DISTRICT BOARD WILL EXEMPT
MARRIED MEN.

Chairman S. D. Harris of the Dis
trict Exemption Board last night
stated that it will be the policy of the
board to grant exemption to married
men in cases where the proper affi
davits have been fixed by the man
himself, his wife, and a householder
these affidavits stating that the cou-
pie are living together, that the wife
has no independent income and has
been supported by her husband. Ques.
toned as to the status of a man
whose relatives are able to care for
the wife, or whose wife's relatives are
able to care for her, Mr. Harris said
that the three affidavits filed by the
man, his wife and a householder,
would carry more weight with the
board than affidavits filed by tom,
Dick and Harry" Should the rela.
tives of the man, or his wife's rel
atives, file affidavits that they are
willing to care for her, Mr.. Harris

grounds for refusing exemption.
The policy outlined by Mr.. Harris
means that practically every married
man, unless he is independently veal
thy, can secure exemption. Although
a man may be drafted if his relatives
file an affidavit that they are able
and willing to care for his wife, it
is generally conceded that few rel
atives would take this responsibility
upon themselves. as in most cases it
would precipitate a family row.
Mr. Harris stated that the district
board has not formulated the policy
that will be followed with regard to
exemptions claimed on the ground of
dependent relatives other than wife
or child.-Tampa Tribune

talk in the court house Monday night
on the splendid work Of this Organiza.
tion, its objects and it's accomplish
ments.
Miss Rich is a most fluent and ami.
mated talker, and as her very soul
is in the work, she is as enthusiastic
as she is eloquent.
The distinguished lady was intro
duced very graciously by Mayor
Chace, and she began her interesting
remarks by complimenting the Red
Cross organization of this county for
its splendid work and its harmonious
cooperation.
She said it had the largest member
ship of any of the interior cities and
its membership had worried in beauti
full harmony.
We were told that there are now
seventeen counties embodied in the
northern jurisdiction and it was as
certained that better results could be
obtained by organizing counties and
chapters than by each community
working in separate branches.
Miss Rich told US that in June
there were only two hundred and
seventy-five thousand members OF the
| Red Cross in the United States.
! In August it was reported to have
membership Of over three and
I half millions 1t is ambitious TO ex

number belongs to the northern juris-
diction and Marion county has the
largest membership of any interior
county in this district.
She said that after the organization
of the branches into a chapter that
the logical place for the headquarters
of course. ought to be the place with
the largest membership. We were
told that Red Cross jam kitchens for
the purpose of supplying hospital
patients with these CONNECTIONS are
being organized in many states and
she hoped that the Marion county
chapter would follow this example
Miss Rich said that all shipping
for the Red Cross in Europe must be
made through the Red Cross channels
in this country in order to facilitate
the delivery of the same That At
lanta is the headquarters for our juris-
diction and is now ready to receive
shipments in any quantity and that
the Marion county chapter can ship
any articles in quantities as fast as
they are completed She advised
shipping in the regulation boxes.
The object OF Miss Rich's visit to
Ocala was to organize the various
branches into one chapter and for
this purpose Mr. w. T. Gary offered
the following resolution. which was
unanimously adopted:
Moved to petition to form the Mari
on County Chapter of the American
Red Cross with headquarters at Ocala.
That for purposes Of organization, the
officers and committees of the OcaIa
branch of the North Florida Chapter
of the American Red Cross shall as
sumo their respective offices and du-
ties in the Marion County Chapter
until the annual election to be held
at meeting in Ocala on Oct. 10th. at
7:30 p. m, and that the chairman
of the Chapter shall appoint a COM
mittee of on nominations to report
at that meeting
Mr.. L. r. ChaZal after the adoption
of the above resolution assumed the
chair and briefly extended his appre-
citation of the compliment paid him in
naming him as the temporary head
of the organization.
Mr.. Chazal then named the follow.

the permanent organization to be held
in Ocala on October tenth, viz: d. E.
McIver, T. T. Munroe, j. w. Davis
and w. H. Henry
Mr.. J. H. Taylor moved that all
branches and auxiliaries in the county
have a member on the executive
board. This resolution was also
adopted and received the
approval of Miss Rich.
which she said indicated the har-
mOnious feeling among the members
of the Red Cross societies in Marion
county.
Mr.. W. T. Gary moved that a vote
of thanks be extended to Miss Rich
for her very splendid and intelligent
address after which the meeting adj
journed.
Mr.. Charles Rheinauer and Mrs. w.

Camp Gordon, nine and One-half
miles north of Atlanta, near pic
turesque Silver Lake will be the
! third National army cantonment in
the southeast. Here will be trained
the men drawn by selective conscrip-
ton from Georgia, Alabama and Flor
ida. The camp occupies 1,168 acres
of gently rolling land and two small
streams traverse the site Part of
the reservation still is under cultiva-
tiOn and a portion of it is wooded.
The city of Atlanta will furnish a
water supply of about 100000 gal
Ions daily from its pumping station,
and the city has spent 100000 in
running water mains to the camp.
The buildings are similar to those
erected at Camp Lee and accOmmoda-
tions have been provided for about
the number of men. The camp is
situated more than three miles dis
tant from the end of the nearest street
car line running to Atlanta. A single
track extension is being constructed
by, the street railway company and
until this is finished the only rail
connection between Camp Gordon and
Atlanta will be provided by the South
ern Railway, which expects to oper-
ate a shuttle train service. The city
is making good its promise for good
roads between Atlanta and the camp,
however and the latter will be of
easy access by automobile.

VOLUME 81, NUMBER SO
GOVERNOR CATS VISIT TO
OCALA

AS far as we can gather the visit
of Governor Cats to Ocala was to in
vestgate the conduct of the Girls In
dustrial School
Our information is that the charges
against Mrs Range, its excellent mat
ron, vanished into thin air and she
was fully sustained in her manage
ment of the school and her methods
of discipline.
We understand that the governor
was so well pleased that he has prom
ised to equip the institution with a
piano and other furnishings.
On Friday Comptroller Amos visited
the school and was likewise delighted
with Mrs. Ranges management.
Sheriff Galloway was before the
governor and was interrogated in the
matter of the charges against his
deputy, Mr.. Osten.
The conference ended by the GOV
ernor promising to furnish the sher'
iff with a copy of the charges and
the affidavit accompanying them.
Mr.. Galloway readily consented to
discharge Osteen if the charges were
sufficiently grave and were made by
reputable citizens.
While in the city Governor Cats
did not pay his respects to the local
newspapers nor were they invited to
meet his excellency.

bomb. One of the machines got into
trouble before it crossed our lines and
had to descend. We saw there was
no damage. The airplane volplaned
gently to earth. Just a cast of en-

were subjected to a pretty hot fire
