[News and Courier.] Glenn Springs, July 5.-South Carolina's editors celebrated the "glorious Fourth" with a superb banquet at Glonn Springs. It was a groat event, and the Press Associa tion and the Simpson Brothers have abundant reasons for congratulation and felicitation. The proprietors of the Glenn Springs hotel tendered a reception to all of the editors, and then, to make the affair more home like and sociable, extended the invi tation to all of the hotel's guests. The gathering must have numbered a couple of hundred, but it was as well taken care of and managed as if it was an every-day occurrence. One may possibly think that out here in the quiet of Spartanburg county is is diflicult to give a really first-class banquet, but if there be such a suspicious it is unfounded. Of course it is difficult, but that is all the more to the credit of the Messrs. Simpson. The table was superb ad the service was excellent. That a fine supper was served may be noted from the following: MENU: Broiled Spring Chicken ot Toast. French Peas. Potato Chips. Olives. Sweet Pickles. Sour Pickles. Salted Almonds. Ferris Ham. Smoked Beef Tongue. Chicken Salad. Shrimp Salad. Sliced Tomatoes with Mayonnaise. Claret Punch. French Roll.. Banquet Wafers. Vanilla Ice Cream. Cherry Sherbert. Assorted Cakes. Oranges. Bananas. Deshea Raisins. Edam Cheese. American Cheese. Cofee. Sherry Vine. Champagne. Then, too, the speaking was ex cellent; the talka, were short and pointed, and when the toast card was completed, after one or two calls from Prrnidont Aull, the gathering was dissolved. President Elbert H. Aull, of New berry, acted as toast mastor and said many bright things at the right time. OOL. HOYT ROASTS A ROAST. In announcing the first toast he expressed the regret of the associa tion at the absence of Governor Me. Sw_eney, who had been assigned to respond to the toast, which was as -follows: The State of South Carolina-Al though always alive to the great political questions of the day; all differences are swallowed in the great tide of industrial progress, and her every son stands hand-m- hand with the other in the work uf develop. mont. In the absence of Governor Mc Sweeney, President Anil called upon Col. James A. Hoyt, who had been 'the first president of the Press Asso el cation, and eloquently did Col. Hoyt respond to the call. The sentiment of the toast did not seem to fit his notions and he took it as a text for hammering in some truths about the necessity of sticking to principle and not deserting the past traditions and thoughts of a great people. He said * it was significant that the first toast on such occasions was always to the 1' State. It was a noble and patriotic sentiment, and excellent custom. It is signmficant and he took it as mean ing that the sons and daughters were devoted to their mother State. Thes sentiment was full of politics and that seemed to be another marked peculiarity of the people of South Carolina. It was to him no ticeable that one of the first great questions asked of South Carolimians is "How about politics in South ~'Carolina?" He related his experience with a negro man on theo, border of Utah and how one of his first questions was about polities. There was no ~Ydifference as to the signiflcance of the State's industrial development. He wanted it distinctly understood that the State's great development came from the people of the State. The best mill muon in South Carolina are native-born, and the first money in our mills camno from South Caro lina people, who showed the possible success of cotton mannfacture. The thing that has mado South Carolina most illustrious is that hor people are true to principle and are not after the almighty dollar only. I take this material prosperity as a devolopment incident to steadfast ness to principlo. There are some people who derido the devotion shown the past, and he warned the young men that when a peoplo decry the past there is much trouble ahead, and he bogged the young editors, from the bottom of his heart and the earnestness of a patriot, not to leave the moorings, and principles of the past, but to be satisfied with the principles of their fathers and not to jump about with out N roat provocation. The glorious past must never be forgotten. PRAISING THEIR HOSTS. The next toast was: Mine Host-May Glenn Springs, the queen of summer resorts, continue to reign over the hearts of health and pleasuro-loving people, and may the Messrs Simpson be successful in all the affairs of life as they have been the hoarts of the members of the State Press Association. In the absence of Mr. J. C. Gar lington, President E. I. Aull spoke on the unbounding desire of the Messrs Simpsons to do everything possible for the editors and how that feeling even extended to the porters and waiters. He was unstinted in his praise of the springs and its management. He then called on a brilliant speaker, Col. Walter H. Hunt, of Spratanburg, who respond ed, and said he had spent so many happy days here and been the re cipient of so many courtesies at the hands of the Messrs Simpson that he was glad to respond. There was only one Glenn Springs and it is the greatest place in the world. Glenn Springs wanted the editors back next year and the management of this hotel hope they will make this their permanent home and meet here every year. It would be a meeting of the two best things in the State-the state press and Glenn Springs. Mr. Hunt was exceedingly clover in his brief talk and said some witty things in singing praises of Glenn Springs and the assembled editors. PRESIDENT AULL, ON THE PRESS. Next came "The Pross of South Car olina-May we always be guided by a sense of justice and truth, and that neither passion nor prejudice may creep into our sanctums," which was responded to by (1ol. E. H. Aull, president of the Association. M~r. Aull has developed into a really good after-dinnr speaker. His speech last night was neat, bright and forci ble, and won the plaudits of the assembled guests. Col. Aull said: The power of the press for good or evil has been told in song and story, and its influence upon public affairs, and in the making and unmaking of men, both on the public and private stage of action, has scarcely been overrated. There has been a time when the pages of history were writ in blood and empires rose and fell at the des potic command of a conquering ty rant. All was chaos, and the masses, the so-called common people, who ruled the destinies of no empires, and whose only care was for the safekeeping of their families, knew not where to look for protection. But while the night was at its dark est, and all hope for permanent in stitutions and a settled order of things was lost, a bright star was see'n to rise and shed its biamas upon struggling humanity, and the press, with all its power aud potent influ ence, was ushered into the arena. Its representatives, with faith in themselves, faith in humanity, and faith in their God, and "always guided by a sense of jastico and truth," "unawed by influence and unbribed by gain," stood steadfastly "for th'o people's rights and the pub. lie good." Religious and political persecutions melted away, and lib erty, that brightest dreams of the old philosophers, and freedonm of spnech and of action, were m ado a reality. Today the course of history can no longer be turned into another chan nol by great conquering armies, obe diont to the slightest wish of an am bitious leader, who could trace his ancestry from the days of Adam, but "The moving finger and the pen, together, rule tho world." In our own State the press has al ways stood for justice and truth and has nevor been guidod by passion or prejudice. In the hottest and most fierce political contests we have over had the press of South Caro. Hun has ever stood out boldly for principles they beliovod to be right and just and for the best interests of the people, and has in many cases suffered boycott when projudico among the people hold high carni val rather than become ponny-a-lin ers and sell their birthright and their principlos for a mess of pottago. I wish I had the data and the time to give you an idea of the groat men who have adorned the history of journalism in this State and the sacrifices and struggles they have over made for the public weal. They stand the peers of any representa tives of the press in the world and have over been in the forefront of the battle for human rights and hu man liberty .nd the material ad vanceemet o' the State and the moral uplifting of the people. They are the leaders and the mouldors of public sentiment for the best good of all the people. In patriotic devot ion to their State the newspaper workors of this State have no superiors. They have over been modest in tl-oir do mands, preferring rather to serve than to be served, and in this they are serving the Divine purpose in life. The weekly press of this State has, however, furnished two Gov ernors for this Commonwealth and in every position to which they have been called they have measured to the ful'i stature of the true ma.n and the true woman, for we now recog nize the fact that in the sphere of journalism our sisters are not our inferiors. This Association was organized twenty-six years ago and has done much to advance the profession of journalism in this State. I am glad that we have with us tonight two of the charter members of this Associa tion, and one of them, the first presi dent, and the other also an honored ex-president, in the persons of Col. J. A. Hoyt and Col. T. B. Crows, both of whom are still a3tively en gagea in the profession and have adorned it for half a century.s As an humble member of the press of South Carolina my hope ever is that we may keep the profession to the high standard set by our fathers and ever strive to exemplify the principles of justice and truth, not only in our newspapers, but in our lives. A NEw TOAST, NOT ON THlE LIST. Gen. J. L. Stoppelbem, who had been especially act.ive and successful in his efforts to facilitate the worlk of the Association, wvas down to re spond to the toast, "Woman," but was not well enough to respond, and President Aull conceived the bright idea of having Mrs. Virginia D. Young respond to the toast, "Man.'' Mrs. Young was caught entirely un awares, but made decidedly one of the best and certainly the snappiest of all of the talks. She said she had travelled in this country and in Europe to a considerable extent, but in all of her travels, she had met nc nan quite so good as those in bei native State-South Carolina. They differed fre a other men, ossentially in their courtesy and kindness t< their mothers, sisters and wives, oi in a word to women. They, of al: muon, recognized that it takes tw< halves to make the perfect whole and that was what gave her hope 01 the'future appreciation of woman'i equal rights. It was short, bui clever, this hit of Mrs. Young for the equal rights of her sex. NORlMENT oETs H115 INNING. Mr. J. Ed. Nomen't, the gallant o the Association, said he must insis upon keeping up the tradition of th Association, the esprit de corps, 5 to "Woman"a-- \iny she continu her reign as Queen of IHoarls and iny we contitinuo to sorvo her as most, loyal sulbjocts.' It was one of those thoughtful things that 'Mr. Normen:t is always doing and which makes hiin so very popular with the Imontlbers. .-ENATron M'LAU((IN. President Aull said there was on distiguished guest presolt whom he Would h1k to presint anlie ho callod upon Senator John L. DleLaurin. Senator lcLaurin said he would not at that, lato hour undertake to make a regular speech. H1e, how over, caught the spirit from Mrs. Young, and wanted to say in reply that lie also had been to Yollowstono Park and travelled extensivoly, but all his travels had provon to him that there wero no women just ats sweet, just as charming and just as good as those of his native Stato. As to the equality of the soxos ho certainly thought the wives and sweethearts managed things in their own way and without friction. Talking about newspaper men and their worth, he wished to say tha some of his best friends were news paper men, and his c,xp erience with them convinced him that they woro of the best of men. To ho a good newspaper man required that the man must be a gent, emani, and then he paid tribute to the brightness and honesty of representative newsipaper men, and insisted that there were men in the press gallery at Va4hing ton who woro the peors of the men on the Senate floor. Senator Me Laurin spoke brielly, but mido a decided hit. President Aull then dismissed the audience. During the coirse of the evening the splendid orchestra now at the springs played delightful music. A. K. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
