tution.
The tract overlooks the old site of
the once “‘Terrible Tallulah Falls tern-,
peSta.”
The press gang spent a day at Tal
lulah, visiting the Mountain Industrial
school operated by the Women’s Fed
eration of the state, the immense Y.
M. C. A. camps near the falls, the
'power houses and the . dams at the
(falls and at Tugalo. The letter gi
gantic dam is in the midst of con,
Btruction.
In all the company will have seven
of these immense dams, the smaller
giving 118,000 horsepower, when the
present projects totaling fbo.ooo.ooti
are completed. The other extensions
are planned.
In an address President Arkwright
said that the company will develop
first the boundary rivers and will

£)l their millions of power into Geor
gia alone.

most part Ib being done by Georgians,
the enginoers and superintendents
coming from A Georg|a Tpdh and /other
Georgia schools. President Atkinson/
,of the board of directors, declared
that his'object' is eventually to place
lighting and power current on every
*rarm of Georgia. s
The delegation of editors, more than
200 strong, made trips on the wind-

casion took them to Shepherd camp
for a great feast, then nine miles on
the company’s railroad to Tugalo
Junction where six Pullman coaches
awaited them for the trip to Atlanta
and then over the state home.
The convention has been, in many
ways, the best ever held; in attend
ance, the largest; in every way as
fine and satisfactory as any. The.
new president, U. Ul .Rountree, ot
Wrightsyille, will soon announce his
coinmittees for the year and the die-'

Greece. Roumania and Turkey.

tions, led by Ismet Pasha, had affix
ed their signatures, President Schu-
ref, of the Swiss confederation, de
clared the session adjourned, with
the admonition: \
“Let the closing thought be a bene
diction.”
An impressive demonstration ac
claiming the signing of peace occur
red in Lausanne. f The streets were
crowded with rejoicing multitudes,
many coming from the country dis
tricts to take part.
The tower and spire of the cathe
dral, which dominates the city, were
aglow with electric designs, visible
for miles on both sides of the lake,
while searchlights played across from
the surrounding hills.
The British delegation .have left
for home; the others will go soon,
leaving only the -'Americans and
Turks, who are still engaged in nego
tiations over the Turco-American
treaty.

All foreign troops will he with
drawn.

Greece and Turkey.

in a resolution unanimously adopted
at a joint mooting of both houses of

of Samar making an inspection of the
health conditions.
The Philippines Independence com
mission, composed of the majority ot 1
legislators of the Philippine house and
senate, passed a . resolution demanding
the recall of Gov. Uen. Leonard H.
Wood.

stitution of Wood by a man who;
would ’’maintain respect for our law
and correctly Interpret the spirit ot
the Jones law, guaranteeing the great
est possible autonomy.

Philippines was recommended as the
best solution of the problem confront-
ing the isl$id’s government in another,
resolution passed by the commission.

growing in seriousness.

as China vainly sought to accomplish
for itself at Washington and which
Japan achieved only after two dec
ades of struggle

fish maddened by a lance by Royce
Amman, sent row boats and fishermen
scampering to all parts of Montauk
by one afternoon recently. Amman
spied the monster when he was with
in three hundred yards of the shore.
Cutting half the bottom of his boal
away in retaliation for the lance, the
huge fish ignored the crew it had
sent floundering into the water and
rushed around seeking more boats to
scuttle. Finally the monster was sub
dued and captured.
