HAD BETTER NOT CO
FISHING ON JUNE 9TH
If You Do, and if You Are Sub
jeCt to Draft, You'll
Go to Jail

District Attorney Hooper Alexander
was full of indignation Saturday morn
ing over the way some few of the
citizens of Georgia were viewing regis
tration day, June 5, and declared that
If any man between the ages specified
failed to register he would be prose-
cuted to the full extent of the law,
and that no excuse whatever for failing
to register would be accepted.
at makes me hot unuer the collar"
said Mr. Alexander, ito hear of some
one trying to get out of registering.
1t is a solemn duty every man owes his
country and which every man must
perform.
There seems to be a mistaken idea
among the people about what is to be
done on June 5. 1t is not CONSUMPTION
day, but merely a day set aside for
gathering information so that the gov
eminent may know what men it has to
conscript.
THE day should be set aside by bust
ness men as holiday, and every man,
woman and child should go to the reg
istration place and spend the day there
No business should be allowed to in
terfere with 1t, and everybody who
possibly can should be at the places
where the young men of the county
are registering"
Mr. Alexander said he had received a
communication recently from a young
man in Georgia stating that he wished
to go fishing the first of the month and
it would be inconvenient for him to reg
lister.
81 have made no reply to the letter."
said Mr.. Alexander, but if that young
man or any young man goes a-ishin' or
a-frollicllin' or anywhere but to the reg
istering place. 1 can't imagine the wrath
of a court which will try him later
for failing to comply with the presi-
debts proclamation.
even sick men must register. If
they Cannot get out of bed and go to
the polls, they must have some agent
TO see that a blank is properly filled
out apd sent in. There is no excuse
for anybody which will be acceptable
to the government, and just as sure as
any one fails TO register he will be
prosecuted.
81 hope that this office will not have
TO handle a single case, for l think
every man between the ages announced
should come forward and give the gov
eminent the information it needs.
Another thing L think should be
stressed in Georgia, is the fact that
every county should rush plans for
handling the registration. I saw in the
paper the other day where Governor
Harris announced that only fifty-six
out of 152 counties in the state had
completed their plans
Georgia must not fall down in this
duty, and every man must cooperate
to make it q success. Plans for hand
ling the registration should be com
pIeted right away They should have
been finished FIVE days after the procla-
nation was issued"
Attorney Alexander will issue a
statement to be printed in Sundays

June 5, giving complete information as

PLENTY Of OPPORTUNITY
FOR BOYS TO VOLUNTEER
Georgia National Guard Still
Is Badly in Need
of Men
NY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The pa
triotic youth of Georgia and other states
who are opposed to the selective draft
as a means of raising an army will
have ample opportunity for volunteer
ing for military service. The national
guard of the several states must be
recruited to full war strength, and vol
unteers will be accepted to fill up the
complement.
According to announcement by the
war department, the national guards
of every state is sadly depleted and
thousands of able-bodied men will be
required to bring it to war footing.
The Georgia national guard is delin-
ouent in the following units Two
battalions of infantry, one regiment of
field artillery less two batteries, bat
talon of engineers, one wireless COM
pany, one outpost company of signal
corps, one supply company, one engi-
neer company, one field hospital COM
pany, two ambulance companies, one
regiment of cavalry, one regiment of
cavalry, one regiment of heavy field
artillery.
Every effort will be made to fill up
these delinquencies. which include the
organization of whole regiments and
companies, and If they are not Sc
cured by volunteering, then the gov
eminent will resort to drafting just as
will be done in the matter of the pro-
visional army,

Hollweg Named In
Letter of Revolution
By German People

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Warning
that any renouncing of Germany's vie
tories will have for immediate conse-
quence a revolution" was contained in
letter by the Pan-German union on
May 8 and published in the Vorwaerts
in Berlin. The letter and the reply of
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg, TO
whom it was addressed, appeared IN
the paper under the heading, The Rev
dictionary Threat"
The German chancellor was warned
in the letter that the population was
bordering on desperation. The chan
cellor was urged to state Germany's
war aims and was told that unless
those aims correspond to desires of the
people they will rise and sweep away
the monarchy.
The Pan-Germans were sharply re-
minded by the chancellor in his reply
that their duty to the crown was to
wait and not to force the government
TO take a position it was not ready
to formulate. He said that if a revolu-
tion did occur the responsibility would
be with those who have not combatted
such a tendency.

DIR. WAITE GAMEST
MAN EVER TO DIE
IN ELECTRIC CHAIR
Slayer of Wife'S Father Enters
Death Chamber Eagerly,
Leaves Message for No One
and Smiles Even in Death

OSSINING. y. Y, May 25.-"He was
the gamest man that ever went to his
death in Sing Sing"
This was the verdict today of prison
officials and authorized witnesses who
saw DR.. Arthur Warren Waite. arch
poisoner, scientifically killed in the
electric chair last midnight
Waite. who murdered his father-in-
law. John f. Peck, of Grand Rapids.
Mich. and his mother-in-law. by poison
and germs. in an effort to gain the fam
lily fortune, died in the firm belief tha;
he would be born again in another
world At the last he made arrange
ments with New York spfritualist 20
send messages from beyond. He will
be buried near the prison.
Waite displayed utter indifference to
all friends, acquaintances and relatives,
including his mother, in his last hours.
Rev. Peterson, the Presbyterian
chaplain. asked the condemned man if
he had any message to leave
81 have nothing to say to anybody
on this EARTH" Waite answered sharply.
Nothing to say to your mother?'
Nobody on this earth" he repeated.
The execution was conducted with
mathematical coldness. 1t was like a
surgical operation in its neatness and
precision.
When the witnesses had filed into
the big, white painted room-resem-
bling a lsboratory-and had taken seats
opposite the slenderly built chair, a
squad of guards was sent for the doom
ed man The door opened. There came
a rapid trampling of feet, then CHEEKY
call:
Goodbye. boys"
Goodbye. Waite. So long, Artie
God bless you. Waite"
II was the men in the death cells.
Waite strobe briskly in, ahead of
his escort His eye was clear, his
step iauntly. He seemed vigorous, ra-
dating life and energy. Four strides
to the chair, and Waite took them
eagerly His face was wrinkled in
broad SIN lie, a laugh trembled on his
lips.
The Lord is my Shepherd. l shall
not want" spoke the minister, DR.. A.
y. Peterson. "He leadeth me"
But Waite was not listening. While
guards adjusted the straps, he glanced
over the crowd, as if looking for a
friend His smile was fixed Then
the death mask. But through its slit,
the smile still cleaned.
Yea, though l walk through the
valley of the shadow"
The power had been turned on, and
the minister's voice trailed away into
silence. Two thousand volts were
crashing through Waite's body. The
dying mans left fist clenched. From
his bare right knee | thin ribbon of
smoke curled up.
II lasted one minute, fifteen seconds.
The fist relaxed. The body sagged. A
consultation of doctors, then another
shock was ordered. Five seconds-the
fist cIinched again.
He was still smiling when they took
off the death mask and bore the body
away.
