[ i', ' The Prens AwwociHtlon. P The mate Press Association held Its annual ^ meeting In Charleston at the Isle of Palms. A large number of newspaper men were In b attendance, and tbe meeting waB one of tbe 11 best ever held. Tbe place 16 an ideal one for 6 a meeting of any bind, as those who have c ? o jjfcf been mere win agree. iuo vuvnui uicw. that come from tbe deep, the ceaseless mur- 8 murines of tbe ocean, tbe smell of the salt( 8 tbe passing ships and the sight of tbe endless u blue comes to tbe landlubber as a most agree- d ble change. To tbe mountains with those who are pleased to go! Tbe seashore tor n mine, to the edge of the boundless, where tbe r ??v. blue meets the blue, to the sun and wave Q kissed shores of the sea. What a highway we 11 ' have here! To what unknown lands do Its n Br.,ij paths not lead I How close we are to tbe great big world when we stand on tbe shores bi of the ocean! Every thing Is full of Interest o! f- frojn the one-armed fiddler crab of the sands j to tbe great ships that climb the horizon and o k \ sink Into the sea. n | What a field for the Imagination ! What o ' - I U/k.tnoQMonH h eoeiaciets ior uulujo iuicio. ua. quietude for the weary mind ! Every wave tl that chases Itself up the sanay beach brings o K-" something to Interest the curious. n Snob Is the Isle of Palms with Its cool and n [' roomy hotel and faultless pavilion. l>oyou K want rent ? Go there! you can get It. ai The people of Charleston are benlnd the a times. Charleston Is not as most of her sis- tl i* ter cities are, plunging wildly for the u alcilgbty dollar at the expense of their life's h 5g". blood. Charleston ha* not lost her civic pride lq a mad groveling for money; she S r 'stands to-day psabably the most hospitable e city of the South ! Here I Hft my bat to her ti f and make her my profoundest bow. "I was w a stranger and ye took me In." Yes, Indeed, w In thlf respectCbarleston Is behind the times, d As liar as business interests are concerned the Old City by the Sea is wide-awake. Able b ' and energetic men are at the helm and to-day e she has the best outlook of any city In South Sr. Q Carolina. a $ The report to the Navy Department showed tl '-Uf that the entire navy of the United States g ' ooald be placed In Charleston harbor. The b result of this investigation meanv much for 1 the welfare of the city. The strrng probabll? '" lty of a Panamanian oanal in a few years, v p and the fact that Charleston is nearer the t c|?:: oanal by 100 miles than any Gulf port, lndl| oates that there is a future in store for the old b city tbst we nan not areamea 01. i We have beard much of what Charleston o t need*. One of these things is a direct line of t boats between Charleston and Europe. It a yon wish to go to England yon must go a t thousand miles away to catch a boat. Is that I -, good bnslne8s lorus who have one of the best t ' . porta In the United States? No. It Is a fact, f thongb, that you can't get to the Bermuda Islands. Just a few hundred miles east of s jf Charleston, without going by New York to get there. s ; What Is the remedy? We might borrow r the transports Sheridan, and the Shermab, s and the Logan and the Thomas, aud put 'V them on these lines that don't pay. England t J;',. lent three of her transports to the Canadian & ;,x Pacific Railway: the Empreu of Japan, the f Empress of China and the Empress of India, c without which the Canadian Pacific Railroad wonld have amounted to nothing in west l J Canada. In this way tbe Southern or the | ter which we think is of great Importance to p the city. A good school brings much money p to the basin ess of a city, and the presence of p teachers Is a benediction to the moral welfare g of any community. It Is pleasant, too. to C have among us so many most ex-cellent JE young men who come from otbqr cities to re- c !>/ ceive training at this Institution. o The school Is also of incalculable value to li those of the olty wbo have boys and girls to p educate. If you will calculate for a moment p the pecuniary benefit you will derive from this school you will feel like you ougbt to b ? have doubled your subscription. v We have secured the school, but we are not throngb. Let us get to work on something a else Immediately and go at it wltb a vim and < yeet that will count tor us another victory. c (Be 5 '* ' /* I seaboard or tne uoasi i^ine migoi Dorrow our I transports during peace and make tbem serI viceabie instead of permitting them to rot at their piers. What a great thing it would be /or Caro[ Una 11 we could see advertised in the News and Courier and the Post "Exouralon to Liverpool," or "Excursion to London!" New York oould not borrow our ships because she has lines to all points of the world already, jr but Charleston oould. We could call It by some other name than ship subsidy. We might call It ship award, or ship bestowal, or v chip oocoesslon, or ship endowment, or anything bat the horrible, exoruclatlng, nervef' grating Caliban and Harridan of phrases, to the Democratic ear, viz: ship subsidy. Let's get a name of our own and borrow the ships. It waB a great pleasure to meet the men of - the South Carolina Press. For amenity and amiability and good bard sense tbe South ? Carolina Press Is second to no aggregation o 1 ggy tmen In the State. President Anil Is due much praise for his {, antlrlng work in the interest of the meeting - He was again elected President ol tbe Assov elation, and a better president would be bard to find. Mr. C. C. Langs ton, on account of ill health resigned aa Secretary of tbe Association. Mr. Langston's long and faithful service, and kindliness of heart has endeared him to the Association with ties that are bard to sever. fc'- It mlgbt be said of him as of Abou Ben Adl&\ bem, "his name led all the rest." r*'<rS We owe a debt of gratitude to tbe newspa'' ' per men of Charleston wblcb we must mention If we cannot repay. Tbe brethren of the Post and News and Courier did their best for the entertainment of the visitors and to tbem is due the "well done." Mr. Calvin Hemphill was especially active in the interests of the j?>:; Association. Again we lift our hats and make a profound bow to the City by the Sea. May she never grow less! The Monument. Tbe contractors will break dirt for tbe mon *?ument this week. Tbe cherished hopes of 1 good women of Abbeville will soon be real- t lzed in the granite shaft to the memory oi our i heroes who are bo fast passing away. f Within three weeks the monument will be r Jhtpped, and It will require only a short time to set It ap. The date of unveiling has not t yet been set, but It will be In tbe near future, s This it something that all of us should take li a keen Interest in, for he who Is not moved ? by the heroic deeds of our fathers and Is not i touched with sentiment when he remembers | the endurance of hardships, the self-Bacrltlce 'j that the "old soldiers" underwent "Is fit for K treason, strategems and spoils. Let no such d jYr man be trusted." g We will all take a lively Interest In this f event. Prewbyierinn Kcbuol. The action of the Presbytery last week In awarding to Abbeville the high school for this A division of the Presbyterian church Is a mat- i ; - -.v IMensjuit Announcement. In a recent Issue ol the Columbia Record rblch copy has been mlpplaoed, tbe an ouncement la made that tbe paper wlli enceforth aspire to be BomethlDg more than local paper. The Reoord now hopes to become a Statt ewspaper, and It It makes the proper efforl re predict that its circulation will extend tc very part of t he State. And what la more he principles and the high conduct of th( Lecord will meet a well detlued demand Iron: majority of the people. We believe thai all tbe dally newspapers o his State play upon tbe same string all tb< ime, and that the Interests and feelings o hose people ol tbe State who hold oplnioni liferent from their own are disregarded nd that up to this time a majority of th< eople have bad no spokesman among iht ally press. Tbe tact that the dally press ot this Stall as not represented the sentiment of t aejority ol the people has been proven ai very election for the last fifteen yearB. O ourte we do not now recall the particular) f each eleatton since Tillman came on thi tage, but We do not recolleot of a single Intance where tbe sentiments, or the edltoria iterances, of tbe dally press have been eniorsed by the people at any election. Their utterances, or tbelr editorial sentiments, have been repudiated at each recur ing election,and il is surprising lo as that nc ewspaper, possessing views in accord wltfc tie majority of tbe people, has not before ow sought lo answer tbe requirements. Atlanta bas tbree evening papers and each eeks to become spokesman, not only for tbc Ity, but for tbe wbole State. There Is a demand in tbls State tor an pen, frank and honest paper like the Record. It has the courage to express Its wn convictions, and wblcb convictions we elieve are more nearly in sympathy with ae sentiments and tbe desires of a majority f tbe voters of tbls State. And wby may ot a majority of tbe people bave a dally ewspaper? Altbougb tbere is no opposing candidate gainst Tillman, tbe people are as able as we re to estimate the space tbat 1b taken up In se malicious abuse of Tillman. Tbere seems 3 be neither rhyme nor reason in abasing 1m at this time. Anybody, except tbe dally press of tbls late, it seems to us knows tbat tbe people ndorse Tillman. Then, wby should tbe reatment of their favorite candidate be am ujoiiwo ui uuiniiucBii tiu u ticitiLiuof rhlcb the people neither believe nor enorst? The News and Courier, for instance, would ring up aDcleut history In ,Its needless Sorts to aunoy Mr. Tillman and his friends, That paper would place him In an unenvible light before tbe public in reference tc be Aiken affair. While doing this it would Ive Tillman greater honors than were evei eld by any any man. That paper chargei 'illman with Hampton's overthrow. Another has truthfully said that Tlllmar ras only the symptom and not the cause o he situation. Whether with or without cause, the people tad become tired of Hampton, and thej nnged for a new leader. Tillman, Hk< itbers, was tired of Hampton, and he bat be courage of his convictions. His utter ioce met a responsive chord In the hearts o he people. He bad ability and was brave Personally he bad up to that time no bold 01 be people. They would have as readlij ollowed any other man with like principles The Aiken incident should be barred bj itatute of limitations, even If Tillman erred In 1876 the people found a beloved, wlsi tnd conservative leader in Hampton. Hi escued the State from the hands of tb< illen and the negro. Hut In the oonrse of time the peopl bought, whether correctly or not, that th State was in the bands of a coterie or rlni rom which the great mass of voters were ex tluded. During the time of this feeling of dlssatls Action Tillman appeared on tbe scene ahi ^ropcsed to have a new deal by which otherf julelde tbe favored class, should have i jbance at the offices and the government Fearless, Intelligent and honest, he wreste* be goveanment of the State from the band >f Hampton and his friends, and placed th tame Id his own hands and lo the haDds c lis followers. Whether Tillman was rlgb >r wrong In doing so need not now be dlt :usBed. The fact has gone into history. Tbe friends of the Hampton rule hav never forgiven Tillman, and that hatred a expressed In tbe daily press ol tbe State would flill volumes. As we see It, tbe dall; areas has never respectcd tbe friends of th >eop!e, nor have they sympathised with th jress In their assaults upon him, and, if the; lave ever believed a word of slander agalns llm they have In resei tment for the unjus ind tbe wicked manner In which be ba >een treated, excu?ed.blm. For bis part i: iellverlng them from the bands of those wh ,ook charge of the government In 1S76, the, 'eel grateful. If the people bad a dally pape ;bat|was fair to them, the friends of Tillmai would resent the attack, which the pres ire now making on Tillman. And if the daily press found that tbel inbaorlptlons were being curtailed as i -esult of vicious attacks upon Tillman, tbes results ;would be either stopped or modifiec So daily paper being friendly to Tillman, bl Irlends must submit to bis insult. Bu i new pape.r friendly to Tillman will b affective. Wben truthful and impartial biographers c Hampton and Tillman shall write of then >oth of these eminent Carolinians will be ac jorded a good place in the history of Souti Carolina. Each in turn was a successfc eader of the people. The dally press of the State, In seasoi lud out season, has tried to bcsmlrcb Til nan's good name and weaken bis lDfluenci nit nobody bas been ungraclouB enough t magnify Hampton's faults or to assail bi (baracter. Wltb tbeee facts before us, tbe ^ress am Janner Is glad to bave an Independent am lonest dally paper tbat can be fair to botl ?lllman and Hampton.

ANOTHER WRECK ON 8. A, 1 ? They are Becoming Very F re que of I??ie?Wrecking Ci'fw >?l M'orli Passenger Train* au<l Fnlxli Cannot Move. y One of the worst mlxups which has ha pened on tbeSeaboard lu some time occurr ?bout 1 o'clock Tuesday morning, wti 9 frelgbttraln No. 9, south bound, collided wl 0 two freight cars and a caboose, which bad some unaccountable manner, cut loose fro the shops, meettDg No. 9 about four ml from Abbeville In the direction of Gree e wood.

This comes with peculiar foi 0 as the editor Is a strong friend of Mr. Tlllmi s and a dispensary advocate In season and c ; of seasoD, and yet be Is not so blinded by p ' judice.as to be unable to see that Mr. Ly ? naR been unjustly treated by Tillman. e No doubt the onslaught made upon fl e Lyon will strengthen blm In Abbeville cot ty which 1b bis home and whose people 7 represented In the last legislature. Fr< t what we can bear it Is sure to have that eff 1 in Greenwood. We beard a Greenwood m remark, who was in Columbia the night tt 8 Tillman made bis attack on Lyon, that Q certainly Intended to do all that he could o the young man who had brought down ^ his need the fiery indignation of Mr. Tiilmi r q iue .rrebb a. ntiLiuur, i? Biruug uinpeusn supporter an well a* a supporter ofMr. T 8 man, feels constrained to say: "In all c< soleuce we protest against the cruel and i r becoming attack wblob Mr. Tillman t made on Mr. Lyon." This does the head a a beart of the editor of the Press and Bani e credit, especially as It is not a supporter [ Mr. Lyon's candldaoy. The Herald and Ne . of Newberry, who is supporting Gen. Y< 8 mans and not Mr. Lyon, says; Such attat it can only help the one at whom they t e aimed. >f We reproduce In another column what I Abbeville Press and Banner has to say of 1 ' Krasler.Lyon. Notwithstanding the fact tl - the Press and Banner has all along been a d b pensary paper, we are not surprised at wl it says. We know it also to be an honest] 1 per. We are ofteD at disagreement with but years ot acquaintance have confirmed q in the belief that whether right or wrong, I . Press and Banner Is always Just what lip lesses to be and the fact tbat it occupies ?, given position is evidence that it believes tt 0 position to be right. Mi. Lyon was also dispensary man until after he became a me 8 ber oMhat investigating committee. He v accustomed to defend the dispensary In pi 1 lie and in private sgalDSt all comers, and . was honest in It too. It was not until he ( 0 In a position to see the truth for himself tt a be changed his position, and now be kno a that ibe dispensary won I do. The only tbl strange about the whole proceeding Is U entertaining such an opinlou asitbas ofl Lyon, it Is not convinced with Mr. Lyon tt the dispensary won't do. However, we thi that the Press and Banuer will come arou all right after a while. It Is too fair mine to cling to error after It has been convlm that Its position 1b untenable from the etai point of right.

Miss Helen Miller, daughter of Mr. 1. C Miller, of tbis city and Mr. Edward Cornelius DuPre of Columbia, were married at borne on the afternoon of July 23,1906, her pastor, the Kev. E. B. Kennedy, performing the ceremony. Miss Lorena Heacliam, who Is distinguished for taking a high stand In the class room, Ih equally well known, for tier artistic touch ol the keys, played the wedding march, and during the ceremony the sou tones of Nchubert's serenade fell upon me earn of those present. Refreshments were nerved by as pretty maids as ever made glad tbe heart or admiring bachelors or gave a thrill of pay to a mother. The bridal presents were admired by all, and testified the lovo and esteem of the givers. Among the guests from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Ernest DuPre, and Miss Agues DuPre ol Columbia, Miss Harah Barmore ol Donalds. The parlor In which the marriage took place was beautitully decorated with vine and leaf, with bud and llower, with lestoons and nature's polled gilts. / We all know and love tbe pretty bride. And we are told tbe moat pleasant things ot the handsome groom, ft is said that in character and manly bearing, he Is all that could be desired. Aud in the' trade of a Jub printer be Is doing a successful and growing business. His fatner is Mr. B. Chirk DuPre huu his mother was Miss Barinore before her marriage. For a hundred years the Bartnores ar.d ti e DuPres have been good people in Anbevllle M" linPrn Ik lh? Kiihlorl of congratulation. Since women have been listening to ttie sweeiest story ev?-r beard, no man ba? won a (airer bride or a sweeier heart iliuu Mr. 1 uPre carried home witb ftlm. At six o'o.octc the carriages in walling carried tbe bridal party to Ihe Southern statiou, and Boon ibey were off for home. Mr* Beacham, wbo has been visiting In (;?>lumbi? thinks it la lun to keep house wiih a g*s cook stove, and she predicts tiiat. the bride will go on au extended ptcnlc at hout>ekeeriuk. But whether she ke^ps bouse witb a ?as stove, or boards with others, she has the benediction of a host of friends. May tbe bride and the groom never love each other iess th<n now, and may good health and good spirits, the best things this side the tClver.be aud remain with them for many years. .
