80 NEWLY WEEDS ARE
PUT IN CLASS One
NOW UP TO THEM TO MAKE A
SHOWING BEFORE BOARD.
A GENERAL REVIEW.

After receiving a definite and pos
/ tive ruling on the classification OF
registrants who have married since
! MAY 18, 1917, the local exemption
board met Thursday and placed in
class one 80 Terrell county young
men who had married since that date
and were in deferred classes.
! The ruling stipulates that such reg
istrants cannot be given deferred
classification on account of the de-
tendency of their wives, and can on
/ " be given such classification be-
cause of the dependency of child
of the marriage, born or unborn on
or before June 9, 1918.
Those who have been transferred
to class one have the privilege of
making a showing, on the above
grounds, why they should be given
deferred classification.
Sending Out Questionnaires.
The board, under instructions re-
Gently received, began today, June
25th, and will continue three days,
to send out questionnaires to the Sc
young men made subject to military
service under the registration of
June 9Th.
The sending out of questionnaires
is being done on the same principle
as heretofore, except that the board
has been ordered to proceed accord
ing to the registration number of
registrants and to defer making any
entries on the classification list until
after the order numbers have been
assigned. The order numbers will be
decided later on by the war depart
ment.
Reviewing Several Glasses.
By order of the war department
the local board on Monday began a
review of registrants in classes two,
three and four, for the purpose of
reclassifying any who might have
been put in a class to which they do
not belong. Thousands of regis
trants," says the order, "are now in
class four who should be in class
one"
a call has been issued for 206 ne
gro grammar school graduates in
Georgia to entrain for Savannah July
LIST to take a special course at a ne
gro industrial school.
The Terrell county board will send
two or three of this number, and will
receive volunteers, until tonight.
Bench wood workers, blacksmiths,
carpenters and truck drivers are
wanted
On next Monday the board will
begin examination of all who were
put in class five on account of ply
steal deficiency. The examinations
will be made under new rules ISSUED
by the department.

HOT SPELL in TEXAS
HELPS COTTON MARKET
BULLS REGAIN CONTROL OF
REINS ON HIGH TEMPERA-
TURE IN SOUTHWEST.

Extremely high temperatures in
the southwest abruptly stopped the
bears raid on the cotton market last
week. The result was sharp up
swing in all future options.
Buying fall positions by spot firms,
persistent demand for Liverpool &C
count and covering of shorts by pro-
fessional ring operators and Wall
street on the hot wave in the western
belt, particularly Texas, furnished
the principal feature IN the week just
closed
The bears were in control Of the
market during the first three days,
due to splendid crop advices.
News that temperatures at most
stations in Texas were sizzling be-
tween 100 and 10 degrees sent a
chill down the bears backs, and they
scrambled to cover, followed by a
rush among spot firms for distant
months. This was trailed by good
buying orders from trades interests,
which, together with liberal selling
orders from ring professionals and
the South, rendered the market a
healthy undertone.
Bullish technical conditions also
favored the market, and it was easy
sailing for the bulls. The result was
a perpendicular rise of more than
100 points from the weeks low levels.
Crop advices from the eastern belt
were irregular, but complaints Of in
creased weevil activity daily are in
creasing. This applies mostly to South
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and
Florida.
Texas Reports First Bale.
Texas reported the seasons first
new bale of cotton Friday. 1t was
received at Galveston from Stark
county. Last year the first new bale
was reported by San Antonio on June
8 from Lyford.
News from Texas says cotton is
blooming in the banner counties and
should open early in August. Texas
crop this season promises to be a
large one, but should excessive tenn
peratures continue no doubt the
yield will be considerably curtailed.
High temperatures are regarded as
helpful to cotton, as it progresses
rapidly on heat, provided it receives
ample moisture, but as Texas rain
fall is sharply below the normal aver
age the hot weather is looked upon
as decidedly unfavorable.
While the governments July con-
dition report probably will be high
it is causing no uneasiness among
those friendly 20 the constructive side
of the market, as the most critica
days of the crop are yet to come
Therefore, an early bright promise
does not insure large crop. For the
last five years June has been 9 ia
vorable period for the crop. June i
