SAVE TALLULAH!

The suggestion made by Judge Z. A.
Littlejohn as regards the people OF
this section and the entire state nf
Georgia joining in the plan to have
Tallulah Falls included in the Appa-
lachian reservation, is one that should
meet with instant response from the
people of Americas and Sumter county.
In this particular Judge Littlejohn IS
quoted as follows:
4 believe all of our people should
write the Secretary of the Department
of Agriculture at Washington, urging
prompt action to include TalIulah Falls
and sufficient adjacent territory in the
proposed Appalachian forest reserya-
ton. We must not let authorities at
Washington believe that we are indit-
ferent in such a matter as this. We
are not opposed to progressive steps,
to the material development Of our
resources, but there is ample scope for
this without destroying or imparring
enc of natures most remarkable handi-
works Tallulah Falls must be pre-
served inviolate"
This should come as a clarion call %
the people of Georgia to bestir them
selves to prevent the spoliation Of
Tallulah. With the exception of the
Women's clubs of the state, there has
been practically no united effort TO
prevent capitalists from getting pos
session of TalIulah and of running not
only the falls but the entire adjacent
territory. The people Of the state have
been most Indifferent in the matter and
unless this Indifference is overcome
and repudiated at once it may be too
late to save Tallulah.
Already the corporation that is me-
nacing the falls is blazoning forth in
the daily press that it will erect ut
Tallulah the highest dam ever built in
the South and that the contract for
this purpose has been let. If the efforts
of the corporation are attacked, it will,
of course, claim that its plant will III
no way affect the beauty of the falls.
This is always the claim that is made.
Such was the case with Niagara Falls,
which was rescued only after the
hand of commercial greed had
shorn it of much of its original beauty.
The callousness and Indifference of
the people of Georgia in the face Of
of such conditions is indeed pathetic.
Why is it that public sentiment is so
hard to arouse in matters of this kind
where the principle of aesthetics is
arrayed against commercialism. If
the people carelessly allow Tallulah to
be desecrated, they will repent bitterly
after they come to realize what they
have done To-day is the time to pro-
test and to protest vigorously To-
morrow may be too late Follow the
suggestion given by Judge Littlejohn
and write at once to the United States
Department of Agriculture, urging the
inclusion of Tallulah Falls and ada
cent territory in the Appalachian res
ervation and the making of this gem of
natural beauty into a national park.

Years and years ago, when l

And after school hours used to work
Around the farm with dad,

When eventide was come,
That l got kinder anxious-like
About the journey home.
But dad, he used to lead the way,
An once in a while turn round and
say
So cheerin' like, so tender-"Come,
Come on, my son, you're nearly
