Par ker ut Greenville yesterday there passed one -of the truly great of the time? in this section of the country. In strength of mind und soul he tow ered uuovp th? average. It was not when at ibo height of his career as .1 great business gelus that hie real qualities shone forth, but lt was in adversity that thc mun which was in him stood forth most prominent. Most any man who handle? vast business interests und yields great power In thc industrial world can pose as great, whether lu- be truly great or not. But i it ls when misfortune has overtaken him in his business ventures that the' test comes. Mr. Parker had even j more than business reverses to try his soul in his lust days. He lived in I the full knowledge that a fatal dis euse liad laid its hund upon him and thnt lt wa? but a question of days un til lt wi uld be no moro with him. Hut throughout it all the soul of the mau stood out clear-cut and us h.\"d as Gibraltar. And, after all, that ls ail that counts, all that ls worth while. NI'PPORT TIIK LA DI KS A committee of ladles of the city will meet today for thc purpose ot outlining pluns for the encampment of tho Cl?mson College cadetH on the oc casion of their encampment hero In i tho near future. Thea? ladles should bo accorded tho fullest support, both In u material nnd n moral way. of every man, .woman und child who ls ut all Interested in Anderson. For lt is "up lo tlie ludies" ufler ull to muke the encampment a success from the standpoint of the cadet. For long af ter memory of Anderson's paved streets, her manufacturing enterprises and her push and ambition have fud cd from tho mind of the average cadet i lhere will linger with him recollec tions of tho lilt id "frills und furbe lows" of encampment week, the "re ception." tho "hop." Hie evening ho took tea nt So-and-So's. house, the blissful hour he spent chatting with "HEH" in tlie parlor ufterwardn, etc. Tho average cadet will uso such as this as his yardstick In measuring tho success of the encampment from tho standpoint of his own paniculur en joyment. So rally to the support of ? tho good women of the city in their' ondeavors to plan for the encamp ment of tho cadets. NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE The bi-annual, pre-camp,:i,n dis cussion of whether newspapers have lost their Influence on thc body politic ls going tho rounds of several papers pt the country, and opinions on the nubjoot aro various. Some aver thc j newspapers ure losing their grip on tho public mind, while others contend that the general public, In a large measure, still look to tho newspaper! -particularly the editorial column to do their thinking for them. Suchi discussion ls. of course, "shop talk" and has little place outside of meet-! ing of tho Press Association, where this and kindred subjects are gen erally discussed. However, since tho subject has been brought up, it ls well that every fellow ? scribe chime in with what he thinks of tho matter. We, for one, are Inclined to believe that newspa pers, as n whole, arc loslnc their in fluen?a to a degree. The cause wc do not attempt to point out, but wo believe flint wo aro not far wrong in asserting that the fault is largely with a newspaper's "news" columns. People, or rr-.her a great many of them, have learned to distrust a news paper's new columns. What they see in the ed i tor, ni columns may or may not Interest thom-lt depends. If the editor han views that coincide with tho .'rs, well, enough. Hut if the edi tor has something to say that is ut variance with their beliefs und con victions along the same lino they aro apt dismiss' tho editorial column with thc comment that "thal, ls Just one man's opinion" or "tho editor ls sin cere and honest, but Just a crank." lit other words, tho average man has long since learned to think for him self. And' while there are a great many who do not thlr.x there aro few lt any who are willing to turn the .Job over, to the ?diter and lot him do their thinking for them. We believe that that portion of the public which, bas learned to dist ms: the newspaper's news, columns is not wholly without justification in so do- ' , lng. The average newspaper ls not careful enough, or scrupulous enough, if you prefer,, with that which enters j Into the news columns. The publie ?5 lookJ?R for facia. They, wan?! the truth. They want it impartially pre sented. They want to draw their own conclusions and- do their own thlnk t?flfv That which goes Into the aver age : newspapers nowa - columns is generally ^written by ? youngster, whoso knowledge ol the subjects he handles lu of necessity i'.ulced. The average pay of the repc.ter in thiH state, we hhuuld guess, is about ?1 per week. Very often the news mat tor which is collected in a day's work hy tills reporter of the princely sal ary ls whipped into shape and passed out to thc printers to he set In typo and printed in the paper without be ing scrutinized hy the "desk man," thc editor, or any of the other "high er-ups" of the editorial rooms. While such a reporter may work conscien tiously, it is not reasonable to expect tiiat his product will pass muster al ways when put to the acid test by thc reading public, and a reading public which lias a great deal mor?' gump tion than said icporter of the princely sulary perhaps fjives it credit for hav ing. Krrors that are mad" in a situa tion of this kind, as wc have pointed OU'i, may he entirely unintentional. Hut the average reade/ doesn't ap licar to lake that into consideration. And why should he? Ile ls paying for a paper thal will give li fm the news - uccurate news. Impartial news, the truth, tlie whole truth and nettling but the truth-and lie is entitled to such a newspaper. Then there ls the reporter who can deliberately distort the truth In lils news ar;ides. Such ii thing can lie done, and has been done 'Tis true, his kind (In mu last long on thc self respecting newspaper. But il some times happens that he hangs on for u considerable spell. His fabrica tions; may not work any harm to any one. They may be of the harmless sort- "feature" stories, "human inter est" stories, etc., tu;. No one bothers with them enough to ?end in a cor rection, preferring generally to pans them hy with the comment "just an other newspaper lie." If Hie newspaper nlwoys absolutely impartial, say In the matter of poli tics'' It is commonly said that the newspapers have elected men to pub lic ottice. lt has been said In this state. Craming that the assertion ls ir ne, was tho otllce seeker elected through any editorial cornent on the part of tho newspapers, or was he elected through the inability, or the ref usn 1 of the newspaper to portray ari I'rutely through Its news columns events as they were? These are ques tion? which those who are interested may determine for themselves. Our belief ls that ithe weakest feature ot the average newspaper ls Its news columns. There is where the mirror should be held up to the world for th.* r"ader. that he may see things as thev really nre, not us tho newspaper of p-ejitdlcos might wish to have him seo them Let us give more attention to Hie absolute accuracy, the scrupu lous Impartiality and the saneness >f our news columns. And wc shall soon have i reading public whose confi dence in ihe newspapers will be un shaken, and when we have that then wo bOnil have all the Influence with the public that a wise and a Just newspaper could desire. A ?00D NEWSPAPER Congratulations are due tho new roglmo of the Granville Dally News, aclf-sty?cd "The Leading Paper of thc Piedmont*-and granted when tho territory extends no farther than Greenville's bounds-In tho improve ments that are being made in the quality 'of the sheet they are now put tlig out.
