Wall the Georgia WMjj I
Press Association
With his bettor half,. ..this C( h (l "'
left Cairo Sunday afternoon the
10th, going up Sunday night- over
the A. B. & A. to Atlanta on our
way to attend the meeting of Yhe
Georgia ^Weekly Press Association
which codvcned in Decatur,
iculinglihe mountuin on ttie inelini
side. Some went only a few him
fired shards up, some two-thirds
and some continued to the top.
The business session Tuesday
night at Agnes Scott Chapel ehdei
the 'business sessions in Decatur
Wednesday morning wo bade adieu
with real regret to Decatur and
our cHarmiht' hosts. If all the
editors and their wives and daugh
ters were ns delightfully entertaiii-
m wife :
very
require a very urgent invitation on
tHfc part of Decatur to secure an
other meeting of the association
It is our opinion that Decutui
might easily make the claim of
being. theYfrettiest residence town*
iii the state. There is plenty of
evidencc.tbo., to indicate that they
have a wide-awake citizenship. We
fell heartily in- love with Decatur
and her people.
After our return t o Atlanta
Wednesday morning we boarded
special cars that had been provided
foe us and went out to Lakewood
to the Southeastern Fair Grounds.
Here the concluding business ses
sion of our meeting was held, after
which wc wore given an informal
luncheon by the Atlanta Chamber
of Commerce. At this last meet
ing officers were elected for the
coming yenr. Except that Mr.
Paul F. Callahan; of Decatur was
elected 2nd Vice-President there
were no changes in the officers
frOm the previous year. After
a somewhat spirited contest during
I he nomination speeches in which
the, Chatsworth, Cordcle,
Statesboro ancL Thomasville were
bidding for thisnext-place of meet
ing, before the vote was put ajl the
ofner places withdrew in favor of
Thomasville and.the next meeting
was unanimously voted to our
neighboring town.
Atlanta never does things by
halves and the luncheon that her
Chamber of commerce had provid
ed jointly for the Press Association
and the Governor and members of
the legislature, left nothing to be
desired. Mr. Robt. F. Maddox,
who in his capacity as toast master
took occasion to explain to the
members of the legislature, that if
there was something missing from
the feast that they had been ac
customed to have served on former
similar occasions, that they had
only themselves to blame for it.
As the weekly press had a very
large part to do with seeing that
these legislators did just the thing
they did do, it is . not to be sup
posed that the brothers of the press
had any kick coming. We noticed
that a great many of them even
left the “Muscadine Punch” un
touched.
A look at the preparations that
arc going on will convince any one.
that the management of the South
eastern' Fair Association intend to
hold a fair second to none. It is
projected on a magnificent scale,
and the progress being made indi
cates that they will be in readiness
next October to hold one of the
biggest fairs ever held in the south.
Returning to Atlanta in the af
ternoon the balance of the day was
spent in vurious ways by the mem
bers. This editor and his wife
spent most of the afternoon with,
friends and sound the time of leav
ing at nine o’clock for Savannah,
coming all too soon.
Arriving without particular inci
dent at Savannah next morning or
schedule tim s the party went first
to the Savannah Hotel, from where
at ten o’clock wc were taken ii
hand by Mr. Sutliffe of the Savan
nah Press and Mr. Bell of the
Morning News, and for the balance
of the day we were the guests of
these splendid gentlemen and the
hospitable city of Savannah. A
ride out to Thunderbolt and the
„ Monday night the. 17 th. Monday cdas was this editor and .his
we spent in Atlanta sight’seeing, we are very sure that iT will not
and incidentally looked in on the
Georgia legislature. Not to com
ment at length on this body, we
came away, more convinced than
ever, that Biennial Sessions arc a
much needed change in Our state,
V>’c were introduced by our rep
resentative, Mr. Barber, to. a good
many legislators and politicians
gathered about the .Kimball house,
lobby. This seemed to be one of
the busiest places in ’Atlanta..
We looked iti on thp headquart
ers of Governor Harris’ Campaign.
This is in charge of Mr. C. W.
Parker, of Waycross. Mr. Parker
and his helpers all seemed very
optimistic: of the outlook and
seemed to think that while some
others were making a great deal
more noise, that the great silentt
vote of the state is going to stand
behind our.veteran Governor.
Late Monday afternoon wc
boarded the trolley for Decatur.
On arrival there wc were met by
Mr; Paul Callahan, of the DeKnlb
New Era and his Boy Scout help
ers, and soon were whisked awa;
to our splendid home while
Decatur \vith, Mr. and Mrs. W. J.
Say ward. 'Here we were so warm
ly...welcomed. tlinViVi} were prepared
for-all'the goocT^thihgs''"that'"the
people of Decatur had in store for
us while among them, -jo.
The first session of the meeting
was held at the Court House Mon
day night. We were welcomed to
Decatur in a splendid address by
Hon. L. J. Steele, Mayor of Deca
tur. This was fittingly replied to
by Mr. Ralph Meeks, editor of the
Carrollton Free Press.
If it were passible in this brief
narrative, we would be glad to
give a full outline of the address
made at this first session by Hon.
Chas. D. McKinney, of Decatur,
on “Cooperation of Home Papers
and Boards of Trade.” We may
decide elsewhere in this issue to
give a brief outline of this stirring
lecture.
Tuesday morning we met for our
business session in the Chapel of
Agnes Scott College. Beside raat-
tere of routine business we had the
pleasure of listening to. brief ad
dresses by C. M. Mcthvin, Clifford
Grubbs, A. S. Hardy/Franc Man-
gum, Johnnie H. Jones and others.
The program was most delightfully
varied by a number of vocal num
bers by Miss Ruth Oppenheim of
Atlanta.
At the noon hour we were invit
ed to the home of the Decatur
Athletic Club, where we were
bounteously served with a good old
fashioned Barbecue. In spite of
the down pour of rain during all
the. forenoon that. interforred in
some degree with the committee
having the preparation of the “cue”
jn hand and driving us indoors for
the serving of it, we fared sumpt
uously. Immediately after the
barbecue a trip out to Stone Moun
tain by trolley was on the program.
We were to have been given an
address while out there by Mr,
Gutzon Borgium, tfic sculptor,
who is to carve the cliff side of the
mountain into a great- Memorial,
but-owing to the late arrival of the
sculptor and the further fact of the
recent rains having, made the cliff
side of the mountain largely inac-
-cessible we did not attempt a visit
-.to thatside, but spent our time in
CAIRO, GRADY COUNTY, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, JULY 28, 1910.

evening after arriving at Tybee, we

Tybee Pavillion. At ten o’clock
the boat was scheduled to return
to Savannah. Some of us how
ever did not wait for the boat but
returned to the city on the Tybee
train. Having had such round of
entertainment the previous day as
to be prevented from enjoying a
dip in the surf at Tybee, the Prog
ress folks, as well as a great many
of the others of the party returned
to Tybee Friday morning to enjoy
“old briney” before returning

Woman Lawyer
Bill is Passei
So far as the lower house of the
general assembly is concerned
women in the future will be per
mitted to practice law in the courts
of Georgia on a basis of equality
with men, the Cooper bill to that
effect having passed that body yes
terday by a vote of 131 to 36.
Vote on the measure was not
completed, however, until after a
session of oratory and debate such
ns the house had not previously en-r
gaged since it was convened.
On-the calendar for Thursday
morning were tho tax equalization
act repeal bill nnd consideration of
proposed legislation for the creation
of a highway commission. By re
port of the commission on rules,
which was adopted, however, the
tax equalization repeal matter was
set ahead as a special and contin
uing order for next Wednesday,
and the debate on the woman law
yer bill crowded the highway com
mission bill off tho order of pro
ceedings for the day.
The highway commission bills
will be first on the calendar for
consideration this morning. These
measures will probably consume
today’s session.
It was under tho head of “unfin
ished business” that the house re
sumed the debate on the woman
lawyer question. This bill was be
fore tho liouso Wednesday, with
Beck, of Murray, in possession of
the floor when adjournment time
came. Mr. Beck resumed h is
speech of Wednesday."?
“Tlus matter, ,r Tie 'began, “has
been before the legislature of Geor
gia for so long that the memory of
man runneth not to the contrary.”
He then launched upon a line of
argument to prove that woman has
always exercised a power for good.
“Make Woman Somebody”
“Woman has elevated the kitch
en,” he declared, and then “take
woman in history; woman in the
Bible,” he said, “and she has al
ways made good in every calling.
“The lawyers,” he declared,
"have tried to use woman as a dis
infectant, and nothing else. Give
woman a legal status,” he cried,,
“and make her a somebody.”
At times during the debate,
which was participated in by more
than a dozen members, order was
thrown to the winds and the house
was plunged into chaos by applause
and laughter. The speaker fre
quently cautioned the galleries
against applause and demonstra
tion. Several times he fairly pleaded
with the members of the house to
refrain from further violation of
the rules against applauding. But
it was useless for him to attempt
to suppress laughter at times. The
provacation to mirth was so great
on a half-dozen occasions that the
presiding officer became a party to
the good-humored disorder.
Stark Loses Ally
.Stark of Jackson heard frequently
Wednesday in colloquy with speak
ing friends of the bill, yesterday
took the floor against it. His chief
illy, Representative Conner, of
Spalding,"\vho Wednesday made"'a
most impassioned speech against
the bill, changed sides.
Connor was silent throughout
yesterday's debate and the house
wondered. When his name was
called during the aye and nay vote,
utilizing the three minutes’ privi
lege to explain votes, he arose in
his place and said:
“Gentlemen, I desire at this time
to offer an explanation of what I
am about to do. Yesterday I
