TWO
Gigantic Monument On Stone Moun
tain, Started For Confederates.
Will Be Memorial To World
# War Heroes.
" 'Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—The great
Ifiemem to the Confederate dead, plan
ned for years by the United Daughters
of the Confederacy as the most fitting
memorial to the memory of the heroic
men who fought under the Stars and
Bars,” is to be a made a mounment
to all Southern heroes who fought in
the American wars from the Revolu
tion. to the great world war. The
decision was reached yesterday at &
meeting of tiee Stone Mountain Con
federate Memorial Association in At
lanta. The action was regarded as a
mafifestation of the wave of national
ism . that swept the country at the
outbreak of the world war and wipad
out all sectionalism within the Unit
ed ‘States.
The entire mountain is to be built
itno one grand monument under (i«
direction of Gutzon Borglum, the ia
mous sculptor, who originated the
idea. While the monument as a whole
is to be in honor of the Southern men
who died in all wars, the gr®at central
figure of the creation will be the mon
ument to the Confederate dead. The
state egislature passed a resolution
two years ago making May 20 Stone
Mountain Memorjal Day, when collec
tions will be taken throughout the
gouth for the monument.

‘teen ships to be allotted these four
'states to trade with Latin America

ciation is trying to build up are Sav
anfiah, Brunswick, Wilmington, Char
leston and Jacksonville, The ships, if
granted, wil lbe used in trade with
the West Indies, South and Central
America.
REPTILES ILOOSE
ON STATION PLATFORM
Atlanta, Ga., April 24 —Several size
able snakes of assorted species creat
od more or less consternation in the
Terminal <tation here vesterday, when
the ventjlated case in which they
were heing shipped from the Florida
Javerglades to a zoological garden in
the castern states, sprung a leak, al
lowing the reptiles to ooze out into
the midst of a group of express com
pany employes,
There were no casualties, however,
although the handling of express pack
ages was seriously interfered with
until the reptilian tourists had been
corralled or unceremoniously djspatch
ed. Several moccasins and rattlers
tvere included in the shipment, but
only a few of these escaped.
MONSTER PARADE TO
FEATURE MEMORIAL DAY
Atlanta, Ga., April 24—A parade in

rans from the general hospital, patri
otic organizations and Spanish-Ameri

NEGRO SOLDIER RHITS
HAWKINSVILLE MAN
Hawkinsville, April 23.—Pulaski
county officers have gotten informa
tion, vesterday and today, that may
cause the arrest of a negro soldier
sought since Soturday night for strik
ing W. J. Fergurson, county taz col
lector. It seems that Mr. Ferguson
reprimanded the negro soldier for re
fus'ng to share the sjdewalk with
two white ladies,
The negro was walking with two
negro women and the three virtually
blocked the sidewalk. The negro re
gsented Mr. Furgeson's reprimand ahd
struck him, knocking out two lower
teeth and bruising his jaw consider
ably. The negro, it is said, used brass
knucks ¢r some blunt instrument.
The blow, coming so unexpectedly,
stunned Mr. Furgerson and before he
recovered, the negro and two women
escaped.
YR CORDELE DISPATCH
HEARINGS CUT SHORT l
-
e |
Opposition Now Develops Among
Members On One Rate For Real
Ectate And Another For |
Merchandise. 3
Atlanta, Ga., April 24—Lack of pub
-Ijc interest in the new tax system pre
pared by the tax commission for sub
‘m’\'.sion to the legislature i- shown
Hy the fact that the commissicii « ! in
ihnll’ its schedule of public hearings.
' When it started on its tour of the
state the commission figured on play
ing two-day stands at several places,
including Reme and Savannah and
Wayeross, but the very small atten
dance at the other hearjngs demon?
:trated conclusively that there was
no necessity for two-day sessions in
any city, and accordingly the program
was cut half in two, and the commit
tee spet only onn day in the cities
named.
The plan propcsed by the tax com
! mission is largely the work of Sfill:}tffl'
DeJarnette, who spent more time on
’it than all the other members put to
gether, and talked them into a quasi
| acceptance of his theories of tax re
vision. At least two of the members
have subsequently got cold feet on
'the schieme and have gone so far as
to proclaim their opposition in hear
ings held by the commission. These
two ‘“recalictrants” are Representa
tives Seaborn Wright of Flovd coun
ty and Senrator L. R. Akin of Bruns
wick.
Their objection, and the objection
caised in othar quarters, in that the
DeJarnette plan would ‘levy one rate
of taxation on real estate anq ancther
(and lower) rate on stocks and mer
chaindjse, stecks and bonds, moncy in
bank, loans, ete. It is claimed that
the natural esult of suc ha system
would be to make eal estate, such as
farms, the state’s main dependeance
for revenue, and thereby cause a
much higher rate of taxation to bhe
levied on this class of property.
CAN RIDE FOR NICKEL
BUT NOT ON STREETCARS
Aflanta, Ga., April 24.—The recent
ly inaugurated six-cent street car fare
isn’t goin gto worry Atlantjans so
much after all, according to the latest
developments in the situation, for an
ordinance passed by the city council
allowing jitney bukses to operate with
out bond has been approved by Mayor
Key and the jitney drivers are making
ready to open up business in full
force before the week is out. The
jitheys were put out of business sev
eral months ago whe nan ordinance
was passed fixing §5,000 bond to be
given by each, jitney owner.
The six-cent carfare brought new
demands for a repeal of this ordi
nance and its passage by council and
approved by Mayor Key is being hail
ed with rejoicing by hundreds of At
lantians who have been takjng more
exercise than usual since the street
cars boosted their price of transpor
tation. 5
CHURCH WOMEN PLAN MEET
TO RIVAL THEIR MEN FOLKS
Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—Having been
denied all these years the privileges
of the Laymen's Missionary Confer
ence, the women of the Southern
Presbyterian Church have gotten to
gether to have a missionary confer
ence of their own; and are now pian
ning for a parallel meeting in Atlan
ta at the time of the Laymen's Mis
sionary Conference in June.
Ifor many years, the women of the
church have wanted to participate in
the gerat conferences held, but have
alwiays been denied the privileges of
the main floor on the ground that
there was not enough room for both
the me and the women.
This vear, however, the men in rec
cguition of the desire of the women
to Ddarticipate in the movement, are
colcpevating with them in arranging
a mograr which will parallel exactly
the cne given by the men, at least
5,600 women from the sixteen south
eastern states are cxpec;ed to attend
the conference.
BASEBALL SEASON
OPENS IN ATLANTA
Atlanta, Ga., April 24.—What is ex

cessful seasons in the history of pro
fessional baseball in this city opened
today at Ponce de Leon park, with the
Crackers and the Chattanooga Look
outs crossing bats in the initjal bat
tle of the Southern league schedule.
The opening game was made particu
larly interesting from the fact that
Mayor James L. Key pitched the first
ball, while hundreds of soldiers from
Camp Gordon, Fort McPherson and
Camp Jesup were in attendance.

Adequate Telephone Rates
Are Now Needed
Jor more than two years it has been evident that the increas
ing costs of operation, caused by the inereasing costs “of labor,
material and services, would necessitate a readjustment of rates
- and charges for telephone service.
Present telephone rates were fixed at a time when the costs of
operation were much lower. The costs of present day labor and
material is reflected by the inereased costs to the public of all ser
vices and commodities; and the higher costs of these clements
of the telephone operation in turn make a readjustment of tele
phone c¢harges even more urgent. : _
Plans to secure a revision of rates had been completed by this
company at the time the United States Government assumed con
trol of its lines and properties on August 1, 1918, The United
States Government now, after actual experience in the opera
tion of the proerties, finds the same need for increased revenues
to prevent an actual operating loss, which the company foresaw.
A continuation of telephone service at the present rates up to '
this time has been possible ouly by the complete utilization of the
normal surplus facilities maintained by the Bell System, and
partly because of new and more economical methods of opera
tion which have been introduced. ;
We have effected every possible economy and utilized our plant
to the limit, so the only way the Government can secure addi
t,mnu‘] revenue is hy an a.ul{ustnmnt of the rates. Operation by
the Government has \'01'11‘10(‘ the wrgeney of the need of additional
revenue to meet the gratly inereased costs of operation,
