ARCHITECT , FURNISHES 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.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR POT BOILS TODAY WITH LEGISLATORS SOLONS ARE TODAY ORGANIZ 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. 44 1 wonder what becomes of the little girls who dig up the seeds they 1 plant, to see if they are growing.” •, 44 They become little women and keep opening the refrigerator to see if there is any ice left.
