Forty-Sixth Session of
Association.
If there'be any class of
South Carolina whose r?gulai
is a more unceasing grind ti
other, requiring constant ap-]
day in and day out, week in ai
out? year in and year out, i
makers of newspapers. It is i
der then that newspaper ?
look forward with keenest a
tion to the annual meetings
Press Association as a dei
oasis, these occasions always
very pleasant socially, as well i
? . ful in a business way.
The forty-sixth annual sess
the South Carolina Press Asso
was held in Greenville, the
tain City having become a fi
meeting place for the members
Fourth Estate. The associatio
met eight times in Greenville
is more than double the numl
times the meetings have been h
any other place in South Cai
The Imperial hotel, which is ace
by many first place among the i
of South Carolina, was headqu?
for the association, the businesi
sions being held in the large ps
of the hotel.
When the first session was c
to order Wednesday morning bj
A. B. Jordan of Dillon, the pres
of the association, a very co
welcome frpm the people and eil
Greenville was extended by Mi
K. Mrfuldin and Dr. W. J. McGlot
Having formerly been recipient
Greenville's very gracious hospi
ty, the newspaper men and their J
ilies were not surprised that su<
hearty welcome was extended on
occasion.
Mr. Jordan has made a signal
cess as editor and publisher of
Dillon Herald. Possessing by
greater business qualities than
average newspaper man, he had
ranged a very attractive progran
for the Greenville meeting, enabl
those who attended to carry soi
thing practical and helpful ho
with them. At the several busin
sessions original papers were r<
and discussed quite generally. I
Robert Lathan, editor of the Charl
ton News and Courier, read an
teresting paper on "The Newspaj.
of To-morrow," and Mr. L. M. Ri
of the Union Times read a stro
paper on "Editorials." Mr. W.
Washburn of the Aiken Journal a:
Review was unable to be present b
sent in an excellent paper on "A
vertising Rates as Related to Lab
and Other Costs." Mr. Rion McKi
sick, the editor of the G re en vii
Piedmont, prepared a splendid papi
on "The First School of Journalisnr
and Mr. James D. Grist, Jr. of tl
Yorkville Enquirer read a paper c
"Human Interest Stories." "The A<
vantages of Owning a Modern Offic
Building" was the subject of a goo
paper by Mr W. W. Smoak, edite
and owner of the Walterboro Pres
and Standard. These and other intel
esting subjects were ably discusse
from every angle, thus making th
otherwise tedious and tiresome bus
iness session full of interest to al
who attended.
The annual address of the conven
tion was made by Courtland Smith
of the American Press of New York
Mr. Jordan was peculiarly fortunato
in securing one so well fitted for ad
dressing publishers, especially fron
the standpoint of the foreign adver
tiser who has always been a more o:
less perplexing problem of newspape:
men. Mr. Smith made a profound im
pression on the members of the asso
ciation, giving them something wort!
while.
' Instead of holding a business ses
sion Wednesday evening, the associa
tion accepted an invitation from Dr.
T. J. Watts to attend the address at
the First Baptist church by Hon. Jo
sephus Daniels, ex-secretary of the
navy, whose theme was "The Ameri
can Navy. Mr. Daniels handled this
ever interesting subject as possibly
n? other American can, owing to the
fact that for eight years he was the
leading factor in making the Ameri
can navy what it is today. Mr. Dan
iels' remarks bearing upon his trans
formation of the navy through the
barring of all intqxicating liquors
was received by the audience with
great enthusiasm. His reference to
the important part the navy played in
winning the World War in so short a
time was also greeted with great en
thusiasm. Mr. Daniels is a pleasing
speaker and understands the art of
getting very close to his audience at
the beginning of his address. It was
a great treat to be ?able to hear this
distinguished American.
Entertainment Provided.
The newspaper men of Greenville,
assisted by the business organizations
of the city, left nothing undone that
would in any way contribute to the
pleasure of the newspaper folk and
their families. Wednesday afternoon
an automobile trip was taken to the
Federal hospital four mites from
Greenville where about 800 disabled
soldiers are being treated. The vis
itors were very cordially recei
the officers in charge and were
over the entire plant, where tl
are not only nursed back to he?
the most approved means knc
modern science, but are giv<
way of diversion while in the c
escent stage, Vocational tri
which will enable them to more
earn a livelihood when they re
civilian life. After making a tc
inspection of this very inter
and modernly equipped plant fi
building men who are brok
health, the visitors were invitee
the spacious dining room of th<
cers where an elaborate luncheoi
served. After dinner speeches w
pleasing feature that followed
feasting of the body.
Upon returning to the city '
nesday afternoon all of the vis
were taken to the baseball
where a spirited game between
Spartanburg and ' Greenville ti
ivas played, the visiting team b
defeated.
Thursday at two o'clock the n
sers of the Press Association A
ruests of the Kiwanis Club at
?laborate luncheon at the Imp?
?otel. This was an exceedingly pl
mt occasion, giving the newspi
nen an opportunity to meet and r
;le with the representative men
?reenville who compose its ranks.
Thursday night the citizens
?reenville gave a large banquet
he Ottaray hotel in compliment
he members of the Fourth Esk
Lt the conclusion of this feast a ni
1er of short, snappy speeches w
aade both by the visitors and a
rom the hosts. The men of Gre
ille on occasions like this, all
asions in fact, know how to
nings just right. Those who T^ere
ortunate as to be guests at the (
aray banquet will long remember
s one of the most pleasant occasic
f their lives.
Friday, the last day of the conve
ion, the chief feature of entertai
lent was the picnic on Paris mou
lin. All of the press party we
ransported over the modern stret
f road leading to this popular re
ezvous in automobiles and were e
bled to return to the city in tin
) catch the outgoing trains in tl
tte afternoon. The barbecue and pi
ic on Paris mountain was a vei
nique occasion. Leaving out tl
2ast of i good things that had bee
rovided in almost limitless quant
es, the spending of a greater po:
on of Friday alone amid such an ?
.active environment was enough fe
i^Iow-XAUntry. f ol]j^. Go_i?rnor COOJF

Greenville Grows Greater.
We wish the people of all part
f South Carolina could visit Green
ille and know more of this rapidl:
rowing city, the Pearl of the Pied
tont. In many respects Greenville
i an ideal city, being richly endowei
Ith natural advantages that are no
njoyed by any other city in Soutl
arolina. It is 1.040 feet above th?
?a level and the climate is ideal witl
n average temperature of about 51
egrees. The practically limitlesi
rater supply is obtained from natur
1 mountain springs, making f ilterinf
nnecessary and eliminating alto
ether the possibility of contamina
ion.
The city of Greenville has 17 large
otton mills; 22 in the county. It is
he home of presidents of 56 mills
.'he annual pay-roll of its textile
lilis is $14,500,000. Greenville has
wice the number of spindles of any
ther city in the South, with one ex
option.
Five lines of railroads enter Green
ille, with schedules so arranged as
o give 90 passenger trains each day.
The annual pay-roll of the roailroads
s $3,500,000.
Greenville bas thirty-two miles ol
>aved streets and one hundred and
?ixteen miles of concrete sidewalks.
Eleven banks and four flourishing
3uilding and Loan Associations are
loing .their part in the development
>f this metropolis of tKe Piedmont,
;he summer capital of South Caro
ma.
Notwithstanding the season of
jreat financial stress and strain
through which we are passing, Green
ville is now building a modern office
building of sixteen stories, which will
be the "outscrapingest" "skyscraper"
in South Carolina.
Greenville has male and female
colleges that are the equal of any in
the State, and the loyalty with which
the institutions are supported irre
spective of sect or creed, reflects the
true Greenville spirit.
The County's Modern Roads.
By taking a joy ride with Mr.
Peace, the editor of the Greenville
News, in his new seven-passenger
Cadillac one afternoon, we were af
forded a fine opportunity of observ
ing first-hand sixty-odd miles of
Greenville county roads, which are
unsurpassed in the State. Through a
bond issue of one million- dollars
Greenville county has solved once
and for all the road question in that
county. It is no longer a question of
building roads, but merely one of
maintenance. There is not a mile of
public road in Greenville county of
any importance that has not been
graded and top soiled, making of it a
road upon which a' car or a heavily
loaded truck or wagon can travel
satisfactorily any day in the year and
[through all sorts of weather. This
modern system of roads is one of
Greenville's best assets. While the
city's industrial support or backing
is equal to or stronger than that of.
any other city in the State, it has
also a strong agricultural backing
for many miles in every direction. A
spin over Greenville county roads
will cause any man to commit him
self unreservedly to a modern road
building policy for his county. With
scores and hundreds of miles of good
roads leading in to the city from
practically every outlying rural com
munity, like spokes of a wheel con
verging at the hub, or to change the
figure, like so many pipe lines pour
ing the cream and wealth of the soil
into Greenville's coffers, this modern
city can defy deflation and depression
of every sort.
Closing Session.
The closing business session was
taken up with the reports of commit
tees and the election of officers. Mr.
lordan having served as president as
long as the constitution permits, Mr.
S. G. Osteen of Sumter was elected
president;- Mr. Rion McKissick, ed
itor of the Greenville Piedmont, first
/ice-president; Mr. O. K. Williams of
Rock Hill, second vice-president; Mr.
August Kohn of Columbia, treasurer,
Vir. Harold Booker of Columbia, sec
retary.
The members who attended the
L921 session of the South Carolina
Press Association were loath to turn
;heir faces homeward at the close
>f the last session, so pleasant had
>een their stay in Greenville. And
ror these three days of delightful di
rersion they were indebted more to
he newspaper men of Greenville, Mr.
lion McKissick and Mr. George R.
Coester of The Piedmont, and Mr. B.
I. Peace of the News than to any
>ther persons. The universal wish of
he. newspaper folk of South Caro
ma is that Greenville, now easily the
eading convention city of South
karolina, be made the permanent
neeting place of the South Carolina
'ress Association.
Producing Clean Sweet Po
tato Seed.
Clemson College, July 18.-Dis
use takes too large a proportion of
he sweet potato crop, says Dr. C. A. ar(
judwig, associate plant pathologist, tht
?rho declares that this loss is not thi
lecessary since most of the potato an,
liseases are easily controlled by bjr
growing cleai seed (preferably from shj
rine cuttings) ) storing these careful
y, treating ?vith corrosive sublimate
>r formaldelprde before planting and
banting in ?isease-free soil.
Now is tte time to begin planning
'or a clean crop of sweet potatoes
?ext year. This is especially true
vhere then is more or less black rot
>r wilt in this season's crop. These
liseases, as well as others, are trans
mited fron one year to another on
;he seed sock. They are especially
ipt to be xansmitted where growers
follow the'practice of bedding small
potatoes ?id strings from the main
:rop. Fros some points of view the
strings a? better than large pota
toes for bedding. However, strings
and smal potatoes are much more
apt to ciry disease than others. If
strings ad culs are to be bedded
they ougt, by all means, to be se
lected fom healthy, high yielding
hills at igging time. . .
But aitill better way is'to use cut
tings it raising seed. Cuttings
should e taken from the vigorous,
healthyvines and should be cut far
enoughirom the base of the plant to
avoid te possibility of including any
disease tissues from the parent
plant, j
Corjsponding care should be tak
en to pant them in clean soil. It is
best ti put them where sweet pota
toes hye not been grown for several
years/if planted during July they
will nlikely to mature a crop of dis
ease fee potatoes which will not be
too Ige for satisfactiry bedding.
Inlny case the seed stock when
gathjed next fall should be crated
careilly and stored in a place in the
hou? as far as possible from the
mahcrop. Before bedding next
sprij they should be given the cor
rosi] sublimate or formaldehyde
treaient to kill any disease spores
thatnay have lodged on the out
sidand should be bedded in clean
soil

Hog Health in Summer..
Clemson College, July 18.-What
?'^you doing for the comfort of 1
; hogs these hot days? Remember 1
it they should have plenty of shade <
d a cool place to wallow. A com- i
lation of clear, running water, 1
ide and succulent pasture means t
tter health, less feed, and more t
rk, according to the Clemson Col- g
;e swine specialists. If you do not t
re running water, a wallow of con- j
?te or lumber should be provided,
e water in this can be kept clean 11

Beer as a Medicine?
Congress has been getting posted
ately on the medicinal properties of
>eer. It has "seen a light" which has
?ffectively informed the legislative
nind on two points; the first, that
)eer has no.qualifications whatsoever
ts a health-builder, and the second,
hat its manufacture and sale is a
rame so lucrative for the brewer and
he retailer as to have none of the as
sets as a fair business proposition.
Some would even call it a colossal
lumbug.
On June 3, a letter containing the
Allowing information was sent to
Hr. Volstead by a friend of prohibi
ten in New York city:
"Some years ago, a German ehern
st was brought to New York by a
certain brewing company. Said ehern
st was brought to make beer without
na?t or hops. A five-year contract, at
i salary of $10,000 a year was ar
anged. When said chemist had been
wo years here, the brewery com
>any had found out his formula for
he making of beer without malt or
lops, so they discharged him. The
hemist then brought suit in the Su
?reme Court in New York City for
he sum of $30,000, being the bal
nce of the contract. He stated, under
>ath, that the beer was manufactured
it a cost of less than lc per gallon!
Ie also' told how many hundreds of
housands of gallons he had made
luring the two years while he was in
he employ of the company. He made
amples in court of the said beer. He
iron his suit and the brewing com
lany paid him $30,000, and the costs
f the suit. This is the stuff brewers
nd quack doctors want Congress to
egalize. Ninety per cent of the best 1
?hysicians in the United States do
tot prescribe beer as medicine-be
ause it isn't!"
This illuminating statement, our
nformant adds, was forwarded to
lr. Volstead, accompanied by the
equest that he give the facts to -e
udiciary Committee and to Congress
irhich he evidently has done without
ass of time.-Christian Herald. i
