are mostly colonies, although there Is one
general When a man gets right down to
holding public opinion in Georgia. he is
either promoted to the rank of colonel, or
his paper is edited by his assignee
These editors are members of the Geor-

the country for such fun as they want.
and they have been having no end of il

of the editors are accompanied by their
wives and daughters. In the DAYTIME
they visit the Stock Exchange. Central

dinner time. and in the evening they are
found on the roof gardens.
A reporter was at the Metropole at

Threats. They are quick-witted and
genial men. Most of them wore large

time that interested YOU the most2" the
reporter asked, There is nothing in the
speech of many of the Georgians TO dis

the editor whom the reporter addressed

to meet that Col. Edison an shake hands
and get an interview fob my papah, a

he ordered another drink invented by
Col. Hickey of Washington.

kaleidoscope in the white house when oil
Grovah had news that the House quit it's

made fine sight on that kaleidoscope
Still, 1t seems like Grovah can stand a

Washington is the center around which

vacation time. Yesterday each one had
copies of the evening papers, and was

The editors scattered about good deal
