Registrants Who Failed to
. . Return Questionnaire ; to
Be Raced in Class 1 and
" Name Reported to Police
Authority. l'
. - There are 231 registrants who
tailed to return their question
lf naires to the . Richmond county
exemption board. By such fail
ure, the law automatically places
, ' them in Class lf and their' names
are turned over to the police
r authority with orders that they
V be brought before the exemption
board. ":' ;!:'
Accordingly, the names of the
.231 who failed to return their
questionnaires to the Richmond
county board were on Feb. 28th
turned over to Sheriff Homer D.
Baldwin.
The failure of these men to
return their questionnaires does
not necessarily mean that they
intentionally and wilfully failed
to do so, but in all likelihood
v many of them simply tailed to
receive such questionnaires, due
to incorrect -postofnce address.
However, this is not the fault of
- 'the government, and in no way
' releases the registrant from lia
y bility. - ,u
The law applying to delinquent
registrants is as follows:
A JThe names of person who fail to re-
Wn their questionnaires or to report for
physical examination when ordered to do
I so shall forthwith be sent to the ' local
? police authority with a request immedi
i atejy to yisit all such named persons and
I ' to bring them before the local board.
. . Such names should at the time they are
repored to the police be also reported to
the press with a request for publication."
The following are the names
" of delinquents. They tan receive
their questionnaires by applying
at once to the local exemption
board; if they do this at once,
: they will not be prosecuted, as it
is not the desire pf the local board
or of the government to take
' drastic measures until it is cer
tain the men are wilfully evading
the draft The names posted on
February 28th were:

Library for Rockingham
Carnegie will give a building if a site is
secured and a maintenance fund
assured. Next Tuesday will be
v "Library Day" when $1500
be raised by committees.
Several months ago a number of our most progressive
ladies seriously considered the need of a library tor our commun
ity. They held a meeting and decided to work until this library
was secured. The outcome of this meeting was another meeting
at which 100 good books and $100 was donated. While it was an
excellent beginning it was far from what was necessary sot they
decided to make a bolder effort and secure a Carnegie Library.
Through the efforts of these ladies, Mrs. Blanton,
secretary of the State Library Association, came from Raleigh and
addressed us on 'How to get a Carnegie Library.' At this meeting
we organized a Library Association, the resolve of which was to
get a library for Rockingham.
A community is known by its churches, schools and
Eublic institutions. Can Rockingham afford to do without a public
ibrary? The Carnegie Foundation will give us a building if
we will furnish the site and provide funds for maintenance. Rock
ingham will not miss this opportunity. (
Will some public-spirited citizen give the Library As
sociation a lot to build on? The Everett Estate has been so kind
as to offer to give us a lot in the northern part of town. Mr. Gore
has offered us a lot on Washington Street but it is too small We
can also get a lot from the Great Falls M'f g. Co. We appreciate
these offers but it is not to the interest of our community to locate
the library on any of these lots. It should be more centrally
located, probably near our school building where it can be used for
reference by our students. We should secure this lot now. If no
citizen is public-spirited enough to contribute a lot we should buy
one. .". ,.v. . :-i
Our citizens are so anxious for a public library that
they are not going to wait on these public-spirited citizens or the
Carnegie Foundation. They want to start a public library right
now and have it in operation by April first It is going to take
$1500.00 to do it. Are you going to nelp? You will have the op
portunity next Tuesday! Five committees have been appointed to
see you on the morning of the twelfth instant. We are going to
have, a whirlwind campaign on that day and raise this money. Let's
have a library so that we can go into the intensive cultivation of
the minds of our boys and girls. And in the future years we will
be known by the brilliant minds of pur citizens as well as by our
many cotton mills! ; 5 s ;
