ATLANTA. —What .is true of New
"York is equally true of Georgia and
other States where billboards have
spread along the highways and by
ways in a scenery-destroying blight,
says the Atlanta Journal, in com
menting on the steadily mounting
public resentment of billboards on
highways. New York State, the ed
itorial pointed out, recently witnes
sed something new in the fight on
highway eyesores when a line of
billboards shutting off a river view
was piloted in the village of Hast
ingti-On-diudson. 'the picketing
demonstration was designed to spur
adoption oi an ordinance barring
billboards. An irate citizen marcheu
back and forth past the row of signs
carrying a sandwich board bearing
on one side the inscription, “Unfair
to Nature,” and on the other, “Only
God Can Make a View. Only Man
Can*Mar It.” Forward-looking States
recognize their scenery as one of
their chief assets and take measures
to protect it,” the editorial added.

Talmadge May
Contest Election
ATLANTA.—Although to most
people of Georgia last week’s Deme
cratic primary is history. Former
Governor Eugene Talmadge, , unsu.
cessful candidate for the United
States Senate, says “hold everything”!
—the election may not' be over yet. j
Talmadge in a paid broadcast over]
radio station . WSB last Friday night, j
indicated that he may contest the!
■election. He said that information}
he has received strongly indicate -
that fraud and crookedness were in
evidence at some of the ballot boxes.
The former governor said he is now
investigating, and that, if the infor
mation he has is correct he shall
contest the election. He said that
more than twenty county unit vote
placed in the column for Senator Wai-!
ter F. George, who was re-elected,
should, have been credited to- him.
Talmadge further said that he cannot
prove his contention .then he will;
congratulate George—but not before )
for Uncle Sam (and our good unci
is not the best paying boss in the,
world) it' is time, . for them to end
the pursuing of- policies which make
it impossible for the carriers to meet
successfully other forms of competi
tion,” declared Robert. P. VanDerpoel,
financial editor of she Chicago Amer
ican. “On the other hand, unless
Uncle Sam wants the job of running
the railroads (ind it is quite likely
to prove a thankless task) he had
better hurry to lift the burden of
excessive regulation from their b?ck:’,
or add compensating handicaps to!
corhpethfg forms of transportation.”;

Grand Jury in
Session Monday
Judge Claude H Porter, judge of
! Chattooga Superior Court, in his
; charge Monday said some things on
citizenship that every citizen in Chat
tooga County should observe. He
: divided his charge into three sections.
tVho we are; what we are; and what
v/t ought to be.
Who we are: Judge Porter said “Let
: us take a little time today to reason
together. We do not think enough
ior ourselves. We are perhaps the
bluest-blooded Anglo Saxons in this
Empire State of the South. In our
talking of blue-blood aristocracy we
do not think enough of ourselves. We
■vou'. I not swap countries, states or
! counties with any citizens anywhere.
! Being who we are we should, to make
mi country second to none and our
Homes, our churches, our schools and
our state a little better because we
have lived in our days.”
What we are: ‘We are in the midst
' a changing social order. We ought
to face the facts. W’e ought to ad
! just ourselves to the new conditions.
Most of you grand jurymen, being
lathers, should be fathers of eonvic
! lions, good citizens, and to discharge
! our duty as citizens we should cease
shrinking our duty as citizens and we
- need unflinching courage, unbending
decisions and open minds to learn
: that we must put things out of ex-;
istence that should not exist in our
state, in our county, and in our
homes.”
What we ought to be: “Yes, we
have made mistakes. We ought to I
be big enough not to shrink from our!
duty because we have made mistakes!
, Our mistakes should be stepping) 1
stones to higher things. Therefore)
it is incumbent on every citizen to)
make things better in this land of ours
Ii we are to build for the future, upon
the mistakes of the past, each one of
yus must see our faults, our mistakes
and or sins and confess them. Then
we will become masters of ourselves
; and fair to ourselves. We build as
we build on our failures, have I a
! foundation sufficient to build a life as
j an individual, as a citizen, and for
! my country, that posterity may live
! better because of my having lived.”
Here is our problem: “Everyone
wants to do right; everyone desires
1 to do the right thing; everyone w-ants
,tq know that they migh do right,
then it is easy to do right. Our prob
lem is that some influential person
) perhaps because of financial or pol
: itical advantage will do a shaded
thing; then it is easy for the rest
of us to go along with them. To build
for the future we must have courage
to do right in the face of such per
sons and ii we lack courage to do
right we will not build much for com
,.,g posterity. We must fight selfish
) miss, greed and avarice in ourselves
and. in ethers and take away all unfair
dealings that we should build suc
cessfully for the coming generation.
Every thinking citizen who heard
Judge Porter’s charge to the Grand
Jury appreciates the fine spirit and
noble ideals set forth in his charge.
May we build for the future.

CONTEST TO CLOSE
ATLANTA.—Last call. Entries,
in the Candid Camera Livestock con
test staged by the Southeastern, and
sponsored by The Atlanta Journal,
will be received until midnight, Sep
tember 24.
Three prizes, $25 first, sls second
and $lO third, will be awarded for best
candid shots with livestock as the
central theme. Photos entered should

Incidentally, the “million dollar”
National Livestock Show, attracting
herds of cattle from the four corners
of the nation, will be the central mo
tif around which educational and en
tertainment features will be woven
during the 1938 Southeastern Fair,
at Lakewood Park, October 2-9.
With slightly more than a week
left before gates of the fairgrounds
swing open, an army of workmen is
at work making radical changes in
the giant exhibit buildings and vast
fairground tracts, which this year
will throw the spotlight of the annua,
exposition upon the ever-growing
prominence of the livestock develop
ment in Georgia and the Southeast.
