AFTER
 SPEED ARTISTS
Semi Annual Police War on Again. Several Prominent Men Are
 Caught Speeding

Atlanta, May Special. )-Thc semi-annual police auto war Is on again and a careful lookout Is being kept for violators of the automobile ordi- mances.
 About twice a year, usually after someone Is killed as the result of care less driving, the police spur up and make a lot of cases. then the auto mobilists are forgotten for q while. or apparently so.
 This time there has been no serious accident, but fl seems the police thought it about time to get in ac- ton, and a lot of plain clothes men have been put out to watch for the speed artists and careless drivers
 Several prominent young men have already been caught in the police drag net, among them Stuart Witham. son of the well known banker, w. S. Witham; Walter Candler and Andrew Calhoun. Young Witham was released as there appeared to be no violation of law in his case. but slight fines were assessed against the two others as well as against large number of chauf- feurs who were hauled up for fast driving.
 Recorder Broyles said he made the fines light this time merely as a warn ing, but that he intended to see to if that the automobile ordinances are enforced and that those who come be- fore him for second offense had bet ter look out as the stockade will be in need of their services.

Saving the White Mountains

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
 The entire northeastern section of the country, if not more inclusive part of the nation, will be interested in the de- cision of the New Hampshire supreme court sustaining the right of that state to eordemn, through the power of emi- nent domain. picturesque Crawford Notch and other lands adjacent to this gateway to the White mountains. A bill passed by the last legislature authorized the gov- ernor and council to acquire this land. ap- proxlmating 10000 acres, by purchase and to convert it into a public park, but lum- bering interests holding title to the land refused to sell and disputed the right of condemnation.
 By this decree of the court there is as- sured the preservation of what is gener. ally considered to be one of the most at tractive scenic spots in the eastern half of the country; but more than that. q foundation is laid on which the state can go ahead in the general preservation of tho White mountain region.
 The New Hampshire scheme has it's practical as well as it's esthetic value. Utility as we'll as beauty receives consid- eration. The principles of practical for estry will be applied and the timber crop will be used, but not destroyed. It is be- lleved that the state can acquire virtually the whole of it's mountain wonderland and by scientific handling of its timber growth not only provide for the perpet- ual maintenance of great public park butt with sinking fund for the amoriza- -tion of it's cost, ultimately create an in- come-produeing asset of the state

Miss Florence May was excellent, and when. at the con elusion of her address, the announce ment was made that she. having car ried off the honors of the class and thereby won scholarship to the Wom- ans college of Alabama at Montgom- cry, the audience eheered to the echo. The valedictory address of Clay Shaw, who took as his ideal the scientific az riculturalist. provoked well nigh as much interest as that of the talented Mir Hodges MT. Clay declared that his ideal type of a railroad president was F. w. Finley of the Southern rail- way, whose agricultural department has been productive of much good. The speaker deplored the fact that too many of our young men were going into the professions and too few join ing the producers. The exercises of the evening were enlivened by quartet composed of the Messrs. Morris, Vaughan, Mitchell and DeBardeleben, who sang "Amici" and the solo "Mona,' . rendered by Miss Sallie Mae Smith.

 Next MT. smith was put forward as a prospective candidate for Congress from the Fifth district. Wilson lead- CTS were looking around for a candi- date to pit against William Schley Howard, because he took the part of Underwood in the presidential fight There is no doubt that MT. Smith was strongly urged to get into this race. but he has declined. He says many letters were written him seeking to get him into the race. but he has put it aside, and is not, in fact, candi- date for anything-at least, not now.
 Regarding the race for governor, MT. Smith has told friends that he would not have entered 1t had Woodrow Will son got every vote in Georgia, because some time ago he promised his vote and support to a personal friend, and he would not under any circumstances break that promise.
