is no man to look at cattle. He
wouldn't even look at uncle Jim's
mule when he was here Christmas.
I have not met many, of the promi-
nent men here since I>have been up
here. Very few people stop and
shake hands on the street. Cousin
Percy pointed out Joe Hartman to
me one day, and the next day l was
walking up and down the street and
1 saw Joe coming and I made up my
mind to tell him that I was a cousin
of his friend, Walter Tusten, but
just when I was about to speak to
him, a policeman asked me what l
was doing walking UP and down the
street so much. I guess he thought
l was a German spy or a submarine
or something like that, and while /
was busy telling him where I was
from, Joe got away and I have not
seen him since, though I have not
walked up and down the street any
more, as 1 do not like to bother the
police force of any city.
I guess we will be home next week.
Cousin Percy tells me that he had
a letter from some friend of his
down South who says that the cot
ton is opening fast and the furniture
and vehicle business has already
opened up, and brother Stillman tells
me that the hotel people are wanting

So look out for US. If any of the
neighbors should be planning to send

but will take that meal with uncle

DISTRICT EXEMPTION BOARD.

The District Board for the West
ern District has adopted the follow
ing resolution:
"That the Government Agents of
all counties in the Western District
are hereby requested to have insert
ed in the local papers of the respec-
tive counties Of the Western District
a notice requesting all persons who
have any criticisms or objections to
make in regard to the actions of the
Local Boards in granting discharges
or exemptions, to submit afidavits
in duplicate to the Government
Agents of their county, setting forth
the facts upon which their criticism
or objections to the actions of the
Local Boards are based"
In the opinion of the Board, some
criticisms no doubt have been made
with reference to the actions of the
Local Boards in exempting parties
from military service, and the dis
trict board thinks it will have a
good effect upon the public if such
notice is given, to the end that all
persons who desire to make legiti-
mate criticisms can do so in the shape
of affidavits.
The Board has also made the fol-
lowing announcement:
"Our Board has discussed the mat
ter of having the Government Agents
appear before the Board, but we
have concluded that if the Govern
ment representatives appear before
the Board we would have to grant
the same privilege to representatives
of appellants OF claimants. We
therefore have determined that we
will not hear Government rey-esen-
tatives or other attorneys, except
where the Board especially requests
their presence. We will therefore
be glad if you will submit in writing
any information that you desire to
communicate to the Board with REF
erence to the appeals taken by you.
We think this will be fair to all
parties, and will enable us to con-
slider claims and appeals upon writ
ten evidence"
All complaints under the above
resolution should be filed with VIM.

useful things to have. Charlie Lyon
and John Calvert are still trying to
figure out just what to do with all
those pins.

GERMAN PRISONER
BELITTLES UNITED STATES

Paris, Sept. 2.-"It is a pity that
so much blood has been shed in
vain"
A German officer, taken prisoner
in the recent French advance north
of Verdun is thus quoted by the
Echo De LaRochelle and a staff Of
fcer who Intercepted the German
is given as authority for the inter
view. The German paid homage to
the heroic courage of the French
soldiers, but tried to discourage the
idea that help would be Forthcoming
from the United States.
"Why delude yourselves with Chi
merical hopes and thus prolong the
murderous struggle?" He went on
"You expect irresistible aid from
the United States. They promise it.
but they will never give it. We
know perfectly in Germany what to
expect as to the intentions of Presi-
dent Wilson: He is playing with
you; he will temporize without going
whole heartedly into the conflict.
"When you are hopelessly beaten.
he will be the arbiter of the situa-
ton and will impose a peace that
will be advantageous to no one but
the United States of America. He
will never compromise the stars and
stripes in an adventure on you,
front"
French officers vainly informed
the prisoner that thousands OF
American soldiers have landed ir
France and England and had
marched through the streets Of
Paris and London, that a division Of
American troops was preparing fol
service at the front; that other con
tingents, more important would ar
rive before the end of the year anG
that tn United States was arming
millions of men. .
"Those are only adroit maneuvres
designed to keep up the spirits Of
the combatants," replied the pris
oner.
The French officer said: eve
will convince you; you shall be con
Quoted before General Pershing, the
commander-in-chief of the Ameri

now here on the Verdun front. Yor
can question him yourself and yor
will learn whether it is the German
people or us who are being deceived
by those who govern" When the
escort came to conduct the prisoner
before General Pershing, big tears
rolled down his cheeks and he re
marked sadly: "Since that is thu
case, it is all over. We are lost"

DRAFTED MAN CANNOT
EAT, WORK OR PLAY

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 2.-Clalm-
ing that the drafted man for whom
they were pleading had been scarce
" able to eat, work or play since ne
was drawn for army service and that
the a would die before he reached
the fighting line, a claim Tor exemp-
ton was received by the Middle Ten
nessee exemption board yesterday.
This plea comes from one OF the
nearby counties and one member OF
the county board signs the appeal.
The affidavit also claims that the man
in question will be worth far more
to the country to be left alone on the
farm than to be taken into the army
The appeal in part, reads:
"Since he has been drafted in the
army he can neither eat, work or
play. His nature is such that he s
worrying himself to death. 1t is
questionable whether he would live
to get in a fight after he goes to
camp. The local board at -
told him that all the facts set out IN
this paper was not a good excuse
and that is why he did not send his
exemption papers. But since ne has
been accepted it has had such a de-
pressing effect and realizing that ne
will be worth so much more to the
government on the farm than in the
army, we think he ought to be ex-
empted, on agricultural grounds
Also he helps support two dependent
sisters and a father who is a delicate
man and has nine children. His
father --, is also a poor
man, can hardly make ends meet"
Members of the board refused to
state yesterday whether they would
grant the appeal or not.

~
name in your last two issues, al
though I have looked through both
papers carefully several times, l
have decided to seat myself and
drop you a few lines, hoping that
you may be induced to keep your
mind on your business, and me, more
when putting the names of prominent
people in your paper.
As you know I boarded the train
in Abbeville about three weeks ago
to pay cousin Percy's party call. You
know that I gave cousin Percy a
party Christmas, and of course he
should, according to the rules of So
ciety, have returned a party call.
Not having done so, I told Mrs.
Kerr that I would not allow the laws
of society to be trampled under foot
in any such way, as 1 am a law and
order man, and that we would go up
and pay the party call ourselves,
which we r o doing. Only I
find since I got up here that brother
Stillman is some richer than cousin
Percy and I have tried to feel at
home by spending most of the time
with the former. Brother Stillman
is living at a hotel, and eats hotel
rations every day which suits my in
digestion better than cousin Percy's
fare, as I can here get the white
meat of the chicken and the red meat
of the ham, as well as other accou-
trements which 60 along with a sick

I hope the furniture business and
the buggy and wagon business is
prospecting. If you should see any
body inquiring about anything in
either line tell them to see Sam Nc
Cuen, Roy Power or Jim Stark, as
I have no time to talk business at
present. I am trying to build up the
inner man for the future, and you
have no idea what a change of diet
will do for a man, especially the
change from what I have at home to
what we get up here.
You should take a trip up here
sometime. This is one of the lar,
gest towns in the state. They have
a great many skycrapers up here and
fine restaurants on every corner,
There are several streets here with
sidewalks on both sides of the
streets, and large houses higher than
a telegraph pole built on them. ]
