News and Courier: Newspaperdom
printed an excellent picture of Cover
nor McSweeney in its number of No
.vember 8, with a complimentary foot
note felicitating the "Old South State"
upon having "a country printer and
newspaper man as it's chief executive"
for another term. The administration
of Governor McSweeney has given
great many persons in this state far
better opinion Of the ability Of those
who are engaged in the newspaper bus
mess. It Is hoped that there will never
be many newspaper candidates for Of
flee in this state, not because they are
incompetent or untrustworthy, but be-
cause there is so much more fun in
electing other men to office.
Christian Neighbor: The announce
ment is made that the Rev. Samuel A.
Weber, D. d.. is to retire from the po-
sition Of associate editor Of the South
ern Christian Advocate. His with
drawal from regular literary work In
the religious field Is truly regretable,
for he has written much and strongly
for the upbuilding and upholding of
Methodism and also to the edihcation
Of mankind in general. Few men have
such clear and pure vision and so sweet
a spirit as this erudite Christian gen.
tleman. The Neighbor feels a special
fondness for DR.. Weber, for many Of
his helpful and entertaining articles
have graced it's pages. Indeed, 1t was
in this paper-way back in '77-that his
So excellent letters From a Young
Preacher to a Younger One" saw light
and carried light as they emanated
from the "Village Parsonage Those
same letters ought to be gathered In
book form and spread broadcast among
young itinerants. And not few older
ones would find profit in perusal. No
more helpful contribution to Metho-
dist literature has appeared in the last
quarter-century. May the pen Of their
author neither rust nor dry-it's too
useful.
