Sergeant Ed Cobb, of Rich
mond, who has been in camp with
the state troops at Camp Shelby,
Hattiesburg, Miss., since the mi
litiamen were sent there, has
gone to Leon Springs, Texas,
where he is taking the training
for an officers' commission. Ser
geant Cobb is splendidly qualified
and his friends are satisfied that
he will come out of the officers'
school with a commission with
flying colors. He was one of the
few chosen for this training out
of the large body of enlisted men
in the camp at Hattiesburg.
Broaddus Hurt By FalL

WILSON SAYS COUNTRY
WILL SEE NECESSITY
Of Rigid Fuel Order Millions of
Workmen Idle When Plants
Shot Down For 5 Days.
(By Associated Press.)
Washington, . Jan. 18 It is
stated officially today that Presi
dent Wilson is not-even consider
ing interfering with the1 fuel' re
striction order and feels the
country will be satisfied with its
necessity.
Most of Administrator Gar
field's staff was busy today issu
ing special rulings in response to
a flood of eastern querries asking
exactly what form of industries
are included in the order. Ap
parently the whole country is
much at sea as to just what the
order means.
Meanwhile a supplementary
exemption list is being prepared
by the Fuel Administration but
it appeared doubtful if it will be
made public owing to fears that
the Fuel Administration will be
swamped with requests from
other industries.
Some of the industries notified
of their exemptions were stee
mills, producing ship plates
woolen mills turning- out sroods
tor the army and navy, and cer
tain domestic utilities, including
ice piants wnicn, nowever, should
consolidate, wherever possible
and operate only one plant and
distribute the output through the
otners.

the bunkers of ships the most
important task and today bent
his energies to relieve the situa

Cincinnati, Buffalo, Detroit,

shut down with figures of men
out of work running from 50,000
to 500,000.
As the day wore on it became
apparent that the first day's en
forcement of the order was at
tended by the greatest confusion.
While some industries in one
state had closed down the same
classes of business continued in
other states, indicating widely di
vergent interpretations of the
mandate by industries. The or
der meanwhile was attacked in
both Houses of Congress.

500 OF MADISON FEEDERS

i "l
T''A" fiTovemenf has been inaugur
ated by the Kentucky State Fair
to have a $20,0000 premium list
for cattle exhibitors at the Fair
this year. Ten thousand dollars
will be given to the cattle breed
ers of the State, and $10,000 will
will go to the cattle feeders. The
State of Kentucky will be divid
ed into three sections and com
petition will be confined to each
section.
This is one of the biggest un
dertakings ever inaugurated by
the State Fair, and especially so
under present conditions. This
will give cattle breeding and cat
tle feeding industry a greater
stimulus than can possibly be
given through any other channel.
Competition for prizes is confin
ed to the state of Kentucky, and
the fatted cattle competing must
be owned by the exhibitor since
May 1, 1918. Cattle competing
in the feeding exhibits must in
owned by the exhibitor at least
30 days before prior to the date
of exhibition. No exhibitor will
be permitted to exhibit and show
more than one entry in each
class.
In order to secure this gener
ous premium list, which should
interest every breeder and feeder
of cattle in the state, it becomes
necessary to raise $10,000 by sub

CAUSED VERY MUCH
CONCERN IN RICHMOND
Capt. Carlo Brittain In Command
of the Michigan, With Five
Madison Boys In Crew.
Much interest and anxiety was
occasioned m Richmond late
Thursday when the Daily Regis
ter's Associated rress aispatcn
was read that six seamen were
killed and three injured on the U.
S. S. Michigan, in a gale off the
the Atlantic coast. Capt. Carlo
B .Brittain, whose wife is here
now visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. T. E. Baldwin, is in com
mand of the Michigan, and there
are five Richmond young men on
the Michigan and one of Lancas
ter. Luckily none of them was
hurt. The Richmond members of
the crew are Cecil Simmons,
Evan McCord, Del Azbill, John
William McCord, Andrew - Mc
Cord and a young man named
Terrill from Garrard county.
Mr. Simmons was in Richmond
for 10 days a few days ago, and
probably just reached the ship in
time to go on this cruise. Mrs.
Brittain says that the Michigan
went out of port on Monday, the
day she left Capt. Brittain. No
information is, of course, given
as to the destination or length
of the cruise, though it is thought"
probable that the ship will put
into port with the bodies of the
men killed, and also the injured.
A fuller dispatch gave the nam
es of the men killed and injured
as follows: The dead: Osben
Capers Belyeu, Carl Frederick,
Clarence Eugene Book, Frank
John Prinz, Julian S. Bell, all sea
men ; and John Engellio, Chicago,
