GREAT PROGRESS
AT TALLULAH FALLS

The Atlanta papers have recently
published pictures of the work going on
at Tallulah Falls with accounts of what
the power company intends to do. The
reporters say they found picturesque
ness and progress going hand in hand,
and that instead of spelling the lowell
ness of Tallulah, the wonderful dam
and lake now in process of construction
would actually enhance it.
Harvesting water power has a plain,
business sounding ring, but what the
Georgia Railway and Power Company
is actually doing up there has males
tic and poetic beauty of its own.
The problem was to drop an immense
stream of water sheer perpendicular
distance of 600 feet onto a wheel from
which the 10000 horse power would be
generated. The first step in the solu-
ton was the construction of an immense
dam, now under way, just above the
falls, which will tower to a height of
ITO feet Jcross the gorge and form a
mountainous lake. The next step was
the digging of a tunnel one and one
fifth miles in length, sometimes as deep
as 100 feet underground, by which wa
ter from this dam is to be conveyed to
the spot from which it is to drop on the
wheel 800 feet below. The work will
cost something like SIS, 600, 600 and the
80, 600 horse power will be ready for
use and available to thirty or forty
Georgia towns and cities by January /,
1913.

KINDERGARTENS FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

During the present session of the
Georgia Legislature, Bill permitting
the establishment of Public School
Kindergartens will be introduced by
Mr.. Randolph Anderson of the First
District. The essential points of the
Bill are:
ANY town or school district may
establish and maintain Kindergartens
which shall be open to children from
four to six years of age. Only Kinder
gardeners who have had a special course
of two years training in kindergarten
work in a recognized kindergarten
training school shall be employed
Hon. P. P. Claxton U. S. Commits
sioner of Education writes:
"The kindergarten is vital factor
in American education, both for it's di-
rect~work with young children in the
kindergarten and for its influence on
the care of children in the home and on
methods of teaching in the schools. 1t
ought to become a part of the public
school system of every city, town and
village in the country"
Phillips Brooks, one of the best men
and ablest preachers our country has
ever produced was never married but
he had the heart of a father and he
said:
"He who helps child helps humanity
with distinctness, with an immediate
ness, which no other help given to hui
man life can possibly give again.
Women cannot vote but they can
write and talk to our lawmakers and
help to pass this kindergarten bill
which in my opinion is better and much
more liable to become a law than the
compulsory education bill. A. L. C.

ALTON B. PARKER
MADE CHAIRMAN
National Democratic Con
vention Met at Baltimore
Tuesday to Name a
National Ticket

William Jennings Bryan, who has
three times headed the Democratic
ticket for President of the United
States, is meeting the same OBJ
stacles in Baltimore that former
President Theodore Roosevelt met
with in Chicago last week. In the
vote for temporary chairman of the
Democratic National convention
Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, who headed the Democratic
ticket in 1904 was elected over the
strenuous protest of Mr.. Bryan. 1t
is the opinion of many Of the
Democratic leaders that the defeat
of BRYAN on Tuesday eliminates him
from the race for the Democratic
nomination for president. The
vote for Temporary chairman was
$40 to $40.
Mr.. Bryan plainly was under
stress as he made his plea to the
convention to turn down the Wall
street interests, which, he said, were
represented in the selection of Judge
Parker as temporary chairman. He
advocated Senator John w. Kern,
of Indiana, as chairman. The lat
ter, taking the floor from the Ne
braskan, dramatically called upon
Judge Parker to withdraw from the
fight and in the interest of harmony
to throw his support to any one of
half dozen progressives named by
the Bryan sympathizers. There
was no immediate response to the
open challenge in the convention,
and Mr. Kern then declared that it
was a fight to the death between
the interests and the people, Mr.
Bryan was the only person fitted to
bear the brunt for the people.
In behalf of Judge Parker, it
was later stated that as he had not
sought the office at the hands of the
national committee, and had taken
no part in the fight, he felt he had
no right to withdraw.
Mr.. Bryan left the convention
hall by rear entrance soon after
the vote on the temporary chair
manship was announced and re-
sumed conferences in his rooms.
Tuesday night he said:
The vote in convention shows
the attitude of the convention and
my speech shows my view on the
subject. | have no statement to
make. l wait developments with
out impotence. | do not know Of
. thing that needs to be added"
The Nebraskan did not attend the
night session of the convention to
hear Judge Parker's speech, but
remained in his rooms to attend to
correspondence and confer with
friends. Later Mr.. Bryan purposed
joining in the deliberations of the
platform committee.
Mr.. Bryan was apparently in a
cheerful humor, Notwithstanding
his defeat He carefully refrained
from giving any suggestion as to
his future course in the convention.

NEW STEAMBOAT
 DOCK IS PLANNED
 FOR SEA BREEZE
Engineers and Shippers Look Over Water Conditions with
 General Manager Gallagher


 Landing of excursion steamers at Sea Breeze Island is the plan that has called General Manager w. L. Gallagher and several engineers to ex- anime the harbor conditions near the Island and the various accessible DOT tions of the present shipping arrange ments. MT Gallagher and several ex- .cursion men spent most of Monday and yesterday in inspecting the vari- ous means of approach to the island.
 The principal objection to the pres ent dock is the shallow water which does not permit the landing of vessels drawing much water, while another feature the new management seeks to eliminate is the opening of the draw bridge for it's own boats. The bridge must be opened often enough in the course of daily shipping. Whether the proposed landing will be in the vicinity of the present dock or elsewhere on the island has not been determined.
 It is expected that with increased transportation facilities, there will be several excursion steamers a week at Sea Breeze.

FLANDERS AGAIN
 IN. NEW HAVEN
WELL DEVELOPED CASE OF F. PAINTER AND ANOTHER IN
 .CIPIENT ONE ROUSE
 HEALTH BOARD.

New Haven. June 12-There is one well developed case of glanders now under the care of a New Haven phys under surveillance which is undoubted. ly glanders, but which has not pro4 gressed far enough for a definite di- agnosis. The certain case is that Of Anker Johnson, painter and paper hanger of S5 Lee street. Allingtown. The name of the man with the incip- tent case is withheld ul-il the diagno- sis proves beyond question that the disease is glanders.
 The board Of health at it's regular meeting yesterday afternoon adopted q vote :nstrUcting Clerk Bailey to write to Cattle Commissioner Averill informing h m that immediate and active steps should be taken by his department for the detection of glan+ Ge~S iu horses in this vicinity and asking that all of the scientific meaS- ures possible be taken, both in the ees:s to discover the presence of the disease and for disinfection- and pre- tertion of tic spread of this dis ease ,.r
 Ii came out at the meeting that within very short time a horse sus- pected of infection had been passed as sound by the state examiner. A blood test sent to John H. A1ohler, head af the pathological department Of the bureau of animal industry at Washington, showed beyond question that the horse had glanders.
 The board of health did not know when they were discussing the case that the incipient case of glanders came, it is believed; from this very horse The wording of the vote pass ed by the board might have been a little stronger if the members. had known that :,

 Towns to whose lists no additions are made:
 Fairfield Bethel. Stamford. Stratford.s -. =.
 Lftchfield Bethlehem, Nor folk, Thomaston, Washington, Water town. .s.1.e.,s:. --s : a 's
 There are thirty-seven.-+ towns to whose lists no addition is made this year, which is a decrease of three from last year. Eight towns volun- tarily increased their lists in 1911 to an approximate statutory basis, and, as heretofore, such increases have ex- ceeded materially the previous addi- tions by the Board of Equalization, and, ten other towns by revaluations increased their total assessment lists from sixteen to fifty-two per cent. Several other towns have aNmuch lar ger list than last year, but it iss not claimed that the assessed valuation of the property aproximates the statu- tory basis.
 The additions to the lists have been made by the Board after considering definite information supplied by town officials, the results of personal inves- tigation or other competent testimony relative to assessment valuations The action has been taken in accordance with the requirements of the statutes, and, also, to prevent SO far as possible the penalizing of those towns which have voluntarily placed their lists on the statutory basis. As heretofore, it has been necessary to make addi- tions to the lists of some towns be- cause of acknowledged lower percent age of assessment on certain special property, although an effort is made to keep up the general property valu- ations.
 Hartford gets an addition of $1S,00O.- 900; New Haven, s, 75O, 900.
