There is no age limit, s we understand it, on this branch r the service. I noticed that a prom- ' lent pastor of .a large congregation i Alabama naa resigned ms pasture to take a chaplain's place at ' amp Jackson, bnt they want more. The second allotment of soldiers izr lie new army went to Columbia on Wednesday by__special train. Newerry's quota was 86 men. but as" the . < 'i ?r- -i ail was ior aa wm e uieu m una llotment we had onl} 36 of the first 14. and only 36 young men left here he names were published in Tuesay's paper. v- They were mustered in at the court cuse and under the call from Chairlan John M. Kinard the citizens turnd out with the Xweberry Concert and and marched with the young; ^en to the station. They were led t>y lie band and' in the line of march rere the old' veterans and the school hildren and citizens to the number f possibly two thousand. * s Mr. John M.
