Sumter county's most progressive
and enterprising citizens and man

munity He is native of Stockbridge,
Henry county, Georgia, and first went

tinued to handle with the greatest
satisfaction alike to the public and
the railroad commission of Georgia
alike. 1t was while he was agent for
the Central of Georgia here that many
of the substantial Improvements now
maintained here by that company were
completion, and most of the modern
facilities now provided for the con-
venience of the public there were in
stalled during his incumOency as
agent here. The handsome new pas
senger station at Americas was built
while he was the company's agent, and
additional trackage of vast impor-
lance and convenience to the whole
sale interests Of Americas were also
installed under his supervision.

NEW PRIOR|T|ES LIST
ISSUED BY GOVERNMENT
AS GUIDE TO INSSUANCE OF
CERTIFICATES FOR FUEL
AND LABOR
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-A new
priorities list of industries and plants
essential to the war or civil popula-
tion was announced today by Chair
man Baruch of the war industries
board. 1t was described as the
master key governing the issuance
of priority certificates by the prior
ties commissioner of the board
for fuel supply or electrical energy,
transportation, material, facilities,
capital and labor and as the basis
for industrial exemption from the
draft
Grouped into Four Classes.
'The inclusion of the industries and
plants on this preference list" said
the announcement, "does not operate
as an embargo against all others, but
the effect is to defer the require
ments of all other industries ard
plants until the requirements of those
on the preference list shall have been
satisfied"
Industries have been grouped into
four classes according to their rela-
tive Importance. No distinction is
made between industries or plants
within any one class and it was ex-
planned that no significance is to be
attached to the order in which they
are listed within any class. The in
dustries or plants under class one are
of exceptional Importance.
Fuel for domestic consumption
apartment houses, restau-
rants and hotels-is in class one.
Foods, railways operated by the
administration; the army and
navy, aircraft, ships and shipyards,
waas chemical plants; coal mines and
byn4btisct coke plantNseer puhliGs
ordnance and small arms
plants, and ammunition and explo
sives are also in class one.
