EXAMINATION OF DRAFT

Reported That Some Want TO

CARTHAGE, Tenn. Aug. 6-The
exemption board began its work
in this county last Friday by ex-
amining the fifty men, who re-
sponded to the first summons.
Quite a crowd attended. compos-
ed not only of the men called.
but their friends and relatives as
we'll. The board called in the
assistance of DR.. Joe Bridges,
New Middleton; DR.. R. E. Key,
Monoville, and C. H. Donoho, of
this place, to assist in the exam
nations and the progress made
was good.
A large number of exemptions
are being claimed, most of which
are on account of dependents.
Three hundred and fifty men
have been summoned for exam
nation, out of which it was hop
ed the quota of 263 could be pro-
cured. However, it will take
considerably more, perhaps in all
as many as $50.
There is a feeling of quiet
submission on the part of those
called. with no enthusiasm. In
one section of the county. around

been contributed to test the val

in that county, and provisions
were made to care for state

the past few years jackson
county has been spending thous-
ands of dollars in the construc-
tion of good roads. The bond
route was selected and in every
section of the county the roads
were taken out of the creeks and
branches and given the proper
grades, and today she has roads
that would prove the pride of
any county. While the roads in
Jackson county are by no means
standard pixies, they are great
improvement over the old sys-

road due here at 2;17 O'Clock this
afternoon, struck an automobile
driven by Jack Hitchew of Mon

four other occupants of the car.
The others killed are Mrs. Rosa

of Crossville. Miss Dorothy
Dayton, of Crossville, received
injuries from which she died sew

Hughes, of Crossville, who was
another occupant of the car, is
reported to heve been hurt inter-
nally and is not expected to live.
Reports differ as to the cause
of the accident, some claiming
that Hitshew tried to cross in
front of the fast train, while
others state that the engine OF
the automobile went dead on the
track. None blame the engin-
eer or trainman.
The party were enroute to Dor

bodies that Mr.. Van Hoy, who
helped in the rescue work, was
said to have failed to recognize
his wife.
Mr.. Hitshew, who drove the
car is a prominent merchant of

Interesting Ball Game.

One of the most interesting
baseball games of the season,
was played last Saturday by the
Brownville High School team and
the Smiths chapel school boys.
The game was very vigorously
contested, much interest being
shown on both sides. The
Smiths chapel boys won what
they considered a great victory
over the B. H. S. team, the scores
being five to three.
This is not the first time that
the Smiths chapel school boys
had won a victory over the b. h.
s. Last year they won a game
over this team by a small score,
but this time they were consid-
cred more than a match for their
antagonist.

Colorado Springs is a noted

YOUNG men ADVISED TO
NOT SHIRK DRAFT.
Chairman Rutledge Smith Gives
Warning Of Consequences Of
Thoughtless Act.

Rutledge Smith, chairman of
the state council of defense and
a representative of the United
States in preparations for the
war, has some decided opinions
on the matter of the selective
draft and the question of exemp-
tions.
AS he is in close touch with
the government in all matters
pertaining to the selective draft,
his comment on conditions exist
ing in this and other states is
very pertinent.
Chairman Smith. when asked
for a statement about the draft,
and exemptions and the duty of
all true Americans, had this to
say:
Before it is TOO late / wish to
utter a warning to those who are
preparing to file exemption in or
der to escape military service.
Those who are contemplating
such a course may be properly
divided into three classes; First,
those who actually have depend
ents necessitating their presence
at home in order to provide sup
port; second, the thoughtless
man who has not given the conse-
uuences mature reflection. and
third, the coward who for selfish
purposes seeks to shield himself
by hiding behind a skirt. To the
first who has an honorable and
conscientious call of dependence
upon him the excuse is right in
law and morals.
Very Life Of American
Republic al Stake.
''The second who unthoughted-
" seeks to become exempt faces
a momentous and terrific conse-
quence, The man who deliber-
ately files an exemption, which
must pc under oath, cody and
deliberately seeks to escape the
duty of a citizen laid upon him
by his government. The solid
arity and the very life of the A
merican republic is at stake. 1t
must be defended by force of
arms. The world is at war and
there is no neutral power suffi-
cient to halt or stop the shock OF
battle until either the allied arms
or those of the imperial central
governments conquer. There
can be no middle ground. The
result of this war will determine
whether democracy-the people
shall rule or whether an i'm
perial Prussian millitarism shal
dominate the world. The issue
is clear and it will only be set
tied by spilling the life blood o.
millions of men. The United
States is calling upon ten million
men to protect the life of the re
public, the lives of its citizen
and their property.

his part of the burden in this aw

man and the finger of scorn WI

Exemption Claims
To Be a Stigma.
THE fathers and mothers Of
this land vii Iot permit their
children to De instructed by
school teachers not in sympathy
with the order of the day. There
never will be a time in the his
tory of this republic when any
man who claims exemption in
order to relieve himself from the
military burden in this the ma
tion's crisis will be elected to a
public office. because it will only
be necessary to resort to the pub
lie record which contains his af-
fidavit that he sought to be re-
lieved from military sesvice and
shoulder the responsibility upon
another to bring forcibly to the
attention of the people that he is
not a proper man to participate
in governmental affairs. The
man now prosperous in business
who seeks to continue prosper
Gus, if he, his sons or his broth
ers seek to evade military SER
vice, will before they appreciate
| find their business wrecked and
they themselves outcast from an
indignant society.
Moreover, these afhdavits of
exemption which will be part of
the public record, will be used
in many ways to discredit the
standing Of a man in his COM
munity. 1t is not difficult for US
to imagine that in after years
when some man is testifying in
a court of justice when the op-
posing counsel will ask him if he
did not file q solemn affidavit
seeking, to escape military SER
vice, and counsel will appeal to
the court or jury to hold as q
circumstance against a mans
character the matter of fact that
he sought to escape, or did escape
serving his country.

CARMEN ARE
DISSATISFIED

Altho Seattle street car motor
men and conductors are reported
as being dissatisfied with the de-
cision announced this week by the
mediation board which has han
died the carmen's demands, Ia
coma employees of the railway
company were still unwilling Sat
urday to express an opinion.
The street car men here de-
clare that they have not yet seen
a certified copy of the decision.
No denial is made of the fact that
an undercurrent of unrest and
dissatisfaction exists among GER
tain of the street car employees.
Secretary Morgan of the street
car mems union went to Seattle
Saturday to get copy Of the de-
cision. Seattle car men were sup
posed to have brought a copy of
it to Tacoma Friday night, and a
special meeting of the local union
was called, but they did not ap-
pear.
Tacoma motormen and conduc-
tors will consider the decision at
their regular meeting next Thurs
day, Morgan said.
