Ol)? Chesterfield ^Advertiser 1 __________________________?_____________________________________ VOLUME 36?NO. 9 CHESTERFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY, May 17. 1917 $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE ,1 ?Conscription Soon Tfie conscription act has passed both the Senate and the House of Representatives of the national Congress and will become a law as soon as President Wilson shall affix his signature. The conscription act provides that the ten million male citizens of the United States between the ages of 21 and 31 shall go to their respective voting precincts upon a date to be named by the President in a proclamation which he will issue within the next few days, and on that date reg- 1 ^^ aster with the registration officer, giv- I full name and address, date of birth, occupation and the names of dependants, if any. This reoristration annlies to hoth white and colored alike, between the ? ages of 21 and 31. 1 Failure to register (properly) up- ^ , on the date to be named by the Presi- t deot will be met with severe penal- , ties provided by the federal law. The v penalty for evading or attempting to evade registration or service is fixed ^ at from three to twelve years in the r federal penitentiary without fine, and then service in the army. ^ ( Mr. E. Wnlker Duvall, of Cheraw, t has been appointed chairman of the \ registration board of this county, to j put the conscription law into effect, tj The other two members are the Clerk j of Court, Mr. I. P. Mangum; the j Probate Judge, Mr. M. J. Hough. s This committee will appoint a regis- t trar for each poling precinct in the y county and he. must be one of the n six who were election managers at their respective poling precincts in v the general election last fall. These t registrars will be notified of their appointment and they are compelled to j, serve. The county committee, E. j, W nlWpr Duvnl] tVin Prnlmfo ln<ln>n - | x and the Clerk of Court, will shortly c meet and appoint these registrars, t notifying them of their appointment; ' ( also furnishing them with the curds j, for registration. When a man regis- v ters the registrar will issue to him a s small card which is in the form of a n receipt, showing that he has duly reg . istered. Every man within the regis tration ages will have to l>e able to M produce his registration receipt upon the demand of an officer at any time after the date of registration ? that will be named by the President. " After the registration date the dif- , ferent registrars at the various pre- . cincta will send the registration cards ; to the county committee who wjll sort and classify them according to di- j rections from the War Department at Washington. The conscription law provides that the President, in his , judgment, may exempt from the first ^ draft or later drafts, if be deems necessary, any of those who have de- ,x pendents upon them or who are en- < 11 gaged in agriculture. It is believed c that the first.draft will be made from ;) the single men and, as far as pos- | sible, that they will be secured from , the towns in preference to the ^ country; that first the single men in the towns will be called and if needed,,the single men on the furms will - hext be called; then the married men in the towns and then the married men on the farms. All preliminary preparations have t. been made, so that when word is received from the President the wheels ( will immediately begin to turn. Those h within the age limits will probably have to register early in June and \ those drafted will likely be notified a month later, yet they will probably not be called to the colors before , September 1st. s It is estimated that South Carolina t JJfil' have to furnish about eight c *-woUsand troops for the first draft, ,| but these will be selected front one hundred and thirty-seven thousand men eligible. The troops fron; North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee will be placed together to t form an army division under the com i mand of a major-general. It is es- t timated that about 150 whites ami j l(>u negroes wiH be called in the first draft from Chesterfield County to | furnish one hundred white and one , hundred negro soldiers who will pass i the physical examination. ,i Greatest Demand a " * .. <*.

B1 WOULD USE COTTON TO BALK SUBMARINES Washington, May 12.?The sug 'cstion that the submarine menace nay be met by packing bales of coton against the sides of ships sent to arry men and supplies to Europe was nade to Secretary Daniels to-day by Representative J. Thosmas Ileflin of Mabama. Mr. Ileflin said he had uldresscd a letter to the Secretary >f the Navy asking consideration of he proposal. A statement issued by dr. Hcflin, reads: "Cortez stuffed cotton in the jack>ts of his? soldiers to protect their , odies from the arrows of the Indians, ( lackson won the battle at New Or eans by using cotton bales, and we, ( y using cotton bales in the body of ^ ur merchant ships can defy the sub- ( marines, feed the Allies, and win this var against Germany. We can build 1 i merchant ship that will go safely 5. hrough the war zone in spite of sub- c narines. "This can be done by building at . he water line a strong, thick, water- 4 ight floor. Below this line, in the ?ody of the ship, line the sides and ?ottom with bales of cotton. Kit nem in side by side and end to end, as , ou would lay brick for paving purloses. Then have a network of trong steel chains over and around hese layers of cotton bales. Then 1 tack bales in from side to side and 0 iiake stationary. v "Above the water line and on the . ater-tight floor carry foodstuff. If ?" he torpedo strikes the ship and tears * hole in the side and lets the water n, the ship will not sink, for cotton p i like cork; it will float forever, f Vith the belly of the ship filled with h otton and the water-ticrhi inr?r._ y feet above, it would be impossible ti o sink the ship until it is torn to licces, the cotton released, and the jy rater-tight floor destroyed. Thin hip could and would reach its desti- c lation, although it might have sevral holes in its sides and bottom. As >ng as the propeller works, this ship ^ rill keep moving, and even if the proeller stops the ship will not sink. ^ "1 would equip this ship with enine and propeller and also with sails, 0 that if water should reach the enine room and stop the engine, the lils could be used. Gunners of these liips could destroy the submarine, or after firing upon and striking a a flip the submarine comes up to see 1 hat damage has been done and to ' >b the ship; aid in nearly every in- ^ lance our gunners would sink the ubmarine. w "During the war between the States 0 Federal gunboat torpedoed a Conederate merchant ship loaded with (j otton. The ship did not sink until tl ombs were placed on the inside and e, lie ship blown to pieces so that the p otton could float out upon the sea. 3 1 ship loaded with cotton will not ,r ink." ?

We are sorry to report the serious illness of Mr. and Mrs. SpofTard Oliver's baby. It is suffering from pneumonia. We hope for it a speedy recovery. Misses Eliza and Olivia Oliver, of near Ruby, visited on this route Friday evening. Mr. J. W. Odom spent a few days at Mr. J. II. Brown's near Angelus last week. Messrs. W. D. Odom and D. C Campbell made a business trip tc Chesterfield Saturday. Messrs. J. H.

The occupants of both cars were badly jarred and Mr. Hursey received painful injuries. His little son was cut about the head by being thrown against the windshield. Sow early Amber Cane for an early feed crop. Odom Bros. Co. have the seed. A great deal of interest was aroused in Chesterfield by the report that a delegation from the Blease faction would go to Washington to protest against the alleged favoritism shown by our governor to the members of the Manning faction in the selection of officers and also in the inn nf the successful candidates in the officers' reserve corps. There semes to be some discrepancy in the license charges of the new State Highway Commission. A Ford is charged $2.80 for the onehalf year, and a Hudson Super-Six only $3.80, while a Dort, a larger car than a Ford, is charged $2.30. The moral would seem to be: Buy a Dort. The license fees are based, it seems on the measurement of the cylinders and not the factory claims for horsepower. Many of the Chesterfield car owners already have their tags, which are deep orange, with black lettering. Just received several barrels of fresh pack herring. This is the cheapest food we know of. ODOM BROS. CO. the wiring of the tent in which the revival services are being held was done by Mr. Bennett, who is in jail r. .vaiting trial on account of a mixup in regard to the wiring of the Big Spring Hotel. Some of the influential citizens of Chesterfield are interesting themselves in Mr. Bennett's case, believing that he is being persecuted. They will probably succeed in getting him out on bond. That good MELROSE Flour has , come at last. Get you some and be i reminded of old times. ODUM BKU5. UU. I Messrs. Lawrence J. Stilwell, Dan . .v Spencer, L. Caston Wannamaker j iid Thornton W.

Fort OKlelhorpe, t!a., whore they will pursue a period of intensive j training and study for the necessary three months preparatory to takinp examination for appointment as officers for the new drafted army of five hundred thousand men, which will be called to the colors about September 1st. Quite a number of other Chesterfield yountf men applied for admittance to Fort Oglethorpe camp, but for various reasons were not accepted. The only three married men who applied (and this is the only j branch of the army in which the tfovI ernment will accept married men) were Major W. J. Tiller, R. K. Hanna, esq., and C. L. Hunley, esq. .last Sunday in Mr. Dalrymple's car. Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Tiller visited on this route Thursday evening Messrs. J. H. Dalrymple and (J. N. Clanton and children made a business trip to Cheraw Thursday evening.

Mr. and Mrs. W. A McNair's l>ab> i has been very sick for the past few i days. REVIVAL GROWING IN INTEREST The tabernacle revival campaign, which is being conducted by the churches of the town, under the leadership of the noted evangelist. Charlie D. Tiliman, of Atlanta, is growing in interest with each meeting. Attracted by reports of good preaching and splendid music, people are crowding the large tent at every service, some coming from a distance. The service for children one day 1 last week was largely attended, and the little folks were delighted with j the special attention given them. Mr. Tillman has little patience with the idea that "children don't know what 1 they arc doing," and called upon the little folks to name some of the < things which arc right and some of , cne initios tnat are wrong. lie an?wers showed a dear understanding of this important question. Sunday afternoon Mr. Tillman I spoke to four or five hundred men. ] At the same hour, at the Baptist > church Mrs. It. L. Kirkwood, of Bennettsville, and Miss Mary East lead J a meeting for the ladies and girls. These services were intrusting and ii ! is blieved that lasting impression.' i were made. On Tuesday morning a service for ( the old folks was the best service of . the meeting up to that time. Committees had been appointed to see ihat all the old people who could do so were present. The school also attended in a body. The tent was well filled. Songs familiar to the old folks in their younger days were sung. ^ Mr. Tillman requested all those over seventy years of age to stand fac- ' ing the audience and then invited their children, grand-children, and friends to come up and give them their hands, promising to meet them in the better world. This wj?s ?? vi>rv touching incident and was responded to heartily. Among those over seventy thus taking part in the meeting were: Mr. Lisenby, Mr. and Mrs. Jake Burr, Mr. L. L. Spencer, Mr. md Mrs. H. D. Tiller, Mrs. I). M. ! Baron tine, Mr. W. B. Davis, Dr. T. I?. Lucas, Mrs. J. A. Craig, Mrs. W. H. Melton, Mr. T. P. Craig, Mrs. Sallie Rivers, Mrs. Purvis, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Maggie Perkins, Mrs. Ilursey, Mr. Waterman Robinson, Mr. William Spencer and Mr. Atkinson. Not only were the old sours heard, but men and women shouted in the jld fashioned way. There is no doubt but this service will be long remembered. On Friday afternoon at 3:30, Mr. Stapleton, who has done splendid work in leading the music, will talk to the children. Services are held daily at 10:30 v A.M. and at 8 P.M. A general mass neoting will be held Sunday afternoon at 3:30. i RUBY Misses Atha ami Willie Threatt, of 1 Mt. Croghan, visited relatives here ' recently.

The United Daughters of the Confederacy were sponsors for this delightful affair, which gave so much pleasure to quite a number of the old soldiers. The program began with a fine dinner spread on large tables in Koss Hall, after which the soldiers were guests of honor at the Memorial exercises at the cemetery that afternoon. The veterans seemed to enjoy th" day and went to their homes loud in the praises of the loyal Daughters of Confederacy. During the day inspiring music was furnished by the Chesterfield Brass Bund, under the direction of Prof. Sniylhc Henderson. The inuriiul airs produced were welcomed by the 'Boys in (iray," some of which scented to carry i > 1 I ,*h'crs b: c Lo the days ttone by.

After prayer by the Rev. J. L. yler the children placed the flowers upon the graves of the Confederat soldiers, and also upon the graves the two young federal soldiers who are buried in the Chesterfield cemeteiy. The exercises were under the di- j ruction of .Miss Pearl Lucas, president >f the local chapter of the United Daughters of tin- Confederacy, and ?he and her assistants deserve a great leal of credit for the manner in which Lhey carried out their well-at ranged irogrutn.
