f Ofye Chesterfield ^Advertiser VOLUME 36?NO. 19 " "" ===================^^ CHESTERFIELD, S. C., THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1917 ~~ ^ $1.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE The Great Roll of ^ Called; Selectioi The lottery by which was dcterm ined the militury liability of the tei million men registered on June 1 was performed in Washington, D.C. P last Friday. Ten thousand five hundred num bers were put in smnll capsules in i great glass vessel. A blindfolde< man drew out these one at a time When a capsule was drawn it was op ened and the number ascertained. Ir uu.iv. -egistration precinct in th? United States in which there is a mar r whose number corresponds to the on< drawn, that man is called. Thus th< drawing for all the districts took olaci .at the same time. There are 2383 men registered ii Chesterfield county, and of course when uny number larger than thif -i. was drawn it did not apply to thif county. The Advertiser is able this week t.< present about 500 name* with L?eH serial number ami the number indicating the order of liability. Ihc I^^B'-spumber preceding each name is that man's serial number; in drawing il toolAthe place of his name and as if well \pown, was given to him before the drtKving took place. The number following his name in this list is the r number indicating his order in the call. For instance, number 258 is the first man to be called before the local board for physical examination and number 458 is second and so on down the list. When the verified 1i?f moniun.i from Washington |,y the local boanl a list including the# first 328 names will be posted on the courthouse door ^ and notice will be mailed to each of these names, informing the recipient when to appear before the local board t in Chesterfield for examination. If all of this 228 is exhausted before the county's quota is secured another call will follow. All those numbers up to and including 328 in order of liability, may expect to receive this cull not later than the middle of next week, providing, of course, there is no error in the list. Only the receipt of the Master list will make this absolutely sure. 258?Duncan McDonald, 1. 458?Ernest II. Melton, 2. 1436?Charlie F. Allen, 3. 854?Georgie Tate,4. 1894?Charlie B.

Worship Master MIDDENDORF Death Of Sarah McMaoos. On Monday evening, July 1G, the death angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. H. L. McManus, of Cheraw, and took their only child little Sarah Kathleen, age 17 months. All that loving hands and medical skill could do proved of no avail as the Great Master saw fit to take her. The little body was carried to Middendorf the following day and tenderly laid to rest in the Methodist Cemetery. Our hearts go out in deepest sympathy to the young parents and relatives. SATURDAY TO BE REMEMBERED The scene at the courthouse Saturday exceeded the usual scene attending an election. Excitement was ' great. Men from all parts of the ' county gathered here to find out their ...........n .... <i > > ?i ? oviiui iiuinuci muy uuumi turn curtermine if they had been called to the colors. 'Phone calls and telegrams poured in on Clerk of Court Mangum 1 all day. Mr. Mangum and Deputy Clerk Cannon were kept busy all day at the 'phone. Chief Clerk of the Exemption Hoard, W. J. Hanna, was busy every minute looking up serial numbers. Despite the fact that the serial numbers have been posted two weeks at the court house and The Advcr- i tiser for two weeks called all registrants' attention to the fact and advised them to get their serial numbers, the majority of those registered waited until Saturday to obtain this information, and then there was a grand rush. Saturday, July 21, will be long remembered in Chesterfield county, as nearly every family in the county had a very well-defined interest in the list first made public here on that day.

THE ROAD TO LANCASTER Assistant State Iliphway Engineer ; Murray visited Chesterfield and Page- j land and Jefferson Monday, making a ; tentative survey of the routes for the best highway from Chesterfield to Lancaster. There will be ubout $40,000 of IT. 1 S. Government money to spend on i this route; the two counties have t<> put up an equal amount. AH this money will be spent under the supervision of the State Highway Engineer. There are two routes possible from Chesterfield to Lancaster, one by Pagoland, as the original Chesterfield & Lancaster road was laid out, and one by Jefferson. The people of each of these good towns are anxious to have the road pass through their respective towns. Mr. C. M. Tucker, editor of The Pageland Journal, met Mr. Murray in Chesterfield and presented to him facts and arguments bearing on the route by Pageland. Mr. Tucker is public-spirited and enterprising and he first of all wants the highway constructed, then he is convinced that via Pageland is the logical route. Mr. Murray says that costs, mileage and population served and other matters will be considered before the State Highway Engineer makes a final decision. A committee of Chesterfield citizens, composed of F. W. Rivers, J. C. Rivers, L. H. Trotti, C. C. Douglass and C. L. Hunley, conferred with Mr. Murray while here. SCHOOL BONDS SOLD The school bonds for improving the Chesterfield High School building were sold for $4,751.00, bearing 5 per cent. The buyers are to bear all expenses, engraving and attorney's fees. Considering the present depressed condition of the bond market, this is considered a good sale. The contract for the work on the building was let to Mr. J. Aaron Sellers for $3,750.00. The imrovements are to be an annnv i 4 Vw? f<>??f ? ? - -' j...-. ' ? ... v.tv- luiui ui nil c?, iwu stories, two room to the story. The trustees hope to have enough money to take out the big stairway inside the main building and substitute an iron stairway on the outside, thus making more room in the auditorium and making, also, for safety in case of fire. The contract calls for the compleinn of the work within !M) days. Work has already begun. CHESTERFIELD, ROUTE 3 Messrs J. A. Oliver and John B Rivers motored to Cheraw Saturday i>n business.

INITIAL MEN SELECTED INTO ARMY AND GUARD Washington, July 21.?Before September 1 thousands of men sifted from the top of the draft list will be in khaki, it was officially predicted tonight. The war department notified Provost Marshal General Crowder that the first men called through the draft will be placed in the ranks of of the regular army and National Guard as soon as picked. Disquieting reports of members of exemption boards resigning or refusing to serve reached the war department. But no delay by these evasions will be brooked. Veiled threats to deal harshly with them were made by officials. The draft law provides that any inexcus.11,1,1 r :..u WUOIWM t/l tlll-ll Mill V Id JIUIIIMIaMc by a fine or imprisonment. Many resignators are tendered because the members fear to take the "political risk." As soon as the printed "master lists" for each district reach the boards they are ready to begin the sifting process. At first thoy will summon from the tops of the lists a number equal to twice their quota. Owing to the large number of exemptions for dependency and physical reasons, this number will ln> insufficient in most districts, and the boards will summon the next men on the list. Officials estimate exemptions will average more than GO out of every 100 men. Forces of clerks in the provost marshal general's office labored throughout the day to check the lottery lists and the first proofs of tin* printed "master lists" for the boards. The lists are being mailed special delivery to the 4,557 boards. Men on the lottery lists are barred from enlisting in any branch of the army or navy after their name lias been posted as called for examination.
