              100TH ANNIVERSARY OF GREENWOOD INDEX-JOURNAL

 Mr. SCOTT of South Carolina. Mr. President, today it is my 
pleasure to honor the Greenwood Index-Journal, a newspaper that is 
celebrating 100 years in the Greenwood, SC, community.
  Founded in February 1919, the Index-Journal started as an office 
above a movie theatre and a printing press on a dirt floor. Although 
much has changed 100 years later, the Index-Journal's commitment to 
keeping the residents of Greenwood informed has not.
  The Greenwood Index-Journal remains owned and operated by local 
residents themselves, with family members of the original co-owners 
still running the paper today. It is truly a paper run by the people, 
for the people. The Index-Journal has remained vigilant in its coverage 
of the Lakelands area, and continues to be a vital part of the 
Greenwood community.
  I congratulate all of the Index-Journal leadership and staff for 100 
years of committed and meaningful journalism and look forward to their 
presence in our State for years to come.
