months old child of Mrs. Clifford
Johnston, died yesterday at Ander
sonville, Ga., and the body will in all
probability be brought to Dalton
tomorrow and carried to Spring Place
for interment. Mts. Johnston, the
child’s mother, is a cousin of Mr.
Lester Steed and is well known here.
“And do you have to be called in
the mornings?’’ asked the lady who
was about to engage a new girl.
“I don’t have to be, mum,” replied
the applicant, “unless you happen to
need me.” —Yonkers Statesman.

Honor Harriett Beecher Stowe’s Mem
ory.
Hartford, Conn.. June 14 —The uni
versal regard in which the memory
of Harriett Beecher Stowe is held
was given expression throughout Con
necticut and elsewhere in New Eng
land today by exercises commemorat
ing the 100th anniversary of the birth
of the author of “tncle Tom’s Cab
in.” In Litchfield, where the famous
author was born, and in Hartford,
where she spent the latter part of
her life the principal public observ
ances were held, but there was scarce
ly a school or literary society in this
section which did not devote some
time to the memory of the writer.

BRYAN SPEECH
SCHEDULED EUR
NEXI FRIDAY
‘‘PEERLESS ONE” WILL AD
DRESS THOUSANDS IN MAM
MOTH TENT—BOY SCOUTS TO
GREET GUEST WITH EMBLEMS
OF PEACE AND INDUSTRY.
Only nine days remain before Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, former demo
cratic leader and world renowned ora
tor will be in Dalton.
People from all over Whitfield
county and from many of the near
by cities and towns are expected to
be in Dalton on the date named and
it is a foregone conclusion that a
great gathering of people will hear
Mr. Bryan, many of them for the first
time in their lives.
Arrangements have been perfected
for a huge tent, as no ordinary audi
torium would seat the crowd.
This tent will be furnished by the
M. D. & H. L. Smith company and
will be located conveniently in the
down town district, probably on the
Green lot adjoining {he post office.
There will be reserved seats for
those who desire them. The reserved
seats will be SI.OO and the general ad
mission 50 cents.
The address will be delivered, begin
ning promptly at 2 o ’clock in thQ af
ternoon. TLe rm itte? hak'been so ar
■raimed in order that people from
the farthest portions of the county
may have plenty of time to reach Dal
ton in buggies and wagons and then
be able to return to their homes again
before darkness falls.
Already several huge banners have
been placed on Hamilton street ad
vertising the event and advertise
ments have also been placed in the
newspapers in surrounding towns in
order that every one may be posted
as to the date and prices of admis
sion.
Mr. Bryan’s subject has not been
announced, but it will be a great
speech as every one knows who has
followed his career for the past ten
or fifteen years.
When Mr. Bryan arrives it has been
arranged for him to be met by the
local company of Boy Scouts, who will
welcome him to Dalton.
Instead of guns and swords the
scouts will carry pruning hooks and
plow shares, emblematic of peace and
industry.
The boys will all be in regulation
uniform and after the reception they
will hear the great commoner speak.
A circus-day will be a tame affair,
ompared with the attendance of farm
ers at the Bryan lecture in Dalton on
June 23 at 2 p. m.
ARCHITECT MAY
REVISE HIS PLANS
The Chattanooga contractor who
was expected to arrive yesterday af
ternoon for a conference with the
board of education relative to North
Dalton school contract, did not appear
before that body and as yet no con
tract has been let.
It is said that the board will in all
probability communicate at once with
Mr. Charles Carlton, the architect, and
request him to come to Dalton so that
the plans and specifications may be
gone over with him and have them
rearranged and cut down to where the
contract may be let within the sum in
hand.

MAN DIES FROM
OVERDOSE MORPHINE
Mr. Jake Howell, a well known
young man who lived on Pentz street,
died last night from what was said to
be an overdose.of morphine.
It is not believed that the drug was
taken with suicidal intent but that he
intended to take only enough to ob
tain relief and perhaps he lost account
of the amount he was taking.
Dr. H. L. Erwin was called to see
him yesterday afternoon, but all ef
forts to save his life were in vain as
he had apparently taken more than
his system could stand.
He passed away at 11 o’clock last
night. The funeral will occur at the
residence this afternoon at 4 o’clock
and the interment will be at West
Hill cemetery.
Mr. Howell had many friends who
will regret very deeply his death.
An Argus ad will fill the bill.
Fourth of July Celebration.
A meeting of merchants will be
held on Friday afternoon at the Econ
omy store to arrange for a mammoth
Fourth of July celebration this year.
It is intended to have an attractive
program and advertise the occasion
far and wide.
ARMY HOARD
WILL FAVOR
CHICKAMAUGA
SAID THAT COMMISSIONERS
WILL CONSIDER THAT GEOR
GIA MANEUVER GROUND HAS
ADVANTAGE OVER TULLAHO
MA, TENN.
Washington, D. C., June 14 —While
the board of army officers is favorable
to the acceptance of the donation of
5,000 acres of land in the vicinity of
Tullahoma Tenn., for establishment
of maneuver grounds and target
ranges, its report to congress will de
tail many disadvantages that operate
against the tract as suitable for the
army.
The recommendations of the hoard,
it seems, will indirectly favor Chieka
amauga Park, located in Walker and
Catoosa counties, Ga. This news,
which leaked out yesterday, will be
read with interest by the national
guardmen of the south, and Georgia
particularly.
It also means much to other inter
ests in Georgia and makes it practi
cally certain that Chickamauga is not
to be abandoned. The disadvantage of
greatest force in the opinion of the
board is that Tullahoma is not central
ly located. ,
It is remotely located as regards
the national guard of the southeas
tern states, and would be far from
convenient as a place of mobiliza
tion. The board also finds fault with
the railroad facilities. It is served
by only one trunk line, the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis. The ver
dict of the board has been hailed with
delight by Congressman Lee and oth-,
er Georgia members who are interest
ed in further development of the
Chickamauga property. Congressman
Moon, of Chattanooga, is also well
pleased with the tenor of the report.
The board also finds that 5,000 acres
is too small a tract of land to meet
the requirements and while this could
be had free of cost, the government
would have to buy thousands of ad
ditional acres, on which it would be
necessary to secure options at ex
orbitant prices.
The tract at Chickamauga in con
nection with the land on which the
government already has options, is
sufficiently large for all of the re
quirements. Moreover, the govern
ment has already invested thousands
of dollars in its improvement and it
could be easily converted into a man
e:”-or ground and target ranges for
the national guard o fthe southeas
tern states.
COMMITTEE OPENS
FIRE HALL BIDS
The fire hall committee of council
met yesterday afternoon and opened
the bids of three contractors who were
after the contract for the city’s new
headquarters.
The amounts of the bids have not
been made publie but it is stated that
they were above the sum on hand for
the erection of the hall and the com
mittee will therefore ask the advice
of council in the matter and also take
up the disposition of the city’s sale
able property and see what can be
be realized from it.

GEORGIA POWER
COMPANY WILL
ASK FRANCHISE
ANOTHER WATER POWER COM
PANY IS HEADED FOR DAL
TON AND ITS REPRESENTA
TIVE L. F. JOERISSEN VIS
ITS CITY TODAY.
Representative of the Georgia Pow
er Co., L. F. Joerissen is in the city to
day canvassing the manufacturers and
interviewing the city officials to ob
tain information as to the amount of
power used in the eity and whether
the officials of the city would extend
their co-operation.
The company has been working on
the development at Tallulah Falls
since February Ist, where they will
develop 60,000 horse-power and have
surveyed the line to Rome as well as
having purchased the right of way
to that point.
The line will come from Atlanta
through Marietta and Cartersville
and Calhoun to Dalton.
The line will be constructed of steel
towers arranged for tw*o circuits to
preclude the possibility of interrup
tion. for if trouble occurs on one cir
cuit the energy will then automatical
ly flow through the other circuit.
This company owns a site on the
' Ktiowah River near Cartersville which
will be developed as soon as the mar
ket demands it and they also own
sites on the Chattahoochee river,
near Buford and Franklin which will
also be developed when the capacity
of this company’s system will be 150-
000 horse-power.
With this large amount of electric
power available for power purposes,
the impetus given to the starting up
of new industries in this territory
will be such as to the laymen will be
almost beyond his comprehension and
belief, says Mr. Joerissen.
Mr. Joerissen stated that the com
pany would make application to the
Mayor and Council within a few days
for permission to supply the local in- .
dustries with electric power.
The lines will be completed and the
power ready for delivery in Dalton
in the fall of 1912.
HORACE J. SMITH

JOSEPH B. REICHMANN
MUST GO ON TRIAL
New York, June 13 —Joseph B.
Reichmann, former president of the
suspended Carnegie Trust company,
must go on trial on the indictment
charging him with a misdemeanor.
Justice Davis today denied a motion
to quash the inditment against
Reichmann, which the banker said
had been obtained only after his con
stitutional rights had been violated
by compelling him to testify before
the grand jury.
