League's Newspaper Career
Began At Clinton High School
BY BOB KEATON
<> USC Journalist Student
* Taking over a 52-year-old
weekly newspaper and build
ing it into an award-winning
publication can be quite a
igian-size job.
* Paul League, a native of
Clinton, began this job in 1955
•When he took over as editor-
published of The Journal and
Tribune of Seneca.
^League’s Seneca publication
has won more state press
Awards than any other news
paper in South Carolina. It
currently holds the General
Excellence Cup for weeklies.
1 In addition to his publica
tion’s awards, League him
self now holds the title of
“South Carolina Newspaper
man of the Year.” League
received the award from Sig
ma Delta Chi, professional
journalistic society at the
University of South Carolina,
in October during National
t Newspaper Week.
As editor-publisher, League
-writes news, all editorials, all
sports, takes photographs,
handles some advertising ac
counts, and is business man
ager for his publications. His
writing staff for The Journal
Consists of three others, and
he has seven employees in
the mechanical department.
In addition to the Seneca
publication, League is also
editor-publisher of The Clem-
son Messenger, which he
founded in 1956.
i “I got interested in jour
nalism through working on
!The Sentinel of Clinton High
and from reading an awful
lot,” League said. He had
a lot of time to read and try
! to write during the depression
days on the farm in Clinton.
League graduated from the
University of South Carolina
school of journalis'm in 1941.
While in school, he was editor
of the student newspaper..
League worked in the news
room for The Charlotte Ob-
j server for a year after college.
In the Navy during World War
II, he participated in the in
vasion of North Africa, Skily,
and Southern Europe.
“I always had in mind that
I wanted to have my own
operation and realizing that
I needed to know both sides
of a newspaper, I went hack
to work in the advertising
department with The Char-

lotte Observer after the war,”
League stated.
League also worked on The
Winter Haven (Fla.) News,
and from 1949-54 he was re
tail advertising manager of
The Rock Hill Evening Herald.
League decided to go into
weekly newspaper publica
tion because “there are very
few opportunities for owner
ship in dailies.”
Commenting on trying to
cover Oconee County with The
Journal, League said, “That’s
enough, I’m not interested in
anything else.” Even that is
n<>t dull, as the Clinton native
said, “I’ve had a lot of threats.
Politics are rough in Oconee
County.”
League is married and has
five children.

CLEMSON'— Dry weather
in recent weeks has cut into
the state’s anticipated record
soybean crop and could have
alleviated the Critical storage
situation, a leading grower
says. , f
This is bringing a warning
to producers to be cautious
in selling at depressed
prices.
D. Leslie Tindal of Pine-
wood, president of the S. C
Soybean Association^ says
lack of rainfall may have
cut overall production in
some areas as much,as 15 to
20 percent per acre.
“This is the general con
census of growers with whom
I have talked,” says Tindall.
The natural crop curtail

storage facilities in the
larger soybean growing
