BiHbOards On The Country Roads

Tot the Editor of The Age Herald:
In the Forum of the People column in last
Saturdays Age-Hera1d was letter from
t. j. Mott. manager of the Jacksonville, Fla
branch of the Thomas Cusack Billboard Com
pany. That gentleman would have us be-
lieve that he and his company are public
benefactors and that the obnoxious signs
that are being removed from the public high
ways in many of the-states, in the Hawaiian
Islands and in England, are the smaller
signs tackled to trees and fences. Whilst
Mr., Mott would like to have us think this
it is hard to believe that he, being in the
billboard business, holds til eopinion he reg
ommends to us. He must know that the
revolt against billboards on the country. roads
is revolt against the enormities constantly
being erected. ~k
Birmingham is singularly favored by ma
ture with charming scenery; but these
charms are being neutralized and hidden by
large and glaring billboards, Take, for in
stance, the new Lewisburg road, just out
side the city limits. Within a space of city
block there are by actual count more than
thirty billboards. OF these. five are enor-
nous affairs, one of them rising forty feet
above the roadway. These eFections are
placed at turn of the road where the vis-
itor if he were permitted, might gaze upon
some of the loveliest scenery in the South
land; but which he passes by, cheated of his
pleasure while our city is robbed of her
charms by the gigantic billboards. -

THE PUBLIC TASTE

Rose Macaulay, whose Told By An Idiot
ia one of the most talked about books of the
day, holds the public in such low esteem one
Isl surprised that she condescends to write
for it. In recent interview, published in
London, she said, The public doesn't know
what it wants 1t swallows everything put
before it,. tits poor poltroon, with mouth
agape at the deings of others, and its mind a
blank The newspapers regard the public as
purely eimbecile. The selling of books is done
by publishers and not by novelists. If a
publisher says book is becoming a great
success it soon becomes so. Publishers well
know that scarcely any novels are good So
with plays. The public has no idea, what it
wants. 1t only knows it wants to go to
plays, and it doesn't care what plays they
are. 4.t-.. -,
A fellow countryman of Miss Macaulay,
none other than George Bernard Shaw, has
enhanced his reputation as wit and literary
'incorrigible," and has acquired much well
come publicity by calling the public hard
names. If Miss Macaulay is sincere, and
is not following a method Mr.. Shaw has
utilized for, 10, these many years in advertis-
ing himself and his works. if Miss Macaulay
is not speaking with her tongue in her cheek,
her sweeping condemnation of public taste
shows poor judgment, and ignorance of

siderable part of the public may not know
What it wants. and may not care what it
reads in books and newspapers, and hears on
the stage. but this is not the public that
makes and unmakes literary regulations.
To include all-the intelligent and the un.
intelligent; scholars and cabaret patrons :;
playgoers who still find inspiration in Shake
speare and those whose idea of entertainment
in a theatre is girl shown the category
of a "poltroon. with mouth agape' is such a
palpable distortion of the truth that it is
difficult to take Miss Macaulay's assertions
seriously. If the public were as stupid and
complacent IA she says it is, there would be
neither literature nor drama worthy of the
name. Authors cannot go on writing books
indefinitely that never sell; plays are not
produced to empty houses. If the public will
not read book or attend "a play, neither
book nor play has the slightest chance to
survive. That great books and great plays
hesye come down to us through the centuries
ia evidence enough that the public does dis
criminate between what is worthy and what
is not and that a considerable part Of the
public demands. and receives. what is best
in literature. re
There are to be sure. many people of the
type which Miss Macaulay processes to be-
lieve is the only type. There are very many
people, in. fact who read trashy books and

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
Enclosed you will find Clipping from tn
Marion fimes-Standard of today from "
Z. Harris, probate judge of Perry county.
If you could give space to first two para
graphs and last two paragraphs Of. this al
tlcle, as follows, your Perry county, reader
would appreciate the favor -. -
The highway commission is cortem-
plating building, a road from Dallas
county line near Barker's Mill north to
Sprott. The engineers are now survey
ing the road and from appearances it is
not contemplated making any connection
with the county seat of Perry county
as the law requires. It then becomes a
local road entirely and does not provide
connection of East Perry with the conn,
ty seat, and does not provide the people
west of the river with connection so
that they may use this Felix Sprott road
Section p, page $40. acts 1928, pro-
vides: The state highway commission
or highway department shall locate.
construct and maintain highways and
state trunk roads so as to connect each
county seat of the adjoining county by
the, most direct and most feasible route
by permanent. road, having due regard
to the public, welfare" This road going
to Sprott, does not tend to connect the
county seat of Dallas nor Bib with the
county seat of Perry. The construction
OF this road to Sprott, passing up the
county seat of Perry county, does not
consider or have regard for the public
welfare; it does not provide the people
on the east side of the river connection
with their county seat and provides no
connection for traffic from Marion
to Selma. It neither provides the people
on west side of the river with eonnec
ton or access to this Felix 'Sprott road.
cerned.
The highway commission should NOT
be called upon to build a road from Ma
rion to Centreville this year, as there
are no federal funds with which to build
this road this year. If they should nm
dertake to build it this year they would
lose the remainder of the federal funds
for this county, for this is the only fed
eral line in this county remaining to be
built. They are building this Felix
Sprott road with state funds only. The
highway commission states that this
federal state road from Marion to Cen
treville will be begun in 1925, when fed
eral funds are available. I want the
people of this county to cooperate with
the state highway commission. but they
should insist that this Felix Sprott road
should begin at the foot Of Joice hill and
be built toward Dallas county line at
