Union county has the distinction of not having to furnish a single man to the first draft. Her gross quota is 274, but enlistments in the regular army and the National Guard, totaling 307, ? gave her an overplus of 33 over her requirements. This overplus was ap f'V -" jrortioped to the exemption districts throughout the State on the basis of population. f!Kai4nor4-/\M 4-U? Liyy - - 7v~ t vnwMVOVvn wuuwjy CAtlUOlVC Ul.

Attention Foi On Gei (Thursday's State). With intense interest diverted for the moment from the fighting fronts, where there has been a noticeable | slackening in hostilities, attention is' focused on the convening Thursday +i? ? ? * 1 uibvinuuu ui inu ucriuan reicnstap. At the openin gsession will be heard! the first utterance of the new imperial ( chancellor, Dr. Michaelis, concerning his stand on the war?utterances that naturally will be momentous, inasmuch as they will indicate whether, with the recent changes in the German government, Germany is to continue her warfare without abatemnt or whether the desires for peace that have been heard so often in Germany, and especially in the reichstag, arc anything but empty expressions. The probable attitude of the chancellor already has run the gamut of diverse speculation, but as yet nothing has been evolved from the many unofficial discussions of the man and his ideas and intentions. Some writers expr^s the belief that] the new chancellor's leanings will be toward the peace views of the ma- j junty uioc in me reicnstag; others have advanced the opinion that his policy will be tha tof the militaristic party and there are others who consider his assumption of ofiice merely a pajrt of a stopgap program preliminary to the formation of something in the nature of a dictatorship. After having tried ineffectually to CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY. Jonesville, July 17.?Miss Marian Whitlock invited 50 of her little friends t help celebrate her 10th! birthday anniversary last oaturday i afternoon from 5 to 7.

"j n Quota THIRD ANNUAL ' MEETING HELD Union County Home Demonstrate Short Course July 16-18?Good Attendance and Interesting Program. The Union Countv Home Demon stration Short Course cosed its third annual and most successful session at noon Wednesday, having convend during the 16th, 17th, 18th. Miss Alsie O. Smith is greatly to be congratulated on the efficient way in which she handles her work. This was demonstrated by her program and in the selection of her assistants to execute the short course work. Great system was shown in the way! the program was carried out to the letter and on time. Miss Smith was assisted for the three days wor kby Miss Dorothy Napier of Columbia, Miss Trimmier of Spartanburg and Mrs. Willemon of Greenville. The second day a feature much enjoyed was the bread demonstration by Miss Gladys Smith; in the afternoon Mrs. Willemon gave an interesting demonstration on the drying of fruit and vegetables followe dby a talk on dietetics and vegetable cook, ery. Wednesday was devoted to jellv, preserving and canning in tin. The major part of the morning was given over to Mrs. Walker, who, in her able manner, gave innumerable recipes that were of inestimable value to the girls and housewives. She demonstrated the making of apple preserves and marmalade and canned beans ^nd tomatoes in tin. She used the lime process for apple preserves, her own particular recipe which has brought her a nation-wide reputation. The attendance was all that could be desired?both rooms being filled to overflowing?^tUuting -tn ,th> "tSflty or the local agent. -Tf! Mr. A. B. Carwile, local farm demonstration agent, joined forces for this meeting and it was an inspiring sight to watch the young faces as they absorbed the knowledge given them by C. C. Cleveland and W. T. Elliott. .. W. cused rman Politics overcome the French gains in the Verdun sector between the eastern edge of the Avocourt wood and Hill 304, the Germans have ceased their costly enterprise and now are contenting themselves with throwing shells intot the positions which Gen. Petain's men forced them to evacuate.- Likewise along the Chemin-des-Dames the violent infantry activity of the early week has ceased. The British and the Germans continue their violent artillery duels in nortcrn Belgium and Field Marshal Hair's forces are keeping up their harassing patrol raids. One of the most sunccessful of these enterprises was carried out east of Monchy le Preux, in the Arras sector, the British gaining ground and taking prisoners. On the Russian front Gen. Korniloff's army in East Galacia is stubbornly holding back the reinforced Austro-German armies, which at various points are endeavoring to wrest from them the positions recently won in the Haiicz ana Kaiusz sectors. In the latter region near the village of Novica the enemy won a vantage point from the Russians but immediately afterward lost it again. The Germans are violently bombarding the Russians south of Brzezany and neiv Haiicz. Late reports from Petrograd are to the effect tha tthe disorders have been quelled. In Tuesday's fighting in the streets of Petrograd six persons were killed and 2.18 wounded. SERVICES AT MT. TABOR. The Rev. C. D. Fulton, missionary under appointment to Japan, will preach at the Mt. Tabdr Presbyterian church at .1:30 o'clock next Sunday afternoon. At 11 o'clock the same day Mr. Fulton will preach for the Jonesville congregation and at Ix>ckhart at flight. I)R. BRUORTON RETURNS.

Gen. Crowder, the provost { general, indicated that the'' nftf i(al lottery to determine the order ! ofliability of 10,000,000 men regis- , tered for military service could be held next Friday. Preparations to 11 make the drafting on that day went , Ahead rapidly, although a linal de- j' cision as to the date can not be made until the last governor has actually j reported that the local exemption J boards in his State have finished their j task. Details of the mechanism to be employed in the drawing have not been 1 revealed. Present plans are for the \ 'lottery to take place in the capitol; building with the members of the sen- ! ate and house military committees as1 [witnesses. The entire proceeding isj not expected to take much qiore than one hour. Gen. Crowder was in conference today with the newspaper correspond;ents over arrangements for the drawing. The press is relied upon to carry1 to individuals throughout wie country the information as to when they will i be required to appear before exemp-! ; lion boards and ovex*y effort is being made to suit the conveniences of the papers as to details. The task of transmitting the long | lists of numbers by telegraph is a1 problem of considerable proportions but the press associations and telegraph companies are making efforts to insure both speed and absolute accuracy in transmission. There is more concern over the task of the individual newspapers after they receive by wire the results of the drawing. In large communities the problem of printing AM flfltjfel numbers with the names of IjX they lo< each district attached is one of staggering: proportions. OF INTEREST HERE.

The handkerchiefs and doilies are always needed in hospitals; in fact, are almost indispensable. You can get the patterns for bed shirts, gowns, etc., front ^ [ the Red Cross Distributing Center, 15 i! Peachtree St., Atlanta, and would advise you to write them. With best fishes.
