THE TRIBUTE TO GEN. WHEELER
Macon News
The War Department has paid
graceful tribute to one of the,
and bravest of the sons of

or of Gen. “Joe’’ Wheeler.
The authorities at * Washington,
having once decided to confer this
honor on a southern men, might have
searched the entire range of her he
rocs without having hit upon one who
was dearer to the people of this state.
The skill and daring of Wheeler 1
Cavalry, in the Confederate service,'
will syways rank with the most splen
did and fascinating achievements of
the war, for Wheeler was a born sol %
dier, with an initiative and enter
prise almost uncanny.
North and South alike concede
that he was a large if not controlling
factor in the success of the war in
Cuba. Though many years have
passed since his cavalry skirmishes
in the Civil War, his eye was not dilu

Utgt he has been called for service
has been mailed as required by sec
tion 15 hereof. ,
The local board designated in any
such ordep shall thereupon take and
have jurisdiction to" examine him
physically, and such local board and
the district hoard having jurisdic
tion shall take and have jurisdiction
to hear and determine claims by or
in respect of such person as though
bis registration card were in the pos
session of such designated board.
However, the local board so desig
nated and the district board having
jurisdiction shall consider at all
times such person as one who has
been called for service by the local
board having original jurisdiction,
and unless such* person is qxempted
or discharged, he shall be certified
to the adjutant general of the State,
Territory, or District, os the cose
may be, in Which he registered
one not exempted or^ discharged.
Thereupon the adjutant general shall
order him to report for military serv
ice at a specified time -and place 'to
be fixed pursuant to advices from
The Adjutant General of the Army,
and he shall be considered in all re
spects as having been certified as not
exempted or discharged by the dis
trict board having jurisdiction of the

possession of his registration card is
located.”
