Some Press Convention Notes
Bill Biffem says that one of she boys who “‘only
came after a bit of ‘cue’ got a ‘‘roast.”
Jack Patterson and Editor Dake were right on
the job, just as much alike as Tke and Mike, and
twice as popular with the fair sex.
" In that fellow Comer, Carrollton has a live wire
to conduet her trade board, and.he has able back
ing from the municipal anthorities also.
Milten Fleetwood, who has done more for the
town of Cartersville than any one man in the last
Iwenty years, read one of the best papers before
the convention this year.
Uncle John Shannon got off one of the short
est and most forcible ‘‘’keynote” speeches we ever
hope to hear, one that Shope, Herring, Meclntosh,
and a number of other fellows we know would have
enjoyed. Uncle John can hit a “bull’s-eye’ all
right, even when it is further away than it was on
this oceasion.
Carrallton can hoast a brass’band all her own,
and itra good ene, too.
Mr. A. K. Snead devoted every minute of his
time in making the guests comfortable to feel at
home while in Carrollton.
- Will Bruner and his associate from the Wash
ington, trade board, certainly let the association
know where they are to get off at next year.
Not only all Romans, but all Georgians should
be proud of the name of Martha Berry.
The pile of print paper the Carroll Free Press
had ‘“‘on hand” attracted almost as much attention
from ‘‘those present’’ as a watermelon patch does
at a regre camp-meeting.
‘The :Carroll Times’ ‘cue made a lot of the boys
wonder when an editor finds time to run a farm
and ‘a steck ranch,
Camp and Caldwell, our hosts of last year were
less busy but just as interested as when we went
to Monroe. :
Kelly Simmons performed just like a regular
‘guy, who is in the habit of presiding over press
meetings every day in the year.
The entertainments at Bowden and Douglasville|
were rendered impossible by the continued rains,
but the boys accept the will for the deed.
Paul Harber was ‘‘in our midst’’ with his pleas
ant smile and timely advice on current topies.
Hoke Smith and John Holder slipped into the
‘town to take a peep at the gathering, but as far
as we can learn, neither Cliff Walker, Tom Hard
wick or Tom Watson came around.
Dud Glass had the same face with him, because.
they say he would not change it if he could. ;
Miss Woodward, of Vienna, one of the most con
sistent and regular members, told how a paper may
be of some real service in the people in promoting
«wommunity work, and elevating the character and
purposes of its readers.
Althpugh the party was beginning to tire, and
Lad dwindled to little more than a hundred. Mr.
arfd. Mrs. Gordon Lee did the honors gracefully at
their heautiful home at Chickamauga.
The rum-hound eclub reports that they found
everything promising the semblance of a *‘kiek,”
with a temperature so high and a voltage so low as
Lo make the rvesults almost impereeptible.
‘The “‘opposin’ sect,”” as Ring Lardner has so
aptly denominated his own and other men's wives,
was largely in evidence this year, so we must c¢on
Jude that they arve tired of taking an ‘“alibt’’ fron
their hubbies who have been off for a week wit!

Mr. George F. Butler, 51 years
old, died at his home in Elizabeth
on July 22.
The funeral was held at the Ball
Ground Baptist church on July 24,
‘the imterment being in the cemetery
“&here.
He is survived by his wife and
several children.
FOR SOLICITOR
“To the Voters of the Blue Ridge Circuit:
1 hereby announce myself as a candidate
for the office of Solicitor General of the Blue
Ridge Circuit, subject to the rules and recu
lations of the State Democratic Executive
Committee.
1f elected, 1 pledge myself to faithfully dis
<harge the duties of the office to the best of
my ability, with malice toward none and with
dmpartialiy to all.
L respectfully solicit the vote and influence
<% all the qualified voters in this cirucit, and
wmesure each and every one who may see fit
‘%o honor me with his support that it will be
wancerely appreciated.
if I am elected, #on. Lindley W. Camp, of
BGebb county wil be my assistant.
Rupecuul?.
. JNO. S. WOOD.
We missed a popular member of the association
but we absolutely refuse to call his name, as he is
said to have been detained by his wife, the report
having come to her that he fell off the train four
times last year when coming away from Monroe,
and each time was found walking back toward
Monroe and muttering something about chickens.
We don’t blame her for not letting him take a chance
on Carrollton this year, and they say that Wash
ington is just as dangerous in that way.
One of the incomprehensible things to any moth
er is ‘‘how it can make any difference to the rail
road whether Johnny was born in January or in
September, 1908.”
Boeze hauled in a hearse in Connecticut, was
judged by the officers to have too mueh kick in it
to make a decent corpse, even though attended by
a man in priestly garb, and decorated with floral
offerings.
That fellow who got the Georgia legislature to
pass a joke bill about what sort of time our clocks
should keep last summer is there again, and has
Just gotten the legislature to repeal it. He even
claims to recognize the humor in bill this year.
It would seem to us that ‘‘trunk murderers’’ re
ceive publicity away bevond their deserts. It cer
tainly requires little ingenuity for a murderer to
to cut up the body of his vietim and ship it in a
trunk, yet they hold the front page of the dailies
for weeks at a time, right along side of the Irish
revolution and the latest divorce scandals, which
go on forever,
—_— |
Candidate Harding will have no set policy on
the league of nations question; in communities fav
oring it, he will be for it, while people opposed to
it may consider that he is the same way
We have never noticed any great difference in
the returns from oil stocks, whether promoted by
home talent or foisted on the simple minded folks
by oily tongued strangers, except that in the former
case, some of your money does stay in your own
community.,
The Dalton Citizen intimates that a good many
people who only read one paper in the state, think
that Woodrow Wilson appointed Henry Lincoln
Johnson to office. We will give everybody fifty-seven
guesses to name that paper.
The Rome Tribune-Herald thinks it should not
be considered gambling when men bet hats on an
election, but when women get the habit, that will
bring the transaction within the realms of high. not
not to say frenzied, finance, and ought to be vigor
ously prosecuted to the limit of the law. ‘
Daring robberies were formerly pulled off in the
sparsely settled distriets of the country, but now the
centers of population are the scenes for bandits,
hold-up men and murderers, and the wild and wooly
west has lost its eharm for seekers for excitement.
- ““On to Washington’® will be the word of the
Georgia editors this time next year, but it will be
Washington, Wilkes County, Georgia, a city more
lmspi'tahlv and dearer to the hearts of Georgians
than the one founded by the father of our country
iupm) the\banks of the Potomac.
A young man in a fishing party at the river on
Tuesday fell into the river and was drowned be
’v:nm- he could not swim. Swimming is a most de
lightful and healthy exercise and an art easily ae
quired. Safety first. Learn to swim!
A good deal of harsh and excited talk is heing
used by some of the candidates and their friends
in the varicus races for office this year, and we ad
vise our readers to take some of the statements
being ecireulated with more than a grain of salg.
Villa has captured an Awerican brewery pres
ident with a German name, and wants a ransom for
him. Just what he.was doing in Mexico, we do not
‘f;z;u\\'. nor can we understand why he should have
| any further business in this country, so we rise to
,t.\ug'f_"v\‘l that Villa keep him.
FOR 'SALE
