The Selection Of Sumter's Quota for
National Army Starts Monday.

Since the official notices have been
sent to all those men who are to ap-
pear before the exemption board next
week, everything is about in readiness
for Sumters quota of men to be Sc
lected. DR.. ]. A.. Mood, the principal
examining physician, has arranged to
have three assistants on hand to help
him pass on the men who come UP
for examination. These will be Drs.

One-third Of the 534 men, who have
been summoned to appear, will be on
hand on each of the first three DAYS
Of next week. Those wishing to claim
exemption may now obtain, from the
office of the chairman, the exemp-
ton blanks which will have to be flll-
ed out and presented to the board
Before anyone will be exempted, how
ever, three affidavits will have to be
brought before the board, swearing
that the statements contained in the
exemption blank are true. One of
these affidavits must be signed by the
person claiming exemption, another
by his wife and the third by some dis
interested party. The making of a
false statement in one Of these ap-
plications will be considered a peni-
tentiary offence.
The examination Of the men will
take place in the court room Of the
county court house.

SIDE BY SIDE.
In MemOriam Of Jessie and Reitta
HaynswOrth.

Side by side they went on life's way;
gathering flowers and scattering them
in the path of others.
They sang and played and laughed
merrily; birds sang to them all day
long and to the little sisters all was
bright and beautiful.
For them there was no sudden
descent into valleys of depression; and
no rocky ascents into raging storms.
Theirs was a painless way; their lit
tie feet were never wounded or scar.
red or torn by thorns.
Theirs was a short way; they came
to the end of their earthly journey
suddenly and before they realized it.
Their companion and best friend
the Saviour; had promised to guide
them across the dark waters. He &C
companied them; He opened the pear
ly gates and Side by Side they enter
ed into the Heavenly fold.
Goods finger touched them and
they slept" A beautiful sleep.
The stream was swift He lifted
them tenderly in His bosom and bore
them across Side by Side.
They are His Lambs and of His
fold. Earth had not tainted or
stained them. Together they went
the little Lambs; pure and spotless to
their Shepherd. They are Treasures
in Heaven.
Side by side they shall walk the
golden streets of the city not made
with hands eternal in the heavens"
Side by side they shall sing praises
with heavens children to their Re-
deemer; Shepherd; King.
They beckon to their loved ones to
come to the beautiful Mansions pre-
pared for us. They call each loved
one to come up higher.
At the gates of Heaven a happy and
redeemed soul was watching and
waiting for them-their Father gone
before. Together they await their
own.
What a happy homecoming some
sweet day.
Side by side you rest
Far from earth's chill; cold.
Some day we are going to thee;
Into the sweet, quiet fold.

GOOD WORK IN CAMPS.
Major KilbOurne is Pleased With
Progress at OglethOrpe and Nc
PhcrSOn.
Charleston Post.

Charleston Post.
Major C. E. Kilbourne, chief of staff
Of the Southeastern department re-
turned this morning from trip OF in
spection of the cantonment sites at
Charlotte and Atlanta, and of the
two officers training camps at Forts
| Oglethorpe and Mcpherson. The
Charlotte site he found to be ute
satisfactory. and the construction of
the buildings at Atlanta well progress
ed. At the latter place, trenches for
the water main had been dug. and the
pipe was being put down when Major
Kilbourne was there. No regular
bodies Of troops had yet arrived at
either camp. although guards were
on the grounds, being quartered in
tents.
Excellent work is being done at
both of the officers training camps,
states Major Kilbourne, and the pro-
gress of the student officers i'm train
ing there is source of qualification TO
all. In some particulars the men at
one camp are slightly ahead, while i'm
others those of the other lead. On the
whole, the nature of the surrounding
terrain has more favored the men at
Oglethorpe, as the surface is more va
ried, affording innumerable field prob
lens.
AT Chattanooga iMajor Kilbourn
also looked over the regular army
units there in process Of being split
and then recruited up. There are
there at present nine and one-half
regiments Of infantry, one of ca 5aIry,
two of field artillery. and a number of
auxiliary troops. The growth of
these units has so far advanced that
Gen. Wood has recommended that
they be organized as a full army
corps, with corps and brigade head
quarters.
Special bodies of officers from Ma
tional Guard divisions in this de-
partment are now being appointed, and
the headquarters of army depart
ments from which other National
Guard divisions will come into this for
training are being requested to ap-
point other boards, to look over the
ground at each cantonment and Sc
lect the best spot on it for the rifle
range. Although the officers who Sc
lected each site assured themselves
that it contained ground suitable for
range, they did not spend enough
time studying it to warrant their Sc
lecting any particular part of 1t for
rifle shooting and are accordingly
leaving this to officers of the units
which will occupy The camps.
Major William N. Michel, Field Ar
tillery, has reported at Headquarters,
the purpose of his coming being to
select the best locations at each camp
for field artillery practice. 1t is pos
sible that there will be one range at
each camp, or one range interme-
diately situated may supply several.
