CHAIRMAN MAYNARD AND SECRE-
TARY NESBIT SAY THE LAW RE-
QUIRES ALL BETWEEN AGES OF
EIGHTEEN AND FORTY-FIVE, LN
ELUSIVE, TO REGISTER FOR
MILITARY SERVICE.
There is apparently some confusion
regarding who must register for mil
itary service under the terms of the
new 18-45 draft law, and The Times-
Recoder today ascertained the exact
law pertaining thereto.
Secretary Nesbit, of the local board
keie, stated this afternoon that the
order to register includes all male
citizens, without respect to physi
cal or mental condition, who have at
tained the age of eighteen, and who
have not passed their forty-sixth
birthday. In a word, al] men in their
forty-fifth year must register.
The law on this subject has been
furnished The Times-Recorder by
Chairman Maynard and Secretary Ne--
bit, and reads as follows:
'Persons Who Must Register.—All
male persons who shall have attaint 1
their eighteenth year and who shall
not have attained their forty-sixth
birthday on or before the date set
fur registration by the president, must
register.”
The law, there is plain and there
exists no reason for anyone being
misinformed thereon.
The registration here will be con
ducted in separate buildings, all ne
groes being registered in the Su
perior courtroom in the courthouse,
and all whites in the offices of the
local exemption board, in the city
hall building.

1 COMMITTEE.—S2SO.OO NEEDED TO
INSURE SUCCESS.
The movement to place a gigantic
flag upon the water tower at the -
i city hall is rapidly assuming definite (
shape, and council will be asked at ,
its next meeting to authorize the
erection of the pole and to provide the
funds necessary for this feature of .
, the work.
, The flag to be placed there will be j
purchased through the Chamber of
Commerce, and will be secured at
wholesale cost. The emblem will be
’ <
purchased with funds to be provided
1 i
. by patriotic citizens here, and the ,
Americus Lighting Co., will furnish
the current necessary to keep it well
' i
illuminated at night free of cost tc
<
any one.
In order to keep the flag visible at
. all hours, it will be necessary to pro-
I
I vide three spot-lights, and these, to
. gether with the flag will cost about
I I
( $250.00. In order to raise this amount,
the Chamber of Commerce will ask a
committee of young ladies to convass
the city for funds, and these young
ladies will soon begin their work of
solicitation. The chairman of the
committee is yet to be named, and she
will name the other young ladies who
will wora with her in the project.
The name of the chairman is to be
announced at an early date, accord
ing to n stateemnt of Secretary Per- i
