The people arc getting accustomed

longer.

The Georgia Editors
At Newnan, Washington, Asheville,
New York and Other Points.
The twelfth annual reunion of the
Georgia Weekly Press Association
convened at Newnan at the appoint
ed time, at 10 a. in. on the 13th
instant, with about 175 members in
attendance.
At the appointed hour the opera
house was thrown open and was soon
filled to overflowing with delegates
and the good people of Newnan,
both ladies and gentlemen. The
house was called to order by presi
dent W S Coleman, whereupon lion.
.J S Powell, mayor of Newnan, arose
and delivered the keys of the city to
the visitors. Then Mr. Edgar T
Whatley delivered an address of
welcome in his easy and eloquent
style in which he cited Newnan as
the richest per capita city in the
State. He proposed to turn over
everything in the city to the associ
ation except Newnan’s fair daugh
ters. The address was responded to
by lion, llobt. 1. Moye, ot 1 lie Cuth
iicrt. Liberal Enterprise. Mr. Moye
said that after a year subsisting on
hog and hominy, blackberries, pos
sum and ’taters the average weekly
editor was quite prepared to avail
himself of a large per cent, of the
city's per capita of wealth. In his
humorous way he referred to that
part of Mr. Whatley's address which
mentioned the ladies, as absurd,
that he had known “Whatley” for
forty years and he had not even a
fair damsel of his own to control
and that lie assumed too much when
lie offered to control all the beauty
of Ne will'll. (Mr. Whatley is a
bachelor.)
The business session was one of
much interest. The office of Cor
responding Secretary was aoolished,
and the duties of that office will de
volve upon the president. Mr. P T
McKutcheoa lias been efficiently
filling that office for a number of
years.
The Chronicle’s representative
was entertained at the Pinson House
in a royal manner. Quite a number
of delegates were entertained here,
among them was Mrs. Maria Louise
Mv.ick, editor of Americas Timcs
Recorder. Mrs. Myrick is one of
Georgia’s pets and is the life of
everything whereever she goes.
After the business was concluded
through the courtesy of Atlanta and
West Point railroad the vis’tovs and
citizens of Newnan departed on cars
for Pearl Spring Park, a distance of
three miles, where genuine old time
Georgia barbecue was served. The
writer will never forget (his sight.
Meats of all kinds were spread upon
tables prepared for the occasion and
it is needless to say the editor did
ample justice to himself and the
barbecue.
On the morning of the 14th, at
the request of the building commit
tee, we visited Newnans new baptist
chuicli. This structure is built en
tirely of Georgia marble at a cost of
*30,00b and is one of the handsom
est structures in the state.
Then we were conducted through
(he shops of the It P Cole Manu
facturing Company. The Coles,
while they manufacture grist mills,
gins and other things make a special
ty of engines and boilers and theirs
are superior to most others. Their
plant is the largest in the state and
lias long been established. To them
is due largely the erection of the
marble church and other prominent
institutions of I he city. We some
how regretted to leave Newnan as it
was made so homelike to us, imt at
3:00 o'clock p. m. we bill our kind
liostes and the many Newnamtes,
who had made it so pleasant for us,
adieu and took the train for Atlanta
where we departed in a bod)' for
Chattanooga and Washington.
Our party reached Chattanooga in
time to visit Chickamauga Park, and
Lookout MouiPam before night.
Our cars were so crowded that 27 of
the party got no berths, the Chron
icle's representative was one of the
27, but we attained comfortable
quarters at the hotel till 3:00 o’clock
the next morning when -‘extra' !

Salisburg N C, Lynchburg Va, Char
lottsville and Ashville N C, arriving
at Washington near the middle of
the day.
Among the places visited at Wash
ington were. The capitol, Pension
Ruilding, New Congressional Library,
White House, Smithsonian and Na
tional institute, Treasury lluilding,
Washington’s Monument and the
Navy Yard. Of all the places to
make an American citizen feel proud
safe and secure it is the Navy Yard.
There you can see them making the
largest guns used on both land and
sea. Among some of the guns were
the 13-inch guns the largest made.
One of them will .weigh 100 tons, it
cost the government $80,000 to
build one and cost $10,000 every
time it is shot. The test of one of
these gens 20.000 yards the ball
passed through 18 inches of the best
steel 5 feet of oak wood and hurried
itself 54 feet in the sand. It is no
wonder that Dewey and Schley could
annihilate the antiquated Spanish
snips so easily.
Last but not least to be seen wee
the old homes of George Washing
ton and ltobt. E Lee at old Mt. Ver
non and Arlington. We visited the
home of Lee first. The grounds
surrounding this old home are now
being used for a National cemetery.
It is kept up by the government and
no pains are spared to keep it in
good condition and preserve its origi
nal condition as far as possible.
Rut to old Mt. Vernon overlooking
the Potomac, the home of George
Washington. This old home is
kept up by a benevolent society,
and its originality is preserved.
There you see the trees set out by
Washington himself, his deer park,
ins flower garden, his old farm
chairs, his sitting room and his li
brary, his carriage, his old well with
the old oaken bucket, his beautiful
walks, his family hurrying ground
and bis grave. It is useless to un
dertake a description further there is
not enough space in the entire paper
to tell half of what I saw and felt
around this old home.
(Continued in next issue.)
Copy for change of “ad” must be
in tiio office not later than Tuesday
morning to insure insertion. If you
have fiiends visiting you call up
telephone 44 and tell us about it.
