The meaning of the above para¬

grasped by 150 Georgians in* the
city of Sandersville last week, the
occasion being the annual conven¬

must not forget the latter—lovely

down her gates and thrown the
keys away in order that the editors
might fully realize that the city 1
was their own. Pres. Coleman re
sponded eU quently in the absence
of Mr W. M. Hobby.
The tnorping session was con
eluded by the reading of three in

the association: J. H. Cheney,
Ellaville News; J. C. Williams,
Greeusboro Herald-Journal; P. T.
McCutchen, Franklin News.
At the Thursday afternoon sas

of the Reidsville Journal, enter

In the evening at 8:30 o’clock
one of the most elegant banquets
ever tendered the press gang was
given at the Hotel Julida. The
large rotunda on the ‘second floor
of this magnificent hostelry was
tastefully and artistically deco¬
-ated and at the tables about 800
guests were seated. C.>1. Evans, a
gifted memberAd the Sandersville
bar, was toastmaster. Responses
were made by Senator Steve Clay,
Supreme Court Justice Beverly
Evans, Col. Alt Herrington, Pres.

Franklin of Teutiille, and others.
The Friday morning session was
alivb with interest. An address,
“When Shall the Georgia Press
Begin an Educational Campaign in
This State,” by vV. N. McGehee,
of the Talbotton New Era, and a
forcible and eloquent argument
for local taxation by State School
Commissioner W. B. Merritt, both
brought forth a round of applause,
and several other short addresses

that the Georgia editors are ever

masses.
Friday afternoon from 8 till 5
the entire party, together with
many Sandersville people, visited
Tennille as the guests of Mayor
Hull Franklin and the city, and
were most delightfully entertained
in the lovely city park
Returning to Sandersvifie, in
the evening at 9:80 o’clock Mr.
and Mrs. J. D. Newman enter
tained the party at an elegant re
eeption at their beautiful home,
and the many comforts and luxu
ries placed before us caused all to
put a broad smile on and forget,
for a few hours, that we were
country editors.
Gainesville, the “Queen City of
the Mountains,’’ and Douglas, the
“Gem City of the Wiregrass,’’
were placed in nomination for the
1908 meeting ot the convention,
The claims of each city were pre
sented and Gainesville won after a
close fight.
Pres. W. S. Coleman, who has
safely guided the destinies of the
association the past fourteen yearB,
retired and was succeeded by
Editor II. M. Stanley, of the Dub¬
lin Courier-Dispatch. Mr. Stan¬
ley is one of the most prominent
members of the association, and

office entrusted to his keeping.
Sandersville, the capital of the
good old county of Washington, is
an ideal little city. Forty odd
years ago, when Sherman made
his march to the sea, the now
growing and prosperous city of
3500 inhabitants was only a small
village, and today there stands on
tbe public square a surviual of
that march of devastate because
of the fact that the “square and
compass” was hanging over the
door when the army marched up
to burn the building—-the Masonic
temple. This historic old build-

of the Sandersvil’e Herald, a thriv¬
ing semi-weeklv paper under th u
management ot Mr. J. Edwin Tay¬

field Leader, and it will be a source
of gratification to his many New¬
ton county friends to know that be

home und is held in high esteem
bv those whom he is diligently
serving.
Tbe Progress is another paper in
Sandersville, ably edited by Mr.
C. B. Chapman, and the splendid
patronage he receives has caused
him to prosper dm ing his sixteen
years residence in the capital of
Washington county.
Saudersville has a most excel
lent public school system, electric
lights and waterworks, modern
houses of worship, elegant homes,
four splendid banks, forty or more
business houses, andxin every hand
are to be seen evidences which il¬
lustrate the public spirit and gen¬
erous character of the city’s in¬
habitants. Her citizens are co¬
workers and co-partners, and we
feel sure they have won the high¬
est admiration and best wishes of
every member of the Georgia
Weekly Press Associotion wdio at¬
tended the convention last week.
In that city enterprise and energy
freely commingle with genuine
Southern chivalry and hospitality,
and what more could be desired!
It has been demonstrated time
and again that no State in the
Union is endowed with a greater
variety and abundance cf resources
than the Empire State of the South,
and we are glad that the city of
Sandersville and the county of
Washington, as parts of this grand
old state, have their share. Those

ing people feel a deep interest in
the future welfare of their city
