remains but to select the men wh
* are to go to the front.
From virtually every State reassu
ing messages came tonight to Bri|
Gen.' Crowder, provost marshal gei
eral, federal supervising officer of th
great enterprise.
While no complete returns froi
any State were transmitted the go\
ernors were unanimous in reportin
that complete order had prevaile
throughout the day and that a fu
Eh|K registration is indicated.
The early reports showing a fu
K; 'turnout all over the country indical
ed that the estimates of the censu
bureau as to the number of men with
in the specified age limits would b
verified by the court. Wherever pai
k 4 tial figures were available the esti
mates checked closely.
A typical messagfe received wa
that from Idaho:
"Registration will be 100 per cent,
it said. "Spontaneous and withou
murmur or incident."
The situation was so clear and th
response so ready throughout thi
country that governors of 46 of th
48 States had sent similar assurance
long before registration had close<
and the other two were close on thei
heels.

lout Trouble In a Day
>n ? A feature of the registration was
>d 'the refusal of hundreds of thousands
of men to make any reply to the
w question: "Do you claim exemption?"
st Even men who reported that they had
,e dependent families, men with obvious
a physical disabilities and those whose
? occupations are certain to keep them
lt] at home declined to make such a
d claim. Apparently they have entered
ie fully into the very spirit of the law.
n They are content to leave the quesl0
tion of exemption to the exemption
[t boards. They have no claims to
lo make; but arc ready to do their
share, whatever it may be.
r_ With the closing of each registra
jr. 1 nun pr?vinci oiucjais went at once to
J the task of sorting and classifying
e the cards. There is much work to
I. e done in order that the brief synopy,
sis which each governor will make to
r_ Gen. Crowder of the registration of
yr his State may go forward promptly.
,1 Gen. Crowder is hopeful that anil
other .'1G hours will see the full record
of the country on his desk.
U Alaska and Hawaii will record their
t- fighting men on dates to be sent later
3 and the roll of Americans now abroad
who are beseiging consulates all ove
er the world for registration cards
will add to the great list,
i- Can Still EnlUt
Gen. Crowder made it clear that
s registration acted as bar against no
man who wishes to enlist in the army
" or navy.
t Any man who enrolled himself today,
but whose patriotic impulse bids
e him step into the ranks now and not
? await selection day, will pass from the
e registration lists automatically. A
s man may take his choice as to the
d part of the great national army in
r which he will serve, regulars, National
| uuard or the selective army.
WINNING OF WAR
JOB FOR AMERICA
j Birmingham, Ala., June 5.?Birmingham
passed in parade before
8 Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood, U. S. A.,
j and other distinguished visitors today
when more than .'10,000 men, women
1 and children marched up and down
~ the streets giving vent to their patriotic
fervor. 1
' In his speech at the flag raising
j (Jen. Wood predicted the United
States would win the war but said it
would be a long drawn out affair and
. it would be necessary to send perhaps
'2,000,000 men to the trenches
in France from the United States He
j expressed the opinion that the Southern
units would be among the first to
go.
"The hoisting of this flag represents
the blue and the gray for America,"
1 said Gen. Wood as he, assisted by a
Confederate veteran and a Union veteran,
raised the flag to position while
the band played "The Star Spangled
1 Banner."
"It shows that we are hoisting it
^ together and that we will stand bo'
hind it. One of the principal things
for us to do in America is to make
munitions of war, raise big crops and
s train our men well."

1 HIGH SCHO
The closing exercises of the Chesterfield
High School, beginning Friday
evening with a piano recital by
Miss Matty Caddy's music class, were
concluded Tuesday' night when the
diplomas were handed to the graduates
by Dr. Sykes, of Coker College,
who was present and had delivered
an excellent address to the class.
The piano recital on Friday even
UK kuiuomcu iweiaj-iwo numocrs
and included the little fellow-,
just beginning as well as the more
advanced pupils. The house was well
filled and the people were treated to
a most enjoyable entertainment. Expressions
of gratification were heard
on every hand at the remarkable
progress made by the younger pupils.
The music of the more advanced
pupils was greatly enjoyed by the
audience on its merits as good music.
It was demonstrated cmce more
that Chesterfield is fortunate in the
selection of Miss Gaddy as piano instructor.
On Sunday morning at the Methodist
church the commencement sermon
was delivered by the Rev. Herbert
R. Jones, of Benettsville. Mr.
Jones preached a great sermon. He
made an eloquent effort to inspire the
young peaple 'to make the most of
their opportunity and to noble living,
| but his greatest effort was to show
the older people, mothers especially,
their responsibility in training the
children in the way they should go.
Mr. Jones preached another excellent
sermon Sunday night.
On Monday evening Mrs. P. M.
Therrell's violin recital was given.
Mrs. Therrell was assisted by Misses
Sara Moore, Mary Belle Welsh, Vera
Melton and Mildred Lancy. Every
number on this program, vocal and
instrumental, was a treat. It is
doubtful if any better music has ever
been heard in Chesterfield than many
of the numbers rendered on this occasion.
Every one taking part in this !
delightful program deserves special
I mention.
| It is a source of great satisfaction
to know that Chesterfield is not to
lose Mrs. Therrell altogether when
she moves to Mt. Croghan, as she has
agreed to continue^ver violin instruction.

ing of the essays by the three young <

Miss Dosia Threatt was salutitor- J

Each graduate was the recipient of

Prof. Cokcr announced that this i
entire class had been continually on t
the honor roll during the last term of 1
school. f
The diplomas arc classed as State
High School Diplomas and are signed 1
by the governor and state superin- f
tendent of education. Thy entitle ti
the recipient to teach for two years i
without further examination.
The address by Dr. Sykes will long c
be remembered. This was the first v
visit of Dr. Sykes to Chesterfield but t
it is hoped it will not be his last. si
His pleu for educational prepara- v
tion was impressive. He was unspar- c
ing in his intolerence for illiteracy. .1
Like Mr. Jones in his Sunday sermon, 1
Dr. Sykes laid a great deal of re- 0
sponsibilty upon the mothers for the
ignorance of their children. The a
women who grew up immediately af- t
ter the Civil War, said he were not i
so much to blame for their lack of
education, but there is no excuse to- r
day for anyone being unable to read f
and write. He said that a woman 1
who can read and write will teach her t
children what she knows, therefore s
the importance of teaching the girls, f
Dr. Sykes grew eloquent when he I
spoke of President Wilson.* He told <
, how he had heard Prof. Wilson twen- i
I ty years ago lecture on democracy c
^ ..V-.. ..c ..U mta uliiih pioai- /
dent of a great college, governor of 1
a State or president of the United
States. Mr. Wilson's long prepara- J)
tion and study of this subject had c
made him the most influential citizen c
of the world when he wrote the great a
message that changed the whole com- v
plexion of the great European war. c
Whereas the nations were at war
each, for its own grievance, now the "
allies are'all fighting ror one great f
cause, for democracy. a

REPORT ON CONDITION OF I
CHAIN GANG BY STATE BOARD
The official report of the State I
Board of Charities and Corrections;
Jealing with the condition of the \
Chesterfield County chaingang has
leen received at this office. This re
jort is divided under three principal i
leads, "Camp Equipment," "Manage- j
nent" and "Recommendations."
In comparing the report of the
Chesterfield County chaingang with i
hat of a number of other counties '
n the State we noted that there seem-1
d to be very little difference between I
hem. None of them, it seems, are
cept in the sanitary condition that
nodern penal methods demand.
It is not the object of the State
loard of Charities to find fault with
(facers in the administration of their
luties, but the attitude of that office
s one of helpfulness.
It conmc th-it i r* invoct urntirnr * Vw?
haingangs two question are kept in ,
dew: 1st, whether persons are liable
o become worse physically and niorilly
during confinement and 2nd,
vhether the treatment of convicts
in some of our chaingnngs is reform
dive in tendency and whether the
iving conditions tend to prevent disuse.
A synopsis of the Board's findings
ind recommendations with reference 1
o the Chesterfield County chaingnng
s here given:
Camp And Equipment?A pressing
iced at this camp is for more cowortablo
beds for the con\icts. The
lien no longei sleep or trie ground as
hey did when this gang was first in
pected, but their beds are hard and
tare of comfort still. The rcenrdreeping
of the convict population is
lecidedly deficient. The law directng
the supervisor to deduct one-tenth
if the sentence of convicts i Act "(i.',
Vets of 1914) is not obc>e<! to the
etter.
Management?The system of <1 is- :
osing of manure and sewerage at this 1
:amp is below our standard. The
amp, however, was very well located J
ind the water for drinking purposes '
eas gotten from a source we did not
onsider liable to be contaminated. <
Recommendations?(1) As to <
'The Camp and Its Equipment"? .
vcvolde Straw ticks for the beds of i
ii the convicts and two tightly cover- (
d soil buckets for their tent, discardrig
numberour cans now in use as soil t
uckets. t
(2) As to "The Convicts"?Keen j
n the office of the supervisor in a
uitable book a record of the convicts
rhich will sh'>w the name of each ^
f them, the date of the commitment
f ench of them, his race and ago, the
mgth of his sentence, and the date ,
f his discharge with the reason for
is discharge. The foreman should ^
e required to keep at camp a duplinte
of this record. (live the convicts
resh meat twice a week and wheat
read once a day. Follow the law
. quiring the remission of one-tenth
f the sentence of convicts for good ^
ehavior.
Keep the convicts' quarters cleanr.
Wash their blankets and tick u
aver every month. :!
As to "Camp Sanitation"?Dispose
f the sewerage by dumping it daily "
i a pit dug at least 1 f>0 yards from '<
imp and 100 yards from the source 1
f the water supply. Cover the sew- 1
rage carefully with dirt daily and
urn it out with oil and straw weekly. 11
As to "The Convicts"?Give each ?
clean pair of blankets. Require the ?
le convicts to bathe every week in '
pad of every two weeks. Do not '
[>rmit more than one convict to bathe
1 the same tut) of water. The presnt
practice of allowing three con
icts to bathe in the same tut) of t
ater is filthy and liable to spread ?
isease. Give the convicts clean 1
lothcs every week instead of every
ivo weeks.

ohnson, Secretary. 1

Registers
1 Military Strength
.
?
Registration Day, Tuesday, June
r?th, was a great day in Chesterfield
county. It was not u day of gaiety
or of festivities, hut one of the most
serious days ever witnessed here.
Weather was go d and it was a bus/
time for the farmers but they laid
aside their work and came to town,
bringing their colored help of military
age with them. Everybody registered
and returned to work.
Not one word of complaint or objection
we a heard by any of the reg
Iannis, ?ir. rvpuncu. many 01 tnose
registering seemed not only willing
lo go if needed, but anxious to serve
their country. Several registrars
who have become familiar with the
-situation throughout the county saiJ
hey did not believe there was a
slacker in the entire county.
One of the surprises of the day was
he conduct of the negro population.
I hey seem to have t urned out to a
.1 an and registered with a cheerfulness
that was gratifying. The lead r>
of the colored race in Chesterfield
aunty have evidently done some ex ellent
work to bring out the entire
.lapulation of military age, and they
le erve the thanks of those who have
.he country's interests at heart.
Following is the returns by voting
precincts. The entire list will probildy
be published next week.
