MEN 0F~19-20,32-36 TO GET FIRST GALL Questionnaires to These Quick ly After Thursday as Names Classified ASKS EMPLOYERS TO ASSIST IN EXEMPTIONS Only 150,000 Youths Will Be Receiving- Free Eucational Training*. j "Washington.?Men from nineteen tr? twenty and thirty-two to thirty-six will bo classified first under the new draft. No time is to be lost in getting them tabulated, so that the induction into active service of those found fit to fight may keep pace with the demands of the War Department for more men. They registered on Thursday and on Monday the questionnaires were sent out to all of the first contingent. From these classes approximately a million and a half soldiers will b realized. Word went to the Governors of all the States to-nieht instructing them I to start the wheels moving. There is no intimation as to when i the oighteen-year-oldors will be call- ; ed, but there is an understanding , that none of these will bo sent to France before they have reached the age of nineteen unless some un- j foreseen emergency arises. The question of sparing men from asking exemption either on industrial grounds or because they have dependents is met partially by the pro vision allowing others to make th? ' request for the exemption of any registrant. There always has been a provision in the law that makes it possible for local hoards to exempt men of obvious ineligibility, even fi the claim of exemption is not made, but it is patent that, with 18,000,000 men to survey, the Government has not lime to analyze the case of each man. To Finish Work by End of Year. Gen. Crowder expects the work of classifying the first contingent to be completed within forty-five days. Just as soon as it is finished the work of classifying the oLder men will begin. All classification under the Man Power Act should be finished before the end of the year. Boys of eighteen years who do not hsiro to take advantage of thn nriv i 1 c?ceo of atterwHng college under inili- j tary auspices will not be required to; do so. The Provost Marshal General j was advised to-day that the law provides that not more than 150,00 boys' may be maintained in this way at s Government expense. v As heretofore Announced, there win j be constant changes among the boys in college. After a few weeks, Gen. j Crowder said, some may be trans- j forred to Officers' training camps, j vocational schools and non-commissioned officers' training camps. As one set of hoys leaves an institution v i; h which the War Department has' entered into a contract, his place will I be taken by another. o Return Page, of Galivants Kerry, j was in Conway one day last week on j business. o HORRY MOVES UP. From 5th to 2nd Place in One Week, j in a month and a halt Horry County lias come from 25th place in the sale of War Saving's Stamps to 3rd place in the total per capita sales for the State. Beaufort is first, Char-1 leston second and Horry third with a total sale of $186,116.25 up to Sep- | tembcr 7th, to her credit. j ? Horry County has lead in the week fy sales up to the week ending Au/VM.d #>1cf lkllt I^AOllfAld riAlltlf \f (ji aIa ' ic,ur?i mnt.) uuu liuaui \/i v v^v/uui/^ ovwiu , a march on us and stands first for the week ending September 7th with Horry a close second, the sales being Beaufort $22,106.26, Horry $20,544.25. There is however no grounds to let this dampen your enthusiasm for while we lost first place for the week at the same time we jumped York and Florence Counties for second place in total sales for the year. The thing to note is the constant and consistent progress, having started on the climb in total sales we have never fallen back a single time and from information now at hand the people of Horry will see Lo il that she leads in weekly sales in the next report. o Nearly Ml of the lumber mills of "the country are at Work on gov< m rnent contract# according to repo.'ts WAR SAVINGS j | STAMP NEWS ???- j How did that headline "Horry Leads Again" in the sale of War Savings Stamps, read to you? Did you help do it? i ?w.s.s.? A War Saving Stamp costs you only $4.20 this month. You'll not be bothered with pennies. And its v. $3.00 Government Bond too. Get busy and buy one of them. ?w.s.s.? The last Report from headquarters showed that the people of Horry county had tins year already invested $106,747.50 in War Saving Stamps. Fine isn't it? But do you know we proposed investing $000,000 in them. Long way from home, .aren't we? ?w.s.s.? When you signed your pledge to buy stamps, you doubtless did so very cautiously because you didn't know what tobacco was going to do. \*.... ii'lint if ili/l fillil I'lllt i \J 1.4 livy DL V_ U nut IV VII\I I mv V have you increased your pledge? Sonic haven't even bought any of tliose they pledged. ?W.S.S.? We know of one patriotic fanner ' who actually offered some of his land for sale in older to redeem Iris War Saving Stamp pledge. That's I patriotism, because saciifice is attached to it. Have you made any sacrifice to help your Government? ?w.s.s.? Some one has stated that the money so far invested in War Saving Stamps in this county represented investments by those who saw good business in so doing, coupled with a desire to help. To carry Horry "Over The Top" in this thing, somebody will have to make some sacrifice. Are you ready to do it? ?w.s.s.? The Government says that a person can own only $1,000 of these stamps. But that doesn't mean you have nearly done your duty when you buy the limit, if you have other members in your family who want the stamps and you are able to buy them. One man we know of subscribed $1,000 for himself and every member of his family. He'll havI >0,000 in these stamps. ?w.s.s.? Have you yet reported the purchase of your stamps and gotten your button? If not, do so. If you have, wear your button; show it to your friend and get him interested. ?w.s.s. One of the most helpful things you can do to help your Government is, after you have bought all the stamp-; a - A 1 a- 1. - i. you can, to go oui ana try to get somebody else to follow your exam pie. Lots of good fellows are doing this and giving their time from thenown work too. Its a good thing to talk about when you meet a fellow, anyway. ?w.s.s.? Did any of your rusty dollars which you have accumulated out ot war profits while the other fellow gave up his Lmir.es.> to fight for you and your business, help the boys capture those 8,000 German prison' iv the other day? When you are br.igf. ng about how line the "boys over there" are doing, think about what you have done to help them. ?w.s.s.? Surely thoro arc more than 17 persons in Horry county who are able and willing to lend $840 to their Government for a little while and get a $1,000 worth of War Savings Stamps in return. So far only that number have reported and gotten their buttons. They are called "Limit Men" because they have purchased all the Government will permit ONE man to buy for HIMSELF. The following joined the "Limit Club" and got their buttons last week: W. C. Hooks, A. L. Hardee, W. B. Chesntut, G. M. Jollie, D. M. Burroughs, J. J.Williams, W. W. Russ, J. A. MeDermott, Mrs. E. L. Edwards, Geo. J. Holliday. If you can't purchase a thousand dollars worth of these stamps, you can doubtless get in the "$500 Class." The following joined this club last week: Wm. Page, Mrs. Mary Etta Page, C. A. Cartrette, W. C. Adams, A. W. Barrett, T. G. Owens, Return Page, Mrs. Arrie Page. One of these $500 purchasers for mcrly lived in Horry, diu nas lor some time been working for the Government in Virginia. He came home this week and while here purchased $500 worth of the Stamps to help out his old home. That's fine, isn't it. ?w.s.s.? It is important after you purchase your stamps to report this fact to the Council of Defense and get your button. The following joined the $100 club last week: Geo. W. Thompkins, Samuel Strickland, W. J. Hendricks, Stanley AHm, J. J. Cox, G. B. Por ?" I ? NOTICE OF SALE. Under and by virtue of a Deere?1 of Partition and Sale made by hisj! Honor S. VV .G.
