MEN EXAMINED FOR DRAFT
MORE ltEGISTRANTS WILL HAY i
TO BE EXAMINED.
About Half Failed to Pass Physical
ENanlination.-tery Few Who
DO Not Claim Exemption.

On Saturday. Monday and Tuesday
there were without doubt more men
in Bamberg between the ages OF , /
and 80. inclusive. than on any three
days previously in the history OF the
town. The occasion was the eXami-
nation by the local se!ective draft
board of 12I men summoned for the
selective draft army. The eXamina-
ton began early Saturday morning.
One hundred and twenty-five young
men were summoned before the
board Saturday to stand the physical
examination. Dr.. Cleckley. the ply
sician-member of the local board, was
assisted Saturday by Drs. S. P. RentZ
and Copeland. The board and physi-
clans worked far into the night before
the work was concluded. Monday
two hundred were summoned before
the board. Dr.. Cleckley was assisted
that day by Drs HartZog, Rentz, Wy
man and Roberts. The remaining
two hundred were summoned for
Tuesday, when the examining physi-
clan was assisted by DrS. Wyman,
RentZ and HartZog.
More than half Of those examined
failed to pass the physical test, and
were given certificates of discharge
on that ground.
About 90 per cent. Of those pass
ing the physical examination claim
ed exemption on one ground and an
other. OF course. all those who claim
exemption will not be exempted. but
it is apparent that another increment
of registrants will have to be sum-
moned before the board More not
ices will be sent out just as soon as
the board can get the time to make
them out.
The question of exemptions will be
considered by the board at once. All
persons who have claims for eXemp-
ton were given the proper blanks to
be filled out, sworn to before no.
tary, and returned to the board.
Within the next few days all persons
passing the physical examination Will
be notified of the acceptance or re-
lection of their claims.
At present it appears that many
more of the registrants of the
county may have to be examined be-
fore the county's quota of 1873 is Sc
cured
