TRIP TO UP-CoUNTRY.

Having been sick for about eight
morths anu recovering sufficiently
for much needed outing, Thursday
of last week we left here going via OF
Columbia to Spartanburg where we
met up with that genial gentleman,
Mr.. Hester, proprietor of the Argyle
Hotel, who is a great host. After a
sumptuous tea we repaired to the
lobby to chat about the famous
and growing city of Spartanburg,
which has grown wonderfully in its
manufacturing and business enter
prises during the past few years. To-
day it is oae of the most popular and
thrifty cities of the up-country. Our
stay in the Spartan City was so brief
that we cannot give our readers even
bird's-eye view of its many embel-
lishments, as we left on the early
morning train for Greenyille.
At Greenville we were met and en-
tertained beyond expression by our
friend, Mr.. John Brandon, who is
wholesoul fellow, and his kindness
and hospitality was unbounded, We
were conveyed by auto over various
districts Of this thriving business and
manufacturing city, which is one of
the best in the State, which the ex-
hibits at the s'big horse show" few
weeks ago evidenced. We would not
attempt to give her growth In manu-
featuring and business enterprises
since our last visit twelve years ago.
Her elegant and large stores are
iayishly filed with everything in the
mercantile line.
3 Greenville has always been known
as an educational centre and has an
urbane and highly cultured citizen
ship. The business men are kind and
courteous and ardaous in business
pursuits. 1t is indeed busy city.
In the residential districts we found
palatial and commodious residences
situated on beautiful streets, which
are sanitary and up to-date In every
phase Of progressive city.
Sunday we motored out to Pied
mont little city by the Saluda twelve
miles below Greenville. This is quitea
noteworthy little town with popula-
ton of about three thousand. Espe-
ciany did we note the fine crops be-
tween Greenville and Piedmont on
our return to Greenville. Corn and
cotton crops are looking fine. The
foliage of the verdure fields and the
gentle summer breezes soothingiy
greeted the passerby. We could al
most see the lightning bugs and hear
the "Sweet Whippoorwlll Song"
We could not leave Greenville with
out shaking the hand of our venerable
friend Col. Geo. R. Koester, publisher
of the Greenville Evening Piedmont.
His familiar laugh is the juvenescence
for an old man, at any rate, is good
i, for one with indigestion. A man of
his characteristics and temperament
could not do otherwise than give
Greenville her deserts in journalism.
sUncle JOSH wishes him continued
success.
Monday evening in the moonlight
we had a most delightful auto ride
ont to the Southern Power plant on
the Saluda river which furnishes
"juice' for the city of Greenville. To
say we enjoyed our visit is expressing
it mildly We were glad to get there

JUDGMENT NEEDED
In PRINTING NEWS,

w. w. Wadsworth, managing
editor of the Anaconda (Mont, }
Standard, recently delivered an
address before the Butte News
writer's association, in which he
took position somewhat diff
ferent from the usual position of
editorial speakers. In the course
of his address he said:
The news end of a newspaper
is the most important of all and
the most vital to a newspapers
success. If the news department
is sustained strongly enough the
character of the editorial page
will not be so much noticed. To
be successful in these days
newspaper must be f1na nciallv
successful, it must be success as
business venture, and to bring
this about the business and edi-
torial departments should be in
accord. u
1t is hard to bring people to
understand that a newspaper is
not a philanthropy. Any man
or cause or organization or church
or charity, whatever its worth,
which expects a boost in the
newspapers for its financial adj
vantage. ought to be willing to
pay for the help which it seeks,
and if not willing should be re-
quired to pay anyway. The
world is full of worthy causes,
but they do not help pay the
salaries or to bring the paper out
on the right side of the ledger at
the months end.
HARMONY AT BOTH ENDS.
Every newspaper man employ
ed on the news end of news
paper should work in complete
harmony with the business end
and that all newspapers and
newspaper men should have a
clear understanding that they
are not in the business for fun
and are not engaged in the prac-
tice of giving away valuable adj
yertising space for nothing. Like
every other business enterprise a
newspaper is run primarily for
profit. No paper can expect a
very long existence unless it has
a healthy business end and can
manage to make both ends meet,
Of course, newspapers do lots of
good in the way of philanthropy,
directly and indirectly, but they
are run primarily not for the pur-
pose of doing good in the world
but to pay expenses and permit
the owners some day to realize
the dream of dividends.
The most important depart.
ment of a newspaper is the news
department, and the most re.
sponsible and important position
on the newspaper staff is the
position of reporter. The
highest duty which a newspaper
man can have is his duty as a
news gatherer and news handler.
i There is no more honora BILE posi-.
tion, there is no more responsible
position. A successful gatherel
of news must have certain quali
lfications. It is essential that b.
