The Georgia Press Association met‘
thi§" year for the beginning of its
anjual pleasure trip which includedl
a ten days tour of Florida and Cuba
m beautiful little city of Val--l
. To.n new comer was indeed a
pleapant surprise—there is rare beau|
ty to be found heye, natural beauty,
nof'aa muck of it, but what there is
can compare quite favorably with
some of the beauty spots of beautiful
Florida. e
Oné spot in particular charmed and!
deligh!glj visitors to Valdosta. Altho
_it is_claimed by Florida, being a llt-‘
tle over the line, still it is reached
ihru Valdosta and can be relaonablyl
claimed by - this . progressive littlc|
oity also. This place of such unusuall
‘Weauty is the home of Dr. L. G.
“Hardman on Lake Elcyone which is
. veached. over the beautiful Loch Lau- |
re| Drive, After riding for several
miles over this will kept road border-!

¢b,a_«v§.jtgt arrives finally at the very
prattiest spot the mind can picture
nestling far back among the state
?J:l?;..l\g)lies and other evergreen
it an old fashioned colonial mansion,
the gii’hood home of ifs present own
er, the wife of Dr. L.-G. Hardman,
'l’h.lt.'ho‘m‘o contains many pieces of
interesting furniture en- |
shrined with memories and associa
tions with heroes of the old south—
the dining room being képt just as it
was in'tose old days of the sixties
the table at which sat many of Geor
gia's most famous men of the past
such as Alfred H. Colquitt, Alexan:
der Stephens, Bob Toombs, Jefferson
Davis and Jokn B. Gordon and a
host of thoze who lead ‘in the great
battles of the War Between the
States, In the old fashioned kitchen
the black mammy still reigns su
preme and is declared to be the
greatest treasure of all trespassers of
ita owner. In the yard the turkey
gobler, the stately peaccock and the
little. biddies hold equal place with
the black boys and girls who seeml
to.be part of the natural scenery in
the rear of the house. The cyes won-‘

is reached by a narrow path underl
shaded trees hanging low with moss.
Here is the boat house where the
fishermen draws up hoo kto unload
the great catch of fish which he
makes with slightest effort. The
scene here with the lake nparkling'
thru the trees and hanging moss is
very beautiful indeed especially as
the sun sets. The hospitality of the
people here is not unlike the other
beauties of the place. Mrs. Hardman
is indeed a charming and gracious
hostess and her husband is equally as
charming as a host, Mrs, Hardman’s
father, Mr. J. N, Griffin makes ev
ery one feel thoroughly at home and
guests go away feeling that it was
good to have been there.
Other beautiful places in and
around Valdosta are Twin Lakes andl
Ocean Pond. These places are now
being developed and improved, be-;
ing regarded as the gate way to
Florida which is supposed to be the
‘Land of Promise” A wonderful
amount of work and money has been
expended in bringing these places up
to a fine state of development. There
is an excellent bathing place here
with a large pavillion, cool shades
viting and attractive to all passeds
viting and attdactive to all passere
by. This is likely to be a growing and
thickly populated suburb soon.
Valdosta has a population of 13,--|
6500 intelligent, wide awake citizens
with a very active Chamber of Com-l
merce with many churches and beau
tiful residences. The educational ad
vantages are unusually good there
being seven grammar schools, an ac
credited High School, State Woman's
College and a beautiful site for the
proposed Woodrow Wilson College
for men, ,
Valdosta is already a beautiful;
town with many natural resources of |
which the people seem to be deeply;
conscious and earnest in their ef--l
forts to bring to its highest state of
development. With the soil, climatc.l
natural resources and energy that
these people possess what is not pos
sible to them now since they are
awake and alive to its grow:h? |
The Valdostans had prepared '
many lovely kinds of entertainment
for the pleasure of its guests. On ar-l
rival everything had been arranged
with cars waiting to convey the edi
tors to the various homes where they
were most delightfully entertained
On Tuesday night a reception ban--
quet was held in the Woman’s Build
ing, a club house worthy of the high
est praise It is large and comforta
ble and beautifully furnished with
harmonious draperies. The next
morning the buginess ' session was
held in the Strand Theater whtre the
people of Valdosta and the editors
had the pleasure of hearing Governor
Chas, Osborn in a lecture which was
followed by an cuting and barbecue
luncheon at Twin Lakes, On Wednes
day night there was a most delight
ful entertainment given by the Geor
gina State Womans College. These
girls deserve much credit, for they
prepared and served themselves the
dainty course dinner which was most
appetizing, and rendered more
agreeable on account of the charm--
ing girls serving it—all being dressed
alike in neat white suits. The dinner
which was served in courses was en
livened with songs, dances and in
strumental selections, These . girls
and the men’s quartet show that they
have much talent and it has been
well cultivated. The girls dancing
was especially graceful and pleasing
and the men were encored again and
again, The singing and dancing will
be long remembered as two most con
spicuous things of Valdosta along
with its hospitality. Along this line
should Jbe mentioned Mr. Brantley.
editor ot the Valdosta Daily Times
one of the best small town dailies in
the state. He acted as an ideal host,
having charg#l of the program and
making every one feel welcome, -
The editors were most royally ex.L
tertained by the Valdostans and thq;t
efforts were greatly appreciated and
will be long remembered. 4

Psychology Tests Not

, e
NEW YORK, May 3—x—Psyco
logical tests for detefmining the in
telligence are no more infallible
than old fashioned “written examina
tions” and a low score is not intel
lectual desth-warrang, Carl C. Brig
ham, associated professor of psychol
ogy at Princeton, said in a report is
sued today embodying the result of
a six-year research at Cooper Union,
“We find the tests of the greatest
use in locating talent” says Profes--
sor Brigham. “We"do not find that
they are negatively cignificant—that
low scores necessarily mean dullness{‘
or incompetence.. Unless a low score‘
in the test is eorroborated by othor‘
cvidence, it is very unsafe to attach
any wegiht to a single failure, |
The test from which Professor
Brigham drew his conclusion were
