The apportionment made saturday by Capt. George H. Webb director of the draft for Rhode Island has been readjusted, as Provost General Crow der refused to allow credits for 20 more enlistments than were accounted for in his department. The general allows 2,792 credits for voluntary en- listments in the army since last May (navy enlistments do not count) and 1,540 credits for registrants indueted in the second draft in the past few months, so that the gross quota of the state is 5,640, minus these credits, leaves net quota of 1,263 white men, which will be sent to Camp Upton about May 25, and 45 colored men who will be indueted shortly thereafter
 Tn state division No. 1, which in cludes all of Washington county and East and West Greenwich in Kent county, the gross quota is 236, enlist ment credits 105, national army credit 61, net quota white 66, net quota col ored 4, eligible for full service in Class 1, 203 white and 20 colored men.
 Registrants in Class l will be able to tell where they stand as to liability to call by consulting the figures show ing the number of men in that class and who will be taken under the new call. For instance, the first 66 are assured of being in the present sum- mons, and others can form some esti- mate of their chances of being called soon by observing that 127 men will be left to be called in order after the new increment is sent to training camp. When this call is completed | Rhode Island will have left in Class only 4,650 white and IFS colored men | for future levies. Other men are ir Class 1 but they are either held for 1 limited service or are otherwise un- available for general army service. The resources of some districts will be SC depleted by this call that scarcely any l available men remain

FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN
CAHPA,,GN ISAT HAND

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign.
TO give evsry American an opportunity
to lend to his own government money
70 win the war and drive the Hun
back over the Rhine Is now at hand.
In every county In the state there is q
Liberty Loan committee. composed OF
loyal. energetic citizens, who are sub
scrfbing literally themselves and en-
so~saging others to subscribe.
II IL believed that the task Of OBJ
tanning subscriptions will be far cas-
isr IN this loan than in the past, de
spite the greatly increased quotas
given every zone and county. For.
surely che American people have
learned by this time what Liberty
Loan means, whaG 1t will do for the
country and what IL will do for the
man, whether he be farmer or mer-
chant or laborer, who saves his mon
ey and lends II, with interest, to
Uncle Sam. There is really no rea.
son why one loyal American should
have to chase another loyal American
all over . ten-acre field to ask him
10 do his duty.
II is believed that in this campaign
much greater proportion Of citizens
will 60 Voluntarily TO the banks or to
the committee and make their sub
scription directly, obtaining a Liberty
Loan button and thus declaring they
have done their duty to their country.
A great many OF our citizens have
registered for the new draft, but they
realize that there is but sAght oppor-
tunity OF their services being actually
required IN the war 1t would be an
excellent thing II those men whose
names are now on the roll and who
feel sure Of exemption because OF age
Or family dependents or disabilities
would consider themselves, even now,
"in the service" and devote whatever
part of their incene they can spare

FARMER TO PUT
LIBERTY LOAN
over TOP AGAIN

Atlanta, Gs.-The Treasury Depart
ment OF the United states is depend
ing upon the farmer to put she fourth
Liberty Loan triumphantly over the
top in the South. just as be did in
the Third Loan, when the percentage
OF subscriptions from the rural dis
tricts was very high. the farmer sub
Bcribing to by far the greater share Of
the issue.
The card system to be used In this
campaign will enable the committees
and the govern slsnt to keep careful
check on the subscriptions made by
every man in the country. and by eV-.
cry occupation, The government il
anxious that every citiAen own at
least few Liberty bonds. and those
who are shown on the record not to
have invested at all will be especially
solicited.
Reports from the county chAirmen
OF Liberty Loan committees to w. c
Wardlaw, district executive chairman.
and st. Emo Massergale, director Of
publicity, indicate absolute optimism
for the Fourth loan. despite the high
er quotas assigned every territory.
Our people have given their sons
and brothers to this war" they say.
"Do you think they are not going to
back up the boys with their dollars?"
Our Southern farmers. too, have
been taught the value Of bonds as an
too. Tho other campaigns
were campaigns Of education, but this
isn't 30 necessary now, Every man
who has q bond or two tucked away
In. his strong box or IN the bank is
anxious to put few of the Fourth
Issue beside them"
The campaign for the Fourth loan
will ortLnue only three weeks. from
20 to October 10. inclusive.
Within that time each county and
state must raise its quota, It will take
hard work on the part Of the commit
tees. and this will be made much cas-
Ter by every mans making up his
mind what he can invest in bonds and
meeting the committee half way.

INTERMENT MADE
FRIDAY AFTERNOON
Life History of T. R. Harris
Made Briefly In Own
Words.

l. r. r. Harris. who died Wednes'
day at p. m. was made Friday
at l O'Clock at Rosewood cemete'
ry. Interment had been set for
10 o'clock with funeral services
at Owen Church, but it was de-
layed awaiting the arrival of Her.
bert Harris, of Blockton, Ala, a
son, who had missed the morn
ing train in Chattanooga thru
failure of the hotel management
to arouse him in time. and conse-
quently he had to come thru in a
car. The funeral sermon was
preached by Rev. G. C. Grower
of Jasper. Rev. Meters, of South
Pittsburg. of the C. P. Church,
also made an address. There
was a large attendance at the SER
ice as Mr.. Harris was held in
gh esteem.
Among those attending from a
distance were Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
illegal and son of Rossville, Ga,
and 1. N. illegal of Chattanoo-
ga, and j. H. Hamilt of Chatta-
noaga.
Some five or six years ago Mr..
Harris left with the News a seal
ed envelope with instructions not
to open until after his death. 1t
was opened Sunday morning in
the presence of one of his sons,
W. ]. Harris of this city, and
contained items for publication
concerning his death, which it
seems then he had in considera.
ton, and the circumstances are
so pathetic that we publish the
communication in his own words.
1T. K. Harris was born May
6, 1912. He was married to
Catharine Tennessee Hamill Sept.
2, 1862. He aided a great ma
ny Union men during the years
of 1862 3 to leave Hamilton coun-
ty. Tenn, and Walker county,
Ga, to get thru the Confederate
lines to the Federal army, and
himself went thru in 1863 and
joined the u. S. Navy and served
nearly two years, or until the
close of the war between the
States. He was honorably dis
charged Aug. IL, 1866"
Mr.. Harris leaves two daugh-
ters. Miss Lou Harris and Miss
Jennie Harris, and five sons,
Dennis F., w. j., Robert and
James of this county and Herbert
Harris, of Blockton, Ala. Inter-
ment was made beside his wife
in Rosewood cemetery.
He was a member of Post So, |
6. A. R., of Sequatchie, and it
was intended to have the ritual
Of the organization performed at
the grave, but the absence of the
Post Commander. J. G. Lankes-
ter, a'life-ion9 friend of Mr.. Har-
ris, prevented this service.
Mr.. Harris Was one of the
pioneer citizens of this county,
settling here from Hamilton
county when this county was
sparcely inhabited. He purchas-
I'd the farm on which he lived and
lied near Springdale then, and
Vt that time it was on the main
road of the valley, but the line of |
travel changed as new towns
sprang Up.
