The meeting of the Press Associa^ tion held at White StoDe Springs, July 11 to the 14fcb, was well attended by members of the Fourth Estate. ' *- * 1 -1 ? ? ? ?tkn larAAof JLD ISCt It WHO pocunps wo tm^von gathering of editors in this State in Some * years. Many old members Were present and several new ones admitted It w&s a very profitable as well as interesting one, as several instructive papers relative to newspaper making in all its departments, were read and ably discussed by the members. This inter-change of opinions and experiences are beccm ing to be quite a feature of these anmnil gatherings. The addresses of L CoL 8. H. Hardwick, General Traffic Agent of the Southern Railway with headquarters at Washington, D C, whose tbeme was "The Story of the South, and Mr. St. Elmo Massengale, of Atlanta, Ga., whose subjact was ??? ** ? " ? it a j "I'D9 jKeiauon 01 sue a.uvert>ieiu|? >: Agent to the Newspaper Publisher," are deserving of special mention because they were thong': fcfal papers carefully prepared. We were well and attentively entertained by Mr. & j Seftall, the genial manager and sfifar ble proprietor of the hotel. It is certainly a grand and magnificent -;> building, richly and luxuriously furnished with all the convenience that will add pleasure to comfort of the goests. Spacious grounds, some of which are artistically laid off " while others stand in tteir rugged but none-the-lees beauty dressed in their primeveal grandeur and inspiring majesty. The waters have taken the gold medal wherever exhibited and have a world wide reputation for their medicinal virtues, making it one of the most ideal summer resorts - In the wide world. The gang selected White Stone Spriogs as the next place of meeting. All the old offices were re-elected and after votes or tbanfcs were pa9sea toe me$ting adjmrned and the brethren departed on their several ways feel' ing sBsnred that it was good for them to have been there and with joyous expectations of having a gladsome time at the next annual meeting of the Association. Some of the members will take the trip to the wild and wooly West aDd expect to see the natives "in their songs, dances and plays." w -y ======= Last Thursday we had occasion to visit the growing town of Lsesville, and though our mission was a sad one?being to pay the last sad tribute to the memory of our Brother MasoD, J. J. Shealy?yet we could not help but be glad to notice the many evidences of progress the town has made since last we were there. Many improvements to private residences and business houses have been made and we are informed / that many others are contemplated. These improvements adds greatly to 1 the appearance of the town. The - -ipeople there are cultured and refin- 1 'f >v ed, are generous and hospitable aod take a pardonable pride in the future of their pretty little town. They are united in their determination to accomplish yet greater things to beautify and improve their town. It is the seat of the educational inforoefa nf tkft nnrmtv?Lrftofmlle College being located there and this institution has bad no little to do in moulding the moral and sooisl sentiment of the community. Its merchants are live, progressive and energetic, and are bending their ' every energy to increase the business of the place. They are courteous, polite and attentive to their customers. They all carry large and attractive lines of general merchandise consisting of the latest fashions in dry goods, dress goods, notions and millinery as well as fancy and staple groceries. They study to please their customers and as a consequence they attract a Urge trade from the surrounding country. Tney are a clever set of sound, safe and conservative business men and we are always delighted to meet them. Congressman Lever is adding new honors to his fame as an orator and each day the mail brings him one or more invitations from different parts of the State to make an address before all kinds of meetioga. There is perhaps no better equipped and popular young man in public life in the State today than is Mr. Lever. He has thoroughly studied political economy and those effecting the moral and social relations of the people, and his mind is etc red with DeipiUi lDiormaiiiuu uu iuomj uuvj^vo. Being a gifted orator he presents his ideas with such force and eloquence that carries the conviction of their soundness to the minds of his bearers. He has made the following dates for speeches: The Soldiers Reunion of Saluda county, August 4th. Sunday School Reunion at Cedar Gro^e church, August 5;h. Alliance picnic at Piney Woods church, August 12 Farmers' Rally, Anderson Court House, August 16 There were numerous other invitations which he was reluctantly compelled to decline on account of previous engagements. A young man was accidentally killed in a pool room io Gaffmy recently. There were several other yonng men present at the time of the tragedy. They bad been up all night indulging in other disappations. Cherokee county, of which Gaffoey is the county seat, recently voted out the dispensary and the load mouth' anti dispensarites were boisteriouB in their declarations that not a drop of whiskey could be obtained for love or money. After the dispensary what? Pool rooms, gambling hells and whiskey joint3 when our young men are lead from the paths of morality and sobriety. Brother Bscod, of the Edgefield Chronicle, is sighing "for a summer mansion in Greenland's icy mount* ains," and judging from bis expressions in another paragraph of the same issue of paper, "he i9 ready for the voyage, as tears cime quickly to his eyes as he contemplated Olivet within the presence of bis Lord." It is said that the Bulgarians who have been wagiDg war on Servian residents of Macedonia, have killed twenty-three priests, thirtj-two teachers and over 400 Servians. Senator W. A Clarke, of Montanp, has undergone an operation for an abcess of the brain in New York The latest reports from his bedside are that he is improving. Protracted Meetings.
