State News Os Interest 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.”; SUMMERVILLE, CHATTOOGA COUNTY, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1938.

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. BI CALENDAR OF .
