Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-10-11

named for the Georgia School for the
training Of girls known generally as
the 'waywsrd girls home" is very
generally approved throughout the
State, If the comments of the State
press reveal the true status OF the
public mind with respect thereto.
Governor Slaton took more time
than usual to make up this board
as he was particularly anxious TO
NIL the positions with the very best
material available. 1t is a board re-
quiring persons OF much sympathy,
sincerity Of purpose, and deep human
reeling-sane persons no less than
safe personsl The impression Is that
the Governor accomplished complete
~ his high purpose in making up
the board as he did.
Mrs. William H. FELTON,, of Carriers
vile, and Mrs. /. z. Fitzpatrick, Of
Madison, the two women required to
be named on the board. certainly are
Ideally fitted for the work. Both are
women OF marked intelligence, in
fiuence and understanding.
Among the three men composing
the remainder Of the board. 1t is diff
flcult to discriminate. DR.. Ashby
Tones, one of the best beloved and
most earnest ministers of the gospel
in Georgia, whose home is in Augusta;
Mr.. Davis, of Waynesbcro, a man of
great breadth of learning and appre-
citation of the best in mankind; Will
mer Moore, of Atlanta, a busy man
In nF he nA n
of large enterprises who probably
could not be induced TO accept any
one of a hundred other appointments,
perhaps with a large salary attached
these compose the board which will
have in hand the management of this
home for wayv ard girls.
II is not possible that those men
and women so enthusia stically and SO
earnestly behind this movement in
Georgia for the uplift of fallen hu-
manity, could ask anything more OF
the Governor by way Of a board of
managers for their benevolent project.
In every sense of the word, the
board Is ideal
Shelby Myrick, OF Chatham, one OF
the younger members of the Legisla-
ture. is in Atlanta.
Mr.. Myrick is chairman of the very
hardest worked committee OF the
House of Representatives-ths Com
mittee on Constitutional Amend
ments. 1t was in session practically
every day OF the last summer session,
and its sessions were unusually pro-
longed. It's findings gave general sat
isfaction, too, and by the end Of the
session no committee of the House
came in for more praise!
This happy state OF affairs was
due largely to Mr.. Myrick's ceaseless
vigilance and close attention to duty.
a. well as to his careful analysis of
every proposition coming before his
committee.
Representative Louis 2. Wisdom,
of Forsyth, the lightweight-heavy-
weight of the present House, hest
tated IN Atlanta for a few hours to-
day. between Lawrenceville and Cum
ming, the latter burg being his home.
Wisdom says the folks up his way
are talking politics voluntarily not at
all nowadays, but he manages to men
ton the subject now ana then, par
ticularly with reference to the pros
poets OF his own return to Atlanta.
As a matter OF fact, Wisdom will
be returned to the next Legislature
without opposition-and perhaps he
ought to be, for he represents his
county most effectively and Worthily.
What's the matter with Uncle
Charlie" Bartlett that he kicks
grouchily about the reading Of the
baseball bulletins IN Congress, while
the Worlds Series is in progress1
What DOES Uncle Charlie" think
folks are interested in. anyway, If
not in baseball-and particularly just
now?
Baseball bulletins certainly beat
the average Congressional debate, at
least everybody, save, perhaps
Uncle Charlie" will admit that.
Former Representative Seaborn
Wright of Floyd, the man who put
prohibition in Georgia, is after EN-
again in Rome!
