JULY 16. 1925 SPACES SHORTSIGHTED POLICY It is a shortsighted policy ort~Tfie part of any citizen having financial interest in a town to refrain from sup porting the local commercial organiza tion just to save the amount of the, dues. Rather every one should feel Dial the efforts of the organization are exerted in his behalf, and his propor tionate share of the necessary ex- 1 pense a personal obligation. Abraham Lincoln said, “I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. And I like to see him live so that the place is proud of him.” If a man is proud of the place in which he lives he will join its com mercial organization and help make it a better town. If the town is to be proud of him he must be found teaming with those who are trying to make the town a place of which he may justly be proud. »■ The citizen who is unwilling to help his town has no right to expect its people to patronize or cooperate with him. r " ’ THE PRESS MEETING The annual meeting of the South these good friends for a motor trip to Glen Cannon Falls for a chicken barbecue that was fit for a queen’s tooth. In the lovely grove adjoining the falls, we were welcomed to Bre vard and Transylvania county by two gentlemen who won the hearts of every editor, Messrs. W. E. Breese and E. P. McCoy. The business sessions continued Thursday morning, and at noon our association was host to the North Carolina Press Association at a joint luncheon, followed by a num ber of appropriate and interesting ad dresses, the Hon. Josephus Daniels, a former member of President Wilson’s cabinet, being one of the speakers on the program. At the conclusion of the joint meet ing, we were soon in charge of our good Brevard friends again and after a short breathing spell; were on our way to Pisgah National Forest Mem orial Gate, thence to Everett Farm where we were shown a collection of the world’s finest beef cattle. From here^ we were taken to Rockbrook Camp for girls where a pleasant hour was spent. This is one of the rfiost attractive and comfortable camps to be found anywhere. We found t^wo Laurens county girls connected with it as councillors, Miss Wofford of Laurens, and Miss Elizabeth Lynn of our city. Brevard has long been the chief center of the mountain camps for boys and girls, and with the new highways now opened, it is now easily -accessible to thousands of boys and girts in the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida. Returning to the city about sundown, we were guests at the Franklin Hotel parlors at a delightful reception tendered the newspaper men by the Woman’s Bureau of the Cham ber of Commerce. The two days spent in this thriving little city were full of interest and enjoyment. Surely, a more likable and hospitable people are not to be found. Friday morning we were taken from Brevard over the new Pickens-North- Carolina highway through Pickens county to the county seat. The high way hadXmly been opened for travel three days when we came over it, two of the bridges still being under con struction though almost completed. The road, a distance of thirty-four miles, one of the most delightful over which we have ever ridden, goes right through the heart of the mountains, is a splendid piece of engineerings And incidentally, the work of a Laurens county boy. We landed at Rocky Bottom, in the shadow of Mount Pin nacle, where Pickens county has built permanent camp for its boys and Most of us ble is th»t so to use them. h.ve brains.

Street Paving and Im- 7 pfovements 7 a Carolina Press Association held last week at Greenville, Brevard and Pick ens, was one of the most enjoyable during its half century of -existence. It was our good fortune, together with our friends, Allison Lee and L., B. Blackwell of Laurens, to attend the meeting. The convention held its first meet ing at the magnificent new Poinsett hotel in Greenville where an elaborate dinner was served, intermixed with stunts, fun and music. This is one Qf the most beautiful and modern hotels in the South and was “put over” largely through the efforts of Mr. John T. Woodside, well known Green ville banker and manufacturer, and incidentally, a devoted friend of Dr. Douglas and the Presbyterian College. * Early the next morning we were all loaded in Greenville cars and soon •n our way to the historic Caesar’s Head. The development under way here was a revelation to everyone, few «f the party knowing that there was anything like it in South Carolina. Here ye were guests for dinner of the Caesar’s Head Paris Mountain Company, headed by a most courteous and likable gentleman, Mr. Sam Zimmerman. 1 Dinner over, and everybody in fine spirits, we were soon greeted with a long string of automobile* from Bre vard. Each car was in charge of a lAdlr.ataf We feU iii good hands. Upon arritoihg in Brevard we were taken to the; Franklin hotel, the convention’s headquarters, and from that moment until we said good bye, there was a constant round of enjoyment for all. Brevard, a lovely little town of girls in club work under the extension service of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. In the new din ing hall, an old-fashioned picinc din ner was served by the women of the county. It consisted of everything good to eat known to food shops and was furnished in bountiful measure. Pickens county ranks ..high in educa tional advancement today. It is the banner corn club county of the South. There are over 1,500 boys and girls enrolled in the clubs. These organiza tions show a net profit of $25,000 in boys’ work, and for the past year the authorities of the Department of Agriculture stated that the best corn club work done in the United States was in Pickens county. After dinner the party proceeded to the Independent State of Pickens, where the women were entertained at the home of Mrs. T. J. Mauldin, and the men in the Masonic Hall where a number of clever speeches were en- jcyed. The program here concluded, the press party went to Greenville t> take afternoon trains for their homes,' thus bringing to a close one of the most enjoyable meetings in the asso ciation’s history. The good people of Brevard and Pickens will not soon be forgotten. The possibilities of their respective communities are unlimited —their generous hospitality wo do not believe can he surpassed anywhere.
