i-
Gainesville, Ga., Dec. 11.—Mrs. Helen
D. Longstreet, president of the Tallulah
Falls Conservation association, has Is
sued the following card to the publlc:
“ThOj attention of the people of Geor
gia Is called to tho fact that tho de
struction of Tallulah Falls, the Niagara
of the South, by a corporation which
has usurped the state's property In the
.work of. devastation, outrageous and
dastardly as it Is, pales Into Insignifi
cance. becomes as a rush light to,the
noon-day sun. compared with tho gi
gantic monopoly sought to be fixed
upon the people of northeast Georgia
by the Georgia Railway and Power
Company.
"With the colossal merger of seventy-
odd millions consummated, the corpora
tion win hold In tho hollow of Its hand
the light, the power to pull our trolleys,
electric heat for all purposes, even the
very water wo drink In all this 1 north
eastern section of our state. With such
monopoly declared on tho common
necessities In this age whose symbol Is
thu electric spark, northeast Georgia
will no longer bo a wholesome section
for the abiding place of tree people.
"The Aging of this seventy-odd mil
lion octopus on the commonwoalth of
Georgia, tho enormity of which almost
staggers the understanding, will mean
that the Georgia Railway and Power
.Company will hold the balance of pow
er In Georgia politics. They will place
their men on the bench, on the railroad
commission, In the state house offices
of Georgia. They will dominate the
Georgia legislature. And the proudest
among'the Southern sisterhood of
states will have passed under the yoke
of "big business." The sorfdom will
be transmitted to the children and tho
children’s children of tho present gen
oration. What right do wo have to
pass such a heritage to tho future?
“Oh. Georgians! Sons of what do-
serves the name of Southern Empire
state, what of your manhood, that
the exposure of this Iniquity Is left
to women. We have fallen upon the
evil days. In tho veins of tho men of
Georgia courses the blood of free men.
of patriots and heroes. They should
measure up to their Inheritance.

Washington, Dac. 11.—The place-and
date for holding tho national Republi
can convention will be determined upon
officially tomorrow at the meeting of
tho national Republican committee.
Presldbnt Taft's "love feast” dinner to
the committee members at tho white
house tonight was declared to bo a
"pulse feeler,” practically determining
what tho selection of tho committee
would be, but nothing could be learned
of the cholco excepting that Chicago
and St. Louis were well up to the fore
in the race.
It Is declared almost certain that tho
convention will go to the West, largely
because of the strong rivalry between
progressive and conservative wings of
tho party In that section, the belief be
ing that greater unity of action could be
secured as the result of the pacifying
Influence of giving tho convention to
the place where the fighting Is the hot
test.
Another Important question to be set
tied by tomorrow’s meeting Is that of
chairman of the national committee’.
Tb,- resignation of Postmaster General
Hitchcock ns national chairman will bo
acted upon, and If It Is accepted, as
seems certain, because ot his Insistence,
a successor will lmve to he ehnsen. In
this connection the names most promi
nently mentioned are those of John
Hayes Hammond, Customs Collector
William Loob, Charles D. Hillcs, pri
vate secretary to President Taft, and
former Governor Hill of Maine, who Is
now acting as temporary chairman. Tho
chairmanship of the national committee
will have no little effect on the relative
chances of President Taft and progres
slve rivals for the 1912 presidential
nomination.
Tho system ot selecting the delegates
for the national conventloh will bo
threshed out ot tho meeting. Accord
ing to thp method In vogue In tho past,
tho basis for delegates to tho convention
Is four at largo In each state and two
for each congressional district, besides
two special delegates from each terri
tory. Tho progressive wing, led by Sen
ator Jonathan Bourne, Jr„ president of
the National Progressive Republican
league, declare tho system Is, mlsropro-
sentatlve and that delegates, should be
apportioned according |to the number of
Republican votes cast Such a plan
would greatly reduoe the number of
delegates from thp Southern states,
where the Republican , vote Is small.
However. It Is declared likely that the
old system Is the one that will prevail,
the total number of delegates being In
creased from 980 at the last convention
to 1,072, because of the reapportionment
of congress, which Increases the size if
the house of representatives from 891 to
433 members. , '

Adjutant General Obear has an
nounced the Inspection dates for the
National Guard of Gcor^iA-Tor 1912.
Tho dates were submitted to the war
department weeks ago, but for some
reason nothing could be heard rela
tive to approvul of the same. Genera!
Obear finally wired to ascertain the
trouble, nnd was Informed that they
were approved early In November, but
the letter so stating evidently miscar
ried somewhere, for It never reached
the adjutant general’s office.
Inspection will begin In Gainesville
oh January - 16. and will wind up In At
lanta April 30. Major Frederick Pal
mer will do the inspecting for tho
slate as he has tor several years.
' For the regular army It Is probable
that tho officers on duty In the state
as Instructors now will serve. In that
event It will be Captain Amerlcus
Mitchell for the Infantry, Lieutenant
E. R. W. McCabe for the artillery, and
Lieutenant E. P. King, Jr., for thu ar
tillery.
