Gaffney, June 30.—“Welcome, South Carolina Press Association.” That Is the greeting posted In many window* here and it is also in the hearts of these good folks. Gaffney, with Its six thousand population, and its keen desire to grow, is just large enough to take excellent care of the editorial band and not large enough to be in different. The welcome is hearty and earnest. Of course, every one ex pected Ed. H. DeCamp to work day and night, but this is a unanimous thing. Every one is seeking to bring a week of joy to the editors, and it Is this spirit that has made the Gaffney of today, with its six thousand popu lation. A few years ago it was hard- y konwn, but the Woods, the Lips combs, the DeCamps, the Parrotts, the Wheats, Carrolls. Gaffneys, Lit tlejohns, Jefferies, Rosses, Hamricks, Otts, Butlers, Osbornes, Johnsons and others have worked together as they are doing now in entertaining the newspaper men, and that is why they have here a wideawake city, with its Gaffney Manufacturing plant, its Limestone, Merrimac, Globe and Irene Mills, its oil and ice plant, its Lime stone College and its perpetual lime kilns. The editors aud their families are gathered at Limestone College, a beautiful place in the suburbs of the city. There is abundant room for all in the dormitory, and the plan of housing the Association at the college has proved excellent, as every one Is kept together and the meetings are held in the college auditorium. It was called to order by President E. H. Aull at 10:30 o’clock this morn ing, and with Col. J. T. Bason at the piano. “Praise God From Whom all Blessings Flow” and “My Country 'Tis of Thee” were sung by the en tire association. The association was then formally opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. A. M. Simms, pastor of the Baptist church, the chaplain, the Rev. W. P. Jacobs, not having arrived. Prof, H. P. Griffith, of the Limestone College, was then presented, and delivered a very warm welcome to the journal ists, telling of the wonderful growth of this Piedmont city and the great possibilities of this secton, and also paying beautiful tribute to the men who made history at Cowpens and King’s Mountain. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, In behalf of Limestone College, delivered an elo quent address, extending a most cor dial welcome. He paid a beautiful tribute to the old South, and urged the editors to conserve the best that was in that civilization. Dr. Lodge made a magnificent talk on the mission of newspapers, the old South and the duty of the press to the people. President Aull responded briefly to the address of welcome and intro duced Secretary R. L. Freeman, who also voiced the appreciation of the association for the warm words of welcome which had been delivered. This afternoon the citizens took the editorial party on a trip around the city. Automobiles and vehicles were on hand for the trip to the cot ton mills, the Ice plant and various enterprises. A considerable stop was made at the Irene Mills, where table cloths, napkins and towels are beau tifully made. The visitors were all given souvenir towels at the mills. Tonight Miss Mary Nance, the tal ented #young Carolinian, delivered a lecture on development of the schools. She talks well and Is enthusiastic in her great work. A. L. Lawsbe, Third Assistant Post master General, and Mr. R. H. Ed-* monds, editor of the Manufacturers* Record. The business meetings will close tomorrow and on Friday morning the excursion to Western North Carolina will start. The editors will visit Asheville, Hendersonville and Lake Toxaway, returning to Spartanburg on Monday morning. The Ledger, Gaffney’s hustling newspaper, has been issued dally during the convention. Editor De- Camp is an enterprising citizen and his efforts to entertain the association in royal style has been crowned with success. Gaffney People Should See It. (Yorkville Enquirer.) Colonel James T. Bason wrote up the Press Association meeting in Gaffney for the News and Courier, and he came pretty near doing full justice to the occasion. We would like to reproduce the colonel’s article if we had room. The Gaffney people should see it by all means. Dispatch es from the Press Association crowd to the daily papers indicate that the party has been having a great time at Asheville, Hendersonville and Tox away, and other points in the moun tains. FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER. I beg to announce my candidacy for re-election to the office of Railroad Commissioner. I am making my campaign not on promises as to what I will do, but on what I have done. Those who have had business with the Railroad Commission will testify that I have ever been ready to dis charge the duties of my office fear lessly, impartially, and to the best in terests of the people of South Caro lina, and that I have always been courteous to those desiring informa tion and relief. I am the only Railroad Commis sioner who has moved his residence to Columbia to be in daily touch with the work of the office. During my term of office I have in spected personally every line of rail road in the State, often walking cross-ties that I might be assured that the conditions of the roadbeds and trestles were safe. I have been often in every county in South Carolina, looking into the conditions of the stations, and im proving the conveniences of the travelling public. I have stood for lower freight and passenger rates, better schedules, and safer modes of travel. The handsome majority you gave me formerly has always been appre ciated, and has been an incentive to a faithful performance of my duties I hope to have your support in the coming election, and shall strive to ever render you faithful service.
