Forty-Sixth Session of Association. If there'be any class of South Carolina whose r?gulai is a more unceasing grind ti other, requiring constant ap-] day in and day out, week in ai out? year in and year out, i makers of newspapers. It is i der then that newspaper ? look forward with keenest a tion to the annual meetings Press Association as a dei oasis, these occasions always very pleasant socially, as well i ? . ful in a business way. The forty-sixth annual sess the South Carolina Press Asso was held in Greenville, the tain City having become a fi meeting place for the members Fourth Estate. The associatio met eight times in Greenville is more than double the numl times the meetings have been h any other place in South Cai The Imperial hotel, which is ace by many first place among the i of South Carolina, was headqu? for the association, the businesi sions being held in the large ps of the hotel. When the first session was c to order Wednesday morning bj A. B. Jordan of Dillon, the pres of the association, a very co welcome frpm the people and eil Greenville was extended by Mi K. Mrfuldin and Dr. W. J. McGlot Having formerly been recipient Greenville's very gracious hospi ty, the newspaper men and their J ilies were not surprised that su< hearty welcome was extended on occasion. Mr. Jordan has made a signal cess as editor and publisher of Dillon Herald. Possessing by greater business qualities than average newspaper man, he had ranged a very attractive progran for the Greenville meeting, enabl those who attended to carry soi thing practical and helpful ho with them. At the several busin sessions original papers were r< and discussed quite generally. I Robert Lathan, editor of the Charl ton News and Courier, read an teresting paper on "The Newspaj. of To-morrow," and Mr. L. M. Ri of the Union Times read a stro paper on "Editorials." Mr. W. Washburn of the Aiken Journal a: Review was unable to be present b sent in an excellent paper on "A vertising Rates as Related to Lab and Other Costs." Mr. Rion McKi sick, the editor of the G re en vii Piedmont, prepared a splendid papi on "The First School of Journalisnr and Mr. James D. Grist, Jr. of tl Yorkville Enquirer read a paper c "Human Interest Stories." "The A< vantages of Owning a Modern Offic Building" was the subject of a goo paper by Mr W. W. Smoak, edite and owner of the Walterboro Pres and Standard. These and other intel esting subjects were ably discusse from every angle, thus making th otherwise tedious and tiresome bus iness session full of interest to al who attended. The annual address of the conven tion was made by Courtland Smith of the American Press of New York Mr. Jordan was peculiarly fortunato in securing one so well fitted for ad dressing publishers, especially fron the standpoint of the foreign adver tiser who has always been a more o: less perplexing problem of newspape: men. Mr. Smith made a profound im pression on the members of the asso ciation, giving them something wort! while. ' Instead of holding a business ses sion Wednesday evening, the associa tion accepted an invitation from Dr. T. J. Watts to attend the address at the First Baptist church by Hon. Jo sephus Daniels, ex-secretary of the navy, whose theme was "The Ameri can Navy. Mr. Daniels handled this ever interesting subject as possibly n? other American can, owing to the fact that for eight years he was the leading factor in making the Ameri can navy what it is today. Mr. Dan iels' remarks bearing upon his trans formation of the navy through the barring of all intqxicating liquors was received by the audience with great enthusiasm. His reference to the important part the navy played in winning the World War in so short a time was also greeted with great en thusiasm. Mr. Daniels is a pleasing speaker and understands the art of getting very close to his audience at the beginning of his address. It was a great treat to be ?able to hear this distinguished American. Entertainment Provided. The newspaper men of Greenville, assisted by the business organizations of the city, left nothing undone that would in any way contribute to the pleasure of the newspaper folk and their families. Wednesday afternoon an automobile trip was taken to the Federal hospital four mites from Greenville where about 800 disabled soldiers are being treated. The vis itors were very cordially recei the officers in charge and were over the entire plant, where tl are not only nursed back to he? the most approved means knc modern science, but are giv< way of diversion while in the c escent stage, Vocational tri which will enable them to more earn a livelihood when they re civilian life. After making a tc inspection of this very inter and modernly equipped plant fi building men who are brok health, the visitors were invitee the spacious dining room of th< cers where an elaborate luncheoi served. After dinner speeches w pleasing feature that followed feasting of the body. Upon returning to the city ' nesday afternoon all of the vis were taken to the baseball where a spirited game between Spartanburg and ' Greenville ti ivas played, the visiting team b defeated. Thursday at two o'clock the n sers of the Press Association A ruests of the Kiwanis Club at ?laborate luncheon at the Imp? ?otel. This was an exceedingly pl mt occasion, giving the newspi nen an opportunity to meet and r ;le with the representative men ?reenville who compose its ranks. Thursday night the citizens ?reenville gave a large banquet he Ottaray hotel in compliment he members of the Fourth Esk Lt the conclusion of this feast a ni 1er of short, snappy speeches w aade both by the visitors and a rom the hosts. The men of Gre ille on occasions like this, all asions in fact, know how to nings just right. Those who T^ere ortunate as to be guests at the ( aray banquet will long remember s one of the most pleasant occasic f their lives. Friday, the last day of the conve ion, the chief feature of entertai lent was the picnic on Paris mou lin. All of the press party we ransported over the modern stret f road leading to this popular re ezvous in automobiles and were e bled to return to the city in tin ) catch the outgoing trains in tl tte afternoon. The barbecue and pi ic on Paris mountain was a vei nique occasion. Leaving out tl 2ast of i good things that had bee rovided in almost limitless quant es, the spending of a greater po: on of Friday alone amid such an ? .active environment was enough fe i^Iow-XAUntry. f ol]j^.

We wish the people of all part f South Carolina could visit Green ille and know more of this rapidl: rowing city, the Pearl of the Pied tont. In many respects Greenville i an ideal city, being richly endowei Ith natural advantages that are no njoyed by any other city in Soutl arolina. It is 1.040 feet above th? ?a level and the climate is ideal witl n average temperature of about 51 egrees. The practically limitlesi rater supply is obtained from natur 1 mountain springs, making f ilterinf nnecessary and eliminating alto ether the possibility of contamina ion. The city of Greenville has 17 large otton mills; 22 in the county. It is he home of presidents of 56 mills .'he annual pay-roll of its textile lilis is $14,500,000. Greenville has wice the number of spindles of any ther city in the South, with one ex option. Five lines of railroads enter Green ille, with schedules so arranged as o give 90 passenger trains each day. The annual pay-roll of the roailroads s $3,500,000. Greenville bas thirty-two miles ol >aved streets and one hundred and ?ixteen miles of concrete sidewalks. Eleven banks and four flourishing 3uilding and Loan Associations are loing .their part in the development >f this metropolis of tKe Piedmont, ;he summer capital of South Caro ma. Notwithstanding the season of jreat financial stress and strain through which we are passing, Green ville is now building a modern office building of sixteen stories, which will be the "outscrapingest" "skyscraper" in South Carolina. Greenville has male and female colleges that are the equal of any in the State, and the loyalty with which the institutions are supported irre spective of sect or creed, reflects the true Greenville spirit. The County's Modern Roads. By taking a joy ride with Mr. Peace, the editor of the Greenville News, in his new seven-passenger Cadillac one afternoon, we were af forded a fine opportunity of observ ing first-hand sixty-odd miles of Greenville county roads, which are unsurpassed in the State. Through a bond issue of one million- dollars Greenville county has solved once and for all the road question in that county. It is no longer a question of building roads, but merely one of maintenance. There is not a mile of public road in Greenville county of any importance that has not been graded and top soiled, making of it a road upon which a' car or a heavily loaded truck or wagon can travel satisfactorily any day in the year and [through all sorts of weather. This modern system of roads is one of Greenville's best assets. While the city's industrial support or backing is equal to or stronger than that of. any other city in the State, it has also a strong agricultural backing for many miles in every direction. A spin over Greenville county roads will cause any man to commit him self unreservedly to a modern road building policy for his county. With scores and hundreds of miles of good roads leading in to the city from practically every outlying rural com munity, like spokes of a wheel con verging at the hub, or to change the figure, like so many pipe lines pour ing the cream and wealth of the soil into Greenville's coffers, this modern city can defy deflation and depression of every sort. Closing Session. The closing business session was taken up with the reports of commit tees and the election of officers. Mr. lordan having served as president as long as the constitution permits, Mr. S. G. Osteen of Sumter was elected president;- Mr. Rion McKissick, ed itor of the Greenville Piedmont, first /ice-president; Mr. O. K. Williams of Rock Hill, second vice-president; Mr. August Kohn of Columbia, treasurer, Vir. Harold Booker of Columbia, sec retary. The members who attended the L921 session of the South Carolina Press Association were loath to turn ;heir faces homeward at the close >f the last session, so pleasant had >een their stay in Greenville. And ror these three days of delightful di rersion they were indebted more to he newspaper men of Greenville, Mr. lion McKissick and Mr. George R. Coester of The Piedmont, and Mr. B. I. Peace of the News than to any >ther persons. The universal wish of he. newspaper folk of South Caro ma is that Greenville, now easily the eading convention city of South karolina, be made the permanent neeting place of the South Carolina 'ress Association. Producing Clean Sweet Po tato Seed. Clemson College, July 18.-Dis use takes too large a proportion of he sweet potato crop, says Dr. C. A. ar( judwig, associate plant pathologist, tht ?rho declares that this loss is not thi lecessary since most of the potato an, liseases are easily controlled by bjr growing cleai seed (preferably from shj rine cuttings) ) storing these careful y, treating ?vith corrosive sublimate >r formaldelprde before planting and banting in ?isease-free soil. Now is tte time to begin planning 'or a clean crop of sweet potatoes ?ext year. This is especially true vhere then is more or less black rot >r wilt in this season's crop. These liseases, as well as others, are trans mited fron one year to another on ;he seed sock. They are especially ipt to be xansmitted where growers follow the'practice of bedding small potatoes ?id strings from the main :rop. Fros some points of view the strings a? better than large pota toes for bedding. However, strings and smal potatoes are much more apt to ciry disease than others. If strings ad culs are to be bedded they ougt, by all means, to be se lected fom healthy, high yielding hills at igging time. . . But aitill better way is'to use cut tings it raising seed. Cuttings should e taken from the vigorous, healthyvines and should be cut far enoughirom the base of the plant to avoid te possibility of including any disease tissues from the parent plant, j Corjsponding care should be tak en to pant them in clean soil. It is best ti put them where sweet pota toes hye not been grown for several years/if planted during July they will nlikely to mature a crop of dis ease fee potatoes which will not be too Ige for satisfactiry bedding. Inlny case the seed stock when gathjed next fall should be crated careilly and stored in a place in the hou? as far as possible from the mahcrop. Before bedding next sprij they should be given the cor rosi] sublimate or formaldehyde treaient to kill any disease spores thatnay have lodged on the out sidand should be bedded in clean soil B you know that the Ford Motor Co ?any rolls out a Ford every six sedas?

Clemson College, July 18.-What ?'^you doing for the comfort of 1 ; hogs these hot days? Remember 1 it they should have plenty of shade < d a cool place to wallow. A com- i lation of clear, running water, 1 ide and succulent pasture means t tter health, less feed, and more t rk, according to the Clemson Col- g ;e swine specialists. If you do not t re running water, a wallow of con- j ?te or lumber should be provided, e water in this can be kept clean 11 i fresh, and by adding a little oil s hogs may be kept free from lice, j ich ofter cause trouble at this sea- j U Avoid the filthy, stagnant pool, ^ ich is foul-smelling, unsightly and sanitary, and is especially danger i for the young pigs. They get ited with the filth, have rough . its, skin diseases, and sores, and r m to grow smaller instead of larg Hogs should have access to fresh ter at all times so that it will not * necessary for them to drink from ! wallow. . * Do not expect the young hogs to y ?p healthy and make satisfactory c ns on pasture alone. They will be ne thin, their vitality will be low- t id, and they will be easily suscep- _ le to the attacks of parasites and eases.

It has "seen a light" which has ?ffectively informed the legislative nind on two points; the first, that )eer has no.qualifications whatsoever ts a health-builder, and the second, hat its manufacture and sale is a rame so lucrative for the brewer and he retailer as to have none of the as sets as a fair business proposition. Some would even call it a colossal lumbug. On June 3, a letter containing the Allowing information was sent to Hr. Volstead by a friend of prohibi ten in New York city: "Some years ago, a German ehern st was brought to New York by a certain brewing company. Said ehern st was brought to make beer without na?t or hops. A five-year contract, at i salary of $10,000 a year was ar anged. When said chemist had been wo years here, the brewery com >any had found out his formula for he making of beer without malt or lops, so they discharged him. The hemist then brought suit in the Su ?reme Court in New York City for he sum of $30,000, being the bal nce of the contract. He stated, under >ath, that the beer was manufactured it a cost of less than lc per gallon! Ie also' told how many hundreds of housands of gallons he had made luring the two years while he was in he employ of the company. He made amples in court of the said beer. He iron his suit and the brewing com lany paid him $30,000, and the costs f the suit. This is the stuff brewers nd quack doctors want Congress to egalize. Ninety per cent of the best 1 ?hysicians in the United States do tot prescribe beer as medicine-be ause it isn't!" This illuminating statement, our nformant adds, was forwarded to lr. Volstead, accompanied by the equest that he give the facts to -e udiciary Committee and to Congress irhich he evidently has done without ass of time.-Christian Herald. i WANTED: TIRE SALESMAN to : ell low priced guaranteed tires.
