W. MASTEN, Mgr. Covington, Ga. (Our Advertisers Are Assured of Results) 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.
