 ''I do not believe that there is any foundation in the report that Fort Huachuca will be moved to Douglas or some other point" said General Thomas.

REFUSES EXEMPTION
Capt. Wheeler of Arizona Rangers Insists on Paying School Tax and
 Gives Reasons Therefor.

The following letter received by County Treasurer Gaines shows tha Captain Whseler of the Arizona ran, gers places higher value on the ben fits of an education than do many citi- zens. Under the laws of the territory rangers are exempt from both the road and school tax: but Captain Wheeler, while accepting the exemp- tion as to the former, insists on pay ing the school tax and cannot see the justice of this exemption. The letter follows:

 "Nsco, December I9, ls0S "Mr. J. \. Gaines, County Treasurer,
 Tombstone. Arizona:
 "My Dear Mir. Gsines-I hereby en. close your check for S2.50 your refund for school tax, which you state you do not collect from rangers. Now, Mir. Gaines, l know that rangers are ex- empted from roao tax and for good reasons, and therefore I accept this immunity from this class of taxation, however. l cannot see any justice in exempting a ranger from the school tax, especially & ranger married and with a nine year old boy attending the public schools As citizen l desire to pay this school tax, as consider 1t a personal duty and obligation upon my part to do so. Therefore, regard less of the law in this case, you will please accept the enclosed check in payment of my just obligations to the county which affords my child the of enlightenment.

 Develop Property

That the Calumet & Arizona people mean to work the Clark and Scsnlon properties in the Mammoth district quite extensively Is evidenced by the fact that TWO stages loaded with min CTS have left Tucson for that place. The Calumet X Arizona company ac- quired these properties several months ago for a sum said to have been about S75.OOO. The deal was completed after negotiations, which extended over year.

Biq Herd Will be
 Dipped Next Spring

Max Axford, foreman of the Greene Cattle Co. D, was up from Hereford to- day. Mir. Axford states that the large herd of cattle belonging to the com psny which were quaraneined at the line were not so badly infected with ticks as at first supposed. The infect ed bunch will be dipped" but it is not likely that they will undergo the process until spring, since the cold weather might work hardship and greater loss on the herd if attempted now.

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1908-12-05

MADAM PRESIDENT AND LADIES:
Your delegate in company with
Mrs. Mercer and Mrs. Green arriv-
ed in Valdosta at $50 p. m. Mon
day the 10th, going VIA, Cordele,
in order to make n better connec-
ton and more timely arrival, and
were greeted by a large reception
committee and dispersed to onr
several places of entertainment.
Previous to our going, Mrs. Mercer
and / had each received an official
or a personal invitation from Mrs
Frank Roberts (sister of our farm.
cr townsman Sam Jones) and presi-
dent of the Wymodausis Club in
which she stated who the the host
ess of each would be and this plan
simplified the placing of the guests
as we arrived. Mrs. Mercer was
fortunate in being taken to the
home of Mrs. Crawford, whom we
all admire very much. Mrs. Green
went to her uncle's Col. Jenkins.
Ny hostess was Mrs. Albert Con.
verse who has young babe, so she
took one to the Valdes Hotel,
where there were other delegates and
club visitors so that found very
pleasant company at once One
of these was Mrs. Harper of Elber-
ton, who succeeded in obtaining
the convention for her town next
year, and you will be interested to
know how she was enabled to do it.
In the first place they have in Elber'
ton one Of the Oldest clubs in the
state, The Lorosis, organized in '92
and federated in 1913; fifteen years
you see.
They wrote to the N. Y. Lorosis
for the permission to use that name.
Twice before this they have in
vited the Federation to Elberton
but were unsuccessful because they
were SO far North, but that point
proved in their favor this time be-
cause the North Ga clubs were
conspicuously absent the distance
and expense having been made so
great for them these last few years
when the Federation has been at
Macon, Columbus, Triton, and
Valdosta. Now this year Elberton
comes with two new clubs The Re-
search Club and Civic Club num-
bering in all about 125 members,
aud they determined to win their
point. Six weeks before the con-
vention they sent formal invita-
ton to the president, and in addit-
ioR to the jealous canvassing OF
their delegate, the greatest press
ure was made in their favor when
three kilograms were delivered to
and permission granted to read
them from the floor invitations
from the mayor, the King or Elks
and the Civic Club so very cordial
that it must have had considerable
might, even had it not seemed
the fair thing to everybody
(but me of course) that the Con-

Report of Delegates
At Va|d0Sta.,
To Local Club Of American Women.

vention ought to 60 to the northern
part of the state.
The president had asked that
invitations should be written anC
sent in thro a committee or invi
attions. There were but the two
Elberton's and ours { they say last
year Valdosta's was the only one.
When the Elberton lady made
her invitation from the floor they
kindly allowed me the same priv
ilege and while ittook me unaware,
it was gratifying that they gave
me the same applause while [ was
proceeding with my few remarks
and indeed the greatest cordiality
was shown in every way. Many
said to me that if we will but. re-
peat the invitation next year they
will be most happy to accept, for
South Georgia has won their hearts
in it's cordial treatment, it's lavish
hospitality.
There are 5000 club women in
Georgia, but there were at this
convention the small number of
go delegates. I noted at the same
time the Alabama Federation were
Entertaining 500 delegates in Mont
gromery.
Twenty new clubs have been
added during the year and will
doubtless increase the delegation
of next year. The Wymodausis
Club of Valdosta has a unique name
coined for its own use-it is the
abbreviation of the words-wives,
mothers, daughters, sisters. They
have a large club, near about Is at
present; I believe. There were
a number Of charming young girls
the daughters I judge who were
most active in attention to the
delegates at the sessions. The con-
vention was coducted in the school
auditorium-a most convenience
and suitable place. Ihave attend
ed mauy state educational associa.
tions but / have never seen so pleas
ing welcome program as the one
as they gave us at the opening
session Tuesday morning. The ad-
dresses were from the Mayor (the
very best I ever heard from may
or the superintendent of schools
the w. G. T. U. and the U. D.
G. and the Wymodausis Club.
These addresses were not a few
common places and plstitudes, bnt
each was a special message to i'm
press the hearers. Each one had
been carefully written, committed
and delivered with a care that was
in itself a tribute to the audiences
that would be assembled to heal
them. There was nothing haphaz-
ard or imprompter careless or in
adequate from the beginning tt
the ending of this assembly. Every
paper showed careful study, every
report Of department and pommittt
