Longstreet. leader nf the fight to conserve Tallulah Falls, said to day that only her death would prevent suit being brought to return Tallulah Falls to the people of Georgia.

Here is Mrs Longstreet’s statement. By HELEN D LONGSTREET President Tallulah Falls Conser vation Association. GAINESVILLE. GA., June 7. +*here is just one thing which will pplvent suit being brought to recover Tallulah falls, which are the property of the people of this state, and that one thing would he my death. The fact that corporation lawyers, dazzled by the glitter of corporation gold, have declared in favor of Elmer Smith and his vandals, while other law yers of equal ability and of known de votion to the highest standard of the legal profession have declared that the Georgia Railway anad Power Company Is merely a criminal trespasser on the hills of Rabun county, Georgia, serves only to establish that there are legal questions which can not be properly settled outside of a court of law. All that the Tallulah Falls Conserva tion association ever asked Governor Brown to do was to permit the asso ciation to furnish attorneys, without expense to the state, to bring suit In the name of the state. Will Take Stump Against Felder. Coincident with the announcement that the attorney general of Georgia had found in favor of the water power trust, the announcement was made that Mr. Felder would run for governor. ’ urged Mr. Felder to run for governor of this old state, and If tie does, 1 propose to get a leave of absence from the post office department and meet him on evert stump in Georgia, and when I get through with telling the people of hie vast unfitness there won't be cor poration gold enough to corral thirteen votes for him in the state primary. Rut Tallulah falls shall not be cru cified upon a cross of gold to satisfy the greed of interlopers who cumber the soil of Georgia. I commit myself to the task of driving off the deapoil er«. if God gives me length of days. They may build the dam miles high. 1 will tear it down piece by piece. Governor Brown's Decision As forecasted in The Georgian, Gov ernor Brown declined to bring suit to test the land titles held by the Georgia Railway and Power Company it Tallu lah. The chief executive in issuing a statement outlining his position, said that he followed closely the opinion of Attorney General Felder. He said: "The opinion of the attorney general being that the state did not reserve to Itself any of the lands in controversy,' manifestly It is no longer the state’s property, and I know of no way to re cover it. afid none has been suggested "Wherefore, the state having patted w ith the title to this property. I have no authority under the constitution or the statute laws to use the stae's name for is recovery.” Tallulah falls shall not be dethroned.

WOMEN FIGHT TO KEEP DRAWINE ’ IN SCHOOLS a Mayor and Daley Backed by Prominent Persons in Effort to Retain Course. v - wl Though a majority of the members if the board of education are expected to vote again to abolish the depart ment of drawing and manual training in the grammar schools and the Girls High school at the meeting tomorrow, a strong minority today expressed hope for an early reconsideration which would result in retaining the depart ment In a revised form. At the same time prominent men and women of the city began a fight on the board's de cision. The first formal action on the matter will be tomorrow morning, the board acting formerly as a committee of the whole. But the members clearly d»- fltjed their positions and the minority realizes that to retain the department some revisions must be made. Some of the members are opposed ab solutely to the department, while oth ers object to it on the grounds that it is top-heavy and the fact that a number of the teachers are opposed to Miss Elizabeth Getz, head of the depart ment. Mayor Fights to Keep It. Strongly fighting for the department as one of the principal features of the public schools system are Mayor Winn and Walter R. Daley, president of the board of education; E. V. Carter and Shepard Bryan. They are backed by many prominent women and practical ly the entire membership pf the wom en's clubs. "I am very sorry that the, hoard took such action,” said Mayor Winn. "But the members are positive in their con victions. and 1 don't believe the matter will be. settled finally 'at the meeting tomorrow. The department instructs the children to work with their hands and the records of this training show great good has been accomplished.” "When.final action has been taken. I believe that drawing and manual train ing will be retained in the schools.” said Mr. Daley. “The maiwaj training department is no small part of the work. The little children are taught to construct practical things from dard board and wood, as well as to draw. The work probably Is the most practi cal part of the curriculum." 15 Minutes Daily Given to Work. Fifteen minutes ea.cn day is devoted to the work in the grammar schools. Teachers who are not proficient in drawing and manual training ar£ re quired to take normal courses under Miss Getz in the afternoons. This is the feature to which the teachers most, object. Miss Getz also visits the schools and supervises the work of the teachers. , Last year the course was added to the curriculum of the Girls High school The resolution, adopted by 7 to 4 when the board met as a committee of the whole, was not specific in its in tent. As it stands, it provides for the abolishment of all drawing and manual training courses. Members of the board say It will be amended, for It is not believed that even the most vigorous opponents to departments of education other than taught in the old-time schools desire to cut out mechanical drawing and what might he termed manual training in the Bovs Techno logical High school. Also, as the resolution now stands, it might mean the abandonment of do mestic science and other important fea tures of the course in the Girls High school. FATHER DONAHOE VERY ILL. SAVANNAH. GA.
