this little one, the bereaved parents
have the deepest sympathy Of a host
OF friends who feel for them even
more deeply than under ordinary cir
cumstances, as it was only about two
years ago this couple lost their first
son, who had attained the same age
as this little one Both of the children
were stricken with colitis, and lived
only about the same time after being
taken i'll.
Little Nisbet was 1-2 years of age,
and was sweet, beautiful child, and
IN his passing he leaves behind much
sorrow and sadness, his mother par.
ticularly being almost Frustrated ov-
er his demise, her condition being al
most alarming.
The funeral services were conduct
cd from the family residence this
afternoon at o'clock, DR.. C. I. Stacy

charge of the service. The pall-bear-
ers were Messers. T. B. O'Steen. w

SPEED UP TRANSPORTATION.
U. S. Draft Men to Be Rushed to
France as Fast as Ships Can Be Had.


France as Fast as Ships Can Be Had.
Washington.-New orders have gone
forth to speed up the sending of
troops to France. In consequence, the
national army, made up of men of the
selective draft, are to be dispatched
to Europe as fast as ships are avail
able to transport them.
Paving the way, the war department
announced March - the beginning of
widespread shake-up in the com
handing generals of the selective
troops.
The orders TO speed up are reported
to have resulted from fresh appeals
on the part of the allies for more
American forces to help withstand the
shock of the expected German often
sives. France, particularly, is said to
have renewed her urgings in this re-
spect For this. no definite official con-
firmatiOn could be obtained.

100000 MEN TO GO
IN SECOND DRAFT
COLORS GRADUALLY DURING
PRESENT YEAR.
Order Issued for Mobilization Of 95, 900
Men Beginning March 29.-No
Sweeping Withdrawal of Men
is Contemplated

WashingtOn.-Ei hundred thou
sand men are to be called to the col
0rs gradually during the present year
under the second army draft, which
! begins on March 20.
An announcement on March II by
Provost. Marshal General CrOwder OF
the number to be called was followed
closely by an order for the mobiliza-
ton of $4,000 men during the five-day
period beginning March 20, some 49,
900 of them to be assembled under the
second draft. Eighty thousand will be
men of the first-draft of 6S7,00 not yet
summoned into service.
Details of how the second draft is
to be applied win be made public later,
after congress has acted upon proposed
legislation providing for the registra-
ton of youths attaining the age of 81
years and for basing state and district
quotas on the number of registrants in
class /. In his first official statement
on the subject, however, General Crow
der assures the country that no sweep
ing withdrawal of large numbers of
men ut one time is contemplated, and
that care will be taken to avoid inter
ference with harvesting.
The movement will include the mo-
bilization of $4,000 southern negroes in
northern camps.
Because of the peculiar camp situa-
ton, some districts that have com
pleted their quotas will be asked to
furnish more men and will be given
credit under the second draft.
Fill Vacancies.
Several thousand of those ordered
modified will be used to fill up the
ranks made vacant by deaths and
other Withdrawals. Others will be for
industrial calls, of which fifty-six al
ready have been made, Deputy Pro-
vost Marshal General Johnson stated.
The first contingent of Industrial
workers drafted recently went to
France Johnson said.
The order will take men from all
states except Iowa and Minnesota.
