Hit* Alliuma* of t Ilf Gi'Olui;
Normal and Industrial School, a
Milledgeville. have petitioned th<
General Assembly to change the
name of that institution to Geoi
gia College* for Women. ThcTrib
une thinks the suggested name i
bettur than tne old one. which i*
too long and not suggestive of tin
real character of the institution.
Let the petition be granted.
Should the Georgia legislature
decide in favor of biennial sessions
of that body, it will then be neees
nary for it to provide some method
of dealing with many local matters
now brought before it. The truth
the matter is biennial sessions
have been tried out in Georgia and
found inadequate to lhe State's
needs. The lopping off of expenses
should begin along other lines.
The Tribune received Mr. Win.
Bennett’s second letter in defense
of the doctrines of the Mormon
church on Wednesday morning.
Its length forbids its publication
this week, but it. will appear on
the first page next week. This
will close the discussion on his
part, but the other side will reply
in one article. There are some
things connected with churehism
that a secular paper should not
discuss, but questions involving
the plan of salvation can properly
be discussed anywhere and by any
body. It is a world-wide topic.
Office seekers, many of whom
you would expect better things,
scheme to get newspaper publicity
through press agents and import
ant ‘‘news item" to readers chau
nel. Every newspaper office in
Georgia is now being flooded with
such dope. However, the time
has arrived when such “news
items” does not receive attention
from Georgia newspaper men un
less accompanied by justcomponsa
tion, it takes money, a lot of it,
to keep even a country newspaper
a going concern, and candidates do
themselves an injustice by at
tempting this kind of sponging.
Some legislator is trying to pro
vide for the taking of snap judg
meats in the matter of granting of
corporate charters by the superior
courts. The pending bill to re
lieve applicants for corporate pow
ers from the duty of publishing
their petitions is in direct conflict
with the law of notice, which law
requires the service of notice upon
the public or other interested
party before a legal judgment can
be rendered. The laws of the
country do not favor snap judg
meats. If a business is to be start
ed in a community, the people of
that community should have no
tice before hand so that if it is of
an undesirable nature they can
make their complaint and objee
tious.
Gov. Hardwick and bis campaign
committees are working the “see
ond term” slogan in his behalf for
all they can get out of it, but it
does not appeal to those people
and voters who have not forgotten
his attitude during the world war
and upon which side he threw his
strength and influence in that try
ing period. They insist that the
people of Georgia “are passing
through a most critical and trying
period” from a financial stand
point. If he was untrue to his
people and government while the
world war was raging w hat assur
ance have they that he will be
true to the State and the people
as governor. The people judge
his future by the past, and they
see nothing he has accomplished
as governor that specially com
mend him for a second term.
His committees deal in generalities
and not specifies. It is interesting
to watch the line up.
BY THE WAY.
The Tribune editor and daught
er, Eugenia, enjoyed every minute
of their stay in Quitman. They
met relatives and friends they had
not seen in many years and really
regretted they could not remain
longer w-ith them.
It was delightful to meet with
Messrs. Win. Haddock, Stanley
Bennett, William Gaulden, Mat
thew Elder, Charlie Powers and
others —all friends of the editor’s
young, manhood. They could re
joice together that Father Time
had dealt kindly with them —all
having passed the meridian of life
and still in robust health and
actively engaged in business.
The meeting w-ith Wm. Haddock
reminded tin* Tribune editor of
the activity of the Hickory Head
farmer’s club which, more than
forty years ago, held regular week
ly meetings in the district school
house and such farmers as the
Haddocks, Stanleys, Deumarks,
Groovers, Johnsons, Davis's, and
others, exchanged their weekly ex
pediences on their farms. This
Farmers’ Club set the pace for
Brooks county farmers. They set
the example of intensive and di
versified farming as well as co
operation in all their activities.
Brooks county farmers owe much
of their prosperity today to the
lessons learned from it.
The Tribune is sure it was dis
appointing to the editors that the
daily rains prevented their seeing
more of the farmers and farming
of Brooks county. Some of them
were exceedingly anxious to see
more of Brooks county’s people.
The editors went to the Country
Club Tuesdaytevening just after a
heavy rain; they went Wednesday,
to Blue Springs, the barbecue and
basket picnic in a rain—saw stacks
of good things to eat gel wet —and
returned to the city in a rain,
pulled off their "Stunt Night"
fimnygraphs after a tremendous
rain. It was rain, rain, rain! Oh,
what a pity!
x x \
There were about one hundred
sud seventy five newspaper people
who joined the trip to Brunswick.
It rained Thursday afternoon, but
the clouds cleared awav in time
for the automobile ride to points
of interest including the plant of
the Atlantic Refining Company
which ranks among the largest
concerns of the kind in the world,
it is a marvel of activity.
The drive also included a trip to
the Crate factory, the Shrimp and
Oyster packing plant, the Golf
links and over the Shell road to
Darien and “The Ridge.” The
older members of the editorial
party could not t hink of Darien
except to recall the days when she
possessed the "Timber Cutter's
Bank” with its million dollars re
sources and a newspaper —The
Darien Timber Gazette —edited by
that sterling gentleman and all
round good fellow-, Richard \V.
Grubbs. In the earlier days of
the Press ' Association "Dick”
Grubbs was one of its most enthu
siastic members.
The trip to Darien passed
through some as good truck and
rice lands as can be found any
where and it w-as sad to contem
plate that no fnterest is attached
to them now —there is no labor
among the hundreds of idlers who
can be induced to grow rice and
vegetables; there are no capitalist
who would think for a moment of
investing his money in these indus
tries.
Brunswick entertained her
guests Thursday night, with a ban
quet. Covers were laid for two
hundred and every seat was oe
cupied. Judge Jos. \Y. Bennet
presided as toast master and Mayor
Charlie Ogg bade the guests wel
come. President Sutlive made
the response on the part of the
press association. These young
gentlemen acquitted themselves
superbly. The only disturbance
came w hen a Pearson youth was
invested with a “loud" necktie,
suffusing him with blushes and
dumbness. He was reminded tbat
the “Bogey man will catch you. if
you don't look out!" During the
speech making the editors learned
jauch of Brunswick, her industries,
PEAHSON TRIBUNE, PEARSON, GEORGIA. JULY 28. 1022
her commerce, her harbor, her
societies for the promotion of her
interests.
Friday the editorial party was
given a boat ride on Oglethorpe
bay which began at 9 a. m. and
ended at 4:30 p. m. The boat
touched at Jekyl Island and afford
ed the “poor” editors an opporiun
ity to see where America's avari
cions multi-millionaires meet dui
ing the winter and spend their
days in idleness and planning their
operations.
Cutting loose from Jekyl the
boat w-ent immediately to St.
Simons Island, where the party
went ashore and was served a fish
dinner. The fish were plenteous,
well cooked and nicely served.
After dinner the boat returned
the party to Brunswick, where
good-byes were said, some leaving
f«n their homes and others remain
ing to enjoy seashore pleasures
for a few days. Their transporta
tion had been kindly extended up
to August Ist.
The diversions for the press con
vention of 1922 were plentiful and
the editors enjoyed it. Thanks to
all having a part in making them
have so excellent pastime.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The water power bill, sponsored
by the Municipal League of Geor
gia, has been reported on unfavor
bly by the committee on eonstitu
tional amendments. It is conceded
to be a victory for the Georgia
Railway and Power Company, and
leaves the development of Georgia’s
water power to private and indi
vidnal interests.
The Bill of Senator Frank A.
Mauson, creating a commission to
prevent the sale of the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad
for junk, has passed the Senate
and it is generally conceded that
it will pass the House and be
signed by the governor, making it
the policy of the State to save this
road as a going concern.
The Senate Committee on Agri
culture has killed the proposition
of investigating the Department of
Agriculture.
There is a decided sentiment in
the House favorable to a repeal of
tilt* tax equalization law. The
rules committee has provided fora
vote whether or not the Bill to
repeal the law-, after having been
reported on adversely by the sen
ate committee, can be placed on
the calendar of the House. If it
gets on the calendar the Bill will
be passed by the House it is claim
ed. Then it will be sent, to the
Senate and what will become of it
will depend on its friends in the
Senate. The Tribune’s guess is
that the Senate w ill again dispose
of it adversely.
The Tribune is glad to get the
news from all sections of the coun
ty. It suggests to its correspond
ents that they write plainly on
one side of the paper, avoid person
al matters that might give offense,
and sign their real names, which
will not be published unless so de
sired. Leave of! the “pen name."
Letters from Axson and Live Oak
received and withheld because no
responsible names were signed to
them.
