It was our privilege to attend the meeting of the South Caro lina Press Association at White Stone Springs last week. This was the most largely attended meeting in the history of the t association, and the sessions were most pleasant throughout. t White Stone Springs is an, ideal place for such a gathering.S The property there has been greatly improved and put in first class condition. The manage- 1 inent is sparing no pains to make it second to no sum-uer resort. 'he members of the Association and their friends were most pleas antly entertained and they showed their appreciation of it by voting to go back another year. Two of the most interesting numbers on the program were the papers by Mrs. Young and Col. Bacon. Their pleasing references to each other were very much enjoyed by the members. A great pleasure to the members of the Association was the visit t of Dr. Carlisle, who is spending t a few days at this popular resort. His words of wisdom were greatly appreciated by all. There is no man in South Carolina more be loved and more justly so than this venerable educator. The banquet was a very de lightful occasion. The speakers were Hon. M. L. Smith, Hon. Jno. T. Sloan, and Hon. M. F. Ansel and Dr. Carlisle. The first three are all candidates for gubernatorial honors next year, and for this arrangement there was some criticism and justly so, I for while there was no politics I in what was said, it makes things smack of politices to have so1 may politicans on the program. 1 Wonder if there will be so many of the candidates for the same1 office at the next meeting. There is a growing sentiment that there should be no wines, etc., served at the banquet, which is the social event of these annual gatherings. A canvass of the: membership on this point by 2 those who have these arrange-i ments in charge would disclose1 the fact that a majority of the< members would prefer to have the banquet without any of these 1 extras. It would be a forward step in the cause of temperance for the representatives of the press to have their chief soci2 function without this drink feta ure. Quite a large proportion .of the members of the Associa-i tion would be glad to see this reform instituted at the next banquet. The last day of the Association there were about thirty young I men at White Stone standing the examination for license to prac tice dentistry in South Carolina. 1 The dentists are certainly protect ing themselves against the ad mission of raw recruits into their t ranks. Good for them. The fine farming lands between White Stone and White Stone Springs, two miles distant and ~ reached by a trolley line, are a' fine object lesson to the farmers of South Caroline. These lands were once considered very poor, but they are hard to beat now. The crops there are the finest we I saw on our trip. A Deserved Tribute. In a tribute on South Carolina Literature, read before the South Carolina Press Association at its meeting last week by Mrs. Vir ginia D. Young, editor of the Fairfax Enterprise, the following .a deserved tribute was paid to one of Fairfield's noblest women: "Mrs. Catherine Stratton Ladd, president Soldiers' Aid associa tion, was, so Capt. DesPortes of \ Columbia told me, the 'equal ty mentally of any man he had ever known.' In Winnsboro, wherea she lived, nothing went on with:- 4 ir out her aid. Outside the splendid jfie school she kept she was the gay I companion of her sholar~e, inside ip her powerful will and habit of h concantration controlled all. J "She originated the Confederate t flag, and saved the jewels of the u Masonic lodge, the latter at the r sacrifice of her own literary ireas- b< ures-works the world is poorerm for not having to-day. What a u istake! No jewel ever dug or Li olished is equal in value to a si, TROUBLE AT WALLACEVILLE r, John Glenn Shoots Mr. Andrew Wallace--Both Parties flake State ments. i. Thc 'Sac I:Jaf~y 1..) Mr. Andrew Wallace, whose ome is near Hyatt Park, was rought to the city yesterday on Ae train from Greenville with a ullet wound in the hip as the re uit of the gun fight with young ohn V. Glenn at Wallaceville arlier in the day. The wound is )rtunately only a flesh wound ud is not considered dangerous. Glenn, who is only 19 years of ge, is the postmaster at Wal. xceville. Yesterday a little after 2 o'clock Mr. Wallace walked in o the postoffice under the influ nee of whiskey and reneved an Id quarrel with Glenn. He drew is pistol and cursed Glenn and old him he was a coward and !ould not fight. Glenn then old him that if he would put own his pistol and come out ide lie would fight him, but Mr. Vallace refused to put up his v-apon and reiterated what hE tad said. Glenn told him that iJ e would wait until he could gel cgun he would shoot it out and eft the building, walked aboui alf a mile away and secured epeating Winchester rifle. H( eturned and found Wallace wait ng for him. Glenn advanced tc vithiu 50 yards of Wallace anc alled out to him to shoot. Boti uen opened fire with cool an lelibe-ate aim between each twc hots. The rain was poring dowi n torrents while they were fight ng. Glenn was standing bare eaded on the open ground allace was OL the railroad trac] rotected by the corner of a cot on platform1. Each man had fired wo shots when bystanders reach. d their sides and stopped the hooting. Glenn's second shoi truck Wallace in the front o: iis hip on the left side and cam( )ut about the top of his back trou. ier pocket. Mr. Wallace was taken to hi. iome soon after his arrival. Since the appearance of the Lbove commV.nication, b o t I esers. Wallace and Glenn hay mublished statements in regart ;o their difficulties. MR. wALLACS's STATEMENT. Friends of Mr. Wallace giv iis version of the affair as fol ows: "Mr. Wallace states that h rent to Wallaceville to examin he books of the postoffice by in ~tructions from the postoffice de >artment, being bondsman of hi on, J. E. Wallace, who hisid th ~ommission as postmaster at tha lace. Mr. Wallace gave up th lace as postmaster last fall ani eft the office in charge of Mr . C. McMeekin, assistant. Late dr. Glenn was appointed post aster, but the fact that he wa oo young to hold the office wa rought to the attention of th lepartment by Mr. Andrew Wal ace and the office remained it ;he hands of the younger Wallace "W ben he went to Wallaceville Cuesday Mr. Wallace states tha e askedl to see the books of the >ostoffice to make out the re. uired quarterly report. Mc Veekin replied that he had noth g to do with it, and Glenn re narked: Shtow him nothing Words passed and both Wallace Lnd Glenn offered to fight. Wal ace asked Glenn if he was armec mnd Glenn replied that he was iot. Wallace said that that was o end of it. "McMeekin and Glenn closei he place and went off. Wallac4 ~tates that he went to the depoi tnd hoisted the signal for the rain to stop there, intending t< eturn to Columbia. He heard hot and heard a bullet hit the ail. He didni't know whence the ulet camue andJ~ as he turnied t< ace ilco i, th yug muau fired ace in the~ lea ip. lHe fril and chilie b ig duevi li cd w . hie "'Mr. Mu:lwieh'n - ami o L un mnd asked1 himi if hi (did I h. iflien e 1l t') him 'I at~n Lolzig t< ill you.' Wallace sta'.ed Iha iit *ras rai ing hard an id he~ cou1ld tear o0 sound aLt all and le hought the ~incidenit wais closed theni they closed the store and rent lf. "Mr. WXallace says that he and leun were at least 150 yards part and he haid no chance withj pistol when Glenn had a rifle.' MI. ULENN S STATIEMENT As Mr. Wallace has made a atement about our difliculty at allaceville, will you allowv me >do the same? When Mr. ~all c got off the train he came irect to the postofhice, and meet g Mr. McMeekin oatside asked r the postoflice books. -Mr. [eMeekin told him I was the oistmaster and that lie would ve to go 'o me. I invited Mr. Jallace into the office and said him that lie was at liberty to e the books to make out his port but I would not turn thel >lis over to him; as he de-| add. He began to curse. ug very abusive language, with s pistol drawn. I went out le and said to him I was un-! I went or it and got back as soon as I could and notified him when I . rrived. I fired two shots and he two. My second shot took effe t. We were about 50 yards a art. He did not ask mo if I w s armed, he know I was not, and he knew the difficulty was not t an end. He states that both f us left the office. Mr. McM ekin di6. not leave the office. I \was appointed post master for Wallaceville and hold my commission Mr. McMeekin has never been appointed as sistant fo Mr. Joe Wallace. Strange M . Wallace forgot to mention dra ing his piF'ol on an unarmed m n. He must have thought tha woulI not be in his favor. The Diiamond Cure.

Preserve Gra e Juice. (National Fruit- Grower.) Will you please ublish again the directions for ottling grape juice, without boil ng? These directions were pub.. bed by you two years ago and e process is superior to the old ay of cook n. ing grapes and then draining ofi the juice. I have us the recipe and it is lost, and w 11 be under great obligations to you if you will zeprint it. Yours very truly, Juli Miller. The recipe in questipn was in corporated in Bulletin No. 24 U. S. Department of Airiculture, and we reprint the portign giving the process for PREsERvING UNFERMENTE GRAPI JUICE. Use only clean, souni, well. Iripened grapes. If an ordinary cider mill is at hand, it aay be used for crushing and pessing, or the grapes may be crus d and Spressed with the hands. IF a Slight colored juice is desir d, put the crushed grapes in a ceanly washed cloth flour eack a d tie Sup securely and twist it, ~r lel two persons take hold, ox e on each end of the sack, and wist, when the greater part of the uice will be expressed. Then 'rad ually heat the juice in a do ble boiler or a large stone jar in a pan of hot water at a temp ra ture of 180 degrees to 200 de grees F. It's best to use h Sthermometer, but if there is nqne -at hand beat the juice tilli~ it steams, but do not allow it itc boil; put it in a glass or enameled vessel to settle for 24 hours; carb fully drain the juice from the sediment, and run it through several thicknesses of clean flan: Snel, if no other filter is available, After this fill into clean bottlesj Do not fill entirely, but leave room for the liquid to expand when again heated. Fit a thin board over the bottom of an or dinary wash boiler, set the filled bottles (ordinary glass fruit jars are just as good)in it, fill with water around the bottles to about an inch from the top of them, and grndually heat until it is about to simmer. Then take the bottles out iand cork or seal immediately. Lt is a good idea to take the fur ther precaution of sealing the -orks over with sealing wax, to pr event mouldgerms from enter oug through the cork. Should it >e desired to make a red juice, aeat the crushed grapes to not Whove 200 degrees F., strain brou~gh a clean cloth, set away to cool and settle, and proceed the same as with light colored juice. Many people do not even go to the trouble of letting the juice settle after straining it, but reheat and seal it up immediatb ly, simply setting the vessels away in a cool place in an upright posi tion, where they will be undis turbed and the juices allowed to settle, and when for use the clear juice is simply taken off the sedi ment. Any person familiar with the process of canning fruit can also preserve grape juice, for the pinciples involved are identical. Disease takes no summer vacation.

C. C. I., has lost ow )f its most devoted meUbers, and the college is deprived o one of its staunchest friends. The amia d1e qualities of Cadet Banks were realized and appre ciated by hi - fellow students and associates and upon them he left the ma k of his character and indivi uality. And while his gen tle sI irit las winged its way to the lnd of perpetnal sun shine, the 1riter does not be lieve this q iet afternoon, as he traces these lines in memory ol his comrade. that his work is finished. But like Tewnyson's "Brook" it sl all go on forever. It is hard t realize that his form has f rever disappeared from the roo of the Y. M. C. A., and from there we shall hear no longer his privers ascending to the throne of 'he eternal God. We extend the grief stricker family our sine re sympathy and trust that the same breast that sheltered J-ohn at the Last Sup per, will be th ir haven of resi in this sad hour.

For Better Roads, Mr. Editor: Will you let up fo a little while on sorghum an< turnips, and help us a little oi the road question?
