Night 147 VOL 7., 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. NO. 10 sip of hope, (some of the part? liscovered here that 'i'ybec wai nit the only place that could live ip to FranciMangum’s description) was the first’feature of our enter tainment. Returned from this boarded a boat that had been "f>: vided for the purpose and began r rip to places of interest about thi •ivCr front in Savannah including he huge new and up-to-date docks if the Ocean Steamship Company We watched one of the liners loafi ng for Boston. We saw where wqri^ was going on for the erection jf tha bjg sugar refinery anfi also ;or the erection of the cotton com jress plant that' when • completed, vill occupy all told about one rundred ncres. The trip was con- inued out to Tybeo by boat. Vfter boarding file boat at Savan nah we were served lunch o n board. At seven o’clock in the evening after arriving at Tybee, we were given a delightful fish dinnei n the spacious dining hall of the 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 home. AH in all it. was a royal good trip, and we are duly appreciative of the efforts of the good people of Decatur,■" Atlanta and Savannah aud of the railroads of the state to insure us a pleasurable outing.

Several friends from Savannah will join them and a congenial house party will be formed. A treat is in shore for you at the School Auditoriugn Friday night at 8:33. 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.
