CONGRATULATIONS!
The appointment of Phil An
derson to the judgeship of the
Macon circuit has caused much
rejoicing among his many friends
in Perry and Houston county.
Whatever honor and recogni
tion comes to any one citizen re
flects credit on the whole com
munity. The people of this town
and county have such an alti
tude and take pride in the suc
cess of a native son or daughter.
Phil Anderson's ability was
first recognized by his own peo
ple. As a very young man, he
was given places of leadership
usually held by older men. In
performing ably all duties of a
public nature, he proved the con
fidence imposed in him to be
well placed.
As a law’student, he made a
fine record at Mercer University.
With his knowledge of law, his
high mental attainments, hi s
energy and ambition, his ability
as a leader, and his experience in
public life, Phil Anderson has
the qualifications for a judicial
position. His home town friends
are confident that he will make a
good judge.
We join with others in con
gratulating Judge Anderson
upon his appointment.
THE PRESS MEETING
The 53rd annual convention of
the Georgia Press Association,
held in the beautiful and pro
gressive city of Calhoun in north
Georgia, will always be remem
bered as one of the most enjoy
able as well as helpful sessions
ever held by this group.
The program theme, “Down
to Brass Tacks,” was carried out
in the series of practical dis
cussions on circulation, adver
tising, job printing, and othei
phases of work.
Editor J. Roy McGinty of the
Calhoun Times made a wonder
ful host of the convention, ana
his election to the presidency ol
the Association, succeeding Edi
tor J ere N. Moore of the Mil
ledgeville Timcs-Recorder, was
an appropriate and p o p u1 a i
choice. Mr. McGinty is state
senator from his district.
Otis Brumby, editor of t h (
Cobb County Times at Marietta,
was elected vice-president to
succeed Mr. McGinty. Mr. Brum
by’s paper has won several na
tional prizes and is a powerful
factor in Cobb county. Mr.
Brumby is an outstanding mem
ber of the association.
Hal M. Stanley was re-elected
Becty-treasurer and presented i
pin for having served 50 yean
as an editor. Mr. Stanley is be
loved by all Georgia editors.
The Press association math
unparalelled progress under tin
leadership of Jore Moore. Mr.
Moore is largely responsible to
the association employing the
services of a field manager. The
results have been well worth the
cost. The manager, Jim Sey
mour, has done fine work.
Under the direction of the
new officers, the association can
expect to continue the forward
movements begun under Mr.
Moore.
The meeting of old friends at
the annual conventions is al
ways a pleasure. Georgia edi
tors are a fine group of people.
The hospitality of the good
people of Calhoun will always
be a happy memory. The meet
ing itself will stand out as one
of import—a time when Geor
gia editors united to make their
collective strength recognized
and to fight against any encroach
ment upon their freedom.
Perry is rejoicing over t h e
fact that a Civilian Conservation
Corps camp is soon to be set up
near that city. Perry citizens
iiave away of getting things
done when they take a notion.
Vve extend congratulations to our
neighbors.—Butler Herald.

Sfccplechasing Old Sport
Stceplechasing. got its name In
the early part of the last century
from the fact that a group of mount
ed sportsmen would pick out a dis
tant church steeple and race to it
over the countryside, through gar- j
dens, over fences, ditches and j
farms just to see who could get
there first, ignoring all hazards.
Later, when the number of races
increased, certain formalities were '
observed. The jumps were changed |
and stiffened, and dangers added. I
Flags were placed along the way to
insure that the riders would follow
practically the same route.
