The main- tuple of Interest In the streets today la bow the, local exemp tion board Is progressing; with the work of selecting the draftarmyfrom Ca barrua county. t "-' For Monday there were 140 men sum moned to appear before the Board. This includes the names of some meu who hare enlisted In various branches ! of the service since the day of registra tion. Borne of those did not appear, as it was not necessary. However, out of the 140 summoned, there were 118 present to I examined yesterday, leaving 22 unaccounted for. Of the 118 men who presented them selves yesterday for examination, 82 were accepted as physically fit for ser vice, and 36 were rejected. The ma jority of those rejected, were thrown Mint on account of being under weight. The percentage of those physically un fit among the white was much higher than among the colored. r . - Seventy of the 82 men physically fit claimed exemption from service for va rious reasons, while only 12 men filed no claim for exemption.. The most gen eral .claim for exemption was that of being married, and having dependent wife and children. Of course, the fact that a man Is married will not neces sarily exempt him from service, accord lug to a statement recently sent out by the provost marshal general, and It is safe to say that many of the claims for exemption that have been Sled will not be allowed by the local board. How ever, until the board has passed upou the merits of the individual cases, there Is no way to forecast how many of the men already examined, will be ph cud In the draft army.
