I Wednesday, July 8, 1908. PretiM ANHOClalion. The meeting ol tbe South Carolina Press Association at Waflney last weefc, empbaniaori tirat nf all thfl fact of South Carolina hospitality. Tue two last meetings have been at the opposite limits of the State; near the deep sea and near the towering mountain; and irom these points as well as from all intermediate meetings press representatives have borne to tbelr homes the consciousness that tne people of tbls State are cbaracterlzed by big warm hearts, tilled with "the milk of human kindness." Gaflney was thrown wide open to the newspaper men. Neither script nor purae was needed, for everything was in readiness,without money and without price, to the press representatives. Under the leadership of Editor DeCamp, ably assisted by every man In Gaffney, even to the humblest, a careful and elaborate program of entertainment was prepared, which spoke volumes tor Gaffney enterprise. But for the main factor of enjoyment, open hearted hospitality, that was everywhere noticed, no preparation was necessary?It was born in them. The Association was welcomed to Gaffney In a most thoughtful and entertaining speech by Prof. Griffin, while the doors of Limestone College were inrown open by Dr. L. B. Lodge President or ihe college, who treated representative* iO a beautiful and eloquent address of w< lcorae. President Aull responded In his isf-util bappy manner and tbe aflalrs of the Association were well under way. While It Is Impossible to give tbe program In detail, It may Justly be said that It was Interesting throughout. To one who is fond of music, almost to a fault, pardon will be granted for mentioning the Orpheus of this as of many previous meetings, Col. Jas.T. Bacon. With bis nsual obliging manner he drew the sweetest strains from the piano. One coald almost Imagine the harmony of the muses set In motion by tbe oollege girl devotee, and prnned of all Imperfections, echoed In the sonorous tones that wooed his hearers. The Association met 8nd was entertained In Limestone College, a large building with wide piazzas, ample proportions and snrroanded by a beautiful grove that might have sheltered tbe red man in his day. Tbe oollege building is situate on a slight elevation which slopes gradually 10 wnere a email tream finds its tortuous way, through tbe deep shade of a natural park. The reBtful green Is In evidence everywhere?about the college. It crownB tbe hill and fringes the stream. Limestone spring Is near the oollege grounds, from which gushing fountain the city takes lt? supply of water. Within sight of the oollege may also be seen tbe large lime quarrle9, from which some 500 barrels of lime are sent daily. Gaffney Is rlob In mineral resources. It has, beside tbe splendid lime quarries, a tin mine seoond to none In tbe United States.and kaolin beds from which tbe finest ware is made. Tbe plates used in entertaining tbe representatives of the press were made from Gaffney kaolin. Gaffney Is a town of about 6000 Inhabitants. It has three cotton manufactures, beside oil mills, ice plant and hundreds of smaller industries. In the tour of tbe city enjoyed by the representatives Tuesday afternoon, souvenirs were banded to all from the different m 111b. Towels of especial ly pretty work manship and design were given out at tbe towel mill. Gavels and walking sticks out rrom < historic battlefields were also distributed. , These are tangible reminders of a most pleasant vl sit, but tbe Impress upon tbe heart, of lnd lvidual cordiality Is even more emphatic and lastlDg. City Parks. We notice In our exchanges that the subJ ect of parka Is attracting attention In various cities. And while all eyes In Abbeville are turned to tbe monument park with tbe expectation that beautiful fountains may soon ornament tbe place, there Is still the possibility of a more beautiful park above tbe spring, reaching to tbe city hall and to the court house. Tbe magnificent oaks and tbe smaller trees that give a splendid Bbade offer the greatest Inducement for development. Tradition ha* it that tbe court house was located here more than a hundred years ago because of the spring from which flows tbe most sparkling cool water. With the removal of some rubbish, and little labor in beautl- 1 fylng, we may have a park which, in attrao- , tlveness, would be inferior to none. A few terraoes, some grass, and a little attention a delightful retreat for children and tired folk would be baa, wbere tbe shade and tbe flowing; water would afford pleasure to all. The spring Itself Is an heirloom, and ODe to ! be hlghtly prized both for Its lntrlnslo worth 1 and for tbe tradition that comes to us with It. May the refreshing waters ol that fountain which was furnished by nature, never cease < aud may its refreshing draughts never fall to < give relief to the thirsty citizen who may rest within the shade of the surrounding trees. No place on earth could be made prettier with < less expense. It might be made a sort of 1 lovers retreat as well as a play-ground for little children. c Mr. Foster Calvert Is ready to give you the < needed registration ticket. Call at Mr. E. R. i Thomson's store. i 1 Your name will be Dennis, if you don't * register. e Mr. Bherrard, at Thomson's store, has a registration ticket whloh he will give you for the asking. 6 _ t Get a registration tloket, If you don't want to get dog bit. g You will want to vote, but you can't do it E without a registration ticket. t Farmers expeet a good price for ootton, and if this wet weather continues, they will earn t all they can get. e Work on Mr. Dargan's new store progresses, and Mr. Ellis and other owners of the build- t Ing are happy. a Mr. Mlckllff of tbe Elberton oil mill (l was In town Monday, locking alter various matters of Interest to bis mill.

Be Dokr Mnnt be Muzzled. ltf The city fathers have enacted a municipal law to the efl'eot that all dogs of the city trl must be muzzled by thetL-ntb of this month. d This is a law!

We do not doubt that he said it. This editor has often said he wonld bet. While saying tbat be would bet he really did , not mean tbat he wonld bet. Tbe friends of a : Gov. Ansel may easily enough find out If cii Bleaee has money to stake on the election. This can be done in tbe usual way by ofler- a i lng to "take his bet," or by offering (to cover ed the bet. Ansel's friends, no doubt, have great anti- up oatbv for Blease. But tbe reading publlo a i may develope a good sense of tbe love of otJ fair play. Tbe persecution of Joe by Hoke ne h?d a result different from what was expect ed.

'be college la run on tbe coeducational in, and while we are not certain that we derstand tbe "Honor Roll," It seems to us it tbe young ladles came out victors. Of irse we understand tbe explanatory notes ring tbe meaning of "1" and "2," but what es tbe blank, or dotted line, mean. Does it san that tbe student did not study tbe urses named in the columns so marked tb the doited line; or did tbey study it and If )n the face of tbe tables, it appears to us attbeglrl8 bore off tbe honors from the yr.

[t mast be a mutter of pleasure to the lends of tbe Institution to note that tbe evlinoe of new life and new growth Is everytiere apparent. Many Improvements are oposed, which, If carried oat, will greatly Id to the attractiveness of tbe college. EnDeed In the catalogue Is this "Bulletin," as piece apart from the catalog^ Itself: Proposed Improvements. 1 SEWERAGE. Since the adoption of the dormitory system Ersklne College there bat* been no epldemof a serious disease among the ftudentB. ae faculty and those in direct charge of tbe irmltorles have endeavored to exercise eat care so as to prevent tbe outbreak and revalence of slcKness among tbe students, bat their efforts bave met with such success extremely gratifying. Illness among the students seriously lnteripts the college and class room work, and is itrimental to tbe college from every point ' view. As tbe student body has materially [creased In r?cent years and tbe dormitories e more crowded it has been decided to ake assurance doubly sure, and guard ;alnst the possibility of trouble of this kind > far as we can do so, by providing sewerage, id a wholesome and abundant water supy for tbe college and dormitories. The impus, lying on a ridge sloping on two des, Is lavorably sltuated'for tbe making of iese Improvements. It is the purpose to provide a deep well at a invenlent point and equip It with an adelate pnmplng apparatus. When these lmovements have been successiolly accomlBbed we hope to add other conveniences as on aH practicable. One step forward always 'epares the way for advance movements, ae day ought not to be far off when all tbe illdlngs on tbe campus will be lighted with eotrlcity. 2 CAMPUS IMPROVEMENTS, A. neat fenoe will Roon be constructed ound the campus. We expect this to be e first and tbe neoeB&ary step to permanent ark npon the college grounds. All will ree tbat the oampus sbouldjoe made more tractive In appearance. To a<> an mat ieds to be done In beautifying tbe grounds tbe college will call tor considerable expenture of money, mor??, lndped, than tbe colje funds can uow afford. Irtblawnrk la to i done at an early day, and done well, tbe lends of tbe college will bave to come to e belp of tbe Institution wltb tbe necessary eans. Tbe campus grounds are highly vored of nature, and with needed attention uld be made a charming place. 3 EUPHEMIAN HALL. We are looking forward to tbe ereotion of aew ball for tbe Hughemlan Literary Soaty. The present building la tbe oldest upi the campus. It has been worked over veral times. It can not be made to present ;ood appearance. Tbe roof Is so constructthat leaks seem unavoidable. As long as e water disfigures tbe walls there Is noenuragement to tbe young men to try to fix their ball. Tbe only solution seems to be new building. [f all the ?uphemlan alumni and members tbe EupbemlaD Soolety will co-operate a iw ball can easily be bollt. The literary societies of Ersklne College derve tbe best that can be given tbem. Tbey ive been valuable features of the college, ley have played an important part In traing young men to utilize their scbolastio atInments in publlo address. An education all the more valuable when tbe possessor 0 appear before tbe people wltb ease and liver his message wltb grace and fluenoy. Tbe literary societies bave received special re and attention In Ersklne College. It is it going beyond tbe mark to say th?t tbe aduates of tbe oollege vindicate the wisdom this policy. One indication of tbe special terest bestowed npon these societies Is me lslence of separate buildings for their use, us accentuating their place and importce. So vital are tbey regarded tothelarg1 efficiency of tbe college tbat special iDses bave been erected and set apart to eir exclusive use. Every student has this it Impressed upon blm when be comes to e Institution. Every visitor to tbe oollege s his attention arretted by this fact.

Now. neighbor, Is it possible that you want a mayor to be good for nothing? i Bryan's Running Mate. Ordinarily in selecting a running mate for a presidential candidate little more Is expected of him ?h*n to carry his own stale. Sometimes, not even ttils much In accomplished. Governor Johnson of Minnesota has been stubbornly pushed for tbe Presidential nomination, by hi* friends, nn<l by some far seeing ones he has been oalled upon to surrender bis higher aspirations and to aooept second place. Various other men, prominent in theirs ates, have been mentioned; but neither in tbe lukewarm support of Gov. Johnson, appealing to the more conservative of tbe democrats, generally over the north, nor in the hope of carrying a doubtful state by honoring it with the vice presidential noailnatlonlies the way to vlotory. The name of Mr. Mltchel, ex-president of tbe Mlners Association has been mentioned for second place, but the publlo has not enthused over this suggestion. Why not? Time and again he has been called in by tbe President to help adjust serious labor troubles and bli counsel and advloe have always been wise discreet and statesman-like. He has been tbe safety valve between corporate oppression and tbe unrest of organized labor. He is ?he foremost representative ol laborer In the' Unlted Slates today. If democracy stands for anything, it is for equality to all men before tbe law. Nine tenths of the population of this country le composed of men who earn a living by manual labor. Is It asking too much that tbey have speolflo representation in tbe second place of the National ticket? No matter who Is selected lor the flrat place the other thsnt will be fully represented and even without representation tbey oould take care of themselves. Mitchells a man of parts. Th^re la nothing ot the cheap politician about, him. He is an educated man of rtflned sensibilities and great wisdom br h* has shown where bis services as an arbitrator or as h labor advocate have bfen oa l-'d for. If democrats honest in their appeal to the masses they should oome out like men and show that they intend not only to promise but to do substantial Justice, by recognizing them through their leading exponent. There are few states in the North that do not go with the labor uulons.and there are few labor unions that would not follow this man who has battled so valiantly for the cause ot labor. Ergo, with Bryan and Mltcbel, a democratic president would be a possibility. This would not be feeding labor with dope; it would be a substantial recognition that the Republican party has overlooked. The dog muzzles have oome, and every dog wants one. Owners can get a good muzzle for .15 cents to put on a 10 oonts dog. Mr. Cromer says that would be a fine Investment?provided you know what "fine" means. Everybody claimed Monday that he had tbe best crop of grass that be had bad In years. If rains oontlnue, tbere will b9 no demand for Western bay. If rabbits had wings the dogs couldn't catch them. If dogs are muzzled bow do you expect them to catch 'possums and coonE? Mr. Jamea L Roche, one of tbe best m?o In town, Is sick In bed. He has been away from bla store for several days. Mr.. W. T. Bradley has been at Cedar Springs for several weeks. He ban been drinking little mountain water and Is now complaining of feeling much better. A great multitude of tbe beBt people In Abbeville hope for bis oomplete restoration to bealtb.
