More Men To Go T
Resume of W
The work of the local board of se- j
lection for Chesterfield County has (
reached a temporary standstill except
in the clerical work of handling
the lists of names, which seems to be
endless.
There have been 628 men examined,
176 of whom were accepted and
sent up to the district board; 452
3*1 .'* were* released either for physical reasons
or because of dependents. The
district board has released seven men
sent up, in .1 instances only over-ruling
the local board.
Of these men two were white and
one a negro. They were Sam Sherjell,
Edward G. Sutton (white) and
r?,,.i T>:. /_ \
a/uu ivucib
Chesterfield's allotment is 1 fit
men. Five per cent, of these, 8 men,
have already gone to Columbia and
passed the medical examination. The
next contingent to go will be 40 per
cent, of this allotment, which will be
66 men, all white. The names of
( L these men are riven below. They
Wf are followed in this issue by the
names of all the men who have boot*
examined, 'showing what disposition
has been made of them.
Those whose names appear under
the head "Granted Permanent Discharge
by Local Hoard Account Dependents"
should call immediately
on Mr. W. .1. Hunna, clerk of the '
board, and receive badge and certificate
of discharge.
It seems to be the intention of the
War Department to call all the negroes
on October fid. The final contingent
of this allotment will be call- ;
er* on Oct. 1 fith.
It still seems probable that about
100 more men must be examined before
the full quota is made good. The
exact number needed cannot be
known until the Army physicians

in contingents of about 120 per cent.

WHISKEY STILL SEIZED
NEAR COURT HOUSE
Saturday afternoon Chesterfield's
efficient Chief of Police Melton, havhad
one Austin Ililiard under surveillance
for a long tint?, and learning
that Austin had sold a pint of
whiskey that day, made a search of
Austin's buggy and lound a pint of
the worst home mr.de rot gut possible
to distill. Austin ar.d his son,
tins, and Sam .Edwards, all colored,
were turned over by#Mr. Melton to
Deputy Sheriff, J. T. Grant and lodg
cd in jail.
Mr. Grant in order to locate the
still, turned the hoy, Ciifs, loose. Gus
nut ran Mr. Grant and got to the still
across Thompson's Creek and had
emptied the mush .011 hand when
"Jim T." arrived and re-arrested.
Gus then confessed.
The still was a crude affair. A
wash pot, with a cap sealed with mud.
'! lie pipes and worm were made of
wood. The 2 x 4 oullit was con'is:atcd
and is now at the jail along with
the "moonshiners."
WATT GREGORY I
CAPTURES 3RD STILL
Word was received in Chesterfield i
yesterday that Mr. T. W. Gregory
the Constable for Old Store Town- i
ship, had captured his 3rd still. This
one was located near Dudley. A man
named Furr was arrested. He is a
r.on of one of the men arrested l.y
Mr. Gregory when he captured the
still near l'luins some weeks ago.
MR. BRYAN AND THE WAR
Times and Democrat.
There u*v many papers which ifvn
always opposed Mr. Bryan and unjustly
abused him. His resignation
as secretary of state was roundly denounced,
although welcomed. Few
of these papers have printed what
Mr. Bryan says about the war now.
No man was opposed to it, but with
ail good citizens, he yielded personal
opinion to support the government's
declaration of war. In one of
recent speeches Mr. Itryan said:
"My idea is that any discussion
among ue as to the prosecution of the
war will have a tendency to prolong
it and make it more costly in money
?w.n a ?w. r ?
...X... . ... .11...? will- mum
pence, the more loyally he should
support the government as the only
means of* hastening peaee.
"There cay he but one end to the
war that is the overthrow of (icrninny.
1 find the desire to support
the government praetieally universal.
"We shall, of course, win the war
whether Russia is able to hold her
position or not. Any end except in
our favor is inconceivable. If Russia
is overwhelmed we shall merely
have a new situation to cope with.
Iiut I have great fuith in the ability
of Kercnsky.
"I am very glad congress conferred
on the president as broad powers
as it did. Thero is no fear of their
being abused. I would even have had
the law go further and empower the
president to protect the people from
the greed of any group that tried to
tak? advantage of them along any
Tells Awfiil Experience
Dr. G. C. Bristol spoke to a crowded
house last nitrht jn Chesterfield.
For more than an hour he held his
audience as in a vice while he spoke
of his experiences as a prisoner of
war in a German prison camp on a
fortified island. His scathing: denunciation
of the hrutal Germans
was matched by his tcreat admiration
for our President.
Dr. Bristol Will speak a train under
the auspices of the Red Cross at the
Ruby Methodist Church Wednesday
afternoon at 3:110; at Mt. Croatian
auditorium at 8 o'clock and at Chesterfield
Courthouse at 8 P.M. Thursday.
Entire proceeds j;o to the hem lit
of the Red Cross. The doctor
pays his own expenses.
Admission 10 and 2."> cents.
TRUSTEES OF THE SCHOOLS
OF THE COUNTY MEET.
The meeting of the trustees of all
the schools of the county, held in the
Counrthouse last Saturday, at the
call of Mr. J. A. Knight, Superintendent
of Education, was well attended,
more than forty trustees heinjr pros nt.
The meeting was called to order |
by Supt. Knight, who briefly out- |
lined the object of the meeting and
made a statement of the school finances,
which statement showed that
there was on hand in the treasury on
duly 1st to the credit of the several
districts, $7,810.01, and that there j
was an outstanding debt against some
of the districts to the amount of
' 88.XS, this being money loaned l.y
the County Hoard to the districts for
building purposes. There is to the
credit of the County Hoard 80,i
balance left of the twenty thousand
borrowed by the County Hoard.
An analysis of this report will show |
that the school finances show a de.

is provided for by a special levy,
which is supposed to retire that
amount in some five years.
Mr. Pollock, who has been a mem- j
her of the Hoard for a quarter of a !
century, made a splendid speech on i
the duties of the Trustees stressing
the importance of their work and
showing he value of their leadership,
and ended his discourse with a ringing
patriotic speech, dwelling on the
duties of our people in this hour of
our Country's need.
Prof. Eucoo fJunter, the State
Supevisor of Rural Schools, was the I
last speaker, who devoted his tiroto
th<- explanation of the State aid
and the advantage that conte from!
such funds and told how our schools
might profit hy participation tin-rein.
Prof. CJunfer expects to spend
a week in the schools of this County
later on and there will come, undoubtably,
much good from his work
among us in the improvement of
classroom work. i

AMERICAN AERIAL
SUPREMACY IN THE

~ i
Washington, Sept. 10.?American;
aerial supremacy is assured.
The All-American aviation motor
has just completed the full series of j
which it far surpassed even the ex- ;
pectation of its designers, and put
lo shame the carping critics who scoff- I
ed at the idea of the United States developing
such an engine in less than
a year. I
I'y a succession of engineering and
manufacturing miracles American en
Tiif experts, working night and day,
have perfected in three months an en- '
trine of enormous power, exceptional j
flexibility and remarkable reliability.
"The greatest engine in the world,"
experts who know the best product of
the French, English, Italian and German
airplane factories call it. Ami
this judgment has been completely established
by tests far more severe
than those of any other nation, conducted
by the United States bureau of
standards.
One hundred and forty miles an i
hour two and a third miles a minute
?is the speed with which this eightcylinder
engine will drive American
battle-planes through the air. 'I his
g oipinl almost to the best speed foreign
builders have attained with their
scout planes, in which everything is
sacrificed for speed. The American
battle-planes, heavily armed and
carrying two men, will be able to
overtake and destroy the fastest of
Lhe German scouts.
About two pounds to the horsepower.
horsepower from an engine

eret of the marvelous speed this
engine is aide to impart to an airplane.
Think of it!
Three men can easily lift it and yet
it will drive two men in an airpl"
weighing half a t?>n through the a r
at twice the speed of (tie "Twentieth
