Only nine days remain before Wil liam Jennings Bryan, former demo cratic leader and world renowned ora tor will be in Dalton.

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.

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.

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. The Ringgold, Spring Place, Cal houn and Adairsville newspapers are all advertising Bryan’s lecture in Dal ton on June 23 nt 2 p. m. ONE DOLLAR A YEAR 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.
