SEWS OF I NI0\ ACADEMY Prosperity, Augu. 8.?A fine shower fell hero last night which was needed very much. The farmers have about finished plowing and the crops are growing fine.

This -will bring j the strength of the 'United States Army J on that date up to practically 1,000,j 000 men. j Brigadier General Crowcter, provost' ' marshal general, dispatched the fod, j lowing telegram to the governors or I the States today cauntioning them to | make certain that the first one-third of their quota of the first increment of registered men is ready in time: "New regulations governing mobili! zatfcm and the certification of men I . from district boards to aGjaianis gen. eral will be mailed to you on August | 9. 1h the meantime, local boards; ? should certify to district boards dally : those "who have been called or disj' charged eihter because tfa^y failed to ' file any claim or beeause their claim , has been decided adversely. wifV? this rule IS ) $tnci cum^aiOkuvC' TI AVM ^ ! necessary since on September 1 the j i ?^ar department will call for not to j r exceed one-third of the quota from j f each State to be entrained for mob-! r ilization camps between September 1 I and September 5.

The same course is to be followe.l where any draftee man's employers agree to continue his salary as a patriotic duty. A third supplemental ruling pro+v.ot -..VioT-n -a man ;ms sUDDOrted V .lies LiJOL n Ubi V ? _ his dependents by his own labor on land which he owns and the board* find that the land could be rented to advantage so as to continue tne support for the w'ife derived from the rentl, exemption from the man may be denied. The telegram to the govrnors io! lows: "Under the presidential reparations the term 'dependent for, support' has given rise to several further questions of principle affecting large numbers or persons. Jfust Consider Spirit of Act "The general basis foi ruling upon such question should be the spirit and purpose of the act in providing for such discharge wherever the terras of the and of the res:u!at!ons are not in themselves conclusive. The act an thorizes the- president to discharge wherever the parties drafted are 'in a status with respect to persons dependent upon them for support which ron-^ers their exclusion or discharge advisable. "Such dependency ordinarily renders discharge advisable because., since the drafted person loses- his civil income and thus loses hig means of support, the wife is left without surroort.' and this lack of support is ihe effect which the act aims to avoid. But wherever such effect does not In fact follow, and the wife is not left without reasonable adequate support but will receive such support from other sources, there is no real dependency durine discharge advisable. "The following classes of cases are within this ruling :> MA. Wife and children: "1. Where parents or otfrer relatives of the wife or the hijsband are able, ready and willing to provide adequate support for her (and children if any) during the absence of the husband. "2. Where the wife owns land V * * Xt- , which has produced income oj i.ac husband's labor, but which could with t reasonable certainty be rented during his absence to other persons so ?c produce an adequate support.* "3. Where there exists some a: rangement by which the salary 01 wage of the husband is continued !e whole or in part, by third person? being employers or insurers of others. and such portion of the salary 01 wage, either alone or with an allot ment of his soldier's pay or wtt? other definite in-come, will furnish z reasonable adequate support. "B. Other dependents: "1. Where in one of the foregoing ways a reasonably adequate suppon is provided for a widowed mother, in firm parents or orphan child under If years, of a son, brother or fathei ^lled into service. Can Change Decisions "Under residential regulations providing that any certificate or discharge may be withdrawn, modified o: renewed by the local board, the boarc is authorized to reopen any claim oi exemption already passed upon and still awaiting disposition on appeal tc the district board, for the purpose 01 receiving any affidavits or making other inquiries relative to dependency are. defined in the present nil Big Value Low Price IT e 300 I lO STYLES U R ORDER V more J Than i $20 S ALL WOOL 'LES GOODS CO. i Carolina 1 I 'iugs; and the iocal board shall transmit to the district board such affidavits as in its minutes thereon, for consideration on appeal.

They cover mam* pages and provide for every contingency that can be fore j seen in the assembling of the men for i tbe new army.
