FLORENCEISM.
Florenceism is the highest type
of Americanism. Florenceism is
simply the erystalizatiou of that
spirit which fills and enthuses th.c
very being of every true Florentine;
making him or her not merely a home
town booster, but a devout apostle of
a yet greater and grander Florence;
bringing to him or her a vivid real!- ij5pg_ -Margaret
ration that the city—the Gate City
of South Carolina—is just <now en
tering upon the golden era of her
greater achievement. Florenceism
is merely an infatuation of the sane
ness of thought with the sureness of
Judgment that guides her sons and
daughters along the paths which lead
to.the consmnation of the city’s des
tined greatness. Florenceism is the
city’s panacea fer those petty fac
tions jealousies and suspicions that
stand out.as a nlgntmare in the way
of progress in far too many other
Sofitb Carolina towns and communl
tics. Florei ceism is the force that
Ims made it possible for the 'Gate
City to force h’r way from the nine-
th place in the ranks of South Caro
lina towns, within the short span of
twenty years. Such a result was not
attained through fancy nor through
fiction, but through Florenceism—the
