MANY ASK TO
Be EExEMPT;;MORE
MEN SUMMONED

More than 700 Abbeville county
men have been summoned to appear
before the local board of examiners
to date. The board has been IN ses-
sion daily since last Wednesday, with
the exception of Saturday when med
.ical examinations were left off and
a number of exemption claims were
passed upon. The examiners pan
to complete their work by Friday
night. .
Compared with other counties OF
the State Abbeville's percentage OF
exemption claims is very low al
though about eighty per, cent have
claimed exemption. 1t is known that
the local board will reject number
of these claims, however. For IN
stance, a man who claims exemption
on account of dependents and IS
found to be making salary OF less
than $50 a month, the prospects
of this man going to the European
front will be bright. Thirty dollars
per month, with all expenses, is now
the price of privates services IN
Uncle Sans army and it is known
that quite a number of those who
have filed claims of exemption are
now making much less than this
amount.
The physical examinations prove
Abbeyille to be county of unusually
strong and healthy people, less than
five per cent being disqualified on
these examinations.
