The Press Convention
and Outing.
The Press meet in Quitman and the
outing at Brunswick last week were
noted for the enjoyable features in
cident to both. No fair city ever
cared more royally for their guests
than Quitman did during the stay of
the editors, and delightful entertain
ment filled every hour. There was
the formal speech of welcome by one
of her most prominent citizens —
Hon. Lee W. Branch, a former Cedar-
town attorney, and now a leading
lawyer of South Georgia. He deliv
ered a thoughtful address, dealing
largely with the question of law en
forcement and our national and
state crises anent disturbances and
defiance of established government.
He has one of the elegant homes in
Quitman, and his family enjoys a
wide circle of friends in that section
of the state.
There were basket dinners and
fried chicken and Brooks county
hums galore, and a banquet and
dance at the Country Club. Quit-
man's beauty und charm vied with her
wealth and facilities for entertaining
the Georgia editors, and well did her
hospitable people do the job. An un
usual number of ladies attended the
session and a feature of this conven
tion was the afternoon Tuesday when
the program was turned over to the
most prominent lady editor in Middle
Georgia, Miss Emily Woodwurd, the
brilliant editor of the Vienna Pro
gress. She presided like a veteran,
and the ladies gave a most creditable
account of themselves in several fine
papers and speeches. The conven
tion mascot is a lovely little girl of
fourteen years, Mary Singleton of
Clarkesville, who operates the lino
type machine for her father and sets
every line in the paper weekly, be
Hides heading her class in the high
school through the eighth grade. She
is a marvel of energy and talent, and
Is the pet of tho press crowd.
We attended the big barbecue and
chicken dinner in Brooks county on
Wednesday at Blue Sprngs, when all
the politicians spoke and devoured
fried chicken. It was a great feast,
with fully six or seven thousand peo
ple gathered around the tables, and it
reminded me of the good old days in
Polk, when our farmers and neigh
bors welcome their friends at some
patriotic meeting. Hundreds came
from four counties adjoining Brooks,
and the fat of the land was spread
for the entertainment of the big
throng.
Quitman hus quite a Cedartown
colony. There are the Herbert
Stubbs, the J. M. Curtrights, Dr. W.
W. Wilson, Mrs George Wood, Les
ter Stevenson, the John W Cains who
came from Chattooga county, and
many other North Georgians. These
enterprising people from upper Geor
gia have made an impression on that
section by their leadership in all pub
lic matters affecting the city and
county. They have prospered much
and helped to make that wonderful
section what it is. Editor Royal Dan
iel and his talented wife, formerly
Miss Edna Cain, have contributed
much to the development und pro
gress of South Georgia. They were
tireless in looking after the editors,
and did much to make the convention
week a splendid success.
The Standard's representatives
were the favored guesta of Mr. and
Mrs. C. T Tillman, who have one of
the hospitable homes of this magic
little city. Mr. Tillman is a leading
citizen in many ways, being general
manager of the South Georgia Rail
road, president of the Chamber of
Commerce and the Country Club, be
sides a generous contributor to all
civic activities of his hustling city.
Mrs. Coleman enjoyed the hospitality
and thoughtful courtesies of Mrs.
Tillman, the two having been warm
friends in the state and general con
ventions of the U. D. C. and D. A R,
The writer was president of the
Georgia editors organization when
last it met in Quitman twenty years
ago, and the growth of this city was
most noticeable since our former
gathering there. The beautiful
homes, the paved streets, the artistic
marble fountain erected as memorial
to the heroic dead of that county in
the World War, give the highest ev
idence of their municipal progress
and patriotic pride. Quitman proved
a royal host, and the editors never
enjoyed a more delightful session.
Brunswick greeted the editors with
an auto ride over the city, going over
to old Darien, one of the first white
settlements in colonial days and now
one of the historic spots in Georgia.
An elegant banquet at the famous
old Oglethorpe Hotel, a boat ride
down the harbor to Jckyl Island
where the millionaires spend their
winters, and winding up at a great
fish dinner on St. Simon’s Island,
proved a unique entertainment in the
lovely city by the sea. The entire
corps of officers was re-elected by the
Press Association, and next year we
meet in Lavonia in the northern sec
tion of the state.

Where Satisfaction Is a Certainty.
I saw a circus one fine day
Get ready for a trip;
The elephant just packed his trunk,
The bull dog took a grip.
—Dalton Citizen..

The tiger gave three rousing cheers,
The rhiny took his horn.

President Harding evidently would
n’t object to see Henry C. “a Lodge
in some vast wilderness.”
In his effort to find more things to
tax, it looks ns though Gov. Hard
wick is trying to drive the drug stores
out of business.
There is too much of the spirit a-
broad in the land of everyone want
ing their own way. And it’s a cinch
that everybody can’t have it.
And now Senator Nix, of the 51st
District, has put some pep into the
mix-up over the tax question by de
nouncing Gov. Hardwick as a “com
mon liar.” Lots of people who heard
his campaign promises say ho in a
most uncommon one.
The acting Imperial Wizard of tho
Ku Klux Klan has ordered that none
of its members wear robee and hoods
outside their lodge room. This action
is taken because so many cowardly
cusses who are not members of the
order have masked themselvea in
similar garb and perpetrated all kinds
of outrages.
One of the new professional
psychanalysists in Atlanta claims Du-
Pre, the Peachtree bandit, has only
the brains of a twelve-year-old child.
Yes? But how many twelve-year-
olds has she ever heard of robbing
stores in broad daylight and shooting
down a couple of men to make their
getaway? Some rot!
Encouraged by the fight being
made on President Wilson at home,
the Peace Conference refused
heed his recommendation that a fixed
sum be set as the amount Germany
was to pay for reparations. The
scale was left sliding and indefinite,
and this has been the cause —next
to America’s refusal to join the
League of Nations—that has preven
ted Europe’s return to normalcy and
has brought about the resulting busi
ness depression in our own country.
Calcium Arsenate.
We are in receipt of a long letter
from the Sherwin-Williams Co. ex
plaining the difficulties under which
they are laboring in trying to carry
out their contract to funish our State
Board of Entomology with calcium
arsenate. The demand has been so
unexpectedly heavy that they are
running day and night and are buy
ing from other factories at fancy
prices, in order to meet their con
tract to supply Georgia all she needs
at only 9 cents a pound.
Those farmers who bought from
the calcium arsenate train when it
was here are certainly in luck.
Hon. Joe Hill Hall, of Macon, who
represented Bibb county in the Legis
lature for twenty-two years, died
Saturday. He well earned the title
of “the Watchdog of the Treasury,”
and was one of Georgia’s ablest and
most useful citizens.
Mr. Joe Gaston, a prominent far
mer of Butts county, has been selec
ted by Hon. Cliff Walker as his cam
paign manager in his race for the
nomination for Governor. Mr. Wal
ker returned Saturday from a two
weeks trip through South Georgia,
where he found his prospects for suc
cess very bright indeed.
We’re pained, perturbed, perplexed
—in fact,our feelings are badly hurt.
Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta Jour
nal, published a list of Georgia towns
last week that had entertained the
Georgia Weekly Presa Association.
He left Cedartown out, in spite of the
fact that they never had a better time
anywhere than here. Dawgonit!
Senator Norris and other big Re
publicans on the Senate Agricultural
Committee last week went out of
their way to denounce Henry Ford
as a pirate in turning down his Mus
cle Shoals offer. They were getting
ready to give the property away as
“scrap” to the power trust, when Mr.
Ford brought them to taw with his
offer. And now how they hate him I
There is no typhoid fever in Ce

of Health reports that the disease is

gainst it at once. You suffer little if
any convenience from it, and it cer
tainly beats a long spell of sickness

The Hague Conference has jnst
followed its Genoa predecessor into
history as an apparent failure. It is
probable, however, that all the Euro
pean nations understand one another
better as a result of these gatherings.
In both cases Russia, whose present
rulers have declared against the prin-
ciple of debt-paying, have broken up
the conferences by insisting on get
ting big loans.
The Standard was represented al
the Press Convention in Quitman Iasi
week by Mr. W. S. Coleman,of whon
Mr. J. A. Hollomon, of the Atlanti
Constitution, says: "A press conven
tion in Georgia could not get under
way without him. He doesn’t edit i
newspaper any longer, but his pres
ence is necessary to lead the Virginii
