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.
