Newspaper Folk. The hundred newspaper men and women gathered at GOaffney are representatives of that which is best and noblest in South Carolina. The gathering is thoroughly represen tative. Not all the newspaper workers in the State are herIe and1( the pity is that more are n~t here to join in the pleasures that have been provided; to talk shop and to enjoy a brief and needed rest. No people on earth deserve a chance to get away from the "everlasting grind" than do these men and women, who day after day toil to provide the news. Dr. Lod(1e said that he thanked God that there was not a single yellow journal in South Carolina; this wats simply saying there is not a dishonoprable or unclean newspaper published in all Caro lina. It may be more remuner ative to publish a "sensational sheet," but that Is not the sort of journalism that is practiced in this proud old state-and wvill never be. Newspaper workers deserve appreciation and they are receiv ing it more every (lay. It is largely beCcause people are better informed, because they read more and because they see the results of conservative and well dlirected journalism. The rewards of the real news paper man arc not what they should be, but that willl come too, in due time. An indepen dent and self-respecting press I the surest and quickest way t( receive just a, preciation.-Gaff ney Ledger. It Is not often that this editoi makes a trip and comes back tc gush over it, but the trip lasi week to Gaffney, S. C., is on( requiring mention. It being th( 2ccasion of the annual meeting f the State Press Association. The largest gathering of Edi bors in the history of the Asso 3iation was this meeting, which was held in Limestone College. The- program of the associatio, wvas an exceptionally well-ar Langed one and the addresses by .iss Mary T. Nance and Messrs. A. T. Lawshe, 3d Asst. Post qfaster General, of Washington, L). C., and R. H. Edmonds, edi or of the Manufacturers' Record, >f Baltimore, Md., were all that ould be desired, and the asso Aation was very fortunate in seciring these speakers. The association was the guest >f the city, and the citizens -f that hustling, bustling, thriving place did all that lay within their power to make the sojourn in :heir midst a pleasant one, It was a pleasure to "Lodge" there And when it became time to .0eC'aiip" tler0 Was an exprcs .ion of gelluinke sorrow. 'Ihe excursions aboult the city. to the pu blic buildings, to the 1uills, to their vaiious mainiufac Lories, the picnic at the Gaston Shoals Power C'o's. plant on Broad river-everything they (lid-was for the instruction, benfit, pleasure and am use mnent of the associatioi and there was no hitch iln any part of the pro'yam of entertainment. "The 4ld 111111 (f the Ledlger, who arranged and planned the entertainmniIm t for his friends and Gatfney's guests, has the satisfact ion of knowing that he carried (it his program perfect l, and that the citizens of Ik towuI stool by him nobly. He and the town may have their Personal or political differences, but inl the matter of entertain ing the South Carolina State Press Association they were .in perfect accord. Gaffney is a good town, a growving town of some 7,000 in. habitants and the people are standling by Ed DeCamp and the Gaffney Ledger; for they standl for truth, right, justice and Gaffney, first, last and all the time. The associatiori closed its busi ness session Friday morning and left on a special train for ar> outing in the mountains, going by way of Marion to Asheville, then Hendersonville, and Lakt Toxaway. A report from some of those who made this trip say it was one of the most delight ful outings ever taken by th< association. At the invitation of Greenvill the association will meet ther< next year.
