News Editor Tells of Meeting
of Georgia Press Association
The meeting of the Georgia Press
Association, which was held in La
vonia July 16th to 19th, was one of
the most successful and enjoyable
in the history of the Association.
Editor Rush Burton, the host of
the occasion, had not only the en
thusiastic support of his home peo
ple of Lavonia, but the people of
Toccoa, Hartwell, Royston, Canon,
Carnesville and the intervening coun
try vied with each other in trying
to see how nice they could be to the
press folks.
In Lavonia, where the business
sessions of the association were held
in the public auditorium, the editor
of the News was the house guest of
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Cleveland in com
pany with John M. Anglin, Jr., of
Lumpkin. These good people took
us right into their hearts and made
us feel that it was good to be
there. They have a delightful home
and most enjoyable surroundings.
One bright little son, Bobby, about
8 years old, completes the family
circle.
On the way up on Monday, the
press party were guests of the
Kiwanis club of the beautiful and
progressive little city of Toccoa at
luncheon in the dining hall of the
Toccoa Falls Institute, an interde
nominational school for educating
and training Christian young men
and women of small means. The
school, which is under the direction
of Rev. R. A. Forrest, its president,
was chartered in 191.1 and has had
marvelous success. The beautiful
twin-bridal veil falls ai*e on the
edge of the campus and are 186 feet
high, 26 feet higher than Niagara.
The view of the beautiful (Toccoa
is Cherokee Indian for beautiful)
falls will ever abide in the memory
of those who have seen them.
Monday night at Lavonia, the love
ly little Franklin county city, not
far from the South Carolina border,
the newspaper folks were greeted at
the high school auditorium with a
highly interesting program, which
embraced some splendid songs and
music furnished by local talent, an
address of welcome by Mayor J. R.
Dortch, a response by Editor J. R.
Perryman of the Talbotton New Era,
an address on “Editors and Ethics,”
by Mrs. Corra Harris, the famous
author of “The Circuit Rider’s Wife,”
and finally by an able address on
State matters by Georgia’s splendid
young Governor, Clifford Walker. He
impressed the press people and oth
ers as being very intensely desirous
of accomplishing good things sot
Georgia.
Tuesday morning the business ses
sion began with the annual address
of retiring President W. G. Sutlive,
which reviewed the past year’s ac
complishments of the association. The
second number on the program was
an address by Mr. J. D. McCartney,
of the Central of Georgia Railway,,
Savannah, concerning "Newspaper
Business Methods.” This was a
splendid, sensible paper and made
a deep impression on those who
desire to make a business success of
their newspapers.
M. L. Fleetwood, chairman special
committee on space grafting, told
the publishers how to show the
space grafters where to get off- By
the way, this committee was contin
ued and promises to do good work
/or Georgia publishers.
At the noon hour the entire party,
accompanied by many Lavonians,
motored over to Hartwell, another
beautiful Piedmont city, where the!
press people were entertained at
luncheon as guests of the people j
of Hartwell, following which there j
was an around the county tour,
visiting Royston (made famous by
Ty Cobb), Canon and Carnesville, at
each place being vocally welcomed
and “punched.” This was topped off
by a reception by the people of La
vonia at the Lavonia hotel, which
by the way is owned by our host,
Editor Rush Burton.
Wednesday morning’s session op
ened with a report from John Pas
chall, managing editor of the At
lanta Journal, that he had raised
some S9OO towards purchasing an
SIBOO press for the Berry school
near Rome as a donation from the
Georgia Press Association.
The next hour was given over to
the women members of the press as
sociation under diretcion of Miss
Emily Woodward of the Vienna
News, third vice president of the
Georgia Press Association. This
was one of the best and most en
tei’taining features of the business
session and concluded with a schol
arly address from Hon. John T. Boi
feuillet on the “Editor’s Wife,” and
a witty talk from President Sutlive
on “What Women Have Done for
the Georgia Press Association.”
At the noon hour a splendid bar
becue was served by the people of
Lavonia in a beautiful grove near
town. Following this Judge Marcus
W. Beck, presiding justice of the
Supreme Court of Georgia, deliver
ed an open air address to the gath
ering.
The afternoon session had several
interesting matters before it, one of
which was a proposition that the
newspapers of Georgia should create
a scholarship from each county in
the Georgia Agricultural College.
President Soule addressed the body
on this matter, telling of some of
the accomplishments of the school
and its capabilities for good.
Editor Charles Rountree ofWrights
ville was elected president, Ernest
Camp of Monroe first vice president,
and Miss Emiy Woodward of Vienna
second vice president. The other
officials —H. M. Stanley of Atlanta,
corresponding secretary, C. E. Benns
of Butler, recording secretary, and
J. J. Howell of Cuthbert treasurer,
were re-elected. The next session
will be held at Waycross.
Wednesday night was stunt night
under direction of Linton Starr of
the Georgia Railway and Power Go.,
an occasion on which the press peo
ple undertook to entertain their
hosts and they did it successfully
and hilariously —the audience was
hilarious, we mean.
Thursday morning at 8:30 the
press party bid their Lavonia hosts
good-bye and became the guests of
the Georgia Railway and Power Co.
for a two-day visit of inspection of
the company’s splendid hydro-eleetric
development interests in the North
east Georgia mountains. But a de
scription of this delightful trip would
make too long a story for a single
issue of the News and we must
leave our impressions for another
occasion. Suffice it to say that see
ing what is being done for the de
velopment of Georgia by this com
pany was an eye-opener to most
South Georgians and Linton Starr
will never do a better job for his
people than when he carried the
Georgia Press Association to see
their development works.

RID HIM OF BOILS.
Gentlemen: A few years ago I
suffered with rheumatism and had a
great many boils in the spring of
the year. For the past seven years
1 have made it a rule to take from
3 to 6 bottles of Harris’ 1-2-1 Blood
Remedy each year. Since I began
this treatment I have been entirely
free from boils and very seldom
feel any of my old rheumatic trou
ble. I always keep a few bottles of
your medicine in my home, and 1$ 1
used by my whole family.
Yours truly,
WILLIAM CRENSHAW.
