MONTE DEDMAN RESIGNS
FROM LOCAL PAPERS
Monte Dedman has resigned, ef
fective February 1st from the staff
of the Tryon Daily Bulletin and
The Polk County News after many
years’ service with the Polk Coun
ty News and 17 years with The
Bulletin.
In addition to
being foreman of
both newspapers^
Mr. Dedman has
served for a num
ber of years as
correspondent for
Charlotte, Ashe
ville and Spar
tanburg news
papers and as a
special feature
writer for various
publications, and
for a number of years conduct
ed a column in The Polk County
News entitled “As I See It”, in
which he reported his observations
on various topics and his philoso
phy of life.
For the past three years he has
been serving as a magistrate for
Tryon Township and this business
' has grown so that he found it al
most impossible to serve both in
stitutions to his satisfaction. He
felt that he had to give up one
of them. The praise he has re
ceived from county officials and
law enforcement officers for the
efficiency with which he operated
his office, prompted him to cast his
lot in that direction. Last year
he turned over to the county treas
urer more funds in fines and for
feitures, which it is said, is the best
record of any magistrate in the
history of the county.
Since Mr. Dedman will remain
in Tryon to carry cn his magistrate
duties, writing and other special
activities, he has assured the man
agement of both papers that he
will be on hand to give any help
in emergencies if needed.
Seth M. Vining, publisher of the
papers, expressed his appreciation
of Mr. Dedman’s service over the
years and of his spirit of cooper
ation in the future, because it
will be needed.
