PAGE 2—The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Oct. 12, 1967 1218 College St.. Newberry. S. C. 29108 PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY 0. F. Armfield, Jr., Owner Second-Class Postage Paid at Newberry, South Carolin? SUBSCRIPTION RATES: $2.00 per year in advance Six months $1.25. South Carolina has recently come in for some unusual at tention. Political and govern mental f jures from Washing ton, Michigan, California, Ark ansas, and other points have come either to see what we can do for them, or what they can do for us. In both cases, South Carolinians have seen fit to accord each of the disting- r 1 uished gentlemen exxceedingly warm welcomes. Vice President Humphrey, here recently to dedicate a mental hospital in Greenville, received a welcome commensu rate with the high office he holds. He said time and again how much he appreciated the warmth of the people of the state—and even more—he was impressed by the lack of dem onstrations and placards op posing his views on certain im portant issues of the day— something he sees almost every where he goes. Governor Romney of Michi gan, on a fact-finding tour to see what causes low income persons to migrate to the big cities, said he was impressed by what he learned and with the hospitality of the people of Williamsburg county. Governor Winthrop Rocke feller of Arkansas came to see how South Carolina was util izing a modem system of tech nical education to improve the economic condition of our state and its people. He liked what he saw—and how he was treated. Governor Ronald Reagan of California, although on a pure ly political excursion, was warmly received by all who saw and heard him, regardless of their political affiliation or leaning. The actions of South Caro linians are not surprising, for warmth, hospitality and gener osity are traditional with us. Our past accomplishments, however, make it even more important that we continue to uphold this reputation. More out-of-state dignitaries of high rank are sure to come. They will be welcomed.
