Just A Moment
By LAMAR Q- BALL
McGILL BOBS UP. ANYWHERE
—Uncle Joe Stalin never knows
i the minute he might look up and
find Ralph McGill being ushered
in through the side door of the
Kremlin. The folks in Budapest
or in Palestine or in Addis Ababa
have grown accustomed, as the
roar of an airplane attracts their
squint to the sky, to the sight of
Ralph McGill bouncing buoyant
ly down among them.
McGill’s master passion is
furious activity. He rilns to and
fro around the world,, verifying
personally everything he has ;
ever read in a geography, a his- ;
tory or a news report. He seems i
unwilling to accept anything as
a fact until he has had a chance l
to talk it over with several prime
ministers, a dictator or two, the 1
generals of all the armies, taxi-1
cab drivers, the Pope, bartenders,
i
I innkeepers and newspapers men
who were actually at the scene
when the event happened, if Mc
j Gill unluckily missed it. Readers
।of The Atlanta Constitution are
beginning to realize that the
world is nothing more than a
few grains of sand and a few
drops of water completely en
circled by Ralph McGill in an
airplane.
I was started the other day to
encounter him on the streets of!
Atlanta.
“Tm I in Mespotamia" I asked
in astonishment, “Or, are you
actually in Atlanta”'
We checked with compass, a
map of the world he had in his
pocket and the names on the
street corner signs before either
of us was certain.
‘And where will you be during
the next few' months of tumult
। in Georgia?” I asked- “Did word ;
slip through to you overseas that
we are in the process of selecting ;
another Governor for our state? ,
Have they told you that the only <
issue in this election, besides the <
habitual talk about honest gov- ]
ernment, is whether in the 170th (
year of our independence and de- 1
dication to the rights and privi- <
leges of all men should permit a
certain section of the population 1
to vote? Will you be in Chunk- <
king or in Atlanta w’hile we <
argue these issues?” (
“I’ll be right here,” he said | (
with a nod, pointing a finger at r
the Georgia soil. ,
That was comforting news. Me- I
Gill always contribute heavily ;
to the excitment of an election. ;
He never runs for anything, but s
neither does he ever run from c
anything, particularly a tussle in- t
volving a better break for all t
Georgians. I remember having t
worked rather diligently on one I
campaign, not so long ago, when t
the big issue seemed to involve c
' the judgment of the Howells in ■ c
. employing Ralph McGill as the 1
editor of their newspaper. The (
people of Georgia voted over- j
THE COVINGTON NEWS
whelmingly in support of the
Howell judgment.
ON HIRING EDITORS—The
Howells of Georgia—from Evan
P. Howell down through the
Clark Howells—seem to have a
knack for judging editors. They
picked Henry Grady and they
picked McGill, and those two
selections have been as note
worthy on the pay-off as any
thing old Colonel Bradley of
Kentucky has picked in the field
of horse flesh. Both Grady and
McGill have combined a gluttony
for work with a rugged under
standing of what it takes to make
a newspaper tick with its read
ers.
Grady loved to travel to spots
where news was breaking. So
does McGill. Grady was forever
chartering special trains to speed
himself, some assistants, and
some interested guests to the
scene of some outstanding news
story. The Wright brothers have
given McGill the airplane’s ad
vantages, enabling him to get to
a gathering in London or Moscow
almost as quickly as Grady was
able to arrive at the scene of an
earthquake in South Carolina. Os
course, transportation and wage
costs being what they are today,
McGill travels without benefit of
entourage and arrives at his des- '
tination alone, as Grady seldom I
did.
Grady, of course, had a better
financial arrangement. He be
came one-fourth owner of The
Constitution on a stake of $20,-
000. while in McGill’s day $20,-
000 wouldn't go very far around
The Constitution office. Grady
was the better orator and the
better schemer, while McGill has
an un-Grady like diffidence and
a congenital distaste for
schemes. The various generations
of the Howells can be praised for
their refusal to hedge their edi
tors in with barbed-wire en
tanglements. Both Grady and
McGill were told to hop to it and
they did; with the full confidence
of employers who have given
complete support to men they
have sleeted as trustworthy. Mc-
Gill lives in a more contentious ।
and highly organized age. Grady i
■ was voluble in a rather mute
South.
IF GRADY WERE ALIVE.—I get
। a laugh today when McGill
> treads on the sensitive toes of
l some, politician. The favorite
, yelp of the victim is about how
The Constitution has slid down
hill ‘since it sat up there, mah
> friends, a distinguished, fair
minded journal of public opinion,
I fit to be rated with the best
f newspapers of this land. That,
I mah friends, was during the days
I of that great genius Henry W.
. Grady.”
Sometimes, I wonder if Grady
. would have dealt as kindly as
McGill deals with some of the
I political mountebanks of today.
. When Grady started to pitch, he
, i threw everything that wasn’t
. fastened down in The Constitu
tion building. McGill actually
gives his opponent a better
. break, and has to recover less
; debris.
If Grady were here today as
some of the old-timers wish, he
, and McGill would be traveling
around together, having a lot of
; ironic laughs and doing some
choice causing together at times
over the ineptitude of certain
Georgians who are still blocking
the road that leads to the build
ing of The New South.

BITS OF SOUTHERN
SUNSHINE
By MAMIE OZBURN ODUM
WE, the American people are
| prone to “Borrow” trouble, the
I present only belongs to us, of all
TIME, past, present and future,
the MOMENT we breathe is
| rightfully ours, to worry over or
enjoy is our privilege too.
The Past is now history,
whether we accomplished any
thing worthwhile is still up to
the individual, it has gone, and
nothing dona, or said, or things
we mean to do can be altered.
The future is only a prospective
record to be made and moulded
as we would like.
The influence of TODAY .
and this MINUTE may touch the
very gates of hell, or the portals
of Heaven, and reach the realms
of eternity, still it is up to the
। individual to make it a perfect
moment, or mar with a deed or
! word that cannot be recalled. To
' morrow may remove heavy bur
dens, ease excess pain, and rest
burdened shoulders, but it is
only duties of this day that de
mand out best, though it be good
or bad. To try to meet tomorrow
results only in failure, the Pre
sent is OURS . . . how will we
' spend it?
j Love came to me richly today
I I felt the warmth of its glow,
Awakening the field of thought
Where many thorns did grow
। Sunbeams came gently stealing
To light my darkened way
' As like a rainbow painted
On my bluest, darkest day.
The seed that had been nourished
Now budded forth in bloom,
And each petal opened gently
Bearing its rich perfume.
I watched this lovely miracle
Unfold as a radiance divine,
I saw the opening rose-of love 1
And drew within my hallowed;
shrine!
