JULY 8. 1908 Here >will The Press and Standard the people’s rights maintain. Unawed by influence and unbribed by gain. We are publishing this week several new advertisements of educa tional institutions in South Carolina, among these Leing one of tbe South Carolina Military Academy. There is one vacancy at this institution to be filled by competitive examination this year. We trust that there are several boys in the county who aspiring to win this scholarship. 0 J Bond has recently bten elected Superinteadent of this Institu tion and we can predict for it a con tinuance of its great educational work. here recorded that a true blue Carles tonian knows no more about the Piedmont than the true blue Pied* monter knows of Charleston. Voicing the sentiment of the bal* auce of the Low Country, we say:— “The Pidmont is not the whole thing,” though it is one of the con stituent parts of South Carolina Down where we know conditonr, in the Low Country, are many things that go to prove the Piedmont is not the whole thing. For ages the silent foroes’of nature have been at work building up a soil that for produc tiveness has no equal. The Piedmont has been chief contributor, and has given us such a depth of fertility that we have not yet more than tap ped its wonderful resources. When the hills of the Piedmont are trans ported to the alluvit 1 section of our State we shall then be enjoying, as we are now, the fertility of our won- derful soil, fanned by the breezes of are the sea, and warmed by the sun. To the average Piedmonter, the Low Country is as much a “land of We wish those opposed to bonding Walterboro for building a school house could take a trip to the towns of the up-country and see vhat is being accomplished there by everyone pulling together in all public enter prises, espcially in the way of educa tion. These towns are bonded and are enjoying such blessings as we are deprived of because of our lack of progiessiveness. When "will the citizens here awake to our possibili ties and learn to pull together for greater Walterboro! May the day soon oome. A daily paper was published by the Press Association last week by August Kohn Editor-in-chief, as- ’ sisted by the other editors. It was published by the Ledger foroe, but sec on the Ledger linotype, as* sisted by a junior linotype which was on exhibition at the college by the Mergenthaler Company. Seeing this opeiatsd confirmed this editor in onr determination to try to purchase one and issue two papers a weak later on. Limestone College is one of the best colleges for women in the State. It is controlled by; the Baptists, though not at all seotgriav Cm handled and sixty gills were them at the close in Jnoe, betides koal students. The courts hers art very thorough. Dr Lodge, the presi dent, is om among the ablest educe tisn in the State. Parents, in our •pinion, would make no mistake in seading their daughters here to bs THE PIEDMONT 18 NOT THE WHOLE THING. (By W. W. Bmoak, Jr. Published in Gaffbey Ledger during State Piem Association meeting.) When the above subject was pre sented to ms I know onr President did not intend to implf that, in the matter of entertaining the State As* ssoatton, Qaflwy is not “the whole thing}*’tha! in the estimation of tha people of the Piedarari, they are net the whole thing. OM of the qaaliftestioM tor naturalization as a Piadmonter is to have the bump of whole-thiag mm abnormally develop ed. So absorbed are they in this nnnetnml bump that they beoome oblivious that there is another portioa of the State, known as The Low Country. There is only one other pert of the State where snob a bump M ahanrmsl, and if in aweting a per. •on,hem aba says: *1 am from CMnten*pan an look Ibr it It wfll mtm steMg^ w# know, te o PMmsnter, wksn the smertfoa is vague promise” as was Florida, to tbe Spaniard. They think of it as a vast, misty, moequitoey, malarial swamp, with here and there a prominence on which negroes and coolers bask m the sun—tbe latter tbe prey of the former.gTo luc }, we would state that they were never more mistaken. The county of Colleton for example, contains the largest trucking section in the country, and the Norman H Blitch Co. are the largest planters of oabbage in the world. The largest lumber mill in the entire world is at Georgetown, while Colleton has close second in the large mills of tbe Westmoreland Lumber ( ompanj. In point^of intellect, other sections of our State furnish some able n en. In Duncan Clinch Heyward, tbe LawU Country furnished an exem plary* governor; and, but for tbe mviterious workings of Providence, onr next Senator. There is no ques tion as to the ability of some of the present candidates and in all pro bability our next Senator will be from the Low Country. Numerous other examples might be£ given, but one other will be a clincher—what is the native county ot our present Editor* in-chief, to my nothing of the many able waiters of the present and pass generations in the oountry Sonnth of the Piedmont? This motion ms? famish water power, bnt much of the fabric grows farther South. May each section do as it has done before—endeavor to make|South Carolina the grandest, noblest State of tbs Union, and may the Piedmonter, realize that there is a low country, and Charleston a Piedmont, and that all sections are -olesely interwoven in om destiny. ASSOCIATION AT GAFFNEY. Seldom does it fall to tbe lot of a poor mortal on this mundane sphere to be ao royally* entertained as was the State Press Association which met in Gaffney from Monday to Friday of last week. “The old man" of the Ledger, Brother Ed DeOamp, told m we would have the time of onr lives, bnt we did nut know what that meaat|till we experienced it In preparing for the meeting no detail was omitted. The editors and their “dependent females” were entertained in Limeetoce college by the people of Gaffbey free of ehargn Everything used except tbe tea, coffee sngarland salt was raised in Cherokee county, and so kotel in Booth Caro lina could have set a better table be fore them hundred editom and “de cedent femaleo.’* MyeawM w awpunMMmm* »« ~%iiek of ipam forbids car going *e .muoh into detail as we woald like to Ido in describing this .meeting. We and this editor and fSsmily were soon com fortably quartered in room 37 of Limestone college. Tuesday morn ing tbe Association was welcomed by addresses by Col.

Friday morning a portion of tboee present went on into the beautiful oountry of Lake Toxaway, N. C. for the annual outing. The others re turn sd to their homes, thns conclud ing what is conceded by all to be the beat meeting the Association baa ever hod.
