THE STATE FAIR.

To the People of Tennessee:
The General Assembly of the
State of Tennessee has made large
appropriations to the Tennessee
State Fair and it has been aided
and encouraged by all departments
of the State at large would profit
by the supervision of the State
Fair Trustees, and I.beg to call to
the attention of those engaged in
agricultural pursuits the benefits
derived from attendance upon the
State Fair and from participation
in the exhibition of agricultural
products. In view of the great
necessity of an increased produc-
tion in all food stnffs, l believe it
would be profitable to all our far
mers to avail themselves of the op-
portunity for the advancement of
their own interests, which are of
fered by the State Fair manage
ment, if they would participate in
some one or more of the vario us
department in this State institution
Very respectfully,

WHY WE ARE AT WAR.

Some people think this world is
big enough to hold anything. 1t
is not. Any number of things
could be mentioned which it has
not room for. Certainly it is not
big enough to hold the nation the
United States of America aspires
to be and the nation the German
Empire aspires to be.
This nation is, as Lincoln said,
republic dedicated to the propo-
sition that all men are free and
equal. Despite all it's failures and
Shortcomings it aspires to develop
along these lines, to become a more
democratic nation as it becomes q
greater nation; to lead other na-
tions, by the force of its example.
to become free and strong and self
sustaining. With all it's record of
wars and conflicts, it's ideal is peace.
The one thing it values more
than peace is justice.
The German Empire is the last
great stronghold of the doctrine of
"divine rights" Of the belief that
that some men are appointed by
God to rule over the rest of man.
kind. 1t aspires, even as Caesar
and Genghis Khan and Napoleon
aspired, to world domination. 1t
is based on, q belief in force. For
two generations it has subordinat-
ed everything to military efficiency.
The right of the German Empire
to dictate to other. nations is an
accepted part of it's creed. The
use of any measure of force or
brutality thet will enable it to- do
so is openly proclaimed as a nation
al policy.
Two such nations could not con-
tinue to exist and to grow in
world no larger than ours. A clash
was inevitable. The world cannot
remain half democratic and b alf
autocratic.
This, in few words, is why we
are at at war, says the Southern
Agriculturisl. =,

WANTED

The following from the Martin
Mail can be applied to Camden:
This town is full of boosters
showers and pushers, and each is
working valiently toward a COM
mon end. The only difficulty in
the accomplishments OF definite re-
suits. as we see it, is that some be-
gin at the bottom and work up.
ward, while others start at the top
aud slide down.
Thus it is that when the two for
ces meet there is an inevitable con-
ffiictgofs opinion and resultant con-
fusion, ending as usual, in nothing
being done.
1t is the law of nature that corn
must sprout before it can,grow.
And so it should be with. us as
community.
No satisfactory results are ever
accomplished when a majority of
the people are working at cross
purposes, for that which is created
by one is dissolved by another.
We have the boosters, the shov-
ers and the pushers in this COM
munity, put what we need is "a
unity of purpose, each with has eye
centered upon the goal ahead, and
not upon the one behind.
The mule is prone to move back
ward when it's strength and energy
are most needed in a strong and
determined forward movement.
And we, brothers, should notsmul-
ate the mule.
1t would beea .slendid thing for
this town if we could get all of1the
boosters and showers and pushere
together and fix our mind upon
one certain goal, and then each
boost side by side and all together
as a unit until we attain the desir-
ed end. But success will come on
ly by beginning at the bottom and
working upward, always upward
withtvnever a halt or backward
glance until we reach the top.
We want to make c bigger and
more prosperous place. ceut, of ,our
home community.
Isn't it possible forsusto adopta
policy, one upon which we may all
agree, and in behalf of which we
may labor in unison?
Our interests all lie in the future
and not in the buried past and it's
sorrows and dissppointments.
There is life and achievement
ahead, but it will require thought,
and energy, and unity, and action
to accomplish results.
Can we.not inject new lifeinto
our boosters andshovers and push
ers? Can we not utilize their won-
derful store of Intelligence, and en-
ergy, and perseverance, that is now

THE FIRST17O SELECTINE
DRAFT NUMBERS DRAWN

toward the mobilization of the
greatest army ever assembled on
the Western hemisphere. With
every man between the ages of FL
and 81 years subject to service and
tablatedin the order of his liability
as result of the draft drawing,
the>Government is rushing toward
thecompletion of the great task Of
whipping the first 687 900 into an
army of first class fighting men.
The drawing of draft numbers
was successful. Ten thousandIfve
hundred numbers were used, COW
. ering the liability to service of ten
million men. The first number
drawn (258) means that the men
holding that number were liable to
military service first, and so on
,rdown theline until ell were drawn.
The first thousand numbers repre-
:, scented approximately one million
men.
Tennessee's full quota for the
nsw National Army is 22,12O men.
On account of enlistments since
April this number is reduced to
A4 ,528 men, her quota for the Fed
eral draft.
Benton County's quota is 116
znen, but there are rs enlistments
Mn field artillery and in the regu-
3er army, which has reduced this
to IS men, the number the county
as now called upon to furnish.
As stated Benton County will
furnish IS of her boys for the first
military draft and ITO men (two
hundred per cent? have been called
for examination by the local ex-
emption board and from this num-
Der the first increment of the great
National Army from this county
will be selected.
The men will be called for exam
anation in the order in which their
serial numbers were drawn in
Washington July 21. On that day
the -selective draft passed out OF
the hands of the Government into
the hands of civilian boards which
,lhsve been appointed throughout
the country. Appeal boards have
also been appointed,for the appel
ate districts of the United States.
ALI members of these boards are
civilians.
The local exemption board is
composed of DrsJ. L. Freeman, W.
A.Steele and WIZ. Maiden. The
men will appear before the board
in the following order: One-third
next Monday, one-third Tuesday
and one-third Wednesday.
The West Tennessee Appellate
Board is composed Of Charles Nj
Barnett, G. P.J. Mooney, DR.. l.. L.
Alexander, DR.. f. M. McRee and
,J. d. Martin.
The first thing to understand
I'm the draft numbers is that every
aman who registered June 5 was
given a red ink number and that
che drawing July 81 was for the
purpose of placing each of these
numbers in it's regular turn to be
scalled.
To avoid another drawing in the
future ever number was given its
proper sequence, thus the first
number drawn, -25S, will be the
first man called in each of the
1857 exemption districts of the
United States. Ae there were TO-.
500 men registered in the largest
district there were thet number OF
drawings made. However, as all
of the South's quota for the next
three National Armies were cover
ed in the first 5000 plumbers those
wbose numbers did not'appear will

The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1917-08-03

"A puzzllng feature to some people
is that in dropping out numbers
larger than which appears in the
district list the numbers that do
appear in the list are given local
sequence, bringing those local
numbers forward in their turns to
Ebe.called.
Being notified to appear before
the board does not mean that a
man has been selected. He first
will be given a medical ezamina-
Etion and il he, passes this examina-
ftion then his claim for exemption,
if he has any, will be passed upon.
While the draft was made for
the entire list of registrants the
country over, only those who are
includedp.in the first call are af-
fected atthis time. AS more. men
are needed they will be called in
the order of the draft. The War
| Department does not intend to
| have another drawing for second
| call, but to issue summons strictly
in conformity to the order of the
draft. IA little thought will pre-
vent much confusion. The rule
that applies here applies in every
part of the country.
Should the quota call, after the
exemptions, not be sufficient, the
board is authorized tosdraw addi-
tional men in the order of the
draft until thexquota of a division
is completed. 1t is thought, how
ever, that ample allowance for
exemptions has been made in
doubling the required quota.
The following is partial list of
numbers in Benton County drawn
for military service. The first 170
serial numbers, which follow in Sc
quence, counting down the column,
will be included in the first call of
l70. The list was prepared by the
local district exemption board in
accordancerwith instructions from
Washington and is accurate.
We attempted to prepare the
figures last week for the, purpose
of giving the people an opportunity
to ascertain who were drafted, but
we found upon comparison of the
telegraphic reports from Washing
ton that there were many errors in
thenumbers due, no doubt, to mis-
takes in transmitting them over
the wires.
J Possibly one-helf of the men
who registered in Benton County
on June 5 for the selective draft
) have not learned their places in
the National army drawing. 1t is
} tedious task to pick out the num-
bers drawn for military service, as
thousands of numbers do not apply
to Benton County. Any figures
highter than 993 do not apply to
Benton County.
Having the entire list numbered
, in their turn to be called will mean
that every man will know his place
, and when the numbers before him
, have been called to service then
Benton County. The first column
of numbers which follows is the
, number on draft list and the Sec
end is the red letter serial number:
