REPRESENTATIVE PLANS
TO RENAME DISTRICTS
Two Tenths and Ninth Now Cause
Confusion in Titles
Hon. N. A. Bradford, representative
from this county, has under consider
ation the advisability of offering a
bill at the next session of the general
assembly, having for its object a
changing of the names of Upper 10th,
Lower 10th and Ninth districts of this
county to Conasauga, Coahulla and
Cherokee districts, hoping thereby to
eliminate the confusion of the militia
districts with the land districts.
Before offering the hill Mr. Brad
ford will confer with the citizens of
these districts and ■will respect their
wishes. In the meantime, he invites
suggestions from them as to the pro
posed change.
The two Tenths are partly in the
10th and 11th land districts and the
Ninth is partly in the Oth, 10th, 11th
and 12th land districts, and more or
less confusion arises in abstracting
titles.
The suggested names are of Indian
origin and are considered appropriate.
If interested, write Mr. Bradford.

Northern lights seen
BY PEOPLE OF DALTON
Crowd Estimated at One Thousand
Went Through Building—People
and Organizations Ask Priv
ilege of Furnishing Wards
Probably one thousand people on
last Thursday “inspected” the Ham
ilton Memorial Hospital building, and
the unanimous verdict was that the
building committee was to be commend
ed and commended highly on what had
been accomplished.
The reception hall was decorated in
quantities of flowery. On the mantel
was a photograph of the late lamented
Mr. G. W. Hamilton in whose rnemory
the handsome hospital was built.
The Lesche club had charge of show
ing the people through the hospital.
A book was kept and in it G03 people
registered; but there were hundreds
who did not. It was a fine chance for
the people to see and have explained to
them every feature of the hospital, and
many took advantage of it.
The building, which is of hollow tile
and stucco constructioin. covers al
most the entire lot, extending from
Cleveland to I’entz street, and facing
on Waugh street. It is two stories in
height, and has a large basement.
When completely furnished, it will
have an equipment of 42 beds—ample,
if is believed, for years to come. In
the building are 1!> wards, together
with operating room, reception hall,
office; kitchen, etc. The floors are of
hard-wood, highly polished; and the
building is handsomely finished within
and without
Councilman Dave Stewart, from the
Eighth ward, was Tuesday morning
given until June 4 to get from the
federal court a correction of an order
passed by that court cancelling his
citizenship papers—this being the ac
tion taken by Judge M. C. Tarver Tues
day morning when an effort was made
to oust Councilman Stewart from his
seat on city council.
The action to unseat Councilman
Stewart was brought by R. L. Bates,
police chief; J. H. Robinson, former
mayor, and George King, former coun
cilman from the Eighth ward, through
their attorney, W. E. Mann. Their
petition alleged that Mr. Stewart was
not a citizen of the United States, and
that Be was not, therefore, qualified
as a member of city council.
Mr. -Stewart, in the hearing -before
Judge Tarver, submitted his natural
ization papers, and to offset this, Col.
Mann presented a copy of the federal
court records showing that after the
naturalization papers were issued, an
other order was passed on November
20, 1916, revoking and cancelling the
papers.
Mr. Stewart stated to the court that
he had no knowledge of this order,
and the court gave him until June 4
to present the matter to the federal
court and get action.
W. M. Sapp, who assisted Mr. Stew
art in getting his papers, made a state
ment to the court that the proof of
Mr. Stewart’s application for citizen
ship was made by Mr. J. C. Sapp, now
deceased, and Mr. J. H. Gilbert. In
one place on the papers, Mr. Gilbert
failed to sign, and it was on this tech
nicality, according td Mr. Sapp, that
the confusion arose.
On June 4, the matter will again
come before Judge Tarver for settle
ment.

DR. GEORGE YARBROUGH
AT HAMILTON STREET
Dr. George Yarbrough will conduct
the Sunday morning services at 11
o’clock at Hamilton Street Methodist
church. The public is cordially invited
to attend.
The series of services held at the
First Methodist church closed with the
meeting of Sunday night, and as a
result of the meeting, much good was
accomplished.
Rev. H. C. Emory, the church's
popular pastor, conducted the services
with the able assistance of Dick Boyd
and F. W. Twilley, who had charge
of the music.
The closing day of the meeting
brought three excellent services; at 11
o'clock; at 3 o'clock in the afternoon
when Mr. Boyd preached to the chil
dren, and at 7:4o o’clock Sunday even-
when Rev. Mr. Emory delivered
the closing sermon.
,4s a result of tlje meeting, fourteen
were admitted to membership in the
church Sunday.
The meeting was devoid of sensa
tionalism ; but the crowds attending
were large, and there was an earnest
ness shown that argues well for the
church’s future.
Those attending the meeting are
unanimous in the belief that the re
vival was decidedly the best held here
in a long time. It put the people to
thinking along better lines, and in
spired in hundreds a determination to
live cleaner, nobler lives. It stimulat
ed members of the church to greater
efforts for the future, resulting, there
by, in good for the city as a whole.
The preaching of Rev. Mr. Emory
was forceful and convincing, the mus
ic was inspiring and ennobling. On
the whole, the meeting was one the
best ever held here, the good effects of
which will be felt for years to come.
Sisk Will Contest
Action Ousting Him
From the Tax Board
Insists He is Freeholder and Su
perior Court Alone Has Juris
diction in Matter
G. AV. Sisk, who was held disqualified
by the county board as a member of
the board of tax equalizers, and whose
place on the hoard was filled by the
election of George Dantzler, will con
test the action of the hoard. Mr. Sisk
came to Dalton Monday for the pur
pose of serving on the board; but on
the suggestion of Judge Tarver that
his service might result in mnch petty
litigation on the part of tax payers,
he decided to remain off the board un
til the matter could be definitely set
tled. Judge Tarver further suggested
that Mr. DantzTer take no .part in the
board’s work until final action was
taken.
The board, looking over Mr. Sisk’s
tax returns, held that by reason of
the fact that his tax sheet didn’t show
where he had returned any real estate,
he was not a free holder and was dis
qualified to serve on the board of
equalizers. They held* that by reason
of this, his seat on the board automat
ically became vacant, and the law gave
the board the right to fill the vacancy.
Mr. Sisk gave in real estate when he
was elected on the board, and he in
sists that he is still a free-bolder,
having a third interest in a farm which
is given in by his son and on which
he pays one-third of the taxes, the
property merely being given in by his
son until the land lines can be de
fined. He holds further that the law
makes it necessary in order to remove
man from the board for ten land
owners to file a petition in superior
court, the court to say as to whether
or not the man shall be removed. He
insists that the hoard exceeded its
authority in removing him, the limit
of the board’s authority being to fill
a vacancy on the board.
Mr. Sisk states that he can prove
ownership of real estate, and that the
board had no right to remove him.
Saturday the board met, and refused
to change the action of the meeting on
the first Tuesday when the vacancy
was declared.

WORK ON DIXIE HIGHWAY WILL BE STARTED
SOON BY STATE HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT
Work on rebuilding the Dixie High
way from Dalton to the Catoosa coun
ty line, the bulk of the expense to be*
paid by the state, will be started with
in a few days, according to a state
ment made by a representative of the
State Highway department to Judge
H. J. Wood, ordinary, Tuesday.
The engineer was here for the pur
pose of finding out what road mach
inery the county could lend the depart
ment. for the work.
Last week, County Commissioners
Bowman and Warmack, while in At

Additional Work Passed Up By City
Council—Sewer Extensions to
Be |Investigated—Kenner Is
Sidewalk Committee
Additional sidewalk construction
was mapped out at the meeting of city
council Monday night, the new streets
designated for the permanent side
walks being Morris street, from Hen
derson street on the north side to
Fourth avenue, and from Fourth ave
nue on the south side to Fifth avenue;
North Depot street on the west side
from Long to Tyler street.
Council voted to postpone the city’s
work of putting in street crossings
until the road to the Mineral Springs
chert bed could be completed so the
street force could get the gravel for
the concrete work. It was also voted
to have the street force hereafter put
in all street crossings.
In discussing this, the sidewalk com
mittee came in for “investigation,
and it was seen that Councilman Ken
ner, chairman, had functioned as the
committee as a whole. He was com
mended for the fine work done, but
several of the councilmen intimated
that- he had done too much, and
thought he should have consulted at
least one of the other two members.
Mr. Kenner insisted that as chairman
he had “power to act.”
Sewer Work.
A committee, composed of Council-
men Kettles, Stewart and Kenner, was
appointed to investigate the cost and
advisability of extending the sewerage
lines on Green street north from Mor
ris street, and on West Morris street
east from Thornton avenue. The com
mittee will report back to city council.
The railroads were given 30 days
additional time on the question of a
watchman for Emery street.
The request of th| Maples Memorial
Restroom that the* city continue to
give $5 monthly toward the mainten
ance of the restroom was referred to
a committee composed of Councilmen
Caylor, Percy and Kettles.
Council rescinded its action relative
to the sidewalk construction on the
Gordon street bridge hill, a tarvia
street being suggested in place of the
sidewalk.
Council voted to purchase a car
load of sewerpipe.
Twenty-two will graduate from the
Dalton High school this year, the grad
