charge Of the medical examination
and will eb assisted by DR.. George l..

A. Quick, of Clarendon.
The work will be expedited as rapid
3y as consistent but just how much
time will be required to complete
the examinations necessary to secure
the quota of 153 is, of course, not
known. A. total of 102 men were call
ed for tomorrow, ,1O2 for Wednesday
and simila: number for Thursday.
Should the requisite number not be
obtained after these have been pass
ed upon others will be called for in
the order in which their names ap-

Washington. Those names are now
being arranged by the board.
One man, who had read notice
enormously published in Washing

this morning but was told that the
examination would not start until
tomorrow.
According to reports from other
parts of the state about seventy-five
per cent of the men called for ex-
animation have asked for exemption,
based on the plea of having depen-
dents to support. Should the same
ratio be found here the examination
will necessarily take up several days
rlore than the three set for it.
