The weekly editors of Georgia, the men
who make and unmake Georgia legislature,
and help to make governors, all for the
price of subscription and the love of their
country, were in Atlanta last week.
Tiiov struck the city at <» o’clock last Tues
day afternoon and from the hour of their
arrival until after midnight Tuesday they
were very much in evidence about the city.
They came about one hundred and twenty
five strong on special cars over the Mid
dle Georgia and Atlantic and Georgia rail
road.
At the head of the party was President
Sim Blalock, who has engineered the an
nual excursion from its inception up to the

Walter S. Coleman, the humorist of the
association, and Ben F. Perry, of Ute
Canton Advance.
The party went at once to the Kimball
and registered, President Blalo.-k having
previously made prv;»aration for the editors
to make their headquarters at that hostelry.
The editors tilled the lobby of the Kimball,
giving it almost the familiar appcaruxice of
amt viiuon times.

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION; ATLANTA, GA., MONDAY. AUGUST 13, 1894.
Wednesday morning. General business re
ferring to the progress of tho association came
up. It lasted about two hours, after which
the editors took in the city and then made
preparations to leave fur New H ork.
The editors leave at emietly noon on the
Seaboard Air-Line, in tnre? special cars of
the Atlanta Special, one of the handsomest
trains in the south. The editors will make
the journey to Washington In three elegant
cars of the finest variety owned by Mr.
Pullman. .
Th editors will remain in Wahslngton
but one day, and while there will lie enter
tained by the Georgia delegation. They will
continue th ir journy to New York, b-av
ing Washington at 10 o’clock Friday. They
will reach New York Friday night and will
make their way to the Metropolitan hotel.
At this hotel they will make their neadquar
t rs. Friday night, after supper, the editors
may be found at the roof gardens and at
Koster & Bial’s.
The editors have no programme while in
New York, but will see everything that is
going. Tii y will spend about a week or
ten days in New York. Some of the editors
will come back after four or five days in
the metropolis, others will remain quite
• awhile. Pr sident Blalock and Mr. Gus
Morrow will spend a fortnight amid the
festive charms of the roof gardens find Co
ney Island. They will also take an excur

Nearly all of the editors who met with
the association in Atlanta will g<
on the trip to New York. Quite a number
of ladi s will accompany the editors, among
them Misses Evans, Moore and Dortch, of
Milledgeville, and Miss Williams, of Val
dosta. Several of the editors will carry their
wives.
brent Time nt Milledgeville.
The editors had a glorious time cf it at
Milledgeville, and will never tire of singing
the praises of the people of the old capital
city.
Tht-y were given a superb banquet in the
old capitol building, beginning at 8 o’clock
at night. Speeches of welcome were made
by Mayor Carraker, Judge Sanford. Pro
fessors Chappell and Woodward and Editor
Moor . Res|s»nses were made by Editors
Blalock and Coleman. A number of toasts
were responded to by the editors. of
the best speeches delivered was that by Edi
tor Alf Herrington, who responded to the
toast: “The Georgia Cracker.”
The banquet was one of the tin st aftnirs
of the kind that the editors have enjoyed in
a long while. It was immensely enjoyed by
all present.
A Jolly fintlierlng.
About the jolliest party of editors that
has gathered in Atlanta in many weeks
was that of the ditors last night. It was
a happy, good-humored crowd, and they
cracked jokes and toid stories with the pro
verbial smoothness of their craft. Gus Mor
row, of Joneslioro, was in the party, holdi ig
his own with the best of them. He will ac-

company the party as special escort of the

The excursion promises to be the best .ne
editors have ever enjoyed, and :h?y have
hand many splendid ones.
THE EDITORS DKI*AKT.
They Left for Wa-hlngton Wednesday—Pro
graunne of .he Trip.
The editois were out of bed bright and
early Wednesday morning. Almost before the
Kimball’s fat chef had finished his slumbers
the editors were making the corridors of
the hotel ring with their jolly laughter.
The Georgia editor is an eaily riser, and
when he is going off on a big excursion
he gets up earlier than usual.
After a hearty breakfast the editors
assembled in rooms IM and 106 for their bus
iness session. President Sim Blalock being
busily occupii d with the details of the trip
to New York, and the newly elected presi
dent, Mr. Walter Coleman, having just left
the city. Vice President McCutcheon pre
sided over the meeting. Nearly all the edi
tors were present, about fifteen ladies being
in the gathering. Several new arrivals
were also noticeable.
The reports of the treasurer and of the
corresponding secretary were received. The
report of the treasuriT would not indicate
that the weekly editor is as poor of purse
as he is proverbially reputed to be. A good
showing was made of the financial standing
of the association.
Secretary Herrington said that he had had
some trouble in getting passes at tiist, as
the actions of his predecessor in office had
been such as to make the roads suspicious,
but that had been overcome and everything
was in good shape.
Editor Allen, of The Tifton Gazette,
chairman of the committee on credentials,
reporu-d that the committee had acted on
the a; plications of the editors of the fol
lowing papers for membership: Decatur
Record, Reynolds Hustler, Columbus Ga
zette, Barnesville Home Journal, Columbus
Ledg'-r. Ashburn Advance, Arabia Express,
Blackshear Times, Hinesville Herald, Clay
County Democrat, Tatnall County Journal,
Hale’s Weekly, Conyers; Tennille Chronicle,
Bluffton News, Cuthbert Leader, Blakely
Observer, Vitalia Star, Gordon Weekly,
Calhoun; Cartersville Signal, Greenesboro
Home Journal, Gordon Citizen, Barnesville
Gazette and Middle Georgia F'anner.
A representative of each of these
papers was present and was admitted to the
convention. The admission of these papers,
most of which are new. shows the great
growth of the association.
Quite a lively discussion was precipitated
by a resolution providing that only bona
tide newspaper people be allowed represen
tation in the convention and on the asso
ciation's excursion, the idea being to shut
out proxies and those who were sent along
by editors who could not themselves make
the trip. The sentiment of the convention
was that hereaf;er all such be excluded.
S« veral hearty speeches were made on this
line. One editor stated that it was necessa
ry that the association retain its caste
and tiiat 1: asked nothing except for gen
uine, working newspaper men. This senti
ment was strong in the convention and will
result hereafter in excursions con posed en
tirely of editors and their families without
a single outsider. The resolution was passed
and the penalty for the violation of its pro
visions is the expulsion of the offending
paper from, the association.
In this Connection it cropped out incident
ally that it has been the custom of the
editors who could not go to the conventions
and on the excursions to let some friend
take the privilege belonging to him. In
the future there will be none of this.
W. Trox Bankston, of The Ringgold New
South, wanted Hon. W. Y. Atkinson to
address the convention. He said that the
.nominee of the democracy for governor
was at that time in the hotel and he
thought it eminently proper that he be
heard from by the editors. His motion that
Mr. Atkinson be sent for by a committee
wont through with a chorus o£ hearty ayes.
Mr. Bankston was made chairman of the
vommlttee, and he immediately vanished in
search of the coming governor. Meanwhile
the convention proceeded with its business.
Nearly an hour had slipi>ed away when
Editor Bankston came in, evidently very
warm. He had been making a hard hunt for
the Coweta statesman, but in his short
Search had discovered that it is not as easy
to find a man in Atlanta as it is in Ring
gold. He seemed not a little put out at his
failure, as he had set his heart upon hear
ing from Mr. Atkinson. His regret was
shared by the other editors in the conven
tion.
Acting President McCutcheon said that he
had been requested by Miss Ellen Dortch
to make a request of the convention, which
duty it gave him pleasure to perforin. Miss
Dortch had received a letter from Mrs.
Loulie M. Gordon, appointing her one of
the woman directors for the Cotton States
and International exposition for the state
at large and she desired that the weekly
editors heartily endorse the woman’s de
partment of the exposition and pledge them
selves to help it in any way, by personal
support or by publications in their papers.
The request of Miss Dortch was heartily
acceded to by the convention.
The question of where the next convention
should be held aroused some spirited discus
sion, but was deferred until a later date.
Both Waycross and Dawson were put in
nomination. The desire of the editors
seemed to be to get near the seashore. Daw
son contended for the meeting on the ground
that the editors had never met in that sec
tion. As it appeared that there was great
division us sentiment as to the proper place
for holding the convention, it was decided to
defer it until a few days later, it will be
decided at a session of the editors held
while away.
Just before the meeting adjourned the live
liest incident of the entire session oc
curred.
Alf Herrington arose and in loud tones an
nounced that he had been asked by Miss
Ellen J. Dortch to present for iter a resolu
tion which she wanted the editors to adopt
beftre adjourning. He read the resolution,
which was in two sections, but very short.
The first section was to memorialize the
Georgia legislature to extend state aid to
enlarge the Girls’ Normal and Industrial
school at Milledgeville.
The second section was to open the State
university to girls.
The latter section evidently created a
stir among the editors. One editor was very
prompt to say that he opposed the resolu
tion, as it looked to the co-education of
the sexes.
Editor Jim Brown, of The Newnan Her
ald, was very positive in his opinions con
cerning the resolution “There is no need
for us to memorialize the legislature,” said
lie. “We memorialize it every week in the
columns of our papers. We make the legis
lature. Every man here does more to in
fluence the representative from his coun
ty than any other man. This commits us to
this proposition, and I oppose it.”
Mr. Herrington, in a few strong and
spirited words, said that he could not con
ceive how any chivalrous man could oppose
such a resolution. It merely was the ex
pression, the endorsement of a sentiment.
It was past all understanding how any man
could find it in his heart to oppose tile lit st
section of the resolution. As for the second
section, he did not urge it upon the con
vention.
Mr. Brown again spoke in opposition to
both sections of the resolution and other
remarks were imide on the same line. Miss
Dorteh advanced to the front from her
position in the rear and said a few earnest
words in behalf of he r resolution. She said
that she wanted the editors to help in such
a laudable movement to assist the poor girls
us Georgia. It was merely the expression
of an endorsement of a movement which
she understood was under way. I’resiuent
Chappel was going to ask the next legisla
ture fop an appropriation and an expt t
slon from the weekly editors would gc a
great way toward getting it.
Another editor arose to speak for the
resolution, when Mr. Herrington stepped
forward dramatically and said:
“1 withdraw it.”
Miss Dortch and others seemed surprised
at the action, but before anything could be
said a motion to adjourn had been carried.
Before the editors adjourned President
Coleman suited that Manager Hugh Porter,
us tile Kimball, wiio had been exceedingly
vigilant in looking after the comfort of his
guests, had Stated that the editors could
get their dinner at 11 o’clock if they wished
it. The editors were requested to announce
the number of dinners they wanted, so
that preparations could be made accord
ingly. Alf Herrington paralyzed the con
vention by ordering seven straight dinners.
Anomer editor followed up witu three and
a tnini was satisfied with two.
"You fellows are not going to eat any
thing wiule you are away, 1 suppose,” stud
an editor who was not going on tne excur
sion. The editors hud a hearty dinner be
lore going to the tram.
it was a lively scene a-t the union depot
twenty imnuiet. before the editors departed.
About -0.1 people were present to see the
press fellows depart, ami gave them a rous
ing send olf. Must of the editors are vet
eran tourists, as they have been exeurting
since they have been in the business.
Laughing and jostling each other in char
acteristic i.isiiion, the editors loaded them
selves and baggage upon the waiting tram,
first seeing t.n. tlieir passes were secure.
All was tn readiness at noon, and tile train
Whisked out of the depot in a hurry. The
Seaboard officials gave the editors a fine
practical demonstration of Die way they do
things.
Tne editors’ special will reach Washing
ton at 10 o’clock tftis morning. The Geor
gia delegation of congressmen ami Mr.
Claude Bennett will take charge of the ed
itors while they are in Washington. Until
noon tomorrow the editors will be quartered
at the St. James. Os course, they will take
a good look at congress and points of in
terest around Washington.
They will reach New York at 6 o’clock
tomorrow night. President Blalock has se
cured quarters for the party at the Metro
politan, ami when they are once registered
at the hotel in N<“w York it will be a go
as-you-please affair.
The editors will undoubtedly make a hit
hi Gotham. They ate noted sight-seers, as
well as striking in personal appearance,
ar.d the average member of the party will
attract attention even on crowded Broad
way. They can see more In a day than the
average tourist, having a great deal of ex
perience in seeing things, and there will not
be a member of the party that will not be
able to write ' guide to New York when
the trip Is finished.
