Large Number Fall to ]'ass Ex awmination. Quite a number of parties were'made up here to visit the boys at Camp Moore near Columbia Sunday. :lost of them went down by automobile, but several went down on the train. A large crowd of visitors were at the camp. The Laurens boys were found in high spirits, although about a third of them were turned down by the medical examiners. The company now numbers a little over 60 men and these will go to Mexico as a definite unit in a few days, possible on Friday, In the officers quarters there was an air of disappointment over the failurc of more boys from the city to enlist Some resentment was evident too ovet the efforts to organize another com pany in Laureps when men were need ed so badly for the Traynham Guards However, the failure to recruit th< company to full strength and to number that would compare favorabl3 'with other companies has stiiiult the fighting spirit in the boys and judg ing from their words Sunday they ar going to make it hot for the Mexicans The time of the troops has beet given over mostly to camp routine ani -.hiking, in order to accustom the imei to camtp life.

When the call to arms came, he telephoned down that he wanted to enlist in the local company. Not knowing who the speaker was, the member of the company answering the phone told 1ima1 to come on down and join the colors. The next morning, much to the surprise and consterna tion of all Capt. Lanford walked in and said he was ready to sign the pa pers. Much to the regret of all con cerned, his application had to be turn ed down. Capt. Lanford said he was already a veteran of one war and want ed to be a veteran of two. 3iiss Lucy Hellamis Dead.
