ed for the state body, after
which Mrs. Walter Lamar, of
Macon, president of the Georgia
division, introduced the distin-
guished visitors present. About
two hundred delegates are in at
tendance.
The most important thing
scheduled to come up Wednes-
day is the report of the text
book committee. Along with the
text books which are unfair in
their treatment of the south and
the confederacy, general litera-
ture will be discussed. This liter
airy discussion, the result of the
wide camment made with refer
ence to Ambassador Pages book.

is how to spend the sum of $780,

Messrs. Higson, of Athens, and
entrusted tu the state U. D. c. s
for investment for a memorial
for the late Francis Barlow. The
money will in all probabilities be

Tallulah Falls Case
BefOreSupreme Court

Atlanta, Oct. 2O,-The states
final stand in the fight to GUST the
power company from Tallulah
pills came before the supreme
O5urt this morning, in the appeal
from the superior court of Ham
bersham county, where the state
lost.
Attorney General T. S. Fielder
and Attorney Edgar Watkins APP
peared for the state, while Alex
King and others argued for the
power company. The argument
covered practically the same
grounds as in the trial last spring
in Clayton. The state IS contend
ing that the power people do not
hold perfected titles to certain
lands abuttlng on the gorge and
falls where the million dollar plant
has been put in.
1t will probably be two or three
months before a decision in the
case. 1t is an odd coincidence that
the Tallulah plant on Saturday
turned power into it's converting
plant here, power to be distributed
for manufacturing or other pur-
poses as need arises.
