MANY NEGROES LEAVE PACTS AND FANCIES FOR CAMP THIS WEEK 132 Hatc Been Ordered to Report to the Local Board ofT Friday. One of the largest levies of drafted men made in Barnwell County since Februa^r is that for June. 132 ne groes have been ordered by the Local Board to report in Barnwell Friday morning, the 21st inst., at 9 o’clock a. m. From this number 110 will be selected and sent to Camp Jackson on the noon train. In making this call the members of the Board protected, ms far as possible, the farming inter est of the county, selecting those men who could best be spared. In spite of this, however, many farm hands are among the list. It is thought that the farmers will be hit rather hard on the July call, as Class One has been very thoroughly cleaned of all men net actively engaged in farming, and from now on order numbers will gov ern entirely the selection ef the draft ed men It is thought that the July call Wll to far .bout *00.000 mm.
