DALTON. Ga.. June 19.—The general topic for discussion on the streets here today Is ths approaching visit of several capitalists who are, interested in ths con struction of a standard gauge steam rail road from Dalton to Murray county points over the old grade of the D. & A. railroad, which project was abandoned before completion. These capitalists will arrive here either Tuesday or Wednesday of this week, and, accompanied by an engineer, will go over the already graded roadbed which will be turned over to them free provided they decide to construct the new railroad. On the trip they will ascertain what business I they could safety count on and after thor ! oughly considering the matter will decide ■ whether or not they will undertake It. Several years ago the Dalton and Ala culsey railroad was launched by a party of northern capitalists interested in the timber on the Cohutta mountains. The , road was to run from the lumber camp ' through Murray county and have its ter ' minus at Dalton. Work was started and after the proposed road had been graded I and hundreds of ties laid work was stopped. This grade is now in fairly good condition and at small expense could be i put in first class shape. The grade which will be given the promoters of the new road represents fully >60,000 worth of work. The people of Murray county are en thusiastic over the building of the road which would traverse a rich farming ter ritory untouched'by a railway; and the road would, it Is believed, be a paying I proposition. farmerFto plan GREAT CAMPAIGN TO AID THE SOUTH _____ (Continued from Page One.) President Cabaniss has made one of the best officials me Georgia division has ever had. at the same time, it is one of the by-laws of the union’s constitution that a state official cannot be president of the union. The retirement of President Cabanlss will come as a source of great regret to the yank and file of the union and the reason of his resignation trill be recog nised by all. It was for the purpose of carrying out ' this provision of the constitution that the union met nearly a month eartier this year. The annual conventions are usually held in July, but the conven tion was called this year so that a suc cessor might be named to President Caba nlss before he began his legislative du ties. But the convention will have many other Important matters before it. It Is expected that the meeting will see the inauguration of a number of cam paigns that will result In the greatest good, not only for the farmers, but for the people of the south as well. ’ The first day will be devoted to. general organization, with the reports of com mittees and the appointments of others. The. j convention will probbaly settle dowa< to its more important business on Wednesday. IMPORTANT QUESTIONS. Among the questions of vital Interest that wiU. be taken up will be the follow ing: More perfect plans for the marketing of the cotton crop in Georgia. The growing of home supplies for the firmer The use of more scientific methods in fanning. The development of the live stock in dustry. The preparation of soils and farm lands. The use of more improved farming im plements. Much attention will be paid to the plans for more perfect market conditions. It is claimed by many that there is too much difference between the time of pro duction and the time the product reaches the consumer. It Js Intended in the future to reduce all unnecessary delays in shipments and marketing. Plans will be made by which the crop can be marketed more regularly, so that the market will neither be stagnated nor the crop be deteriorated. Therk will be no war upon the middleman, but It will be simply a question of aiding all par ties concerned. It is understood that the union ha 8 received offers of co-operation from the business world, and that the union believes the time is now ripe for such a movement. The encouragement of the manufacture of home products will also be carefully gone over. Recent statistics show that the farmer of the south is annually sending away millions of dollars more than he makes off of his cotton for sup plies and products i that he could raise at home. Efforts will be made to have the farmer patronize home industry more and keep his money near at home. The use of more scientific farming will also be an Important question to be taken up. This will include the rais ing of live stock at home, that the farmer now goes Into other fields for. In all, it Is expected that the conven tion will be the most important held in many years. The following are the officers of the Georgia division: E. Cabaniss. president. Union City, Ga. W L- Peek.< vice president, Conyers, Ga. John T. McDaniel, secretary-treasurer. Union City, Ga. J. G.

WOOL TIFF MH HOLDS CENTER OF STAGE Very Little of Interest Before Either Branch of Congress Saturday WASHINGTON,June 17.—With a view to clearing the atmosphere of speeches on the wool tariff revision bill, the house today resumed general rebate on the measure with the probability that an other night session would be held. While the house is facing the problem of shutting off eager orators, the sen ate wgs forced to remain . Idle today because senators had not \ prepared sjw»ches on the Canadian reciprocity bill. This condition will be remedied Monday, however, for’ a half dozen speeches, practically all against the agreement, are in course of preparation and some senators even will devote sev eral hours tomorrow to rounding off periods and polishing the rough places Jn their arguments. There were no committees of impor tance in session todgy at either end of the capitol, the house committees in vestigating the two great Industries of steel and sugar having adjourned until Monday. GEORGIA SCHOOLS IN ANNUAL REPORT (Continued from Page One.) —-——— aries: “In view of the Importance of their work, the teachers are not sufficiently well paid, but there Is, nevertheless, gradual improvement.” EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. Detailing the educational needs in Georgia, hp says: “The first of these in my julgment is the harm resulting from the lack of promptness In paying the salaries of the majority of the teachers of the state. The Injury is felt primarily by the ru ral teachers. By May of this year the state was able to pay only one-tenth of the sum appropriated for 1911. In most counties six-tenths of the school term was completed during this period. For the work already dorie, therefore, it will be seen that the teach ers must suffer the loss In interest where the county boards borrowed funds, discount their salaries where this plan was not fo-iowed, or wait six or elg. months until the fall taxes are received This delay is caused by the fact that other departments are given precedence, and will continue just as long as the legislature permits t|tis discrimination.” He suggests the following “It would seem, however, that the state should adopt the usual business method of meeting obligations monthly. If this simple plan is pursued with im partial justice, beginning at the first of next year, I am informed by the treas ury officials that all debts can be paid promptly and with no more borrowing than at present”' He deplores the popular election of county school commissioners: “Instead of dragging the head of tne county schools into politics as was done through the recent law requiring the election of county school commission vers by popular vote, the child in tne country has all along needed Just one thing—the right to get the best county school superintendent possible from any source whatever. “There should be a county board of education elected by the people or ap pointed by the state board of education on recommendation-. This board should elect the county superintendent Just as is now done by the cities from the best material available. The minimum sal ary should be >1,209 In all except a few smaller counties an<l the entire time of this official should be devdted to the supervision and direction of the schools. This plan could be made effective upon the expiration of the term of ottice for which the present school commissioners were recently elected." In regard to teachers’ institutes ne says: IT “While these meetings have been pro ductive of good, the" time has come for a change in their management and oper ation. Give the department of education three teacher-raining supervisors and tills institute work can oe done with lit tle, if any more expense than at pres ent.” EXAMS OUT OF DATE. ; He says of certification: “The present method of examining and licensing teachers was perhaps adequate 30 years ago. Today this is by no means the case. Besides the elementary and temporary county certificates at present granted, a professional certificate higher in rank should be possible for those who pass a creditable examination in high school studies.’’ He says of consolidation 1 "A recent deci*!6n of the supreme court expresses the opinion that the county school districts under our laws ‘have the element of permanency.’ The effect .of the decision is to hinder and prevent the consolidation of weak, one room buildings into ztrong central schools. Give two-thirds or even a ma jority of the patrons affected the right at any time to consolidate weak schools and to provide transportation when nec essary?” / He says of the state board of educa tion: “For three years the educational organ izations of the state have asked for an increase in the power and duties of the state board of education. This request will In all probability be presented to you again this year for your considers tion.” He then outlines the condition of the state boards of edupation in other states. , COMPULSORY EDUCATION. He says of compulsory education: “Until within recent years the educa tion of the' child has been considered as largely aGnatter dependent upon the in clination or whim of the parent. Public opinion has changed upon this question and we have come to believe that the safety as well as the prosperity of the state and nation require the proper train ing of the citizen and the banishment of illiteracy. “The figures of the census department show there are 86,000 illiterate children in Georgia. Every year there are 25,000 white children from 6 to 12 who attend no school. i "The state is not able to enforce a rigid compulsory law at the outset, perhaps, but >with proper discretionary power placed In the hands of the school offi cials such a measure, In the opinion of many, would mark a distinct step for ward in educational advancement. It it is not deemed wise to pass a state-wide law now, at least we should have the right to a local option measure through which communities and counties already prepared by public opinion could edu cate all their children. It is doubt ful, however, if this concession would be effective, for it would not for years reach the evil In Its worst form. It has been the tendency of illiteracy to perpetuate itself. These illiterates are the -children and grandchildren of illiterates and the strong arm of the state seems to be their only hope for relief. No matter how des perate our efforts, we shall never edu cate the children who are not in our schools.” He concludes his recommendations by a discussion of the county unit sys tem. "A defect in our Georgia schools,” he says, “not always clearly apprehended, but serlcus in its results, has been the Line of demarcation Increasing estab- HARDWICK PEREMPTORY WITH SUGAR WITNESSES Mighty Moguls of Trust Told to Come or They Will Be ‘ Brought (By Asiociated Brea*.) WASHINGTON, June 17.-Chairman Hardwick, of the house sugar investiga tion committee, is sending! tart replies to persons who seek to delay appearing be fore the committee in response to formal summons. The following telegram was sent to prospective witnesses: "You will please appear on the day designated or we will send an officer to bring you here and keep you until we want you.” Among the prominent sugar men asked to appear In the near future are Joseph F. Smith, of Utah, head of the Mormon church; John D. and Adolph Spreckles, of California; Chester S. Morey, of Col orado, and Thomas I?. Cutler, of Utah. LONG ISLAND TOWN TAPS MINERAL SPRINGS NEW YORK, June 19.-That section of Greater New York which was formerly the village of Whitestone, Long Island, has the opportunity now to become a health resort. Every resident can have a mineral spring In his own home by turn ing on the water spigot and his bath tub can be used for medicinal baths for lum bago and gout and other disorders. This condition of affairs has just been brought to light by a report made by the water commissioners, in reply to com plaints from Whitestone about the quali ty of the water. “We made an investigation to learn what was the cause of the trouble,” says the .'report, “p id found that our new wells have tapped a vein of mineral springs, the waters of which are highly charged with iron and other chemical properties. The waters are highly medic inal and valuable both for drinking and bathing. These same springs were tapped by a private concern some 30 year 8 ago and a pavilion was erected there to which people came from all over the country to treat gout, lumbago, rheumatism and other disorders." BRYAN GIVES PRAISE TO UNDERWOOD BILL LAURENS, S. C.. June 1».-Desplte the fact that he has criticised the Under wood bill as It applied to schedule K as a "compromise of Democratic prin ciples," William J. Bryan tonight ad mitted that it Is an Improvement over the present law. When asked to com ment on the Underwood measure, Mr. Bryan gave the following written reply: "Th® Underwood bill covering schedule K is a great improvement over the pres ent law and is much better than we could expect from a Republican congress, but It would have been still better If It had put wool on the free list and made a still greater reduction on woolens. MILLIONAIRfPLANF ■ LIFE LONG CRUISE NEW YORK, June 19.—James B. Ham mond, milionalre Inventor, hopes to es cape business cares for the remainder of his life by sailing from liere on July 1 on a cruise that is planned to last 28 years, or until he ig 100 years old. Despite his 7? years. Mr. Hammond vis its the ship yards dally and is personal ly in charge of the preparation for the trip which is to be made in a new yacht, the Lounger 11, which he designed Him self and intends to present after his death to the Smithsonian institution as a model of marine architecture. CASTRO MAY NOW BE IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, June 19.—Reports were current In the Spanish-American colony here today that Gen. Ciprianb Castro, deposed president of Venezuela, is In this city. There was no cohfirmation of the rumors but many well informed Latin- Amerlcans - ere inclined to credit them. The other deposed Central American presidents are already in New York. Es trado, of Nlcarauga, and Bonilla, of Honduras. Cornerstone Is Laid NEW ORLEANS, June 19.—Archbishop Blenk officiated yesterday afternoon at the laying of the cornerstone of the Louise C. Thomas memorial hall at Loyola college. The structure Is to b® three stories tn height and in keeping with other buildings on the campus. It will b® occupied by thb Loyola college faculty and priests of the parish. llshed between urban and rural schools. Following the example of the larger towns and cities, many districts with railroad crossings or corporations of some value have availed themselves of the privileges of the McMichael biy, fenced off the richest portion of the county, and voted additional school funds by taxation. This leads me to say that I am uncertain as to whether or not that part of tlrfe *McMichael bill referring to district taxation is good or evil in its effects. Any measure which hopelessly condemns the” larger and more helpless part of our citizenship to the cupidity and selfishness of the relatively powerful among our people should have no place among the laws of a state which bears the motto of justice on its shield. No division of city and county should ever have occur red. Instead, we should have made the county the unit in every instance just as is the case now with Bibb, Chatham, Glynn and Richmond. “Let us have legislation that will lead to the education of all our people by the county unit plan instead of encour aging the chaos that will > result from a thousand little dependent districts and another thousand condemned to hope-, less education poverty and inefficiency.” DISCOVERED REMEDY FOR ASTHMA AND HAY FEVER A Kansas Chemist Discovered a Simple Home Remedy for Asthma and Makes a Gen erous Offer Mr. D.

To teat it. he sent aOme to people who had been Buffering from Asthma for forty years, and to their delight they etale they were easily cured. Mr. Lane in to proud of his discovery and has so much confidence tn its ability to cure that he will send a 51.00 bottle by ex press to any one who will write him for it. His' offer is that he is to be paid for it if it cures, the one taking it la to be the Judge and report its effect within ten days after receipt of the remedy. • If you suffer from Asthma or Hay Fever, write for a bottle at once.

OLD KENTUCKY PIKE WILL BE CHRISTENED BY TAFT AS INTER-STATE HIGHWAY i— ' LOUISVILLE. Ky., June 19.-Gre*t im- i petus in activity for good roads in the south has been given by the people of Kentucky in the proposed reconstruction of the old Louisville and Nashville pike into what will be known as the Lincoln Way. President Taft will christen a part of the highway when he comes to the state for the ceremonies connected with the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial at Hodgenville in October. He will be taken from Louisville to the memorial site hi an automobile. Kentuckians have adopted a plan much like the Tennesseeans in their road work —doing 4t all at once.

June 19.- The peach crop in this section Has been materially hurt by rot. This will cut down the number of cars shipped from 'OO to 150 at Marshallville, and a corre sponding loss WiU be felt throughout the peach belt. The only remedies known thus far are spraying in the spring witn lime and sulphur and spraying later with arsenate of lead, after the fruit is well formed. Several prominent fruit men have tried arsenate of lead this year for the first time, with fine results, as It kills the curcujo that damages the young fruit. Next year many growers will adopt this plan to prevent the setting in of rot; just as the fight was success fully, made on the San Jose scale by spraying with lime and sulphur. HART COUNTY PLANS BIG WATER SURVEYS HARTWELL, Ga., June 19.—1 n orher to encourage the deveopment of water power the United States government will pay half the expenses of having surveys made.
