On Jlune 5 he registers in the voting precinct in which he resides. He goes on about his business. 2. After a delay of several weeks, perhaps a month or more, he is noti fied by the War Department either that he has been exempted from aer vice or that he has been selected. If the latter, he is told when and where to report. 3, He reportsq at the time and place designated, is given his equipmentl and transported to at concentratiorn camp. In case he believes he should have been exempted and was not, he is - entiled to carry his cgse to the local federal court for settlement.'

M., June 5 IONDS SOLD; IN 'ABOUT JUNE 15 The Pikens county $250,000 road mnd issue has been sold to the Palmetto ank of Columbia for par and a I remium r $4,100, the bonds to bear five per mt interest. The highway commission 'ill '_et the money in installments of A0,000 every three months, except the rst installment, which will be $54,100 id which will he paid in two or three eeks, or as soon as the bonds are rinted and delivered.

Patton has been elected county igineer in charge if the road work. e lis been engineer forI Greenville )unty and supervised the building of )00,000 worth of roads in that county uringjthe past two years. The com iission expetcts, to begin active work in uilding the roads about .1une 15. Top soil roads will be built if' it is ossible to get enough top soil at a asonable expense. This is the class f road which has given such good sat 'faction in (reeivile county. It hits ot been definitely decided just where he first work will be done, but proba, ly on the Pickens-Ensley road, The $250,000 will not make a good. erinanent road out of every road now a the county, and the commission States hat roads will be built in those comn nunities where the people show a spir >f co-operation by giving free right-of vays and top soil. Where top soil is taken it will make the land practically aseless for planting for one year, but tLhe county will plow the land fifteen or eighteen inches deep, and it is said that in one year the land will be just as good and in many instances better than before top soil was removed. So it rests greatly with the people as to where most of the roads will be built. The commission has not yet decided whether the roads will be built by con tract or by hired labor. Hoth plans will je tried out and the cheapest and most 'flicient plan used. TheI'l( Pickens County Ilighwiy (O) Iission consists of C. L. Cureton, hairman; It. I.. renhardt and .1.
