Mildred Seydell Writes of
Recent Visit to Covington
' ISY MILDRED SEYDELL
(From The Atlanta Georgian)
Lecturing in Covington last
Monday, What recollec.ions it
brought up. Some ten years ago
I gave my first public address
within its borders. Mrs. W. C.
Clark, be ter known in Covington
as Miss Sally, was president of
something or another. During
her life.ime there were always sev
eral important organizations claim
ing her as their leader.
She invited me to speak to one
of her clubs abou. the series of
hand sketches I was writing for
a group of newspapers, I would
examine a celebrity’s hand and tell
the public what I found it repre
sented.
It was a long trip to Covington
.en years ago. I went on the.
train. Monday, by auto, on good j
roads, it was just a pleasant short 1
ride. |
About the lecture, I don’t know!
who was more scared, Miss Sally I
or I. Hers was the responsibility 1
of having invi ed me and mine was
that I had to please. A 40-minute
lot talk of about study; hands, had learned well I put the in talk! a j
by heart. I should have been!
able lo'give it with that
inflection of voice that facial
pression I used to use when Miss
Caroline Cobb (instructor of
matic art) was teaching me at
Lucy Cobb to recite:
“Of all the operas that Verdi
wrote;
The best, to my taste, is
Trovatore;
And Mario could soothe with
tenor note
The souls in purgatory.”
But if you have ever had stage]
fright you’ll know it took all my
mind working overtime to keep
from shaking like an aspen leaf.
After my introduction, when I
got to my feet before my audi- 1
ence I suddenly became aware that
I had forgotten what I wanted to
say.
Fortunately, or maybe for the
audience, unfortunately, I had
brought along my manuscrip .
With trembling fingers I extracted
it from my bag.
When I had finished the ladies
came up to me with prettiest sort
of compliments. And X experi
enced the courteousness of Coving
ton’s citizens. From that day
until this I have loved Covington,
and enjoyed visiting the town.
Since that first appearance, dur
ing the next ten years, I suppose
I have given about a thousand
lectures—I have given as many
as three a day—yet I have never
been scared except that once. I
learned how kind an audience is
—at least to your face.
Last Monday the meeting was
at Mrs. Ernest Callaway’s hospit
able home. When I came in out
of the rain and saw her dressed
in a fetching knit suit of daffodil
yellow, the thought popped in my
head:
“It is not raining rain today,
It is raining daffodils.”
She looked so charming.
The meeting was that of the
Book Club, Mrs. George Cochran,
president, She was dressed in
green which reminded me of the
greens of the water oaks and the
pinee along the way which made
things look like spring.
Mrs. Godfrey, of Madison, pre
sented me to my audience in po
e ic prose. I understood she has
nearly finished another book.
haps you have read and enjoyed
her Christmas Candles. I

great-aun;, Miss Mildred Ruther

were celebrating at the home of
thq Trox Bankstons, my friend,
Mrs. Georgia Vining acted as sec
retary for me and wrote down the
naVnes of the women to whom I
talked.
I was delighted to see her at
the Book Club meeting, but when
it came time to jot down .names
she deserted me—hid out. There
fore, I remember talking to a lot
of interesting and agreeable wo
men whose names I haven’t.
I wish that attractive lady who
chatted so gayly with me and said
that she wanted me to talk longer
would send me her name The
last time I forgot a name and said
coyly, thinking I was clever, please
write your name down, I want to
get the spelling of it right, the
young lady took my note book and

But I did waylay a few of the
school teachers present and got
their signatures. For instance
Mrs. John Bob Weaver, Miss Mary
Trippe, Mrs. Luke Robinson, Jr.,
I was glad tha. ;hey were history
and geography teachers and not
( teachers of English. Teachers of
English make me so conscious of
split infinitives.
I remember when Christopher
Morley was in Atlanta having a
good time talking to a pre.ty
young woman—a teacher of Eng
lish—when suddenly, horrified,
she stopped him with:
‘‘Oh, Mr. Morley, you split an
infinitive!”

Beautiful dreams are immortal,
They seem to come from a spirit

Dreams a beautiful dream — a
beau.iful dream is always unsel

Such a dream was the late O. S.
Porter’s when he thought of the
two miles of road between Coving
and Ponerdale as two miles
0 f beauty, with friendly flowers
bright and cheerful on both sides
of the way. And now that dream
of his is to become a reality. jj.

In Covinigtdn, as I always do, I
in to see my friends on
The Coving.on News. The news -1
paper looked prosperous. Had a
lively chat with the society editor,
Mrs. W. T. Hay. Was grieved to
hear that Belmont Dennis, editor
and publisher of this fine paper,
was at home trying to rid himself
of a disagreeable cold. Luckily
I saw the missus^ Mrs. Dennis, at
the meeting I addressed. We had
a delightful exchange of thoughts
over cups of tea poured for us
by Mrs. J. R. Sams, who assisted
Mrs. George Cochran at the tea
table at the enjoyable social hour
in the home of Mrs. Ernest Cal
laway after the meeting of the
Book Club.
Talking with us were Mrs.
Charles Candler, Mrs. Porter and
Mrs. Sally Wells Fowler, whose
white hair, poetry and organ-play
ing so many of us admire. We
stopped our conversation to listen
to Mrs. Fowler’s daughter-in-law
sing charmingly to the accompani
ment of Walter Stephenson, or
ganist of the Covington Presby
terian Church, and very popular;
The talk in Covington shows
the place is flower-minded. In
the little valley in front of the
attractive garden of Mrs. Cal
laway, in front of those two big
magnolias in her yard, the Garden
Club has begun a garden which
it believes will rival in beauty the
famous Iris Garden in Atlanta, a
prize winner.
With the city’s co-operation, a
hundred rose bushee have already
been planted in town, It is gos
siped about that Thomasville will
have to look to her laurels if she
wants to continue to be called the
R os e City, for Covington is plant
n ,g roses and roses and roses!
And then I was shown the clear
ed lot ready for that post office
building. Quoting from The
Covington News of Friday, the
gth:
“The cost of building the post
offitls, according to the low bid
received, is approximately $24,000
under the appropriation.
“It appears the specifications
call for concrete and tile in places
where granite and marble should
have been used. Concrete and tile
are not as lasting or as beautiful
gs granite and marble, and we
can see no reason for cheapening
the material used in the postoffice
building.
“$65,000 has been alloted for
the Covington postoffice, and
$65,000 should be spent for same.
The citizens of Covington will no;
be satisfied with any building
costing less than the original ap
propriation.
‘‘A telegram was sent to Sena
tors Russell and George and Con
gressman Emmet Owen, protesting
against the cheapening of the post
office. Today we received a re
ply from Congressman Owen, stat
ing he would take the matter up
with the Treasury Department at
once. We feel quite sure the
Senators will also attend to the
request of the citizens of this city,
and we are confident we shall re
ceive our full allotment if the ef
forts of our Congressman and
can prevail.”
That’s right. Covington ought
to have that granite and marble.
And I trust it will be Georgia

About Legislators
Editor Covington News,
Covington, Ga.
We all know that t he Georgia
Legislature is in session. If you
don’t believe i,, just walk into
.he capi-d any time from 9:00
A. M. until 4:00 P. M. and you
will be co..vinced. After looking
lor several days I am
convinced that .he average mem
ber is i ust like '-hey have aiway
been, just average “run of th
mill.” Hut among them are some
really good men. J. W. Culpep
per, of Fayet.e, is a veteran, and
a safe leader. Jim Flynt, who l
has served nearly as long a >.ime|
as Culpepper, JiriT is usually
safe and sound, in the Senate,
Jno. McGehee, is one of the rank
ing leader; alonig with E. R. King,
and Vave Atkipson. The deba.e on
repeal has been very in.eresting
and only time can i.ell the out
come.
There are several young men
in both the house and senate, who
will likely make an impression on
the state.
In the Senate young John j j
Jones> w w Larsen _ Jr-) look
promising. In vhe House Marvin
Griffin, of Decatur County, David
Ansley, of Dekalb, and our own
Representative, Pa, Campbel', 1
may be counted to be heard from. 1

•there to Reedsville to see the new I
prison and farm, I heard sev- I
eral of the committee say that Patj
made two fine speeches at the I
college in Milledgeville and obser-l high
school at Reedsville. From
vation I predict ;hat be will make
an extraordinary lawmaker, He
does not (as many members do)
waste time by useless speaking.
He has good sense and nerve. We
ouight *to be proud of our young
legislator. He was appointed on
several of the most important com
mit*.ees. AN OBSERVER.
Money Bills Are
Next On Docket
Of Legislature
W T ith the liquor question now
considered practically disposed of,
no radical disagreement with the
House being expected at the hands
of the Senate and the Governor,
the question of appropriations will
occupy the major portion of the
legislature's time from now until
adjournment.
Two major items over which dif
ferences in opinion already have
arisen are the appropriations for
common schools and the state farm
department.
The Governor’s figure of four
million dollars Tor common schools
has been hiked to $4,100,000 by
the committee and many members
of the House seem determined to
raise it to four and a half million
dollars, cut ing the farm depart
ment appropriation from $300,000
down to $200,000.
The world often forgets that
man’s life does not consist of
worldly goods. What matters the
wealth a man has if he does not
have good health to enjoy it?
W T hat matters the mines, the farms
the industries, if men do not have
stout hearte and srong arms and
the ability to work them and
keep the old world going?
