The Lyon COUNTY TINES is in
error in locating the Floriston power
plant in California. 1t is some
distance within the Nevada border.
- Virginia Chronicle.
1t is the Chronicle that is mis-
taken. Floriston is in California,
and so is the power plant.-RemO
Journal.
The official map in the Consoli-
dated California & Virginia Office
in this city shows that the location
of the projected Floriston plant is
at a point in the Trnckee where
the river bends to the south and is
well within the Nevada line, on the
authority of Manager Ross.

You are all off The TINES never
located the power plant at Floris-
ton, or any other place. The TIMES
stated that some of our exchanges
were talking about Nevada's big
paper mill, and that said mill was
not in Nevada, bnt in California;
and so il is.

WILL FURNISH A STATEMENT.
Board of Education VIII submit Re-
port TO Grand Jury.

Col. George A. Mercer. president Of the
Board of Education, was seen yesterday
and asked II the board was ready TO fur
nish the statement Of its expenditures
as requested by the foreman of the grand
jury. Mr.. George J. Mills.
The statement Will be furnished to
Mr.. Mills as soon as it can be prepared"
said Col. Mercer at must be remember
ed that the $500 appropriation for 1899,
about which Mr.. Mills inquiries, has not
all been spent yet. What remains of this
appropriation, together with what we re-
ceive from the state must run US through
the remainder of the year The appro-
priation now under discussion Is that for
1900"
Col. Mercer said that he intended to
state his views on the question of the
appropriation very plainly when he goes
before the grand jury.
II is argued that 1t may require an in
crease in taxation TO give the board the
appropriation asked for" said Col Mer-
Ger. This may be the case and it may
not. Anyway, suppose 1t should, DO you
know what the increase would amount
to. just 80 cents on the $1,000 will give
us the extra $4,000 asked for About
as much as the average man will spend
for soda water or cigars or drinks in an
afternoon. / shall consider it a privilege
to be allowed TO pay this extra amount
for education and shall so inform the
grand jury"
Col. Mercer said that the Board of Edu-
cation had discussed the question of add
ing wings 10 the Henry Street school
wings having been included in the orig
inal plan for that building The advisa-
biHty of adding a wing to the Massie
school had also been discussed, he said
and If the grand jury should be unwilling
to make an appropriation for a new school
building it would be asked to appropriate
money for the purpose of charging these
schools.
Supt Ashmore will spend part of next
week in Atlanta in attendance upon the
session of the County School Commission
ers of the state.

OFFICERS ENTERTAIN OFFICERS.
a Good Time Anticipated at the First
Regiments ArmOry.


The officers of the Thirty-frst Michigan
Regiment will be entertained tonight by
those OF the First Georgia. The Geor-
gians will welcome their friends in the
officers quarters of the armory of the
First Regiment.
The officers of the Georgia command
have heard from those of the Thirty-frst.
and the invitation extended has been ac-
'cepted At o clock the Georgia officers
and their guests will assemble, and indul-
gence in the good cheer that will be pro-
vided will be no less enjoyable in one
way than that in a renewal of the good
fellowship and cemaraderie of old times
will be in another.
No formal programme for the affair has
been arranged. and any speeches that may
be made will be impromptu. Ii is thought
the zest Of the occasion will be by no
means hamDered, but rather increased, by
this arrangement.
The Georgia officers have invited several
well-known Savannah gentlemen 10 be
present as their guests. and the entertain
ment will be greatly enlivened by their
presence. They have regulations as pran-
dial speakers, and some of the good things
of which they are capable will doubtless
be forthcoming tonight.

Grams to Be Held Here.

State Convention of Confederate Vet
Grams to Be Held Here.
The Confederate Veterans camps Of
Georgia viii hold a state convention at
Savannah some time this summer or fall
for the purpose of competing the organ'-
cation by division into brigades or other
wise as may be decided.
President McGlashan of the Confederate
Veterans Association of Savannah. says
that a meeting of the Georgia division in
attendance upon the reunion was held
at Carolina Hall yesterday morning for
the purpose of taking measures 10 com
pete the organization of the Georgia
camps.
A motion was adopted that convention
of the 116 camps of the STATE be held at
time and place to be decided upon. The
Atlanta delegation named that city for
the meeting. Capt. Smith of Augusta
nominated Savannah as a more suitable
place inasmuch as the fair to be held in
Atlanta this fall might detract somewhat
from the effectiveness or the convention,
should 1t be held there al the same time
as the fair as proposed.
Gen. McG.ashan supported the motion
warmly and assured the division that a
cordial welcome would be given all who
came. A division was taken on the mo-
ton, with the result that Savannah re-
ceived forty-five votes and Atlanta TWEEN
ty-five. The time of the meeting and
other details of the convention are left to
the Savannah veterans.
Gen. McGiashan addressed the meeting
on the subject of a soldiers home for Geor-
gia, and the chairman was instructed to
appoint a committee to take the matter
under consideration and report to the con
Vention.
