EXEMPTION BOARD STILL
EXAMINING TIE CLAIMS

The Glynn county exemption board,
which has been having such siren
uous time for the past several weeks,
will soon have completed its work.
It's duties of summoning drafted men,
examining those claiming exemption,
etc, will end this week, and no doubt
the board will feel a great relief.
The work of examining those who
were passed last week and who claim
ed exemptions was resumed yester-
day morning, and during the day
quite large number of cases were
passed on, most of those appearing
before the board receiving their eX-
emptions. AS soon as this work is
completed, the board will make out
a list of the 107 who are to leave the
city next week for Atlanta, and they
will be given notice as to the exact
time of their departure, how they are
to secure tickets, etc.
It is understood that a number of
men in Brunswick have exemption
claims before the district board, and
nearly all of these will be passed on
within the next day or two.

With something like 400 men at
work, the large plant Of the Yaryan
Rosir and Turpentine company re-
sumed operation yesterday morning,
and five minutes thereafter the en-
tire plant Of the big concern was
running as smoothly as if it had never
been closed down for a day. Near
ly every man who was with the plant
when it closed was at his old post
yesterday, and the management and
employees were alike delighted.
During the week the plant was
closed the force in the woods was
kept as busy as ever, and this result
ed in the accumulation of quite
large amount of wood, which means
that no immediate shortage will be
experienced. The wood situation has
been giving the company more or
less trouble here of late, and the shut
down of week gave the wood forces
an opportunity to catch up somewhat
with the supply.
