SAVE TALLULAH, SAYS
MRS. LONGSTREET
Continues to Make Patriotic
and Eloquent Appeals to
All Georgians.
Nearly 3,000,000 of Georgians
have already issued the chalenge
to battle.
Our proud old commonwealth
is today clad in the armor of war.
Thers is one sentiment—one
prayer—one battle cry—going up 1
from the great heart of Georgia:
“Save Tallulah!”
Within sight of the mountains
from whose shadows I write flow
the golden waters which inspired
Lanier’s “Song of the Chattahoo
chee,” while another minstrel
voice has sung:
“The red old hills of Georgia-”
And the fairest spot on these
eternal hills is Tallulah, on the
granite rocks of Rabun.
The knights of the round table
never buckled on armor in a more
chivalrous cause than the millions
of Georgians who challenge an
iniquitous water power trust, the
Georgia Railway and Power com
pany, to mortal combat over Tal
lulah Falls.
Tallulah’s sky is an inverted
chalice of gold.
Every tree on Tallulah’s hill
sides is choir loft of music.
Every stretch of Tallulah’s
landscape is a garden of incense.
More weary of wing than
Noah’s dove when it fluttered
back to the windows of the ark,
would be the bird today, which
would seek to find in either hem
isphere of the globe a fairer spot
than Tallulah.
This majestic waterfall vies in
beauty with the far-famed cata
ract of the Niagara.
There is nothing to equal it in
the snow white chain of the gi eat
Rockies.
Travelers who have explored
the Alps and the Andes—who
have penetrated into Asia and as
far distant as the Hymalayas—
and who have stood beyond the
Pyramids of Egypt and the cata
racts of the Nile, have found no
thing as fair as Tallulah, in the
mountains of Dixie.
In an evil hour this Kohinoor,
this crown jewel in the diadem
of our mountain scenery, has
been seized, in defiance of law,
by the Georgia Railway and Pow
er company, and we are threat
ened with the loss of this price
less heirloom which has come
down to us from the immemorial
ages.
We are completing an alpha
betical list of the membership of
the Tallulah Falls Conservation
association and it will number
more than 20,000,000 of Ameri
cans in every state and territory,
more than a million and a half of
whom dwell within the borders
of Georgia. We put C. Elmer
Smith and his associates on no
tice that they face Anglo-Saxons
who know how to fight. They
have come into our state to con
summate desecration at which
the vandals of Italy would have
hesitated. They have invaded
Georgia to take from Georgians
their fairest inheritance. The
integrity and the courage of
nearly 3,000,000 of Georgians is
pledged to drive them beyond the
borders of this proudest among
the southern sisterhood of states,
and peace will never be declared
until this has been accomplished.
John R. Cooper Enters Con
test for Congress.

R. Cooper, of Macon, has made
his formal announcement for

sional district against Hon. C. L.

vor of his candidacy at the noon
recess of the superior court.

FIGHT FOR BI ENNIAL
LEGISLATIVE TERMS
To Be Waged with Force
During the Next Term
of Legislature.
Atlanta, Feb. 22.—From pure
ly practical and economic stand
points, a hard fight will be made
in the legislature this summer for
: bi-ennial sessions.
Advocates of the liberal idea
will put forth one argument and
will stick to it, calling on the
people of the state to back them
up, and express to their repre
sentatives their desire on the
subject.
Bi-ennial sessions, it will be
argued, will save the people of
Georgia between $35,000 and
$40,000 at least every year. On
this ground the fight will be
made.
The legislators who want bi
ennial sessions are in the minori
ty now. They cannot win unless
they get the help of the public,
for most of the senators and leg
islators want to come to Atlanta
at the state’s expense just as of
ten as they can, and will keep on
coming until their own constitu
ents make it plain to them that
once every two years is often
enough.
J. I. CALHOUN.
We are caused to sorrow be
cause of our inestimable loss, in
the death of our much esteemed
brother, J. I Calhoun, who died
Dec. 17, 1911. Brother Calhoun
identified himself with the church
over fifty years ago and for more
than half a century has mani
fested such an interest in the
welfare of the church that to say
we miss him but faintly ex
presses our feeling of unspeaka
ble loss. By his faithful attend
ance, generous support and noble
character, he endeared himself
to us and, in fact, to all who
were fortunate enough to know
him. He served our church as
deacon since its organization.
Brother Calhoun loved his church
and gave it a great place in his
life. He loved his Lord and we
are sure that the faithfulness,
liberality and devotion which he
always manifested were prompt
ed by that love. We must meek
ly bow in humble submission to
the will of Him Who doeth all
things well, for we know that
all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them
who are called according to his
purpose.
Therefore, be it resolved —
1. That in the death of Bro.
Calhoun the Tarrytown Baptist
church sustains the loss of one of
its most faithful and consecrated
members.
2. That the bereaved family
has suffered the loss of a true
and devoted father. The com
munity has lost one of its most
splendid citizens and neighbors.
3. That we bow in humble
resignation to the divine will of
our Heavenly Father in taking
from us our much esteemed and
dearly beloved brother, remem
bering that our loss is his eternal
gain.
4. That we extend to the be
reaved family our deepest sym
pathy and pray God’s blessings
to attend them in this their sor
rowing hour.
5. That a copy of these reso
lutions be spread upon the church
record, that a copy be presented
to each of the surviving children
and be printed in the Montgom
ery Monitor and Christian Index.
Respectfully submitted.

Nervous
Prostration
For Three Years
“Dr. Miles’ Restorative Nerv
ine cured me of a period of
nervous prostration of over three
years duration, and the Anti-
Pain Pills are as necessary to
us as the roof of our house.
They have been household rem
edies with us for many years.”
WM. J. LOUGIIRAN,
1214 Catherine St.,
Philadelphia, Penna.
Much sickness is due to nerv
ous troubles. Headache, diz
ziness, epilepsy and insanity are
nervous troubles. Then there
is a large class of disorders
which arise from a weakness of
the nerves of an organ or part,
as weak lungs, heart, stomach,
kidney, bladder, eyes, etc.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are
usually the result of nervous
disorders.
Restorative Nervine
soothes the irritated nerves, and
assists the nerve cells to gener
ate nerve force.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine Is sold by all drug
gists. If the first bottle falls to benefit,
your druggist will return your money.
