SUBSCRIPTION RATES IN ADVANCE: ONE YEAR— —— six Months T l-> Guaranteed Circulation 1968 Winder, Ga., July 21, 1921. 112 Candler Street —Telephone No. 73 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.
