De camp, of the Gaffney Ledger, for governor in 1910.—Sumter Herald. I Our inability to attend the conven tion of editors in Gaffney last week was a source of deep regret, augment ed after reading the glowing reports of the interest and enjoyment of the meeting and the whole-souled hospi- talty of the Gaffney people under the guidance of the genial editor, Mr. De- Camp.—Laurens Advertiser. As soon as the Irene Mills’ people at Gaffney saw the members of the State Press association on Tuesday they forthwith gave each of them a towel “as a souvenir,” as they polite ly expressed it; but the News and Courier thinks the sharp-witted among “the boys’’ must have discovered an association of id<?!as in this delicate attention.—Anderson Mail.

The party was taken care of at Lime stone College, and Dr. Lodge, the president of this time-honored Insti tution, was exceedingly kind and at tentive to everyone. Ed. DeCamp and all of the Gaffney people have won a warm place in the hearts of the news paper fraternity of South Carolina. The magnificent reception given at Gaston Shoals by Mr. Oscar Shanks, of the power plant at that place, was one of the charming events in the history of the association. The next meeting of the association will be held in Greenville.—The Wateree Messenger. “I think his throat should be cut.” That is what the editor of the Char lotte Observer said to the editor of i lie Yorkville Enquirer the other day at Gaffney about the best, friend he lias in the world. \Ve are not sur prised that the champion perverter of Long Live Gaffney. (Spartanburg Herald.) Gaffney has won the good will and affection of the press of South Car olina, by its splendid entertainment of the South Carolina Press Associa tion during the session of that body that came to a close there yesterday. The hospitality of the Gaffney peo ple has known no bounds during the past week, and all that thoughtful ness and a genuine warm-hearted spirit of welcome could offer the newspaper people were theirs at the hands of their hosts. The meeting will long be regarded as one of the most delightful as well as one of the most helpful and instructive ever held by the press of the State. Such gath erings are good—they bring together the men who in reality are more close ly in touch with conditions in the State than any other company that could be gotten together and their meeting face to face for a discus sion, not only of things pertaining to “the shop,” but of matters of public | concern, broadens the view of all and doubtless enables them to labor more ; intelligently and hopefully for the 1 common good.
