Newsboy Statue
Very cool statue, history, and very interesting little town. Maps will try to take you through the little side street between the Tribune and the Atlantic corporation. That road is closed to public traffic.

A statue of a newsboy selling newspapers caught our attention. It was outside the Tabor-Loris Tribune office and the Horace Carter Museum. Although the office and museum were closed when we stopped, we discovered the statue is in honor of Horace Carter, who owned the newspaper, stood up to the Ku Klux Klan, and won a 1952 Pulitzer Prize for his editorials against the Klan.
We left a quarter for the newsboy. If it's not still there, you might want to add your own quarter between the newspapers and the boy's thumb.
