Perhaps the most successful meet- j ing of the South Carolina Press Association ever held has just ccme to a close after a session of four days duration at White Stone Lithia Springe, in Spartanburg county.

A number of interesting papers were read treating tbe different departments of the printing business in a masterly and entertaining manner. The most of theee papers, especially those dealing with the business department, were very thoughtful, bearing the ear marks of care and study in their preparation. They contained practical suggestions and wholesom e advice as to the conduct % and management of tbe finances of the printing business. We want to say right here that these meetings are inj creasing in interest and the change of i views and! experiences are helpful and of considerable value. It is claimed that the hotel at White i Stone Lithia Springs has the reputa- j tion of being one of the largest I brick buildings in the State.
