He and the town may have their personal or political differences, but In the mat ter of entertaining the South Caro lina State Press Association they were In perfect accord. Gaffney Is a good town, a growing town of some 7,000 inhabitants and the people are standing by Ed De- Camp and the Gaffney Ledger; for they stand for truth, right, justice and Gaffney, first, last and all the time. The association closed its business session Friday morning and left on a special train for an outing in the mountains, going by way of Marion to Asheville, then Hendersonville and Lake Toxaway. A report from some of those who made this trip say it was one of the most delightful out ings ever taken by the association. At the invitation of Greenville the association will meet there next year. —Pickens Sentlnal Journal.

You do not realize how much good you can do by saying something kind about your neighbor rather than something evil. Solomon says “Good deeds and kind words are like apples of gold in pitchers of silver.” • e e The county campaign opened yes terday at Timber Ridge, where the first speeches were made. All the candidates acquitted themselves well. It Is essential that the people of Cher okee select the very best people who offer themselves for office. In order to do this it is necessary for the peo ple to go out and hear the candidates. We trust all the county meetings will be attended and each aspirant wll be given respectful attention. Meeting of Newspaper Men at Gaffney. (Charlotte Observer.) The South Carolina Press Associa tion is composed of a most agreeable body of gentlemen and Its meeting now in progress at Gaffney is an ideal one. The people of the city are ex pressing their hospitality whole-heart edly and with unanimity. The ses sions are being held and the guests quartered at Limestone College, just outside the town, in the summer va cation, and the liberties of the place are being graciously extended by its able and accomplished president, Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, who extended a most handsome address of welcome. Mr. E. H. Aull, of The Newberry News-Herald, the president of the as sociation, is in charge, with Mr. Ed. DeCamp, of The Gaffney Ledger, as sisting as director general, with every man and woman of Gaffney at his back. Yesterday’s event was an excursion Gaston Shoals on Broad river, where an electrical development of ten-thousand horse-power has just been completed. This work is in charge of Mr. Oscar Shanks, who was the particular host of the occasion, and under whose direction the visit ors, carried on a special train, were shown the power-house, dam and grounds and were entertained at luncheon afterwards. The guests, many of whom were ladies, must have numbered two hundred. Nothing which could have made the pleasure of the day complete was lacking and afterwards Mr. Shanks was made the unwilling victim of resolutions of hanks and be forced to say some words of acknowledgement. The company making this development, most of the product of which has been sold, is a Pittsburg organization, while Mr. Shanks, the manager, is a Ken tuckian, a native of Breathitt coun ty, it Is said. Last night addresses were deliver ed by Third Assistant Postmaster General A. R. Lawshee and Mr. R. H. Edmonds, editor of The Manufactur ers' Record. This is not Intended for a report but only a passing reference and an acknowledgment of manifold court esies and the pleasure felt in renew ing old vows and the formation of new friendship. As for Gaffney, alert, attractive and prosperous, it is cover ing itself with glory in its spirit of entertainment ANNOUNCEMENT.

T V £ It The Goucher Picnic, was my pleasure to be present The Press Association. It is not often that this editor makes a trip and comes back to gush over it, but the trip last week to Gaff ney, S. C., is one requiring mention It being the occasion of the annual meeting of the State Press Associa tion. The largest gathering of editors in the history of the association was this meeting, which was held In Limestone College. The program of the association was an exceptionally well arranged one and the addresses by Miss Mary T Nance and Messrs. A. T. Lawshe Third Assistant Postmaster Genera of Washington, D. C., and R. H. Ed monds, editor of the Manufacturers’ Record, of Baltimore, Md., were all that could be desired, and the asso ciation was very fortunate in secur ing these speakers. The association was the guest of the city, and the citizens of that hurt ling, bustling, thriving place did all that lay wlBiin their power to make the sojourn in their midst a pleasant one. It was a pleasure to “Lodge ’ there and when it became time to "DeCamp” there was an expression of genuine sorrow. The excursion about the city, to the public buildings, to the mills, to their various manufactories, the picnic at the Gaston Shoals Power Co.’s plant on Broad river—everything they did —was for the instruction, benefit, pleasure and amusement of the asso ciation end there was no hitch In ary part of the program of entertainment. "The Old Man of The Ledger,” who arranged and planned the entertain ment for his friends and Gaffney’s guests, has the satisfaction of know- at the picnic at Goucher on Saturday, the 25th lust. I have been at many picnics, but this one far exceeded any I have ever attended. The ex cellent dinner was spread in the grove under the shade of the trees. The manner in which it was manag ed showed that the Goucher people know how to do things right. Ropes were stretched all around the table and young men and young ladies handed the good things over the rope to content the inner man. Twelve 1 askets full were left over; enough for supper. The good order of the young people, especially the boys, was noticeable. I didn’t see a boy smoking a cigarette before nor afler Roys, I hope I may never see yo”. with a cigarette In your mouth. I wish I had the pen of a ready writer to portray to you the evil of it; what scientific men say about it. But lo and behold, I did see an old foggy with a pipe In his mouth puffllng away. I tell you, if you will smoke, smoke the pipe, hut I say unto you, don’t smoke at all. Now for the speaking, there were several talks made. Rev. Guy, Mr. Wiliams, Hon. R. C. Sarratt, Hon. J. C. Otts, Prof. Hall and the best was kept for the last. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, and all the addresses' were good. Hurrah for Goucher. It should have a picnic every year and let tlu- peo ple come together and be social. It Is the good part of life with society. Life Is a failure, yes, it is miserable. W. R. L.
