A DEPLORABLE CONDITION
The announcement from the members of the At
lanta Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy,
of their intention to return to the Venable family the
revisionary interest in Stone Mountain which was
deeded to that organization Sometime ago, will be re
ceived with general regrets, not only in Georgia, but
throughout the South and in all sections of the nation
where the Confederacy has a Chapter. The pro
posed monument to the fallen heroes of .the South was
an inspiration to every Southerner; it would have
been a silent, memorial to the cause that is held so
near and dear in the hearts of every dependent of its
“defenders” for ages to come; ini fact it would have
stood tfcqrer as long as time snail last
Unfortunately for the cause for which it was in
tended,) mismanagement and dissatisfaction sprung up
between.those in charge of the project which resulted
in thd mate of many thousands of dollars. Lack of
co-operation on the part of the people with the former
directing heads of the Stone Mountain Confederate
Monumental* association made it impossible to raise
further ^ibscrihtions for the completion of the me-

many autpists refuse to stop when hailed or even to
stop to help another whose auto mky be. out of com
mission. Travelers are justified in Such action on ac
count of the numerous hold-ups that are taking place
daily. The .Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Netvs in commenting
on proposed legislation for Pennsylvania, says;
“The next session of the legislature in Pennsylvania
is to be asked to pass a law-making thd soliciting of
a ride on the public highways Punishable by fine <jp
jail sentence. So dangerous and annoying has become
the “hitch-hiker”, the “thumhi-jerker” and the “higli-
wayi deadbeat”, say the mojforists of the state, that
Buch a law is necessary. They add that the motorist
who picks up a stranger along the road is taking a
long chance, and that hundreds of crimes, including a
number of murders, havfe been committed with the
unwary mojtorist the victim.”
CHASING/hiE FIRE TRUCKS
Athens has grown/beyond the stage of the village
in every ngpect wiLh the exception of the actions of
some citizens on odcasions when the fire alarm is
sounded. Invariably these thoughtless citizens crank
up their automobil s and frantically endeavor to beat
the fire trucks to) the scene of the conflagration.
Often drivers of tl ese cars forget, or through the ex
citement and eage -ness to reach the fire, run amuck
of other cars causing accidents of more or less seri

of damagDifoom t! ie automobile, but the lives of some
of the autoists or some of the firemen might be en
dangered from sui h practices. When fire occurs, the
citizen who canno restrain himself from entering the
race should foll6w\soip«'side street to the destination
and avoid blocking the way of the fire trucks, he
will confer a great Savor on the firemen and possibly

Leather Production
And Costs Stable
NEW YORK, —m— Tanners
say their industry, after experi

and difficulty in obtaining raw
material, has reached a level ot

Spencer K. JIulford, president
of American Leather Producers,
the industry’s clearing house for
trade information, estimates that
consumpt.un of cattle hides, from
which much of the American
leather is made, is running 10 per
cent above the 1924-1928 average
and well abeva last year’s. Ho
ever, hide supply, regarded ax

of hides taken off, has lagged be

have made up the deficiency cans

animals in the 1928 fedial in
spected cattle slaughter, and such
imports are about one-third above
those of 192?.
Prices of domestic hides during
the first nine months of 1928 were
about 30 per cent above 1927 and
about 60 per cent above the aver
age for the three preceding years.
Foreign hides are said to have

more than in the 1924-1927 period,
