ARGUS SIORY
IS APPROVED

i CIATION OF ARTICLE IN YES-
TERDAY’S DAILY ARGUS ON
SITUATION IN DALTON.
Since the publication in yesterday's
Daily Argus of a story dealing with the
situation in Dalton as viewed by this
paper, a large number of business men
have expressed their appreciation of
our efforts to bring about harmonf* in
the city and have stated that the story
was a timely one and exactly outlined
their individual opinions in the matter.
There seems to be little doubt that
a majority of the conservative, think
ing people of the community are op
posed to the stirred up condition of
things in Dalton and they desire an
early adjustment of any differences
which may exist.
This was made doubly manifest to
The Daily Argus today, when so many
messages reached this office commen
datory of our stand.
As intimated yesterday. The Daily
Argil's is not against anybody. It is
for Dalton and Dalton will be a better
town and will progress more rapidly
when every man in it turns all of his
spare energy into boosting.

gia and moved to Cobb county before
the war. The funeral at the residence

How to Be Young at 100
“Man is the only animal on the face
of the earth who cooks his food and
therefore destroys its value,” says Dr.
Robert Bell in a lecture on "Man’s Na
tural Diet,” delivered at Caxton Hall,
says the London Express. "If only we
would take a lesson from the wild ani
mals by adopting the diet which na
ture has provided for us, we should
have a better, healthier and longer
life.” But Dr. Bell does not advocate
that mere man should imitate the tig
er in the manner of his meals. “All
flesh diet should be banned,” he says
“and our food should consist entirely
of vegetables, fruits, <jereals, and these
cooked as little as possible.” Dr. Bell
would have children brought up in
this way. He believes that children
would be satisfied with whole-meal
bread, raw vegetables and fruit for
their dinner and never crave for any
other food if they were informed that
it is good for their health and condu
cive to a green old age.
Dr. Bell strongly recommends raw
peas as a delicious and healthy dish.
But he does not believe that nature
intends tor man to eat grass; his teeth
are not adapted to it. The lecturer
added that every human being ought
to attain an age of at least 128 years.
“That there are so few centenarians
among us,” he said, “can certainly
be attributed to our going against na
ture’s decrees,”

FITE ORDERED TO SIGN
THE BILL OF EXCEPTIONS
Some ten or fifteen days ago, Judge
Fite passed an order in what is known
'as the Goodwood Dairy case, putting
Mr. W. A. Peek out of possession and
placing Mr. L. W. McKinney in charge
under the Peek’s attorneys
presented' a to the
ruling of the court, which Judge Fite
refused to certify.
This however did not end the matter.
Peek’s attorneys, C. D. and F. K. Mc-
Cutchen and M. C. Tarver, petitioned
the Supreme court to compel the lower
court to sign the bill. After requiring
Judge Fite to show cause why he
should not sign it, the Supreme court
on yesterday passed the following
order:
Atlanta, May 23, 1911.
The Honorable Supreme Court met
pursuant to adjournment. The fol-
HERE IS SOME
'DOPE OH® COBB
Maj. T. S. Lucas, who snatches time
now and then to glance over the bat
ting averages, has handed The Daily
Argus an interesting table compiled
from seven games, showing the re
cord of Tyrus Ramond Cobb, the Geor
gia peach.
In the seven games Cobb -was at bat
26 times. He made 9 runs, 14 base
bits, 3 two base hits, 1 three-bagger,
1 home run, 1 sacrifice hit; got his
base on balls 4 times, stole bases 5
times, put out 25, made 1 assist and
was not guilty of a single error during
the entire week. His percentage of
fielding was 100 and his percentage at
bat was 53.6 and so far as is known
this record was never before in the
world equalled by any ball player, and
probably never will be again, unless
Cobb gets it into his head to improve
his batting a little, in which case he
may hit some higher.
That peach Is a wonder.
“I say old man, lend me an X.”
“Would if I could, dear chap, but
there’s an algebraic difficulty in the
way.”
“What is it?”
“An X with me is an unknown
quantity.”—The Pathfinder.
School workers throughout the state
are to be present and much work has
been put upon the preparation of the
exercises.
The program in full is as follows:
lowing order was passed:
W. A. Peek vs. A. W. Fite, judge. Ap
plication for Mandamus.
After considering the above stated
petition and the answer thereto, it is
adjudged and ordered that the man
dHma,..nlsVbe made absolute, and that
respondent sign and certify the bill of
exceptions, a copy of which is set out
in the said petition, on presentation of
the same within ten days from the
date of this order.
The right to mandamus a Judge of
the Superior courts is one which has
been rarely used by the Supreme
Court in Georgia.
In the time while the case has been
pending in the higher court, Peek has
been put out of possession under the
order which Judge Fite refused tQ al
low him to review.

PIPE WORK
BEGINS TODAY
TEN INCH MAINS ARE TO BE LAID
UP SIDE OF MOUNT RACHEL—
BIG RESERVOIR NOW PRACTI
CALLY FINISHED.
Except for the finishing touches the
big resevoir on the top of Mount
Rachel is finished today and a force of
men will start this afternoon laying
the line of pipe up the mountain,
through which will flow Dalton’s new
water supply.
The pipes are ten inches in diame

water and plenty of pressure for all
time to come.
At the pumping station and power
house over on the creek, work will be
pushed forward rapidly from now on so
as to get the entire water, light and
power apparatus in working order as
soon as possible.
A representative of the Terrell-Hed
ges Company, who has the contract
for the electrical construction, stated
this morning that several car loads
of materials had arrived. Among these
are a couple of cars of poles which
were secured in Tennessee above
Knoxville and work on erecting these
will be started immediately.
There are to be no wires on the
streets, as originally stated, the lines
coming along the alleyways and out
at street corners, where lights are pro
vided for.
