PERMITS TO VOLUNTARILY ENTER
OTHER ARMS OF SERVICE TO BE
DISCONTINUED AND ALL MUST
BE DRAFTED.

Chairman Walter Maynard and
Secretary E. A. Nesbit, of the Sumter
county local exemption board, have
authorized announcement that no more
permits will be issued men between
the draft ages, who have been as
signed to Glass la to enlist in
branches of service that are prefer
red by such individuals.
Heretofore numbers of young men
from Sumter county who showed a
preference for navy service h4ge
been permitted to enlist therein by
the local board here, and already
there are many who were placed il.
Glass la in that branch of service
Acting under orders for their S,
periors, however, rule has been
passed by draft officials here pre-
hibiting the voluntary enlistment of
Glass la men in future.
The effect of the new rule is t"
place every man in Class Ia upon
equal footing, and to require all of
them to go into the military service
as their numbers are reached under
the operation of the selective ser.
vice act. Practically all of those who
have gone from Americus in draft
quotas heretofore have been inducted
into the infantry branch of service,
and the new ruling indicates that
future draftees sent from here will
also go into that branch

Twenty thousand dollars will be
given The Third District Agricultural
and Mechanical school here by the
Georgia legislature at the current
session.
The bill appropriating this amount
has already been introduced in the
house by Representative Stephen
Pace and yesterday afternoon was
passed by large majority. Senator
NJ. B. Council will support the mea-
sure in the senate, and its adoption
there is practically certain.
The money appropriated is to be
used in replacing the fine Administra,
tion building which was destroyed by
fire several months ago, and in ad-
dition to the funds provided by the
state a considerable sum raised by
the friends of the school within the
district will be used in the erection
of the new building. Original plans
for tbs structure contemplated the ex-
penditure of $4,000 before its COM
pletion, but owing to the advance in
price of labor and building materials
it is extremely likely that this esti-
mate will be exceeded by a substantial
sum.
Work on the new Administratio2
building was commenced some time
ago and had progressed substantie
when the erection of Souther Field
was undertaken, when practically
every available skilled worker in the
county was called into service of the
contractors there, and construction
work at the school was practically
stopped. A limited number of work
men continued there, however, and
soon it is proposed to augment this
force considerably. Students a. the
school have materially assistts in
the building operations by cHnsing
