Money may talk louder, but it is
better it playing hide and seek.
One reason why the average editor
envies Jack Dempsey is because
none of his readers think they can
run the prize fight business as good
ma the Utah mauler.
The surtax was all right in theory,
but bo long as the wealthy can put
their money into hordes of tax-free
securities that have been issued, so
long will the possessors of money not
Do inclined to put their mountains of
spare change into industry, where it
is taxed.
TIME TO (JET BUSY.
Some criticisms are heard regarding
congress, and not entirely from
Democratic sources. Business interests
are beginning to demand that
efforts be made to bring business out
of the slump, so far as congressional
action can do so, and not to place
tariff tinkering ahead of this.
It is said by one observer that it
will take until fall for congress to
get through the tariff matters in
contemplation and that is too long
to wait for business aid.
Moreover, the prosperity that depends
on foreign trade ^cannot be aided
by a tariff. The latter can prevent
t '
goods entering the country?to a
certain extent?but it cannot cause
American goods to be sold elsewhere;
in fact, if a high American tariff proivokes
high tariff walls in other countries
it would prevent American
goods from reaching foreign marmu:

PRESS ASSOCIATION ECHOES.
The South Carolina Press Association
has held 4 6 meetings since it
was organized in 1876, but the meeting
in Greenville last week was probably
the most enjoyable one in 'the
history of the Association. We can
make this broad assertion without
reflecting in the slightest degree upon
the hospitality of the other towns
and cities in which meetings have
been held in the past 4 6 years. The
Press Association meetings are always
enjoyable. In every place in which
meetings have been held since we
Jcined the Association some 23 years
me menmers or tne Association
have been most cordially received and
everything has been done to make
their visits pleasant and enjoyable.
But for the past year the newspaper
men of the state have carried heavy
burdens and many of them have been
sc closely confined to their offices
thut when they met at Greenville last
"eek they relaxed for three days
and entered into the pleasures of the
occasion with an abandon which made
the week particularly enjoyable from
every point of view. The Greenville
folk are charming hosts and they had
prepared a program of entertainment
which kept their guests "on their
toes," so to speak, from the moment
they arrived in the city until they
departed Saturday morning.
Greenville ig no longer a town. It
is a metropolis. Its growth in the
last few years has been marvelous.
Ic is the distributing point for a large
territory and despite the so-called
Mbard times" cry business seams to be
brisk. Next to its banks the street
tiaffic of a city is the best index to
its commercial activities, and during
the three days we spent in Greenville
we noticed that ita streets were
crowded with vehicles, and businesi
seemed to be going on In the same
brisk manner as in normal times. We
asked a Greenville business man 11
there had been much of a slowing ui
of business among the merchants
*^h, yes," he replied. "We hav<
felt the depression here, but I don'i
think it has been as bad in Green
ville as in many other towns an<J
cities of similar sise. During the wai
business reached such proportloni
that it almost bordered on confusioc
and we had reached the point wher<
he city had to greatly expand or ac
ly invite trade to go somewhere
Business at present is slightly
( normal." This is explained prob
/by the fact that Greenville li
j largest cotton manufacturing city
the state and even in the present
oil" times its weekly pay roll rune
ito huge figures. We have been told
*at 5f large cotton mills in and
ind Greenville are controlled by
motile business men.
l tho last census Greenville took
d place among South Carolina
m in point population. Its corporlimlts,
however, extend only a
? sad a half each way from the
.*t house. The majority of its
oa mills and other manufacturing
?% tig Mb Seated outald# the corpor
m-THE
DILLON HE
ate limits. We hazard the guess that <
if the coroorate limits were extended
a mile further each way Greenville's
population would double, and
probably give her second place among
South Carolina cities in point of population.
Greenville leads the stale in
th' number of beautiful homes, and
while the figures are not available
just at this moment, yet we feel safe
in saying that she has more paved
streets than any city in the state.
As a newspaper town Greenville
ranks with any town of similar size
in the United States. She has two
newspapers?a morning paper and an
afternoon paper. The morning paper.
The Greenville News, is edited by
o. n. reace, ana vne fiedmont, the
afternoon paper, is edited by Col. J.
Rlon McKisslck. Both papers are
modern and progressive in their
make-up, and carry from 12 to 16
pages with every issue. The famous
> paragraph column in the Piedmont is
conducted by Geo. R. Koester, one of
the state's best known -writers. Until
a year or two ago Mr. Koesier had
devoted his entire time to editorial
work. He is a brilliant editorial
writer and his work was known and
appreciated even outside the borders
of his native state. A year or two ago
force of circumstances compelled him
to take over the paragraph column
of The Piedmont. Until then he had
never attempted paragraph work. He
har. made the paragraph column of
The Piedmont famous throughout
America. Not only is it the most wide
ii< ijuuicu puiiigrapu coiumn iu America,
but its "squibs" are flashed on
jtbe moving picture screens in every
city of importance in which the English
language is spoken. Col. Mc;Kissick
and Messrs. Peace and Koester
are charming hosts and the newspaper
men who attended the meeting
last week are greatly indebted to
them for many kindnesses and courtesies
during their stay in the city.
We brought back with us not only
a distinctly fine impression of the
city of Greenville and its charming
'people, but a most pleasant and
agreeable impression of the Piedmont
section as a whole. We do not like to
n;ake comparisons, but sometimes the
plain truth bluntly told does good, in
that it makes other sections see their
shortcomings and encourages them to
jgreater accomplishments. The Pee
I Dee is a great country?it leads in
jngriculture?but taken as a whole it
is 25 years behind the Piedmont. We
(left the train at Spartanburg and
made the journey to Greenville by
I way of automobile, a distance of some
120 miles. A car running at what they
jcs.ll "average" speed makes the trip
in 45 minutes. The whole Piedmont
is a net-work of fine roads. Leading
out of the principal cities for many
nules one finds concrete roads and
when the concrete gives out well
built sand and gravel roads take its
i place- The road from Spartanburg to
j Greenville?part concrete and part
sana and gravel?is what the younger
generation would call a "dream." It
is 3o smooth that a car glides over
it at the rate of 40 milea an hour
with scarcely a tremor. There are no
wooden bridges. Where it is necessary
to build a bridge, concrete and steel
arc used in its construction. The only
road gangs we saw were those doing
permanent work. We presume that
either Greenville or Spartanburg has
ten times more road mileage than Dillon,
Marlboro or Marion, and we feel
safe in saying that their road repair
bill is less than either of our three
Pee Dee counties. Much of the road
development in the Piedmont ig due
to the efforts of Mr. Chas. O. Hearon,
editor of the Spartanburg Herald, a
member of the State Highway Commission,
and a strong good roads advocate.
( Mr. Courtland Smith, of New York,
( delivered the annual address before
. the Association. Mr. Smith is a much
traveled man. The train on which he
arrived makes a day-light journey
from Greensboro to Oreenvllle. and he
had an opportunity to see the south's
greatest manufacturing section. He
was astonished at what he saw. In
a conversation with the writer he
said this section would meuure up to
some of the best manufacturing sections
of the north and east. He said
that he knew the south was making
wonderful progress, but what he saw
on this journey was a revelation to
him.
A week's stay in the Piedmont furnishes
material and inspiration
enough to write columns of this
magic land, but our space is limited
and we must bring this article
to a close. Some day in the not distant
future when the world returns
to "normalcy," as Mr. Harding would
say, it would be a good Plan if the
business men of the Pee Dee would
form a Pullman party and make a
tour of the Piedmont and see what
their friends in the northern part
of the state are doing. It would be a
revelation to many of them.
The meeting of the Press Association
was also profitable from a business
point of ytyw. For the past 41
|yaars Association has been a so
BALD. DKLLOK, SOUTH CMPUHA
clal organisation, and the constitu- <
tion prohibited the discussion of bus- 1
ii.es8 matters. At the Greenville meet-j
inf. the constitution was amended andj
lu the future it is hoped to have the(
different phases of newspaper-mak- (!
ins discussed in a thorough and practical
manner.
There were many timely and interesting
papers read and discussed ]
at the meeting. All the papers and
discussions were go&d, but particularly
interesting and inspiring was the (
paper, "The Newspaper of Tomorrow,"
by Mr. Robert Lathan, editor
of The News and Courier. There were
many favorable comments on Editor
Lathan's paper, and Mr. E. H. DeCamp,
of the Gaffney Ledger, a veteran
newspaper man who has an un
broken attendance record of 25 consecutive
years, said it was the ablest
paper he had ever heard re&d at a
Press Association meeting.
It was a fine meeting, full of inspiration,
and left a distinctly pleasant
impression of Greenville and her
delightful people.
