impossible and newspapers of lan

count of this salient. ?incc lt has been

SHERIFFS MEET
IN GREENVILLE
FOR THREE DAYS
Session of State Association to
Be Convened There
Today.
Greenville. July 19.-The annual
summer meeting of tlie South Carolina
Sheriffs' association will bo opened in
Greenville tomorrow and tho conven
tion will last through Thursday. About
7? or 100 officers, including a number
of chiefs ol police, are expected to at
tend this gathering. The vau of tho
delegates will arrivo tonight, though a
majority of them will not get in until
tomorrow afternoon. '
Indications ur,, thnt t'iio sheriffs will
have a very enjoya hie ano successful
meeting this year. It will bo the
first gathering to which chiefs of po
lice have been invited, and this fea
ture 1B calculated to increase the at
tendance considerably. Nearly every
sheriff has expressed his intention
end desire to be present.
The ?ummer meeting of tho sheriffs
is moro of a pleasurable outing than
a business session, and as a rule most
of the business is usually carried over
until the January session. Only mat
ters that need immediate attention
are taken up.
The meeting will be called to order
and presided over by Sheriff McCain,
of Richland county, president of the
association. Ile will preside over all
sessions. Sheriff Rector of Greenville
.. is secretary and treasurer and will
officiate In that capacity. .
It ls generally understood that the
sheriffs on this occasion will consider
resolutions about tra? service of civil
papers. It ls reported that resolu
tions will be offered to the effect that
fees shall be paid in advance before
th*e papers are served, which would
thereby guarantee the peace guard
ians against possible losses. Sheriff
Rector and others have complained
about the difficulty In collecting fees
for the services of papers. The Green
ville sheriff staved that ho has et least
$5,000 outstanding in old fees which
he has not been able to collect.
Sheriff Rector baa worked untiring
ly to make tho convention in Green
ville a'big success, and to this end
ho has arranged a very attractive
program. Tho chief event of the
three days meeting promises to be
the old fashioned barbecue to be ser
ved at Dukeland Park Wednesday
afternoon. ' After the 'cue speakers
will be heard. Governor Richard I.
Manning and Congressman Byrnes, of
South Carolina, has already accept
ed. Congressman Lever was invited
but he responded indefinitely on ac
count of conflicting engagements. The
barbecue will be served at Dukeland
park In tho shade of the trees. Choice
meats will be 'cued for a menu that
will please tao most fastidious palate.
An old fashioned square danco will
be givon at the pavlllion Wednesday
night complimentary to the visiting
officers. Other amusements will also.
