The time was fixed at October 31. k The Executive Committee at ,a recent meetE lug changed the date to October in. R "It was the purpose to go via the Seaboard 1 Air LiDe ami to assemble at Ureeuwood. Afr ter considering the matter it has been decided I that It would be best to assemble In Atlanta, as it may suit somi of the members better to W ko straight thro tig b;,t,l> an to stop over. It Is desired that all the members go on the lfrtb ol p October, and that tbone who go over the S. A. [ L. make it convenient1,to take the day train. This train leaves Columbia at 11.15 a. m. "Passes over th6 HOUthern and Seaboard f will be honored on. any truin over these k routes. . "The officers have been in correspondence with the railroads, and the following are the conditionsoQ which 'transportation can be secured by the Association': "1.

Langston, Secretary, Anderson, S. C." 1 WHY NOT GIVE US THE CORRESPONDENCE? t In issuing this elaborate circular, instead of j nubiishine the correspondence, the officers j I are only following precedent, but we think a the precedent 1b a bad one. and one that should not be followed. s Id former years the circulars were much In i the same style, while the correspondence be- [ tween the committee on the part of the Press (, Association, and the officials of the railroads, c was so closely guarded that even the Presl- c dent of the Press Association did not see the r letters or a copy of tbem. When the Press Association went to ChlcaRO, the circular r from the excursion committee had stlpula- v tions about the "wife or daughter or sister," <. and we presume the same utterance about \ membership was also made, but no oorres- v Dondence was ever made known to the breth- ? ren, as far as we now recollect. Our own con- j vlotions now are that the railroad authorities s placed no such restrictions either as to mem- ? bershlp of the Association or as to wife or i daughter, which has lately been amended to H "wife or dependent daughter." 1 IS THY SERVANT A DOli ? ? Among other things the circular says: l "The officers have been in correspondence ' -with the railroads, and the following are the , conditions on which transportation can be J. secured by the Association : "I. The editor must be a member of the As- . ftsoclatlon. ' "II. He must agree to run an advertise inent for the railroads o?er which be desires ' transportation and give a write-up of bis trio. , "III. Each member will be given transpor- , tation for one female member of his family? either wife or dependent daughter." . t * WHO inn THIS? 1 Now, who imposed these extraordinary and unreasonable conditions? Let us see the cor respondence, so that the members may judge for themselves. We want to see who put the "dependent daugnter" in n, auu we warn u> see who requires such an inexhaustible amount of work for a ticket to Atlanta. I NO TICKET ON HUMILIATING TERMS. Speaking for the Press and Banuer we do not expect to ask lor or to accept a ticket on iff the terms named. In the circular, it will be noticed that much is said about what is "desirec" and what "we J? would like." ? We submit that such expressions are out ol 0 order. According to our way of thinking It e is the duty of the officers to give a full and fair report of their actings and doings in the " discharge of the duties which were Imposed " upon them by the Press Association. il Let these otlicers put the members In pos- s' session of the facts. They are not children Cl that they must be governed by anybody's ex- d planatlon, neither are they so old that they n do not know whether or not they want to go to the Exposition. But presumably they are men, clothed In their right mind, aud entitled to the facts. Then they will be able to I judge lor themselves. K( THE QUESTION OF WIFE OK DAUGHTER. J Long ago the churches were greatly exer- d - " "J ?1 mlfo'c clctor ? It V u- ' clsea aoout mu "uviwcu ??j*w r? seems that the South Carolina Press Associa- tl tion has undertaken to solve the questlou of tl wives and daughters. The requirements are exactly the same of all the brethren. Can any man outside the lunatic asylum tell us why the editors who have wives and daughters are to be shown such exclusive n favors'? Why the partiality t Does the Pres- ni identof the State Press Association assume k to bind this paper and others similarly situated to do as much work for a single ticket as he requires the married brethren to do for n two tickets. AN OFFENSIVE TERM. ^ f \ ' * Aside from the special privileges which are ri guaranteed to men with wives and daughters, tl the President of the Press Association as- pi sumestouse the word "dependent" in refer- li< ence to the daughters. This, In our opluion, u is an offensive word when used in this con- u, nectlon. th TAKING CAKE OK THE INNOCENTS. But whatever adverse criticism may be In- g? dulged as to^other matters, the proposition of at the I'resiaeui to mno w,c w lllE rwlll more than counterbalance all else. It must be extremely gratifying to the lamtiles of the editors who stay at home, to ?/ know that the President wll I take charge of 1 their loved ones at Columbia and see them i safely in Atlanta. The fact that an advance In agent has gone before to make special ar- & rangements to march them to a hotel imme- 1 diately on their arrival is most assuring and ( ? ? famishes the best evidence ol their anxiety ?i. for the safety of the brethren while in At- ?!! laDta. |A.

His appeal having ieen dismissed, he now has only to wuit for be sentence of death to be passed upon him, nd tbe day named for his execution. He vas convicted of murder on circumstantial vidence. He had friends in Georgia who tut up tbe money to secure an appeal to the Supreme Court, but the effort failed. The leed of which he was convicted was a most itrocious one. He and his victim loved tbe ame woman. The woman preferred to mary his rival. The next night while tbe bride vas sitting on the knee of her busband Walter Derrick shot the husband to deatb, vounding tbe wife at the same time. Tbe bot was made through the open door of beir cabin. No one actually saw tbe fatal hot, but tbe circumstances pointed unmisakably to Derrick Walker, and tbe Jury convicted blm. He will likely pay the penalty vith bis own life. WATER WORKS. Practical Plans proposed Tor Fight* lnir Fire and Quenching Thirst. idltor Press and Banner: There has been some talk since the fire in his town of water works. I have been const lering the practicability of water and electric igbt6 tor this town, for the past tbree years. : have always claimed that water works was i necessity. Money lost by the last fire, would have ecured to thts town water works that would iave made such a conflagration impossible, 'ire protection is not the only great benefit 0 be derived from water works, if the supply if water is drawn from a pure source it is tound to and health and comfort to any comnunity. The conclusion to which I have ar* 1 ved at as being most practical is nn artesian veil drill through one of the high hills most onvenient to the public square, say Mr. A. V. Smith's or Mr. Frank Henry's place, a veil and reservoir on the latter place would ie above all buildings from the Academy lown. With proper size main pipe from re ervolr lhe hydrants on the public square yould have 65 pounds pressure to the square nch which would throw a column of water bove any house from Klugb street down, 'hat would be water works without an extensive pumping statiou, but a staud pipe tumps on said bill would add considerable to he system, but hardly necessary Just now. 'his plan can be executed at less cost than ny other and we would have water superior othat which flows through branches. If the Justness League wish to accomplish soineblng that will be of great benefit to this own. tills is a subject that ought to comnand their attention. It strikes me it is the Irst thiug to be done. Water works are a ronUnw. ntui nrntpp.t.inn trtnll nlnsMAR if enterprises, und some times they pass on o towns where those advantages can be bad. It will afford me pleasure at any time to ay my plans before any one that may be Inerested. Very respectfully, W. P. Ferguson. THE EXPRESS AGENCY. tcporteil Resignation ?

Reports are current that the present ex press gent will resign, unless he is relieved of Sunay work, and petitions are being circulated ir the appointment of a successor. We have een shown one petition, and learn thatoth-| r applicants are In the field. The Press and Banner saw Mr. C. P. Hamaond on the subject, and he said he thought He petitions were premature, as he had no lea of resigning if the company appointed ameone to meet the different trains and reeive the freight, and be added that he didn't eslre to talk for publication.
