn, in 1927 and came with
his parents to this county in 1887
in an old-fashioned movers wagon,

known Origin.

The residence of j. w. Edwards,
on O'Neill avenue, was partially de-
stroyed by fire about 1870 O'Clock

Thursdays State).

With intense interest diverted for
the moment from the fighting fronts,
where there has been a noticeable
slackening in hostilities, attention is
focused on the convening Thursday
afternoon of the German reichstag.
AT the openin gsession will be heard
the first utterance of the new imperial
chancellor, DR.. Michaelis, concerning
his stand on the war-utterances that
naturally will be momentous, mas
much as they will indicate whether,
with the recent changes in the Ger
man government, Germany is to con-
tinue her warfare without abatemnt
or whether the desires for peace that
have been heard so often in Germany,
and especially in the reichstag, are
anything but empty expressions.
The probable attitude of the chan
cellor already has run the gamut of
diverse speculation, but as vet moth
ing has been evolved from the many
unofficial discussions of the man and
his ideas and intentions.
Some writers express the belief that
the new chancellor's leanings will be
toward the peace views of the ma
Jorlty bloc in the reichstag; others
have advanced the opinion that his
policy will be tina tof the militaristic
party and there are others who con-
slider his assumption of Office merely a
PART of a stopgap program prelimi-
nary to the formation of something in
the nature of dictatorship.

Washington, July 18.-Advices to-
da5 Brig. Gen. Crowder, the provost
ns sal general, indicated that the
naS Ifal lottery to determine the order
Of liability of 10,000,0OO men regis
tered for military service could be
held next Friday. Preparations to
make the drafting on that day went
ahead rapidly, although final de-
cision as to the date can not be made
until the last governor has actually
reported that the local exemption
boards in his State have finished their
task.
Details of the mechanism to be en-
ployed in the drawing have not been
revealed. Present plans are for the
lottery to take place in the capitol
building with the members of the SEN
ate and house military committees as
witnesses. The entire proceeding is
not expected to take much more than
one hour.
Gen. Crowder was in conference to-
day with the newspaper correspond
ents over arrangements for the draw
ing. The press is relied upon to carry
to individuals throughout %ne country
the information as to when they will
be required to appear before exemp,
ton boards and every effort is being
made to suit the conveniences of the
papers as to details.
The task of transmitting the long
lists of numbers by telegraph is {
problem of considerable proportions
but the press associations and tele.
graph companies are making efforts tc
insure both speed and absolute &C.
curacy in transmission. There is more
concern over the task Of the individual
newspapers after they receive by wire

APPEALS sFOR 0if l.s

The women of Union have sent 100
pillow cases to France. The material
was donated by the Lockhart, Mon
arch, Ottaray, Union and Buffalo
mills; since that we have applied for
and received a charter to organize a
Red Cross chapter in Union county.
We have few dollars on hand and
l. is up to the ways and means COM
mittee to furnish the money to buy
the material to keep all interested
hands busy. Just how patriotic are
you? Think it over! Oh! do not saw
Il gave dollar last month";" Remem-
ber the men in the trenches never
complain, no teven at the last drive.
If the mel of Union county exceed
their quota by 33-not counting the
volunteers who are not included
surely the women can excel in the
same or even greater proportions.
Put your shoulder to the wheel and
respond to every call made by the
ways and means committee. Right
now we need 5000 with which to be-
gin work. We want to make a drive
for this and all of you who read this,
see how many people you can call
on, bringing us your dollar, dimes and
nickels. Get busy and see who will
be the first. We want volunteer mon
ey! We want lots of it and we want
it right now. Let us put our county
on the map, as it never was on the
map before. Will you help us?

Focused
On German Politics

overcome the French gains in the Ver-
dun sector between the eastern edge
OF the Avocourt wood and Hill 3O4,
the Germans have ceased their costly
enterprise and now are contenting
themselves with throwing shells intot
the positions which Gen. Petain's men
forced them to evacuate.- Likewise
along the emin-des-Dames the vio-
lent infantry activity of the early
week has ceased.
The British and the Germans con-
tinue their violent artillery duels in
nortern Belgium and Field Marshal
Haig's forces are keeping up their
harassing patrol raids. One of the
most sunccessful of these enterprises
was carried out east of Monchy lie
Preux, in the Arras sector, the British
gaining ground and taking prisoners.
On the Russian front Gen. Korni-
lofts army in East Galacia is stub
bornly holding back the reinforced
Austro-German armies, which at va
rlous points are endeavoring to wrest
from them the positions recently won
IN the Haiicz ana Kaiusz sectors. In
the latter region near the village of
Novica the enemy won vantage point
from the Russians but Immediately
afterward lost it again. The Germans
are violently bombarding the Russians
south of BrZezany and near Halicz.
Late reports from Petrograd are to
the effect tina tthe disorders have been
quelled. In Tuesdays fighting in the
streets of Petrograd six persons were
killed and 238 wounded.

Dear Mrs. MiXson:
In reply to your letter of the 18th
inst. beg to say that the articles now
needed for our soldiers now are pa
Jamas, bed shirts, hospital linen, op-
Grating and convalescent gowns or
bath robes. The comfort bags are de-
sirable inasmuch as they contain many
useful articles that will add t. the
comfort of the soldiers. The hand
kerchiefs and doilies are always neeu-
ed in hospitals; in fact, are almost in
dispensable. You can get the pat
terms for bed shirts, gowns, etc, from
the Red Cross Distributing Center, Is
Peachtree St., Atlanta, and would ad-
wise you to write them.
With best fishes.
Yours very truly, -~'

First Draft for South Carolina
sfS Counties Announced

Columbia, July 14.-In the allot-
lrileht of Quotas, completed by the
governor's Office this afternoon, the
city of Charleston will have to furnish
N30A men on the first draft, out of the
10,O81 designated as South Cardinals
initial increment of the new national
army. The gross quota for Charleston
is 694, but 388 enlisted men in the Ma
tional Guard and the regular army and
two allowed that city from an overplus
of volunteering in Union county is the
cause of a material reduction.
The city of Charleston is sub-divided
into two districts. The first, includ-
ing wards one to six, inclusive, must
furnish 113 men and the second, which
contains the remainder of the wards,
is assessed for 191 men.
First Honors to Union.
Union county has the distinction of
not having to furnish a single man to
the first draft. Her gross quota is 274,
but enlistments in the regular army
and the National Guard, totaling 3O7,
gave her an overplus of 33 over her
requirements. This overplus was ap-
.Portioned to the exemption districts
throughout the State on the basis of
population. s
Charleston county exclusive of the
city, will have to furnish 24O on the
first draft Exclusive of Union coun-
ty Jasper county ,foots the list with
