Selectmen's draft work stalls over white male quota
In Halifax the first draft nears end as 361 men were certified to the District Board, only 32 reported for mobilization. The call targeted 132 white men of the 831 quota, but three fourths of certified men are colored and many exemption claims linger. A county board report notes uncertainty for future drafts and remaining exemption cases. Also, Miss Anna Gannoway and Mr. Joseph L. Price wed quietly in Lynchburg with plans to reside at City Point Virginia.
