Before the Exemption Board
The draft of the national army to wage Ger
many was made in Washington last Friday Saturday
morning the numbers of of those drafted pub
shed in the daily newspapers The official lists have
been received by the Bamberg county board but
is expected in day two The following list of 1866
Bamberg men who will comprise the first draft
compiled by The Herald from published lists. The list
here published not official and there be
but have used every effort to secure the list from the
most reliable There appears to have been consld
cradle confusion in transmission of the numbers as var
lists published at slight variance, but this list is
certainly approximately correct Several numbers
included in the list and these numbers change the
position Of Of the numbers here sed but the change
will be slight.
It is understood that drafted men will be notified by mail
to appear before the exemption board for examination
certain date not yet set At the proper tme they will
be given ample opportunity to present reasons any tor
exemption
One hundred and eghtythree men will be required Of
Bamberg county It is estimated by the department
that this number will be secured from the first 366
bers drawn IT. however, the required number cannot be
secured after exemptions made from these &c., other
numbers will be called in the order in which they were
drawn An unofficial list of all remaining numbers, after
the first $685. in the order they drawn in Washington
is published on another page Of The Herald today.
OF course great deal of interest is manifested in the
drafting This is one occasion when everybody is an
equality. Rich and poor white and black alike drawn
in the great lottery and the regulations apply to
everybody. The exemptions apply to all.
The Herald has been besieged with inquiries to the
drafted for the national army and while the exact
order in which all registered men will be called cannot be
stated until the official lists received the lists publish
ed give the approximate correct order.
