The first booster car to be sent
out by the Forth of July committee,
left the city at 9:30 o’clock this
morning bound for a circle tour of
Murray county.
The car was tendered by Mr. W.
B. McCarson and Chairman W. M.
Sapp of the committee and Chief
Marshall of the Parade Frank T.
Reynolds, left in it for a number
of Murray towns and settlements.
They carried with them several
thousand immense streamers, adver
tising Dalton’s big blowout on In
dependence Day, and these will be
placed as nearly as possible in the
hands of every citizen of our sister
county. v
The advertising literature came
fresh from the press last night and
sets forth the various events which
have been planned by the committee
for the entertainment of the thou
sands who are expected to make Dal
ton their Mecca on next Tuesday.
The car will make Spring Place
and provide for an advertising cam
paign there both with circulars and
in the Murray press. The literature
will be placed in Chatsworth, Eton,
Beaverdale and in fact everywhere,
and Messrs. Sapp and Reynolds will
assure each person they see that
they will be given a cordial welcome
and a good time in Dalton on the
Glorious Fourth.
There will be an additional cam
paign of advertising immediately in
the northern, western and southern
portions of this county and the in
coming trains on the Fourth are ex
pected to bring their quota of crowds
to swell the throngs from the coun
try districts.
The details for the entertainment
have progressed splendidly and the
committee has everything in working
shape and the program will go off
as advertised*
The booster car will be out all day
today and if good time is made it
may arrive back in the city tonight.

Senator Terrell, Hon. P. A. Stovall.
Judge W. A. Covington, Thomas E.
Watson —all of them are on the
ground and have each of them a fol
lowing, the extent of which is of
course not known.
Governor-elect Hoke Smith is said
to have made no utterance one way
or another, but of course he figures
largely in the dope, and there is no
telling what a day may bring forth.
The senatorial fight has created
deep interest and this is added to by
the organization of the senate and
house today and news from these
elections will be awaited tonight by
thousands of people all over the

MORE PLANS
ARCHITECT CARLTON REVISES
PLANS FOR NORTH DALTON
SCHOOL UNTIL BUILDING CAN
BE CONSTRUCTED WITHIN
AMOUNT OF MONEY ON HAND.
Architect Charles Carlton, of An
niston, who drew the plans and speci
fications for both of Dalton’s new
public school buildings, has returned
to the board of education the revised
plans for the North Dalton school
and he now has the designs in such
shape that he believes the building
can be constructed within the amount
of money on hand.
The original plans for the North
Dalton school were very handsome,
but it was ascertained that the build
ing could not be built on account of
the fact that it would take more
money to carry out the architect’s
idea in full than the board could
raise.
Mr. Carlton at the request of the
board, took the plans back to his of
fice and has revised them, preserving
at the same time, the architecture of
the front elevation and obtaining a
building which can be erected at a
lesser cost without materially sacri
ficing the appearance of the building
as originally planned.
The plans will now be submitted
to the contractors again and it is be
lieved shat it will be possible to let
the contract within a few days.
In the meantime ground has been
broken on Fort Hill and by next
September the handsome school build
ing, which is destined to be an orna
ment to the city will be completed
and turned over to the faculty.

ING BY ELECTION OF OFFI
CERS—RACE FOR SPEAKER
PRO TEM WILL BE EXCITING
ONE—WILL BE NO BUSINESS
FIRST DAY.
Atlanta, June 28—Georgia’s gener
al assembly of 1911-12 will convene
at 10 o’clock this morning.
The house will be called to order
by Clerk John T. Boiffeuillet, of the
last house, and the senate by Secre
tary Charles C. Norton, who held that
position the last session.
The first thing in order will be the
organization of the two bodies by
the election of presiding officers;
Hon. John N. Holder, of Jackson,
will go in without opposition as
speaker of the house, while Senator
John M. Slaton, of Fulton, has op
position in the person of Senator J.
E. Sheppard, of Sumpter. All in
dications, however, point to the easy
election of Mr. Slatqn, who was
president of the last senate.
There is no contest for president
pro tem of the senate, as Senator A.
0. Blalock, of Fayette, will go in
without opposition.
But there is a hot fight for speak
er pro tem of the house, and it has
been waged right up to the last min
ute in the hotel lobbies, which are
alive W’ith members, practically all
of whom reached the city by Tuesday
afternoon and night. ,
Hon. M. C. Tarver, of Whitfield and
Hon. Carl Vinson, of Baldwin, are the
contestants in this scrimmage and if
there .is any member of the house
they haven’t seen, he has kept him
self successfully hidden out.
Charles S. Norton will go in as
secretary of the senate, and John T.
Boifeuillet as clerk of the house,
without opposition.
Flynn Hargett has no opposition
for messenger of the senate, and Don
Paulk, of Ben Hill, has a practical
walk-over for messenger of the house.
It is the doorkeepership of both
bodies which seems to be creating
the warmest contest, and there are
four candidates in the senate and
about eight in the house.
As soon as the two houses are or
ganized and ready for business they
will notify each other to that effect,
and then a joint committee will be
sent to Governor Brown to let him
know that everything is in working
order.
Governor Brown’s message is all
ready, and will be sent in to both
bodies shortly after the notification
is received.
The governor's message it is stated,
follows closely the lines already in
dicated, and repeats some things he
said in his former messages. It is
understood he urges changes in the
new registration law, which, he con
siders has resulted in the disfranchis
ment of many thousand w’hite voters
in Georgia; also that he repeats his
recommendation for a reduction of
the membership of the railroad com
mission from five to three.
Outside of organization, the read
ing of the governor’s message and
making preliminary plans for the in
auguration, it is not likely that any
business will be transacted by either
house.
