toned in yesterdays Messenger failed
to come up to the requirements. Two
other applications were received and
one passed the examination, but one
later decided not to enlist, and as they
were cousins, the other withdrew his
application. They had applied for en-
liStment with the agreement that they
would both enlist or neither would do
SO.
The examination is very rigid, and
Captain Cusack gave us come idea OF
that act when he stated that out Of
10000 applications under the new en-
listment now going on in all b states,
only $500 men had been accepted.
During the several months that Cap
tain Cusack has been recruiting at
G~oldsboro he has accepted only eleven
men out of seventy-two who applied.
Applicants must be able to read and
write. must have a good moral charac-
ter and must pass a rigid examination.
No tough characters will be accepted IL
the recruiting officers have knowledge
of the fact. Applicants must be recon-
mended by two reputable persons. and
Captain Cusack says even then they are
often rejected. Some times the men are
rejected because they ave faces that
too plainly indicate their character.
