STATUS OF MARRIED
MEN is CLEARED UP.

= s r.st
Status Of married men under the
selective service law QUESTIONABLE
system is fixed by a telegram re-
eeived at the office Of Major joel B.
Mallet, selective service officer; Mon
day noon. 1t clears up a number Of
cases which have been puzzle &c
local boards which, are seeking to
classify married registrants. Here
it is:
Subdivision A, Glass A., is the
residuary class of registrants whose
wives or children are mainly depend
ent on them for support and this APP
plies to widower whose own chill
dren are mainly dependent on him
for support. If a registrant has both
wife and child, but there are such
other sources of support available
that the removal of the registrant
will not deprive the dependents of
reasonably adequate support, he is
to be placed in subdivision A of class
2.
'If registrant has wife but no
children and there are such other
sources of support available that the
removal of the registrant will not de-
prive the wife of reasonably adequate
support, he goes in class ] as not be-
ing included in any other division
in the schedule.
"Many boards seem to be in doubt
as to what to do when it appears that
the soldiers pay and war risk allow
ance will provide and adequate sup
port. Reasonably adequate support
can not be determined by a rule of
thumb, but must be determined with
common sense and sympathy in the
facts of each individual case. What
would be adequate support in one
locality or in one set of circumstances
might not be adequate support in
another. The question of adequate
support must be determined by the
boards after careful consideration
of the interests of the dependents on
the one hand and of the government
on the other, and with the thought
always IN mind that the present clas-
sification scheme is designed to raise
our armies with minimum of hard
ship and suffering to. those who are
to be left at home Atlanta Jour

SAVE ENOUGH COTTON SEED
TO PLANT COMING CROP.

Take no chanches on your supply
of cotton seed for planting the com
ing spring, is the urgent advice of the
State Department of Agriculture to
the farmers of Georgia.
Present prices Of seed are attrac-
tive, but at that they are far below
what seed will sell at for planting
purposes in the spring. The farmer
who sells all his seed now and has
to pay twice or three times as much
for what he needs to plant, will play
q losing game.
Every Georgia farmer should save
an ample supply of his best seed for
planting hte coming season. 1t is
the only safe, the only economical
way.

Nj ADJOURNED TERM
Of COBB COURT
IN JANUARY
BUSINESS on Docket Will Not
Warrant the Expense
to The County.

There will be no adjourned term
of Cobb Superior Court in January
4b;s wear. as has been customary in
other years.
In an interview Judge Morris SAID
on this subject:
"There will be no court untli the
.ocular March Term. When ! went
an the Bench January 1st, 1917
+bare were 141 civil cases, and a large
number of criminal cases in this
county. that were ripe for trial, un-
dor the administration which | sue
ceeded. have managed during the
wear. not only to dispose of practi-
caIlv all of this unfinished business
hut also the new business, and the
dockets, both criminal and civil, are
well up. There are only two parties
in iail and one of them will enter a
plea. the first motion court.
In addition to this fact almost all
the lawyers are working day and
night, helping the registrants to fill
out the QUESTIONABLE blanks. and will
continue this work for some time
yet.
On account of these facts it would
be an unnecessary expense to the
taxpayers to hold an adjourned term
of court at this time, and none will
be held"

One Sam Awtrey, who is white
man living near Powder Springs was
arrested last week for horse stealing.
He had some trouble with his wife
several years ago, and she has not
lived with him since. 1t seems to be
the general belief that the man is
crazy, but he has been taken to iail
in Fulton county where the charge
against him was preferred by a pe-

CHAPTER xVlI-Continued.

T'm afraid that Is no way to tell. '
 the revenue officer said pleasantly.
 .The worst smugglers we have are so-
 aety people. We captured two of his
 accomplices on Huntingdon's island
 this morning. and when we get him
 we shall have wiped out one of the
 worst gangs of smugglers operating
 across the border"
 At the mention of Huntingdon's is-
 land we all pricked up our ears. What
 connection did the smugglers have
 with the disappearance of Mrs. Green
 and Lipton s. ClairY
 "While you were on Huntingdon's
 island l asked, did you see any thing of Mrs Green?"
 why began the officer, with pug
 zled frown. "one of our prisoners claims to be Mrs. Green. hut that is only an alias for Mother Farrell whose portrait is in the rogues' gal lery recognized her at onee."
 "Who is your other prisonerY' I had an inkling of what had really hap pened at Huntingdon's island since I had left 1t.
 '1The other one is a man masquerad- ing in woman's clothes He refuses l to give his name, but I think he is Dan Maloney, rather high class crook who does smuggling only as a side line for grand larceny"
 I'm afraid you have the wrong par ties" l smiled as I thought of Lip- ton s. Glair's outraged dignity. The lady really is Mrs. Green, and the gentleman is net Dan Maloney, but hr L. z. Clair. q well known literary man.
 The revenue officers face fell. then ] suspicious look came into his eyes. l How do l know that you are not one Of the gang yourself and this is mere E ly trick to get us to release your pals2 What was Mrs. Green doing ' over there anyway? {
