Wednesday, June 19, 1907. , 1 Tie Press Association. The thirty-third annual meeting of I the South Carolina Press Association met on the Isle of Palms, Charleston, lask Thursday. It was our good pleasure to attend this meeting, and meet our old acquaintances, although but few of the bid r^inxe are mow members of theassociation, most of them having died or gone into other fields of labor rinee our last meeting with the association* several years ago. But it was indeed a pleasure to minwith the vonnsrer brethren of the f press and to exchange ideas, thus keeping in closer touch with the newsfrom the arduous duties of a country office. v Through the kindness of the Southerst railway, we arrived in Charleston on due time Wedpesd^y evening, where we were met at the station by a jovial and charming set of gentlemen, consisting of prominent citizens of Charleston's Board of Commerce and the management of .the Hotel Seashore, who took charge of and accompanied us to the boat, and soon had-us comfortably and delightfully situated at the Hotel Seashore on the |61e6fPalms. The association opened its session Thureday moniing.with President E, H. Anil, of the Newberry Herald and News, in chair.^ The feature of of^relcome by^ Mayor R. Goodwin Rhett on behalf of Charleston, who, in his inimitable way, welcomed the gentlemen of the press to Charleston. Mayor Rhettjs *a very entertaining Mayor Rhett was followed by that pfrif&e of good fellows and brilliant' newspaper writer, W. W. Ball, of the apd Courier, on behalf of the newspaper fraternity. Mr. Ball proved .that he was as much of an ?$^tor as jb^i^a writer, and his address proof of tbe.plea8nre experienced on the tot visit. After the reading of the reports of officers of the association, interesting pikers were read by several membeqp, Which closed the bnsaineas session - A feature?and one that was enjoyed by not only the members of the press but by hundreds of others as well?was the automobile races on the beach late in the afternoon. ' On Friday morning, at 10:30, the majority of the members, accompanied by a large number of ladies, left for Mt. Pleasant on a fishing frolic. Those who did not care to join this party, enjoyed themselves in various ways?some went in bathing; others .ft engaged in social converse on the *eol pavilion at the Isle of Palms or at the' Hotel Seashore. Those who went on the fishing trip claimed to BE--' had a glorious time. However, some of those in the party, so we were told, preferred the "bait in the bottle," consequently the catch was light, only one little cat-fish, about ~aix inches long, being caught by the Whole party. Delightful refreshments were served throughout the trip by Col. R. W. Hump, as master of ceremoniesr. ^Saturday at 11 o'clock the association reassembled for business. Maj. J. C. Hemphill, of the News and TConrier, moved that the old officers % - w?"'" bOre-elected, which met with the -hearty ajpproval.of the entire body. 'The officer? are as follows: President, E. H. Aull, Herald and News, Newberry; first vice-president, William Banks, The State, Columbia; Second vice-president, J. C. Mace, the Star, Marion; chaplain, the Rev. j W. P. Jacobs, D. D., Our Monthly, Clinton; treasurer, August Kohn, the vflwo ar?H rionrier Bureau, Columbia; \ t , ..i Xib r? w wuw v ? _ . _ t secretary, R. L. Freeman, Pee-Dee Advocate, Bennettsville; executive committee, C. M. Galloway, The State, Columbia; E. H. DeCamp, Ledger, Gaffney; W. W. Ball, The News and Courier, Charleston. The brilliant feature of Saturday's session was the annual address by Mr. A. B. Williams, editor of the Richmond News-Leader, who arrived on Saturday and was met by the following committee, who had been appointed to escort him to the Hotel Seashore: Messrs. A. W. Knight, T. B. Crews, S. H. Rogers aud G. M Harm an. Mr. Williams' address proved ver} interesting to the entire body o newspaper men, inasmuch as it was i brief history of the newspapers ii South Carolina during the turbulen times of '76, and of the grea power of The News and Courier as i moulder of public opinion during th< days ofteapt. Dawson; of the man} trying experiences of himself whil< connected with The Journal of Com merce, and of many other interesting and exciting periods. Taking th< speech as a whole it was a masterl} effort?the work of a masterly mind Mr. Williams was for several yean editor of the Greenville News. A1 his friends were delighted to hav( him .with as on this occasion. This ended, practically, the bus! ness sessions of the association anc a place for the next meeting was dis cussed. Maj. Hemphill, and others extended a warm and pressing in vita to the association to return to Charles ton next year, and Mr. DeCamp, o: the Gaffney Ledger, extended an in vitation, backed by the Chamber o Commerce of his city, and his in vita tion was accepted. The associatior will meet next year at Gaffney, where we will look to onr young friend, De Camp, to give us a good time. The meeting of 1907 came to a close with a grand reception and dance al the Hotel Seashore Saturday even ing, which was one of the most sue cessful and brilliant events in the annals of South Carolina. A more beau tiful mid handsome set of womer never graced a dancing hall. Young men?and old ones, too?danced tc the sweet music rendered bj the famous artilery band, until 11 o'clock, when the last train left the Island.tor Charleston, and the recep uion uauic uu a viuoc. We are indeed glad that we wen1 to the Press Association, and glac that we met so many of our brethren. We expect to go again next year, unless the unforeseen occurs. We shaL hold in grateful remembrance the many kindnesses showi} us by the good people of - historic Charleston, and we trust that she will continue tc grow as the green bay tree. In a future article we will speak ol the grow tit of Charleston in the past Wflarar^ ~? ^ mdowers and old maids, bachelors and widows, yonng men and maidens, as well as the boys'and girls yet ir their tepns, have the, marriage fevei in Lexington. The members of the press could noi have fallen into better hands thai those of CoL J. p. Hemphill and Col W. M. Ball, bo^h affable, genial anc kind, left nothing undone that wonlc add to the pleasure of the newspapei men and women, who gathered 01 the Isle of Palms last week. All praise to the newspaper fraternity of Char leston! Friday, June 28, has been set foi /'South Carolina Day" at the James town Exposition. Every Caroliniaz that intends to visit the expositor should do so on this occasion. t The people of Barnwell and Ker shaw counties will soon vote upon the dispensary question.

The edition consists of forty-eight pages ably edited, and gotten up with unus ual care. It shows the many advan tages of Charleston as a port, anc that it will go a long way toward in creasing the business of Charlestor and the State at large, is not doubted, The State is one of the best paperf published in the south, and the "Ex port Edition" is a credit to the man agement of this great daily.
