THAT YORK TRIP Among the experiences which the editor of The Press and Standard will always have to look back upon hs oases in the pathway of life, will be the 42nd State l’r-#s Association meeting, held from Wt-dnenJay, June 7, through to Saturday, Juue 10, at York. In this quaint and historic old town in upper Sou'h Carolina reside some of the cho.'eo ^cpie of the country, and peoole wno cap oe as charming as any vo have ever met. We have been told that York is "A good place to llvV* the full force of what this means did not dawn upon us till we sMounud there four days. Now we ear. Join in the saying that “York is a good place to live.” The editors, and those acrunpa’jy- Ing them, were received into the homes of York wifh open arms, and nothing was too good for them for the time they stayed. If there was one man. woman or child in the State Press association who did not enjoy York and the hospitality of her good people,* there Is wrau-rhing radically wrong with that pe*-son. It certainly could not be raid that any fault lay with the gooj people of the town. It was the good fortune of the editor of The Press and Standard to be assigned to the home of Mi and Mrs. O. E. Wilkins. Mr. Wilkins came to York from Gaffney about 12 years ago. and Is now among the leading citizens of the town. He is president of The F^st National Bank of York, an Institution which ranks easily with the best in the State, v The home of the hank Is a handsome new building in pressed brick and marble, with elegant fit tings for the interior. It Is Just across the street and facing the handsome new court house of which the town and county of York are alike proud, and they claim the dis tinction of having the best coutt V? u8 e Jn the State, and we have no ey^ence to the contrary. The elegance which adds distinc tion to these buildings is seen ev erywhere in the town. The homes are alike beautiful and comfortable, and much could be said of the beau tiful democratic, aristocratic home life of this good people. The peo ple here never feel that they are superior to anyone else, and no one ever passes another without a kind word and a cherry greeting. Hospi tality such as was given the news paper folk could not be “put on“ for any special occasion, but to be so genuine must be daily practiced. The editor of The Press and Standard, accompanied by hi* son. William, were expected at the home of Mr. and Mrs, Wilkins as simply “W. W. Smonk and son.” a state ment which in point of lack of definiteness caused the elder daugh ter of the household. w e were told a bit of disappointment, as the boy in question was a bit too "junior.” but which fitted exactly into the pUns of the other daughter, who was Just of the right age to feel companionship with our 12 year old youngster. We reached our destination late Wednesday afternoon, and from then on there wa* one round of entertain. meat which lasted from early la the ^ mlaf till lato at Bight. Wed- a tad ay night wan a aaatiag of the editor* aad aeme dtaeaaakma aa well aa a speech fitoa the bnaiaeaa man ager of the Augusta Chronicle, J. C.. KeAaltffe. • Thurdday there waa a trip Jo Klags Mouataia, where the patriots of the feevolutionary war licked to a frassle, the English gad the toriea under Denar*! Ferguson. Here an addrsaa waa heard by Rion McKis- atefe, associate editor of the Green ville X>aUy Newt, la which this gift ed weaker yeclted the story of the battle. . The moaumeuts, the grave bf/Ferguson, and ottier points of in terest ware here inspected and then the party, composed of 52 automo- biles, wended its way to Unwood, N. C., where at a girl's school, other automobiles had preceded from York with a sumptuous dinner which was waiting the hungry horde. Fol lowing this was a ride through the foot hills of the mountains to Gas tonia. N. C., and back by another route to York in.time for a big re ception to the editors by the town folk. Friday was the business session of the association. Preaident Wil liam Banka and the other officers were re-elected, some papers read, and the place of meeting selected. The editors from Southern Carolina wished to bring the association to this section of the State for the next year, and worked to have an invita tion from Beaufort accepted, which was done, by a very flattering vote over six places, all but three votes being cast for Beanfort. Friday nlghf Dr. Talcott Williams, dean of the school for Journalism of the Co lumbia University, delivered a mast erly address to the editors and townsfolk. Saturday, the u. * day of the meet ing, was spent on a trip up into th« Blue Ridge mountains, to Edgemont. N. C., a distance of 110 miles, and an elevation of 2,800 feet. This trip waa over the splendid line of the Carolina A North-Western Railway in a special train furnished by the railroad officials, who themselves accompanied the party In order to make sure that nothing was left un done to give the visitors a good time. We reached St. George - Sunday morning at 6:15 o’clock, and in an other hour we were at home, having brought back one more pleasant event in life to hang in memory's casket to think of and ponder over for many, many moons./York and the home of the Wilkins will be synonyms of hospitality and good time. “York is a good place to live.” • ****• * **.* *****{ Mr*.

Elzie Myers, a Colleton boy, lives there and has many friends In York. Rev. Henry Stokes, who for four years was pastor of the Methodist church In Walterboro, is finishing up a four year stay in York, where he is justly popular with all denoni- natlons. One of the most interesting visits we had was to see A. W. Smoak, a deaf mute, who has been living in York for many years. We found him at work in his shoe shop, hut he teemed glad to see another Smoak. and stopped to write up a ream or two of paper asking about the folks back home and telling in teresting happenings in his own family. He has several children, like himself and their mother, deaf mutes, but as bright and brainy as 'hey can be. and nearly all of them graduates of Cedar Springs college, and all doing well. Much more could be said of this wonderful meeting of the State Pres* association, but *pace forbids further comment. \- **************** * * * TABOR SCHOOL * * * **************** Ruffin, June 19—Owing to the busv season it was decided at our last meeting not to have a social meeting for the month of June, but on July 4th. we will have s n enter tainment.
