go rs volunteers than as conscripts.
This is an opportunity of home COM
pany, o!iiccred by home men and com
posed of home boys. Those who will
be Dir; fled will be mingled, possibly
with men from other States.
Some of the young men are of the
opinion that only town boys will be
called TO the colors, but they arc
badly mistaken. 1t is estimated that
Chesterfield county will have to furn-
ish about five hundred men, as the
quota is based upon the whole war
strength of the National Guard in ad-
dition to the new selcctive army.
Thus it can easily be seen that the
towns cannot furnish the whole quota.
If Chesterfield county is to have an
Other volunteer company in addition
to the Cheraw Guards, the company
must be organized not later than Sat
urday, May 26th.
Let all young men who are inter
cstcd be at the court house at 3 pm.

A Third Regiment, National

are on foot to organize Chesterfield
company for this regiment. Those

of the Third Regiment are urged to

26th, at 3 o'clock.
This third regiment will be organ

have to register, if within the regis
tration ages, will be exempt from the
draft. All young men between 18
and 35 years of age are acceptable
as volunteers.
The formation of company in
Chesterfield should especially appeal
to the young single men between 81
