      The Registration of June 5, 1917

      The Governor of North Carolina issued an order that R. L. Mitchelle, Clerk of Superior Court, T. N. Fitch, Sheriff, and Dr. S. A. Malloy proceed immediately to register men for military services. This order directed the enrollment of all men aged twenty-one years to thirty-one years inclusive. The Board, as above constituted, with promptness and dispatch obeyed orders. A day was set in each precinct of the county and registrars appointed for the respective precincts to enroll men between the ages stated above. We append a list of registrars:

      Anderson Precinct: H. J. Hurdle, W. E. Simmons.
      Dan River Precinct: J. A. White.
      Locust Hill Precinct : J. F. White Jr., J. B. Watlington.
      Milton Precinct: M. C. Winstead.
      Semora Precinct: W. O. Smith.
      Ridgeville Precinct: W. L. Compton.
      Hightowers Precinct: W. H. Warren.
      Leasburg Precinct: S. P. Newman.
      Pelham Precinct: J. O. Fitzgerald.
      Stoney Creek Precinct: J. B. Turner and L. L. Lambeth.
      Yanceyville Precinct: Julius Johnson, Alvis Florance.

      These gentlemen discharged their duty as registrars in the most capable manner, and the registration of Caswell was so complete that the officers of this registration were highly commended. The registration cards were promptly returned to the Board, there being 1,011 cards.

      It was then necessary that a duplicate copy be made of these cards. The following persons offered gratuitous services and assisted in the copying of the cards: Miss Ruby Mitchelle, J. A. White; T. H. Hatchett; W. M. Burton; George A. Anderson.
