NATIONAL FOREST
CREATED IN STATE
CHATTAHOOCHEE AREA IS
EXCLUSIVELY IN
GEORGIA BOUNDARIES
ATLANTA, July 3.—The first na
tional forest exclusively within the
boundaries of Georgia comes into le
gal existence today. Joseph C. Kir
cher, of Atlanta, southern regional
forester for the United States an
nounced. It will be known officially
as the Chattahoochee National For
est- and was created by presidential
proclamation from the Georgia por
tions of the Cherokee and Nantahala
national forests, which have head
quarters in Tennessee and North
Carolina.
The new Georgia national forest
consists of 500,000 acres in Lumkin,
Dawson, Fannin, Gilman, Habersham
Murray, Rabun, Towns, Union and
White counties. Kircher said official
headquarters will be opened in
Gainesville on July 6.
P. F. W. Prater, formerly assistant
supervisor of the Cherokee forest at
Cleveland, Tenn., has been appointed
supervisor of the Chattahoochee.
Ten CCC camps stationed on the
Chattahoochee forest are engaged in
truck trail construction, prevention
and supervision of forest fires, proj
ects to increase the fish and game,
thinning to improve the stands of
timber, and the development of camp
ing and picnic areas for public use.
DEMOCRATS SOLVE
RAISING OF FUNDS
Organizing of the personal solicita
tion drive which is to be utilized in
raising Chatham County's quota of
$2,500 for Roosevelt campaign ex
penses will be completed at a joint
meeting to be held of the Women’s
Democratic Club. The Young Peoples’
Democratic Club, and organized labor.
Although the meeting probably will
be held Tuesday night in the City
Court room it will be subject to the
decision of a conference to be held
between Stephen N. Harris and lead
ers of the organizations concerned.
The idea of obtaining the fund by
securing minimum contributions from
many rather than large amounts from
a few was approved by Gen. W, L.
Grayson, president of the county
“Roosevelt for President” club. Cards
which allow for 30 signatures, signees
of which pay SI.OO each, and are
known as "Roosevelt nominators”,
will be utilized.
VETERANS HEAR
LEGION LEADER
The new state commander of the
Amorican Legion, E. F. O'Connor, ad
dressed Savannah Post 135 at the
Hotel Savannah. Morris Horovitz,
commander, presided.
Mr. O’Connor suggested in his talk
as a worthy objective for local legion
opsts the betterment of their com
munities, and asked the Legionaries
to constantly strive to make of their
home towns a better place to live.
A concert by the Savannah post
band was given members and Hotel
gursts. Attending the meeting as
guests were Boykin Paschal, Arthur
Dillon, Samuel A. Cann, William Sin

GENE CHECKMATED
BY PRISON BOARD
ATLANTA, July 3 (TP)—Political
observers in Georgia today are say
. ing that the state prison commission
* has put Governor Talmadge on the
spot.
The commission has recommended
parole for Richard Gray Gallogly.
Gallogly has served a little more than
s:ven .years in the state prison. He
was convicted of participation in the
holdup-murc'ers of an Atlanta drug
store clerk and a grocery store man
ager.
Gallogly was the youthful scion -of
a well-known Atlanta family and his
tr al attracted national attention.
3ine« his conviction the possibility of
a pardon or parole has loomed up in
every gubernatorial election. Gallogy’s
grandmother is the largest stockhold
er in one of Georgia’, most influential
dally newspapers. There have been
repeated rumors of political trades to
•ecure the convicted youth’s freedom.
Speculation over the latest develop
ment in the case is rife at the cap
itol and in political circles through
out the state. Ob erve-s pcint or*; t''t
the governor 1s placed in an extreme
ly unenviable position by tile p.. cn
commission's recommendat.on. They
say that if Talmadge paroles the
youth, he will be accused of dicker
ing for political help in the coming
flections. On the other hand, if he
ghould turn down the recommenda
tion, enemies will quickly accuse him
of a vengeful attitude. The newspaper
leading the fight for Gallogly’s release
has been unfriendly to Talmadge ad
ministration.
SUIT FOR BACK TAXES
IS HELD UNNECCESSARY
ATLANTA. July 3.—The Georgia
Supreme Court has ruled adequate
remedies exist in the law for collec
tion of back taxes without legal pro
ceedings by the state comptroller gen
eral against county tax receivers or
collectrs.
The decision was made in a suit
brought by W. B. Harrison since oust
ed as comptroller general, against the
Farmers Bank, of Forsyth, for back
taxes on property worth SIOO,OOO.
Harrison contended in his cult that
the Monroe county tax officials had
refused to collect these taxes and
that it was his duty to force collec
tion.
The court said In Its decision:
"We do not think It is necessary
for the comptroller general to bring
auit either in equity or at law for
the purpose of collecting taxes. The
statutes have provided adequate reme
dies for the of t*”** ”

LEGENDS ARE BORN FOR POSTERITY
INVENTIVE AND IMAGINATIVE MINDS CREATE STORIES
THAT LIVE THROUGH CENTURIES.
By WORTH CHENEY
(Central Press Association)
This interesting story is contrib
uted by C. David Vormelker.
Legends of the old world often
have appeared in novels and folk
tales. They usually are born because
of some superstition or are given to
posterity by someone with an inven
tive and active imagination.
Although tjie United States is rela
tively young as a nation, and is not
characterized by any such homogen
ity as are the nations of Europe and
Asia, hem also a wealth of customs,
traditions and legends are growing. 1
One legend which has been mak
ing the rounds of the nation for sev
eral years, and has traveled from the
east to the west, and back again, is
the story known as*th? “Triple Warn
ing.'’ As most- stories that are passed
around chiefly by word of mouth, in
the telling and the retelling the
final story is clothed with an entirely
different set of fictional facts than
it had at first. Such is the case of
the “Triple Warning” and in its pres
ent form it has become an entertain
ing story.
As told most generally, the story
concerns a young and beautiful girl
of the south. One beautiful night,
brightened by a glorious moon, this
girl retired and fell into a slumber
that was accompanieu by a dream.
In this fantasy the girl thought she
rose from her bed, awakened by the
sound of wagon wheels on the gravel
drive outside. She went to the win
dow and was horrified to see a hearse
with a driver in the somber attire.
When this man, standing by the
two coal-black horses drawing the
coach, saw the girl, he raised his
whip and pointed it at her .
She spoke to him and asked him
what he wanted.
He replied, "Are you ready?’*
Then, although still awake. the girl
Delegates Go Ahead
y
Mlm Lena M. Phillips
Vanguard of the delegates to the
congress of the International Fed
eration of Business and Profes
sional Women to be held in Paris,
, July 26-Aug. 1, has sailed for
j Europe. Miss Lena Madesin
| Phillips, New York lawyer, presi
dent, was one. She went early to
j arrange final details of the pro
gram.
saw him turn around and drive j
slowly away.
Terrified, the girl tried to go back
to sleep, but sleep w r as impossible.
Finally, when the sun flashed all its
colors in the poetry of dawn, she fell
asl:ep.
She wondered about the dream all
day and eventually dismissed it as :
being a visual hallucination.
That night the same thing oc
curred and the following night the j
hearse and the driver again appeared j
at her window.
Some weeks later the girl had oc- !
casion to go to New York city. She i
had spent the day engaged in a j
shopping tour. In the late afternoon
she was in one of the large depart
ment stores preparing to go back to
her hotel. Walking through one of
the departments on an upper floor,
she approached the elevators.
As she stood wondering whether !
she had purchased all that she want- !
ed. fear gripped her when a voice !
behind her suddenly asked:
"Are you ready?”
Stiff with fright, she managed to !
turn around to behold the elevator 1
starter looking directly at her and
pointing a long finger at her. His
uniform was an exact duplicate of
the clothes worn by the hearse
driver.
She had intended to take the ele- ,
vator,‘but she was so completely un- |
nerved by her experience that she ,
fell in a faint.
The elevator doors clanged shut on
the passengers already inside. Simul
taneously the cables broke and the
lift plunged to the ground, bearing
its human cargo to swift death.
Since that time she never has dis
regarded any of the visions that ap
pear to her in dreams.

CAMPAIGN FUND
DRIVE EXTENDED
GEORGIA ROOSEVELT MEN
TO CONTINUE CANVAS
FOR SIOO,OOO
ATLANTA, July 3 (Special)—Ex
tension of the drive of Georgia Roose
velt Nominators for SIOO,OOO to aid
in conducting the national campaign
for re-election of President Roo eveit
until Saturday, July 11, has been an
nounced by Albert S. Hardy, state
chairman.
The chairman expressed gratifica
tion at the response, and predicted
that Georgians will rally to the sup
port of the party. He pointed out
that attendance at various conven
tions had prevented a concerted driv
by Democrats, but predicted that a
vigorous mopping up drive will Insure
success for the movement.
District and county chairmen were
urged to communicate the progress
of their efforts frequently and to
have final results in state headquar
ters at the Henry Grady hotel, this
city, by noon Saturday, July 11,
Text of Hardy's statement follows:
“The results so far obtained in the
Georgia Roosevelt Nominators’ cam
paign are most gratifying- I am
grateful to the district charmen. coun
ty chairmen and other workers who
have unselfishly devoted their time
to this effort during the past two
weeks. I cannot refrain from express
ing my particular thanks and congrat
ulations to the chairmen and work
ers in the first, second and third con
gressional distircts of the state for
the magnificent showing so far re
ported in those districts.
“It so happened that the Demo
cratic national convention was in ses
sion all of last week as were the con
ventions of the Georgia department of
the t American Legion and of the
American Legion auxiliary. Many who
attended these conventions are loyal
Democrats who were, on account of
their absence from their respective
homes, unable to devote their time,
thought and attention tothe Georgia
Roosevelt Nominators.
“They have requested that the cam
pagn be extended in order that they
might have an opportunity to partici
pate. Notwithstanding the fine re
sults thus far obtained I do not for
the reasons stated want us to cease
our efforts until our goal is reached—
sloo,oo0 —for the Roosevelt campaign.
So, we have deteimined, with the
consent of national headquarters to
continue our work until Saturday,
July 11, at which time results will be
finally consolidated and awards of
trophies made.
"I earnestly request the district
chairmen and country chairmen to re
port to me frequently as to the
progress of their work, and by all
means to have in my hands by July
11 at 12 o’clock noon the final results
in their respectve districts and coun
ties^”
GRASSHOPPERS SWARM
THROUGH KANSAS CITY
KANSAS CITY, Kan.. July 3 (TP)
—Grasshoppers by the millions
swarmed through Kansas City today,
moving eastward. The plague of ’hop
pers came in from western farmlands
The insects descended on residen
tial sections and moved through pub
lic parks in veritable blankets. They
flitted through the windows of bus
iness ofices. Hundreds of them flew
into auto windows. Street cars were
alive with the spindle-legged creatures.
Officials said they were almost help
less against the invaders. The army
of grasshoppers increases as it m:ves
through western states. Agricultural
experts say the plague is a result of
prolonged drought conditions which
are favorable to the growth of the
grasshoppers.

RIGHT ’3O WRONG
PARKER PLEADS
COMPTROLLER CANDIDATE
SAYS THAT CONVENTION
‘STOLE’ PREVIOUS WIN
STATESBORO, July 3 (Special)—
Gov. Talmadge’s candidate for Comp
troller General has issued a state
ment in which he calls upon the
people of Georgia to ‘‘right the
wrong’’ he says was done him in 1930
when the state convention at Macon
named William B. Harrison for comp
troller general.
Parker is now serving as comptrol
ler by appointment of the Governor.
He is filling out Harrison’s term fol
lowing the official’s suspension from
office by the Governor because of
his refusal to countersign state war
rants for funds for which there were
no appropriation.
Parker’s Statement
The Parker statement follows:
“For six long years I have hoped
that it would at some time be possi
ble for me to give to my friends In
Georgia and to all other Georgians
who believe in fair play an opportun
ity to right the wrong that was done
to me by the state democratic con
vention that was held in Macon in Oc
tober, 1930. At that time he people
of Georgia had chosen me as their
nominee for the office I now occupy.
The state committee certified my
name to the convention, along with
the names of the other nominees of
the party. All of the other nominees
were ratified by the delegate/ to the
convention, but the name of William
B. Harrison was substituted for mine
from the floor. On the vote that
was taken on this motion, delegates
of the people from 21 counties that I
had carried in the primary of Sep
tember 10, voted the unit voes of their
counties for Mr. Harrison. If this
manner I lost the nomination. Al
though the will of the people was
thwarted by this unprecedented ac
tion I accepted my defeat as grace
fully as I was able to.
