"OLD BILL" KEELER ATTENDS
COUNTRY CLUB OPENING.
O. B. Kepler in Atlnnla .Imirnnl.
"Wp tire in nn crn of rnpiii progress,”
nniil H. D. f:olp, president of tlic Newnnn
Country Club, making tbo wplcomo ail-
draw Friday evening nt tins rlub’n for-
mnl opening, "iniil II prlmo fcnliiro of
this progress in our learning bow to piny
—to gnin tlio benefits of rocrcnlion; in n
word, to live happy, healthy, well-round-
cd liven. Thin olub in your club, design-
oil to IidIji nil of us in tlint. direction.
We wplcome you to ypur club ; use it
freely.’ ’
Tills exce|#tioiinlly sound and fnr-Biglit-
oil pronouncement wan addronseil to one
of the finest gatherings I have ever seen;
between six anil eight hundred citizens
of Newnnn and Coweta county, assem
bled for the opening reception of the
Newnnn Country Club—the most recent
and certainly one. of tbo finest of tjie
country dubs of the State.
Ncwimn anil Coweta county have step
ped out nil of a sudden. Through the
fine vision of a number of leading men,
they have now a golf nnd country club
that would be a distinct credit to n city
of throo times the size of Newnnn,
though it iiiunt be rccnllcd that this fine
old town of 7,000, lacking loss than n
decode of its centennial nnnivorsnry, nlno
is ono of the wealthiest cities in the
United Staten, its per capita wonltli
rating fourth the Inst time such u census
was compiled.
An odd nnd most nttrnc.tivo combina
tion is Newnnn, on old town of the old
8onth, with its always plensnnt refine
ment nnd culturo, and nt the snme tiino
a most prosperous businosn nnd mnnu-
fnoturing town. And tlio now club Is
typical of tlio town nnd Its spirit—n
thoroughly correct nnd nttrnetlvo club,
on a thoroughly sound nnd business-like
foundation, sponsored by men—and wo
men—of business nnd executive nbility,
ns well ns characterized by n flno devo
tion to the best nnd highest interests of
the community.
"It's your club, citizens of Cowotn,"
sold Mr. Cole, "nnd wo wnot you to use
it freely.' ’
I think tliei-o in not the leant doubt
of tho free usn of the Newnnn Country
Club. Tin nttrnetlvonoBB begins with the
drive from the city—n fine concrete ronil
tlmt. extends northward from Newnnn
six miles, the club being situated three
milps from town—n matter of nix or
npvoii minutes of tinny driving by motor
a gently sloping mill curving rend
thnt invites u plensnnt speed with safety
mid comfort. They lire putting in grass
oiling the edges of the concrete—that is
clinincterintic of the artistic thorough
ness with which they do tilings ill Cow
eta enmity.
This correspondent hntl the pleasure of
attending the opening reception ul the
club house Friday evening, ns the guest
of Mr. T. H. Pnrrotl, secretary nnd
trenniiror of the club, null one of the well-
known " wheel-horses'' of the organiza
tion. I must charge that Mr. Parrott,
niiled nnd abetted liv Mrs. Pnn-O'tt nnd
a wonderful chef, enme nenr to betraying
me In one /llreetlon—thnt Is to sny, enr-
nmei ailto,
Mr. Parrott and I were out nt the chili
grounds in the afternoon, taking u look
at the great swimming pool mid Hie gelt’
course, and the proposed site for the gun
club, mid our Inspection of the club-
house took us (by reason of Tom-Par
rott's unerring instinct, I fancy,) to a
certain place where were displayed •many
beniitiful cakes, several of them caramel,
which Is tlie kind of enke most favored
Viy Jove us it stabilizer In hi? ambrosial
revels on Olympus.
1 inform™! Mr. Parrott thnt this wns
something to fight, bleed anil die for;
end thnt the evening’s low, descending
suit would see mo on linnd, ready for the
fray.
This was reckoning without my host,
and hostess, however. Following au af
ternoon silent lit tbo elub-houso nnd
grounds, 1 went home with Mr, Parrott
with nil excellent nppoHto. nnd by the
time T had started haek for the recep
tion, nnd tlio cnrnmcl enko, T had so far
HUocunihod to fried - chicken nnd country
limn nnd twenty little brawn biscuits nnd
snlud nml lee cronm nnd other coniestl-.
hies thnt. T wns up against the well-
known physical axiom regarding tho un
feasibility of emislng two objects to
occupy tho same space at tho same time.
It looked blue for the caramel enke just
then-, and 1 recalled Mint, while 1 did
ent caramel enko in n fair proportion,
there remained some dozen or fifteen
enkes to ho auctioned off during tlio sub
sequent proceedings.
This would never have happened ox-
eept for Hint remnrknblo dinner set by
"Br’or Sims” at Mr. Parrott’s thnt
o veiling.
Now, a little about the club-house nt
which this brilliant opening wns hold,
nnd the grounds about it.
The Newnnn Country Club represents
nt leant a $-10,000 plant, on 00 ncrcs of
land Hint lins licen producing n bole of
cotton to tho acre—or a slindo better.
Yon may imagine it will produce turf
for golfing fairways—you mny see tho
old Bermuda taking hold and spreading
right now; nnd most of tbo putting
greens already are in fine condition. It
'in n full-sized nine-hole,course, of well
out places on n rug at homo, swinging;
and took Harry Vnrdon’s style, bit by
hit, from the ground up, nnd swung hun
dreds and thousands of times; until she
couldn’t swing nny other way.
And nhe hits the ball with it, too—
clean, straight, shots; mid she is said to
be tlie only Nottnnn golfer thnt. lias
brought hack a cup thus far; she won it
in Athintn. by the way. I watched ho
rnlike n 8 on u -100-ynrd hole, with never
n shot off the lino; nnd I made a pic
ture of tho buck-swing, which corrobor
ates my visual observation of the nccu-
rncy with which bIic copied Vurdon a
swing; nnd, for instance, tho grip. I
think Newnnn 'n masculine golfers—Car-
land Jones mid Tom Parrott and the
rest—will Jmvc their work rut out to
hold tliolr own 111 other fields with Mi-b.
Atkinson nnd her Vnrdon swing.
The pool is said to be tlie largest con
crete pool in the South, 78 by 100 fcet;
ill a ptnc grove, with adequate facilities
ill every <vny—dressing rooms and so on.
And Tom Fisher, a mighty trnpsliontcr,
pointed out tho little vnlley where it is
proposed to establish the traps, so tlie
shooting muy be ngninst n hillside, with
a lino background from every angle.
They intend to make the Newnnn
Country Club nil kinds of n club, evi
dently.
The club-house is n lnugnificcnt nffnir;
spacious nnd admirably designed; with
tlie Intcst designs in showers and locker
rooms; n grand tiled veranda oa the
cast, flanked by a grent porte-cochere, and
a breeze always blowing, apparently
from tho blue and distant hills of old
Carroll comity. The outlook is on the
ninth green nnd fairway nnd the sweep
ing drive.
The main feature of tho club-house
probably Is its grout assembly room, 38
by 88 feet in size, with a vast stone fire
place nt one end, a mezzanine orchestra
loft at the otlior; a fine floor and pnnelod
ceiling nnd walls. At tho orchestra end
of tho room is a charming nobk furnish
ed by the Tuesday Morning Rook Club
—the ladies agree to forego tiieir cus
tomary refreshments for a certain peri
od, mill used the funds to supply curtains
mid cushions nnd pictures and vnscs and
such matters. Mrs. Mike Powell, chair
man of tho women's bnnrd, nnd her co-
workei-H prneticnlly furnished the club
house in lavish stylo.
There in n smoking-room for tlie mon;
clonk rooms; kitchen nnd" dining-room—
everything a country elub-houso needs.
Tho club lins its own waterworks, with n
pressuro-boilor for the showers; mid gots
its electricity from tlio Columbus Power
Co., 1 think it is.
The program for tho opening recep
tion was arranged mainly by Mr. Tom
Fisher and Mrs. 10. G. Cole nnd their
committees, It wus n brief mid attrac
tive program, with the president’s ad
dress ns tho only speech, n briof had en
gaging liltlo talk. Dock’s orchestra sup
plied the music, mid Mrs. Brynu Black
burn nml Mrs. 10. R. Wlintloy sung de
lightfully. Mrs. W. M. Askew nnd Mrs.
•I. B. Fuller gnvo charming numbers on
violin mid 'cello; nnd Mr. Tom Avern,
with his "negro sormon,” mid MiBn Vir
ginia Glover, with a clover reading, were
features. -
So tlio Newnnn Country Club starts
out brilliantly, with tlib most substantial
backing nml the (incut, principles, so
gracefully expressed by its president,
Mr. Cole, in his nddress of welcome—
with n golf course thnt will be in playing
shape before the season is out, mid in
less than three years should compare
with any in Georgia; \ylth a .membership
of 281), and ono of tlio finest cities, in
one of the finest counties in the country,
to draw on for its members,
Tlie officers ere: Mr. it. . JJ. Cole,
president; Mr. II. O. Arnnll, jr, vico-
president, nnd Mr. T. 8. Parrott, score-,
tary and treasurer. These, with the
chnirmon of four standing committees—
Mr. 1). T. MtUlgot, house committee;
Mr. It. Q. Jones, finance; Mr. B. II.
Pinson, grounds, nnd Mr. O. L. Wynp,
pool—eomposo the board of governors.
And 1 cun ensily imagine the mellow
hum of motor enrs out nlntig the smooth
highway to the northward of Newnnn,
in tho bright, wnriif sunshine or tlie mel
low moonlight, nnd the gollliug figures
ngninst. tho green of tlie course; find tlio
flushing divers in the pool; nnd the lights
mid tlie music, whon Hie dnrk tins come,
Hint, will go to make up the bright;- new
social nnd recreative life thnt any well-
ordered country club menus to any com
munity—mid most particularly to n city
like Newnnn nnd n county like Coweta.

Farmers of this section are gathering

MT. CARMEI.
Rev. W. S. Gniues, of Grnntvillo, tilled
his appointment bore Sunday nnd preach
ed nn excellent sermon, which wns grently
enjoyed by n large congregation. He
is one of our old pastors, who preached

Mr. nnd Mrs. Jimmie Story and chil-
tiurewi-ii iitiir-ii«nu l uiunr, ui null i
3,000 yards—not one of the toy dren, of Homewood, nttended services
courses too frequently laid out by now
clubs. There arc,two holes of the ono-
shot variety; ono of 210 yards, nnd one
—a perfect gem—thnt Is n ninshlo pitch
of 120 yards up to a plateau green; a
hole that I make bold to sny will become
fnmoiiB among Southern golf courses.
Tlio long holes iitcludo two threo-shot
holes for tho strongest players, nnd four
two-shot nud drive-and-pitoH holes, nil
admirably laid out by Willie Ogg, I
believe.
Out oil the course 1 lind an odd little
experience. 1 wns introduced to Mrs.
W. Y. Atkinson, wife of the solicitor-
general of the Coweta circuit, who was
taking a practice round; nnd I watched
her play a few shots. Her first swing
stirred a well-implnated memory. It was
like some o'hc' swing I had seen some
where—some ether swing thnt was fa
mous, ton.
I asked Mrs. Atkinson: "Who taught
you thnt. swing f”
She said: "1 got it out of n book.
Then I hud it. It wns Harry Vnr-
don’s swing, from start to finish; ami
tbo book was Harry Vnrdon’s.
One of these days I am going to
write n story of liow Mrs. Atkinson
learned that swing; the style of tlie Old
Master. How she wanted very much to
learn golf, and there was no one to teach
her, mid ,some lent her "How to Play
Golf. 1 ’ Tiy H. Harry Vardon; and how
