cooks of Carrollton this morning en-
tered the second round of the Geor-
gia Press association meeting trifle
more winded than they expected to
be after their first encounter with
the members, but determined to hold
out to the last dish. Aunt Maize
Pritchett, who presides over the
range in the particular household
where Uncle Jimmie Williams is
guest of honor, summed UP the sit
uation when she remarked to her
neighbor over the back fence; last
night: Chile, Use seen field hands
eat and Use seen preachers eat,
but desc heah editors is de outeat-
inest men what ever laid holt of
vittals."
What applies to the the Greensboro nt re
the bunch. for the states newspaper
men in Carrollton today from the
mountains and from the wire grass
have brought their appetites with
them, knowing full well what was
in store. And Carrollton has fully
lived up to their expectations: While
two meals and about 200 fried chick
ems have passed into history. already,
it seems safe to predict at this writ
ing that the cooks will outlast the
editors and that the plentiful pam
tries and sthe hosp1table pafts u
Carroll county folk will outlast them
both, the only slip up in this prog
nostication would be for Jack Fat
terson to take too many conStltu-
tionals. in which case all bets are
off.
All Called Of But Supper -.
The prime factor contributing 70
the showing the editors o are INA 1naN, ar5

washington Seems Winner
Unless some now unknown dark
horse enters the running the Geor-
gia Press association will meet next
year in Washington. This seems a
foregone conclusion, in face of the
warm invitation brought to the con
vention by Will w. Drummer and r.
o Barksdale, of the Washington
News-Reporter, and Gordon S. Chap
man and Sam Hyman. Of the San
dersville Progress. Several members
of the executive committee already
have declared their intention of
voting for Washington. The final
decision will be made at the last
| business session of the convention
Wednesday morning. There is, per
haps, no other convention in the
state so eagerly sought for by so
many Georgia towns as the press
convention, for it is the ideal con-
| vention for g city of the smaller
size to entertain. and when it meets
| in a city that city. has the oppor-
| tunity to win the hearts of a group
of men better able to boost her
| than any other.
The advance dope Indicates that
| the Georgia Press association, as
per custom, will re-elect it's present
| officers for a second term. They are
| J. Kelley Simmons. of McRae, pres
| ident; w. G. Sutlive, of Savannah,
