FROM ROME MEETING AND
REPORT IMPORTANT CHANGE
—HOME AND FOREIGN SOCIE
TIES TO CONSOLIDATE—ELEC
TION OF OFFICERS NEXT
TUESDAY.
As a result of the United Mission
meeting which to a close yesterday in
Rome, the foreign and home mission
ary societies of this city are now
consolidated into one organization
and a meeting to elect officers for the
new society will become necessary at
once.
This meeting has been called for
next Tuesday and the missionary
workers will at that time choose their
officers and start out under an en
tirely new regime.
Mrs. C. A. Allday, of Cartersville,
has been chosen as the district sec
retary for the Dalton district.
The change in consolidating both
the branches into one is the most im
portant step that has ever been tak
en in missionary endeavor and it is
believed that the cause will be more
rapidly advanced on account of this
unification of interests which are al
most identical.
Mrs. H. J. Smith and Mrs. W. R.
Foote, both of this city, attended the
Rome meeting, returning this morn
ing
They will render their official re
port at the next meeting and the con
solidation will take place.
ENTHUSIASM GROWS
OTEII RINGGOLD MEET
Indications are that a large crowd
of people will go to Ringgold on Tues
day, May 30, when the good roads
advocates of Whitfield and Catoosa
counties and Hamilton county, Tenn.,
meet for the purpose of boosting the
highway from Dalton to Chattanooga.
Mr. F. T. Reynolds, who is back of
the Dalton end of the movement, has
written to Mr. Charles Foster, of Tun
nel Hill asking him to extend invita
tions to those interested all through
his section of the county to be there.
Mr. Tom Lee, of Chickamauga and
Mr. Kelly Bitting, of Summerville,
have also been communicated with
and they will no doubt attend and
bring crowds of people with them.
Motorists all over Dalton are en
thusiastic and probably every car
from this city will get an early start
on the date mentioned.
Those who have no cars are expect
ed to go up to Ringgold on the noon
train and participate in the fun and
come back on the train which arrives
in Dalton at 4:13 p. m.
A large crowd of autoists are com
ing from Chattanooga and while the
automobile owners are everywhere
active in behalf of the movement it
is not an automobile affair any more
than a meeting for, farmers and peo
ple everywhere interested in better
I roads.
There will be speakers from Chat
tanooga and speakers from Dalton
and a good dinner served on the
grounds from baskets which will be
carried there for the purpose.
It is going to be a great day and
the enthusiasm is growing hourly.

Wife of Veteran Soldier
Is Buried by His Side
For the first time in the history
of -Dalton a woman has been interred
in the Confederate soldiers’ cemetery.
Mrs. Paul Walker, descended from
famous ancestry, has been carried to
her last resting place beside her hus
band, a Confederate veteran, who died
many years ago.
Mr. Walker was a man of great
bravery and fought through the six
ties. At the time of his death and
burial years ago, a place was reserved
by his side and it was understood
that Mrs. Walker upon her death
would be laid there.
Mrs. Walker was a great-grand
daughter of the famous General
Brown, of revolutionary fame.
Among the keepsakes that she left

night for Jacksonville.
The N. C. & St. L. railway and the
Western & Atlantic railroad had a

Jacksonville and last night when the
train reached Dalton a large number

CROWN POINT SCHOOL
CLOSES FINE SESSION
The first term of the Crown Point
school closes Friday the 19th. All
things considered the school has pro
gressed finely under the supervision
of Miss Eula Edmondson and Miss
Vinnie Neal assistant.
They have enrolled something like
one hundred and twenty-five pupils,
all of whom have shown marked pro
gress. The average would have been
much better had it not been for meas
les, mumps and other sickness. This
has the promise of being one of the
good schools of the county.
The interest of the Crown Mills in
promoting and sustaining the school
is to be commended in the highest
terms. This institution of learning
is an honor and will prove a real
blessing to the community. The chil
dren as well as the parents are very
grateful to the Lesche club for the
interest they have manifested in do
nating quite a number of good books
for their library and it is hoped
that others may contribute in this
way.
There will be no special exercises
for the school on Friday, except pro
moting the many that deserve to be.
The children will be served cake
and cream in the beautiful grove near
the school building.

Mrs. Brown was one of the famous

Washington himself at a large ball,

very handsome and Mrs. Walker has
been offered a large sum for it.
She also left a picture, in which the

What He Feared.
The manager of a suburban music
i hall, says the Metropolitan, was test
ing the abilities of several candidates
for stage honors one day last week, and
this is how he let down one of the
would-be funny men:
“I’m sorry my boy, but your songs
won’t do for me. I can’t allow any
profanity in my theatre,” he said
not unkindly.
“But. my dear sir, I do not use pro
fanity,” replied the aspirant.
“No,” assented the manager, “but
the audience would.”

Mr. George W. Carlton, the Annis

plans for Dalton’s new school build

same which was made especially for
The Daily Argus and printed some
days ago.
A letter received from him today is
as follows:
Anniston, Ala., May 1 , 1911.
Mr. B. L. Heartsill,, Dalton. Ga.
Dear Sir: —I greatly appreciate
your consideration in saving me twen
ty copies of your paper with school
house cut. The cut is an excellent
one and your pressman has certainly
done his part well. It is one of the
very best newspaper reproductions
that I have ever seen. I enclose one

kindness. Very truly yours.

A Working Democrat.
On the morning of election, says
the Metropolitan Magazine, a farmer
came into Hiram Morse’s blacksmith
shop to have his horse shod.
“Purty busy this morning. Bill?”
inquired Morse, as he raked the em
bers together on the forge.
‘‘Yep,” answered Bill. “Hain’t got
hardly time ter go ter the village and
vote. ’ ’
“Well. ’lm party busy myself,"
said Morse, casually, “I’ll tell yer
what we’ll do,” he added after a mo
ment’s thought. “Long’s yer a re
publican an’ I’m a democrat, we’ll
pair off, jes as they do in congress, an’
neither one of us’ll vote. What do
you say ? ”
Bill agreed to the proposition, but
after election it was found that the
blacksmith had paired off with every
republican customer who had come
into the shop.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAH
U. S ENGINEER
ESTABLISHES
DUR MERIDIAN
REPRESENTATIVE OF COAST
AND GEODETIC SURVEY FINDS
ACCURATE POINT OF BEGIN
NING FOR FUTURE CALCULA
TORS— TOOK OBSERVATIONS
FROM SUN.
Mr. W. M. Hill of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, who has
been in the city for two days, has
established a correct meridian and
will in all probability leave tonight
for Murray county where he will per
form work of a similiar nature.
Although extremely technical, the
work of Mr. Hill is of vast impor
tance and from now on, there will be
in the city'park, an accurate starting
point for any surveys which may have
to be made for the'rest of time.
The magnetic star is moving around
the polar star, the rate of its travel
being such that it will make the com
plete circle in 667 years.
The ordinary surveyor’s compass
gets its bearings from the magnetic
star and on account of the continued
motion of this body there is a var
iance as about one minute a year.
In the course of a few years a line
line run from an original starting
point with the same kind of instru
ment would be at variance with the«
former figures because of the changing
magnetic star.
The coast and geodetic survey in
order to establish a permanent start
ing point eleminates the magnetic star
from its calculations and by means of
a theodlite, takes the exact location
of a given point direct from the sun.
The bearings taken from the sun
never change and in bright weather
like Dalton has been having for sev
eral days makes it possible to obtain
the greatest degree of accuracy in es
tablishing a point.
Mr. Hill has been working in the
city park and will place there a small
marble shaft on the end of which is a
copper disk. It will be an offense
against the government to disturb or
change the location of this shaft and
for all time it will serve as a correct
starting point.
For example: if County Surveyor
Hamilton desires to use a compass in
running a line, he can go to this start
ing point and his instrument will al
low for any variances in the magnetic
star and place him on exactly the right
line. Mr. Hamilton is quite familiar
with the work of the geodetic survey
and says that the establishment of
this mark will he a great help to sur
veyors.
There issaid to be one line running
through South Carolina and out into
the Atlantic ocean, where there is
never any variance, but experts have
never been able to explain this pheno
menon.
