Out Of Io6 Men So Far Examined
Only 80 Have Been Rejected.
Gov. Dyer in New York.

Recruiting Is booming again today at
the North Main street station, and Lieut..
Webb and his assistants are very busy.
Work has increased $50 much since the
men of Battery A have been coming IN
at the rate OF ID an hour, that 1t has been
necessary to employ an additional clerk
In the office, to make duplicates of the
enrolment papers. Under the presenl
system one full set of papers goes to camp
with the mon, and another full set Il
plnced on file at the adjutant generals
offics, thus obviating mistakes due to
papers being mislaid.
Capt. Barker, commander of Battery A.
is on constant duty at the recruiting office
looking after the men of his command
and that he has exercised a great deal of
care In their selection Is shown by the
TACT that u. OF 1875 men examined by the
G ctors up to one O'Clock today only
:S men have so far been rejected. Tney
sie rugged looking lot of men, just
suited for the artillery service. The en-
tire battery Will be examined by this
aftcrnoon, and the North Main street
. alton will probably be closed some time
t,m9rrow.
