Notes on the Press Convention
W. G. Sutlive, of the Savannah Press, was unani
mously elected president for the next two years. He
will make an ideal presiding officer.
Washington Ims a splendid Country Club "which is
a great help to the city in their efforts to entertain
any visitors. Winder needs such an organization.
The association, for the first time in its history
elected n woman to office. Miss Emily Woodward
was thus honored by being elected third vice
dent.
There is no more popular official of the association
than Hal. M. Stunley, Corresponding Secretary. Cour
teous and obliging he is the master of details. There
,
is none like him.
Washington-Wilkes has a pardonable pride in the
achievement of its sons and daughters In the history
of Georgia. Wherever they have gone or whenever
they have neen called upon they hare illustiated their
city and their county.
Editor Rush Burton of tbe La Von i a Times, made a
splendid light for the 1922 meeting, and but for the
fact that the meeting had been held in North and
Middle Georglu for several years would probably have
won out.
Tlie Ninth Georgia District was well represented
at the press meeting. If we had only had Brother
Townsend, of Dalilonega, along the circle would have
been complete.
They say that Uncle John Shannon, of Commerce,
after taking ills annual bath at Tybee was hardly
recognized by his friends, so great was the change
made by the ocean waves. Great is Tybee.
Claude Cook, of the Winder News, is a bold and
fearless bather. They say lie got in water somewhat
over his ankles at Tybee, and was In danger at one
time but was rescued by some lovdly maiden.
The next meeting of the Association goes to Quit
man, in South Georgia. Editor Royal Daniel and
his talented wife, Mrs. Edna Cain Daniel, made a
light for the meeting that swept aside all opposition.
We are sure Quitman will fulfill every expectation.
The Geogla Railroad, the Central of Georgia and
other railroads of the state were exceedingly kind
to the press gang. Sam Wilkes of the Georgia, and
Jack McCartney, of the Central, left no stone un
turned to make the trip pleasant. No cleverer men
can be found anywhere.
W. G. Sutlive fills the bill thoroughly as president.
He’s our idea of a presiding officer. Skilled in par
liamentary law, quick-witted and tactful, he meas
ures up to every requirement that the office of pres
ident demands.
The debate between Jack Patterson, of the Atlanta
Journal, and Miss Emily Woodward, of the Vienna
News, was hotly contested. Miss Woodward won out,
as she proved that she had had several chances to
marry and refused them, while Jack was unuble to
prove that he had ever had a chance. The subject
debated was “Why I have never married.”
The custom of the association In advancing its vice
presidents nlong until they become president was at
tacked at the meeting tills year. Many members are
of the opinion that the vice presidents should not be
confined only to those who are qualified for the office
of president. The vice-presidents arc honorary offi
cers and these offices could Be dished out to those
who do not measure up to qualifications of a presi
dent. * | .v
The new officers of the association are W. G. Sut
live. of the Savannah Tress, president; C. D. Rountree,
of the Wrlgbtsvllle Headlight, Ist vice president;
Ernest Camp, of the Walton Tribune, 2nd vice presi
dent ; Miss Emily Woodward, of the Vienna News, 3rd
vice president; C. E. Benns. of the Butler Herald,
secretary; J. J. Howell, of the Cuthbert Leader,
treasurer; H. M. of the Dublin Courler-Her
hid, corresponding secretary. All excellent official*.
With the Georgia Editors
Monday morning of last week we left Winder for
Washington, Ga.. to attend the meeting of the Georgia
Press Association. At Atlanta we fell in with quite
a hunch of the North Georgia boys, some with their
wives and some with their daughters, and the trip
to Washington over the old reliable Georgia Railroad
was just as pleasant as the courteous oflicials ft that
excellent road could make it. #
At Washington, the entire city seemed to he at the
depot to welcome the visitors. All the streets near
the station were lined with cars and it looked like
there were enough to give every editor a car to him
self. It was our pleasure to he a guest in the excel
lent home of Col. and Mrs. (’has. H. Calhoun. They
have a beautiful home on one of the main streets dt
the city, and hospitality, such as only true Georgians
know how to dispense, was extended to the editor of
the News and Mr. C. 11. Cook, his co-worker on the
paper. Col. Calhoun is one of the leading lawyers of
Washington, is solicitor of the city court of that place,
and stands high among the attorneys of the Washing
ton bar. His excellent wife is a daughter of Dr.
John L. Durham, of Woodville, Ga., and a granddaugh
ter of Hon. W. P. McWhorter, one of the wealthiest
and most prominent citizens of Greene county. Ye
editor was glad to be a guest in the home of his kith
and kin in the historic town of Washington, AA ilkes.
On Tuesday, the editors were given a magnificent
barbecue by tire town of Tignall, one of the thriving
little cities of Wilkes county about ten miles north
of Washington. Tignall turned out in gala style and
gained for itself a large place in the hearts of the
press of the state. The splendid hospitality of this
enterprising little city formed one of the brightest
occasions in the 1021 meeting of the Georgia Editors.
The entertainment of the people of Washington
was great. No city in the state could excel it. The
splendid luncheon given the editors at the Country
Club Tuesday, night, and the entertainment following
were the best we have ever enjoyed. AVe were again
the guests of the city at the country club for iuncr:
eon AA'eduesdny at noon, and of the Chamber of Com
merce at the Masonic building in the evening. Both
were great.
AA’ashington is one of the most historic towns of
Georgia. Here lived and died Robert Toombs, and his
spacious home is one of the interesting buildings of
bygone times. “Toouibs Oak” stands out iu front of
tile lot on the sidewalk and is one of the objects of
interest to the visitor. The "Mary Willis” library is
one of the best institutions of its kind in the state and
is sufficiently endowed to be kept up without any
dues. Washington is a city of paved streets and well
kept homes, showing the culture and refinement of
its people. AVe doubt if the Press Association has
ever had a more charming hostess than this beautiful
and progressive city of AA'ilkes county. Every visitor
went away singing her praises and expressing undy
ing affection for her hospitable people.
Tn e press party left Washington Thursday morning
for Augusta, where a splendid barbecue together with
a drive over the city was extended them. Every min
ute of the time in Augusta was enjoyed and the hospi
tality of this great Georgia city was as tine as it could
be.
Thursday night the editors took train for Savannah
and woke up Friday morning in this beautiful “City
by the Sea.” A charming and delightful breakfast was
given the party by the Savannah Morning News out
at Thunderbolt Friday morning and an equally as
enjoyable “Shore Dinner” was extended the visitors
by the Savannah Press out at Tybee Friday after
noon.
Savannah is one of the beautiful and historic cities
of Georgia and her two great newspapers, the Savan
nah Morning News and the Savannah Press, are
among her greatest institutions. They captivated ev
ery Georgia editor and words are inadequate to ex
press our appreciation of the coutesles exteuded. The
party broke up Friday night, some remaining over at
Tybee for the week-end and others returning to their
homes Saturday morning. Ye editor reached home
Sunday night feeling that AYashington, Augusta and
Savannah had given the Georgia editors the best of
their lives.
Tying the Farmer Up in Politics.
AA’hat the diverse recommendation of Commissioner
J. J. Brown of the state department of agriculture, Mr.
Chas. A. Barrett, president of the Farmers l the
Cotton Growers Co-operative Association, the State
Agricultural College, the Georgia Farm Bureau Fed
eration, newspaper editors, et al, the Georgia farmer
'who is seeking advice about the cotton problem is
confronted with “confusion worse confounded. "—Jack
son Progress-Argus.
“The poor farmer is certainly catching it on all
sides," remarks the Dawson News in commenting upon
the above. “AA'ith rival organizations, institutions
and politicians bombarding him with propaganda, eat h
promising to lead him to greater prosperity if lie will
align himself with and support their particular “move
ments,’ the farmer is having a devil of a time. Be it
said to his credit, however, he has learned some few
things himself and these things do not impress him
as they once did. He knows that his success depends
on his own industry and good management, and he is
going along in an even tenor, minding his own busi
ness and producing more than ever Indore, while these
bureaus and things quarrel among themselves as to
which shall be his guardian angel. Oue of the big
gest fights at the approaching session of the legis
lature promises to be between some of these rival
saviors of the farmer." —Vidalia Advance.
