William Cole Jones: A Sage of the South Remembered

This book is about the life and writings of William Cole Jones (1881-1963). From 1908 to 1951 he wrote editorials published by The Atlanta Journal. From tens of thousands of his editorials the author has selected relatively few for republication that exemplify his writing skills, sound judgment, wit, scholarship, and variety of topics. His newspaper also owned radio station WSB, from which he presented weekly broadcasts. Those reprinted here provide a concise history of World War Two. Also included are an address he made at Mercer University and essays he presented to "The Symposium", and exclusive literary club.
