Before the Medical Examiners

Before the Medical Examiners.
The Clarion. Ledger Of Sunday
morning says:
"The examination of the WessOn
Rifles, Captain Scales Company,
was completed Friday afternoon.
Out of "a men II were rejected, or
about 80 per cent. This is enough
to disgust even the most sanguine
man, but Captain Scales is not the
least bit discouraged and has sent
home for more volunteers. He
says that he will have no trouble
in filing out his Company. A very
considerable number of men in the
Wesson Company were under size
and weight.
The Walthall Guards are being
examined today and up to the hour
of noon 80 men had been before the
Surgeons and only four rejected.
This is the best showing yet made
by any Company and confirms the
assertion made by the Clarion
Ledger last Tuesday that the Wal
thall Guards was the best COmpa-
ny, from q physical standpoint in
the Regiment. Before leaving Me-
ridian Captain Shambers measured
and weighed all his volunteers.
The statement has been made
that 80 per cent. of the men re-
jected were cigarette fiends. 1t
seems impossible that any sane
man could believe such state
ment. DIR. Glennon states to a
Clarion-Ledger reporter that while
excessive cigarette smoking is un-
doubtedly injurious to the lungs,
he had not made single rejection
from this cause.
A we'll known citizen who visit
ed the grounds yesterday exclaim-
ed: "And are these fellows aver
age specimens of Mississippi 7"
The remark was cOuched in very
sarcastic language and the man
was evidently disgusted with the
small stature and general appear
ance of the particular company
which he was inspecting. There is
no doubt but what there are better
specimens of physical manhood in
Mississippi than the boys now at
Camp Pat Henry, but for some rea'
son the aforesaid big men are not
inclined to 60 to war just at pres
ent.
Company III, Brookhaven, went
through the examination with fly
ing cOlOrs. Only out of 50 men
were rejected.

1t is human nature to grOwl.
Some of the boys are growing be-
cause they failed to stand the med
ical examination at jackson, while
likely many of them would have
gr0wled inwardly had they passed.
But lots of them will enlist who
were too weak while at home to
cut stove wOod.-Hattiesburg Pro.

The Deadly Cigarette.

The army medical examiners re.
port that large number of re-
jections of recruits is due to physi-
cal defects caused by cigarette
smoking. Outside the ranks of
cigarette smokers, they say rejec-
tiOns are fewer than they were i'll the
civil war examinations. Among
habitual cigarette smokers the re.
iections are nearly 80 per cent.
This is an appalling condition.

The Men who Responded to Their Ceun-
try's Call 81 Years Ago and Now.
BY the courtesy of Mr.. J. z. Cobb,
of Harriston, The LEADER has in its
possession a copy of the Brookhaven
Daily Advertiser, of Wednesday, May
8, 1S61,-3 years ago.
Brookhaven then was part Of Law
renee County. Among other interest
ing things of the long ago found in its
columns are rosters of the Lawrence
Rifles and the Brookhaven Greys.
Now that, for the first time since that
memorable epoch in our country's his
tory, the alarums of war are again
sounding, we publish the names Of the
gallant and patriotic men who then
responded to the call to arms in con-
nection with the brave and gallant
young men who have responded to
their country's first call for men now !:

+. II. Hartlon, for 35 or 40 years
a leading milliner of New Orleans,
and whose name is household
wor. in thousands of Southern
homes, died on the 7th inst, after
a brief illness of two days. MIR.
Hardon had reached ripe old
age, and during his long business
career, won a name for honor and
integrity worthy the praise and
emulation of all. He was IL court

Julius Parker, private in the Wes-
son Rifles, was killed by the cars at
Jackson Friday night, between Camp
Henry and the Union Depot. He had
been rejected by the medical examiner
as unfit for service and opinion is di-
vided as to whether he was drunk or
laid down on the track with the de-
purpose of suicide.
