Even the Exemption Board RevitisWinftrs. Two cases that came before the Rowan exemption board are causing some talk, not in refer ence to the members of the ex emption board, but concerning doctors employed to examine the men drafted. One was a case of a man from Faith, whom it is reported, had been in care of one of the doctors or several years, being treated for rheu matism and other ailments, but was pronounced absolutely sound and was refused exemption. An other was the case of a Negro from Spencer, who. says he has been giving one ot the doctor nearly half of his check month ly in payment of, treatment for consumption, but when exam in ned by five doctors including the "gentleman" who treated him t was unanimously proclaim ed physically sound. The Ne gro told his story and was refus ed exemption, but declared that it was some satisfaction to know he was not dying ith consump tion and that he would not have to h&nd over his check any more for "treatment." , Of course the answer to this peculiar occurence is easv. The doctors had cured their patients. Whenever You Need m Genera!
