MAY :>,<), 1<M8. * * - Chesterfield Count) Over Top Ii In the Red Cross drive closing Monday, May 27th, Chesterfield county did her duty well. From every section came fine reports of liberal contributions to this most wor.hy cause. Chesterfield county iii';ed to give $7,000.00. She h s responded with at least $12,000 and when full reports are in she may vfc h-ve passed that mark. The $7,000.00 allotment was divided between Cheraw and Chesterfield Chapters as follows: Cheraw, 4,000.00; Chesterfield, 3,000.00. A complete report has not been receiv e?i irom Uheraw, but she is known to have raised more than $6,000.00. Chesterfield Chapter, which includes Jefferson, Mt. Croghan, Pageland, Ruby, Angelus, and Guess, has reported $5,805;00, but the report is not complete and it is expected that late returns will greatly add to that figure. rlhe purpose of this Campaign and the needs of the Red Cross were put before the people by many patriotic and enthusiastic workers and the re snonse on the part of the people was most gratifying. Rally meetings were held in various parts of the county, when much enthusiasm was manifest. A fine i opting was held in Chesterfield las Saturday on Main street in front of the clothig.store of H. W. Pusser & '"?na. The Rev. McAm, of Cheraw, addressed a large and attentive crowd and the campaign here was thus closed with enthusiasm and manv eon tributions. The colored folks, many of whom had already contributed, held a meeti'-<r in the Courthouse Sunday. Pa triotic speeches were made hv several leaders among the negroes. On invitation, Hon. G. K. Laney, Mr. W. P. Odom and Mr.J.Arthur Knight addressed the assemblage. Abou $200.00 was quickly subscribed The reports from Cherterfield and its auxiliaries follows.

No excuse will be tolerat- j ed, the department said, except when the person is acutally in the military or naval service. ' he department's warning says: "Draft officials wish it clearly understood that no person who has attained the age of 21 since June 5, or who will attain that age on or before June 5, is excused from restration on June 5, unless on that date he is an actual and active member of the military or naval service, "ersons not subject to registration Ion account of being in the military or naval service become subject to cegistration and are required to register immediately upon leaving such militnrv nr nrntol : * 1 j ?. ..? >> so? < /\ny sucn persons discharged after June 5 must register immediately after their discharge." Provost Marshal General Crowder urging young men to study the drafi. regulations today issued the following statement: "It should be clearly understood thrt registration is a public duty. It is distinct from selective service, in that it is merely preliminary to the later process of selection. For failure to perform this duty congress has irovided a penalty of imprisonment for one year. Furthermore, such failure may result in the loss of valuable rights and privileges and imnediate induction into military ser- |i vice. "No delinquent can be excused for lot registering on grounds that he forgofc or did not realize his duty. The burden is on him and on him alone, to perform that duty, and he ^ done is responsible."
