FOURTH ESTATE AFTERMATH. “The Aftermath of September is Not the Sweet Clover of Juue,” but it is Quite as Necessary—Some Incidents of the Recent Press Gang’s Dublin Convention and Outing at Tybee. One of the most pleasant features of the editor’s recent trip was the presence at Tybee for a couple of days of that genial, cultured gentle man and prince of good fellows, Edi tor Tom Loyless,of the Macon News. There’s no nicer gentleman anywhere than Tom, and although he has tem porarily retired from the newspaper business, and is now working in the i interest of the Macon Carnival, he still retains bis wonderful popularity among the boys, and we all did w'hat we could both to make him enjoy his stay and to enjoy his company. Yes, indeed, one of the sweetest feat ures of the whole trip was Tom’s de lightful presence at Tybee. One of the regrets of the trip was my failure to see Hon. Fleming du Bignon in Savannah. I called at his office twice—once he was in Atlanta; the second time he had returned and gone again on a business trip to New York. I didn’t feel like I had really been to Savannah; but I made the best of my disappointment, and en joyed the company of the other choice spirits I met there. » • A pleasant meeting in Dublin was that of my party with Miss Carrie Horne, who was visiting the family of Capt. L. Q. Stubbs there. Miss Horne went up the Oconee on the “City of Dublin” and came back on the Gypsy, as did my party, but she was so surrounded by tiie gallant ed itors and Dublin beaux that it was hard to get even a sight of her. Site will return home next week with many new scalps dangling at her belt. * * I felt sorry for that country hotel keeper at Tennille, when the Central special swooped down on him about 1:30 Tuesday morning. He had about 15 rooms and about 150 guests to ac commodate. It took him until nearly 3 o’clock to allot them rooms, and after he had been fruitlessly trying to solve the* problem for nearly an hour, I begged him to get a piece of chalk and draw a diagram of his house on the floor and let me help him figure it out. He scowled at me, and the next move allotted three men and six ladies to a room already overflowing. I made my chalk sug gestion again, and he gave me and my party two rooms to get rid of my sass. The room I got had about ten cots in it and no lamp, and for about an hour I was aroused every time I began to doze by some poor country editor falling on top of me, or over some other cot, and deluging the at mosphere with cuss words. In the room he gave the ladies, there were two crying babies, and a fat woman who made the whole earth creak every time she turned over or rolled off on the floor. Once she jarred the building so that t* front blind fell off, and the ladies who were prepar ing to retire, put out the light and finished in total darkness. That hotel experience at Tennille was worth the price of admission, and will long be a happy reminiscence. * * I enjoyed about an hour’s conver sation with Editor E. N. Hancock, of the Savannah News, who many Dal tonians will remember as the pleas ant, polished gentleman who spent the summer of 1897 at the Hotel Dal ton. He is the same courteous, jovial gentleman and bright talker that he has always been, and my chat with him was not only enjoyed, but was really profitable to me. * * My party in its trip covered over 1,169 miles by rail, besides several boat rides, and all the street car ridess, one trolley ride alone (the belt in Savannah) being over nine miles. These additions were made by Miss Cecil Huif, and you see that, al though we had a most delightful trip, we let no grass grow under feet except at Tybee, where we stayed three days and in Charleston two days. « » W. J. Vandiver, traveling passen ger ag-ent of the Central railway, with headquarters in Macon, made a trip with the boys. He was in charge of the editors’ special to Savannah, and made many friends among the boys by his courteous treatment. Os course, you all know that he is the son-in-law of our fellow-townsman, Judge Joseph Bogle, and is as clever and nice as his father-in-law; and that’s saying a good deal. The presence of Gov. Allen D. Candler on board the special train, and at Dublin, was a source of great pleasure to all tne boys, and es pecially to me, who had not seen him since the day of his nomination. He was in the smoker talking to an At lanta Journal man when I went up and shook hands with him. After the ordinary greeting, Gov. Candler was pleased to turn to the Atlanta man and say: “You have been talking about my backbone, here’s a man that’s got more backbone and nerve than I have; The Dalton Argus is always right; it speaks out in meeting, and sticks to what it says. I get hun dreds of papers at the mansion ; the first one my children hunt up is the Gainesville home paper, of course; and then they hunt up The Argus; one of them, about 18 years old, al ways hunts up The Argus first; it’s the most popular paper that comes to the mansion.” Os course I made my most modest acknowledgements, and told the Governor I appreciated his children’s partiality for The Argus, especially if they were “chips off the old block.” The governor made two speeches at Dublin; and captured everybody who heard him, especially the gentler sex. For, you know, the governor, like all brave, true men, is powerful sweet on the girls, and loves to give them taffy. « * Dublin is very fortunate in its newspaper men. Ido not presume there are time nicer men in the bus iness than Editors Hilton, Morecock and Stanley. I had known Ed More cock and Atys Hilton years ago (a few years, you know; for I can’t own up to being old), when we were all on the Savannah News together, and Editor Stanley proved a most pleas ant new acquaintance. I enjoyed intercourse with them immensely; they were genial and wholesouled. * « The pink cheeks and juicy lips of a young girl hardly rival those El berta peaches that Editor Allen of Worth county distributed among the ladies and gentlemen of the party on the Central’s wharf. And they were Worth county peaches, too, of a size and quality that would make Frank Summerour go into ecstacies. * * I was much pleased to meet my old employer, Col. J. H. Estill, the pro prietor of the Savannah Morning News, while in Savannah ; he seemed to be glad, too, and I was in such a good humor at seeing him that I for gave him for dissembling. There are few nicer, abler men in Georgia than Col. Estill, and few more successful, more charitable men. He has done so much for Savannah and Georgia, that but for his native modesty and retiring disposition, he would long ago have filled the highest position in the gift of the people in his state. He is a practical printer, and has carved out his own name, fortune and fame. « * While in Atlanta, I went with my party to the Cbamberlain-Johnson- Dußose Co., and had the pleasure of seeing Miss Nora Love and that prince of good-fellows, O. C. Stone. It was quite a pleasure to meet these people, and we all enjoyed their warm greetings. * * No wonder the Central of Georgia is such a popular railroad. No road could be otherwise, with such gentle men in charge of its affairs as Vice- President J. M. Eagan, General Passenger Agent J. C. Haile, Col. C. C. Hanson and Traveling Passenger Agent W. J. Vandiver. They vied with each other in showing the boys and their ladies every courtesy, and made us all feel like we were hon ored and welcome guests. If I ever own a railroad, I am go ing to try to get that team to help me run it. * * While we are talking about the railroads, it would never do to forget the courtesies extended by the old reliable Western and Atlantic road, and that cleverest of all passenger agents, Chas. E. Harman. Nothing could exceed the elegant, obliging service there furnished, and w*e want to speak out in meeting in its praise. It is a mighty hard thing to get used to giving big names to old friends, and the true-blue boys al ways seem to be boys to me when I meet them suddenly after a long sep aration. I walked into the banquet hall about 9:45 p. m., with iny wife and Miss Cecil Huff, and about the first person I ran against was Senator A. S. Clay. Before I thought, I held out my hand and said: “Why, hello Steve!’’ Then I thought of his being a senator, and apologized for my fa miliarity. Just like the same good fellow he always was, he grasped my hand heartily and said: “I am al ways ‘Steve’ to the boys; I’d feel hurt if one of them called me any thing else.” I introduced Idm to my party, and we all had a pleasant chat, and then devoured some powerful good eating, to be sure. But Steve told a joke on Gov. Candler down there that is worth repeating. It seems that a young lady’ applied to Gov. Candler to have her brother released from the army. Candler wrote Clay to get his help and closed his letter thus: “Do your best, Steve; his sister Is a charmingly pretty girl, and she has promised me a sweet little kiss, if I succeed, and I’ll make her give us one apiece.” Clay did his best, but had to get Congressman Will Brantley to help him, promising Brantley one of the kisses. Together they got the dis missal, and Congressman Brantley We Wish to Say That we have, as stated in last week’s Argus b< k L.

Tell the young lady 1 will be in At lanta next Tuesday for my pay.” To which Gov. Candler replied : “No use coming. The young lady was in my office when your telegram came. She has paid me both of them.” Senator Clay was on the train near Atlanta, about two weeks later, when a very pretty young lady came up to him and said: “And this is Senator Clay. I want to thank you for securing my brother’s release. And since I have seen you, you area so much hand somer man than Mr. Candler, I am sorry I did not pay you instead of the governor.” When Senator Clay told that joke, the roof almost left the building. And nobody laughed louder than “Uncle Allen.” • • Among the guests at Tybee Beach Hotel, when the press gang was there, was Miss Coralette Beall, of Ringgold, the pretty and accom plished daughter of Capt. E. W. Beall, the clever Western and At lantic railroad conductor. Miss Beall is visiting Miss Frank Stewart, of Savannah, and they were spending awhile at Tybee. * • The courtesies shown our party when we visited the Atlanta Consti tution office by Editor Clark Howell and Poet Frank L. Stanton, and by Night Editor Walter C. Henderson in conducting the party through the various departments, was deeply ap preciated by me. I have known those clever gentlemen all my life, but never realized more fully to w hat trouble they would go to entertain a friend. If I ever catch them up here I am going to retaliate in kind. If the Georgia editors are not warm supporters of the uniform, square cotton bale, it will not be the fault of Col C. C. Hanson, of the Central Railway. He escorted the party to the Central’s Compress, and made them a speech on the subject. Col. Hanson has been doing some valu able work in the interest of the square bale, and work on the right line. The square bale is against monopoly while a ginning and compress trust, and the round bale would place the farmers where they could be squeezed, instead of their cotton. Mr. Hanson did not say so; he spoke only in favor of the square bale, but that’s the way the round bale looks to “a man up a tree.” * • That veteran of the press, Editor N. C. Napier, of the Walker County Messenger, was there, accompanied by two of his charming daughters I enjoyed his society on several occa sions, and was profited by the clear ness of his ideast-many new, all forcible and well stated. Long may he live to honor North Georgia! * * I had a most pleasant chat while coming down the Oconee river on the steamer Gypsy with Banker H. H. Smith, one of the leading spirits in the upbuilding and developingof that wonderful city of Dublin. Mr. Smith is president of the Laurens Banking Company, and had just returned from the Bankers’ convention at War n Springs, where he had several talks with Col. F. T. Hardwick,of ourcity. Mr. Smith is interested in cotton milling and is thinking of starting a big mill in Dublin. He asked a hun dredquestions about Dalton, and its cotton mill. While Dublin is a mag nificent town,with brilliant prospects, of course, I told him he had better bring his mill up to Dalton, if he wanted to coin the ducats. And Claude Melnotte’s description of Lake Como would make tame reading compared to what I told him about Dalton. And every word of it was truth, too. I’ll bet, if he ever leaves Dub lin, he will come to Dalton to live. * * Will Harris, of Cedartown, Senator Clay’s private secretary, was with the boys at Dublin and a day at Tybee. Os course, there never was a human who would not enjoy the company of such a bonhomme fellow as Will, and I am but human you know. * * Congressman W. G. Brantley’s speech at the Dublin banquet, in answer to the toast “Woman,” was a matchless piece of eloquence. Mr. Brantley is the finest “male elocution ist” I have listened to in many a year. He had a splendid subject— who can’t say sweet, nice things about woman ? But his beautiful language and high, noble sentiment was emphasized not by pyrotechnic oratory, but by a wonderfully sweet, well modulated voice, as distinct in its lowest cadences as in its highest accent, and although he began speak ing atll:3op. m. to a tired crowd, well filled and sleepy, the attention paid him was as intense as the dr» n Ing of a mus tard plaster on an chest, and the applause was 80 S’ taneous, so tremendous that it w evident that everybody every word, and had been C S away both by the grand thought the matchless voice that uttered ?
