Thursday . lust was South Carolina Stato Proas Assnciatio'n day at tho s.nilli Carolina Intor-Stato and Wost Indian Exposition. It was a rod lotter day tojc ninny newspaper mon and their wive?, daughters, histora ami sweethearts from all sections of tho State. It was the writer's good fortuno to roprosont the Keowee Courier on that auspicious occa sion. Tin editors hud been invited to come to ( li.M lr .tun as tho guests of the exposition managers, and as a news paper man never was known to slight au Invitation to partake of a good thing, ho wont-slio wont-they all went. And to sny they were ?lad to bo thoro, is put ting it lightly. They carno, they saw, ana were conquered. Their most fanci ful dreams were moro than realized. At eleven o'clock Thursday morning the p?l'ty was met at Tho Argyle Hotol hy a committee, with (.'ol. J. C. Hemp hill, thc veteran editor of tho Nows and fourier, ns chairman. Mayor .1. Adger Smythe was also present to extend a welcome in his own inimitable stylo. After the OXohatlge of ?jreotings and hearty hand-shakes the arrival of two of the largest special cars of tho Consoli dated Company was announced. They were soon filled, anti tho ride of two miles to tho exposition grounds begun amid tho chattering of merry voices. Arriving at the mounds, t ho party as ' sembled at tho spacious auditorium. Here addresses of welcome were made by Col.,). c. Homphill, manager of the department of promotion and publicity of the Exposition Company ; Col, J.H.

A procession was formed in front of tho auditorium, and the party proceeded across the easy asphalt walks toward the Sunken Gardon. The hand stain! and conning tower conies in between and this was made the first stop and the beauties of tho surroundings fully enjoyed. Then over the arched bridges to tho gardens in the miniature lake, and again across, when opposite the. central entrances of tho South Carolina buildlug. inside the Agricultural building thoro was found a large fOico hard at work gettiie; the finishing touches put on the various and beautiful State exhibits. Spar tau burg, having a large space and having also very nearly completed tho work of creel ion and docoratlou, ic eni ved a groat amount of attention. Half au hour or moro was spent in this building and then the stops wero turned to the other great buildings In t ho chain of palaces, 'rho Colonados, whero tho handsome exhibits from United States war and navy departments aro being placed, received considerable notice, anti the visilois wero particularly interested lu the miniature models of tho United States battleships, cruisers and gun boats, The Colton Unlace was reached after a lime and the multitude of booths and exhibits taken in with a passing glauco only, There was not time foran extended examination of any ono tiling, and the march was continued around the mile and a third circle of the court. The Palace of Commorooreceived some atten tion and then the Minos and Forestry building was visited. Kverywhoro tho visitors I urned they were surprised and pleased With thograndeur and excellence of tho structures. No minor detail seemed to be overlooked and buildings of such si/.e and capacity bad not bcon contemplated by those who have only road figures and descriptions of tho ex position. As was often remarked, 'ho exposition will have to ho seen to bo ap preciated and understood. Tho press party went across the GrOVO street road way luto tho Natural section and the first building visited hero was that of Maryland, if tney had been pleased before the visitors were doubly so when they entered I be exquisite homo of the Maryland commission, with its restful air, and its almost classic beauty bf ar chitecture and llnish. The Now York building, the Pennsylvania building and the Philadelphia building were all vis ited and duly admired and then a trip was made lo the Palace Of Kine Arts. This was) followed by a short journey to the Fisheries building, and a view of tho Machinery Hall, Bloctrical and Trans portation buildings was bad across Hake .I nanita. Tin- procession was moving towaids tho Woman's building at this lime, and the buildings for Illinois, Honduras, Hie Louisiana Finchase com mission, Guatomala, Alaska, Cincinnati, thc Neuro building and other structures in valions stagos of completion wero shown. Tho party had walked more than one mile by Hie limo tho entrance to tho splendid old Colonial residence was reached that 'onus the principal portion ol the Woman's building, and it was with the greatest of pleasure that all went in and were made comfortable in the many and beautiful and interest ing rooms lr ohargo Of tho Woman's department. AT TUB WOMAN'S HUI I.DINO, A ton and reception was tendered by the ladies ot H. . Woman's department at three o'clock in the afternoon. Tho visilois had spent four hours on the grounds and walked several miles, but bert! a pleasant sui prise was in store. Tho (louis of tho largo assembly hall were I bi own open and tho visitors in vited to enter, real and refresh them selves. Tho room had beiui transformed by (b lt bands into a perfect bower of beauty, flowers and potted plants add to its charm. At tho western end of the hall were seated t.overnor Mcsweeney and Mrs. Mcsweeney, President and Mrs. K. H. Aull, .?lrs. s. <;.

Mrs. Simmonds, on behalf of the Wo man's department, opened tho proceed ings by extending a cordial woleome to tho visit?is, in which she OZ pressed thc pleasure it gave tho ladies of the dopart partmcnt to haye tho Fiess Association pi escnt w ith them lipon the occasion ol tho foi mal opening of tho Woman's building. Governor McSwoonoy responded on be halt of tile Mate and thc members of thc association, saying that it. gave them all great delight to be with the good women of the State, who had done so much to make Hit exposition a success, and with out whose work and heroic labors it would have been impossible to have held it. In conclusion be thanked tho wonn n in behalf of the StSI 0 fpr I ho grand HUI k they wero engaged In and for the cordial welcome extended by the ladios, to whom tho men owed all that was worth having in lifo. President Aull spoke lo similar effect ", Haid that every member of tho asso ion would return home with thc most pleasant associa.?ions amfcnrrv with thom und publish abroad the story of theare t work that had been accomplished, of which tho people of tho Stato had as yot no adi qa a te conception, ile also congratulated the women on tho fact that their building was tho tirst to bo completed and oponed, which, ho .aid, wan a matter of pride with every man lu South Carolina. Col. Hoyt, of Greenville, was thou called on ana made a short address, in which he endorsed tho remarks of Gov ernor Mcsweeney and President Aull, and said that the womeu of South Caro lina beat the world, and that be would advocate the expulsion of every bachelor from tho association at Us next meeting. Greenville would not have been repre sented at tho exposition at all if. it had not beou for her women, aud all honor was due them for their noble work and success in the face of so mauy obstacles. At the conclusion of the speaking Mrs. Simonds invited the visitors to partake of the dainties spread upon the tables, which were served then by the ladies of tiie reception co ni mit too and tbeirassist ants. The rofresraouts wore heartily enjoyed by o very one and at the conclu sion of this important part of the pro ceedings Mr. J. C. llcrapbill rapped for order and introduced Mrs. Andrew Si monds, Jr., chairman of tho entertain meut and reception committee. Mrs. Simonds, in a characteristically grace ful aud witty speech of welcome, said that she was glad to speak to so lino and ropresoutative body as the Press Asso ciation, whioh was always ahead tu everything that pertained to the publio good: aud its roombers might rest as sured that if tho exhibits wore not all ready that a welcome always was, and would bo, ready for thom from the women, whoso hearts wore in tho right place, ovon if nothing olso in tho build ing was. WOMAN'S WOKK. It was our pleasure boro to soe tho sights about tho grouuds in company with Mrs. J. C. Ti eil eman, who is wofl known in Walhalla, whore sho has mauy friends. Sho has been, and still is. an indefatigable worker for tho exposition, spending a groat portiou of every day with altai: s in tho Woman's building, ste takOB 'ospecial lutorost in tho day nursery, which is conducted by tho South Carolina Kindergarten Association, an extensivo notlco of which appeared lu our columns two wooks ago. At her invitation President Aull and sovoral editors visited tho two bright and sunny rooms upon tho second story at tho roar end of thu Woman's building, wboro tho babies aro comfortably caroo for while their parents aro seeing tho exposition. To such bright and enthusiastic spirits as Mrs. Tiedcman tho success of tho ex position is largely duo. ON TUB MIDWAY. Of course thoro could bo no exposition without a Midway, and boro will bo found ono of tho best. Escorted by Presidont P. W. Wagoner and tho exposition ofli cials, at 7 p. m. tho oditors and their lady friends went down tho lino and had a jolly good timo. A regular programme bad boon arrangod, starting with the Old Mill and closing at linstock's wild animal show. Tho Midway people wero anxious to please tho editorial party and tho en tertainment was ono of tho best of tho day. At the Old Mill tho visitors took many trips in the little boats, which passed in and out of thu caves, although a fow of tho ladies wero afraid to risk it. They could not bo induced to ride, but nono of tho mombors was missing wnen tho party wont .next into tho Esquimaux village. Tho Esquimaux wero put through a sorics of tricks, and tho novelty of tho entertainment appealed to tho crowd. Probably the attraction which will lcavo the moro lasting impression was tho re markable wisdom of Jim Koy, tho edu cated horse. Manager Hogers piloted tho editors to bis little theatre, and they wero amazed at tho intelligence of Jim. Scores of questions ami mathematical problems fired at tho static by thc audi - enco were answered without tho least hesitation or delay, and Jim made him self solid with every man, woman and child, who applauded bis wiso tricks. Ovor at Mr. Bostock's arena tho wild animals and tho taino ones delighted tho visitors. 'Ibero was a full programme and many of thc moro important boasts wore made to perform. Mr. Bostock has a very nico show, and it will doubtless bo seen by every visitor to the exposition, as it deserves, and tho entertainment by bis animals was a distinct pleasure. Hears, lions, boxing kangaroos and many other splendid animals showed how well and how thoroughly they had boen trained and mastered. In tho foregoing wo havo endeavored to givo our readers a brief account of what thc editors saw and tho manner of their entertainment on tho exposition grounds. Hut language is lamo in ex pressing tho beauty, variety and magni tude of this great exposition, which is just now being successfully launched. It will havo to bo seen to bo appreciated. Before tho gates closo for tho last time on tho first day of next Juno, ovcryono should sec it for himself. To multiplied thousands it will provo a revelation of tho marvelous resources of our country and tho achievements of modern science in their development for tho comfort, happiness and welfare of mankind.

Verdict of tho Schley Court of Inquiry. Washington, Dccomber 18.-Tho ver dict of tho Sohloy court of iuquiry, as I submitted by Seorotary I.ongt was made J public to-night. Thoro aro two reports, tho majority re port bein;; against Robley on nearly all counts. Tho minority roport, submitted by Admiral Dowoy, sustains Admiral Schley iu ovory particular. The counts on whioh Sohloy is conturod aro considered tcohuical and tho opinion still provails boro that he is still tho real beto of tho battle. The substauco of i tho majority report | is as follows: That Schloy dolayod in proceeding to] Cionfugos; that ho did not maintain a oloso blockade; did not communicate with tho Cubans on shore; delayed in proceeding to Santiago from Cienfuogos when is was possible to intercept tho emmy; that ho should not have delayed on acc ount of tho Eagle; should not bave made the retrograde movement to tho westward; that ho dolayod in oboyiug tho department's ordors of May 2?; did not attempt to destroy tho Spanish re-1 serve near tho cut i ance to Santiago May 20-30; did not do his utmost to destroy tho Spanish ships May 31; in making tho "loop" at Santiago ho lost distanco and position and had to atop and back his engines in order to avoid acollisiou; that be did injustice to Hodgson iu causing only a portion of their correspondence to bo published. Sohloy's conduct iu connection with tho campaign prior to Juno 21 wes characterized, tho report | says, with vacilation, dilatoriness and lack of cutorpriso, and his roport con cerning the coal supply inaccurate and misleading. Tho report concludes by saying, however, that his conduct in tho main nt thu battle of Santiago was self possessed and that ho urged tho men to tight courageously. WHAT nKWK.tr SAYS. Admiral Dewey in tho minority report says there was no delay in tho passage from Koy West to Cienfucgos; that thu blockade at Oioofuegoa was In tho main oft'ectivo; that Schloy sent tho steamer Adular into Cienfuogos harbor to locato thc Spanish fleet; that thc passage from Cienfucgos to Santiago was made with all possible baste in order to keep tho squadron together; that Schloy was com manding tho squadron at tho timo tho lleot attempted to escapo "and is abso lutely entitled to all tho credit of the glorious vistory." Dewey concludes his roport by rooom monding that tho wholo mattor bo drop ped. A Good Cough Medicine. [Gazette, Toowoomba, Australia.] I find Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is an excellent medicine.

Tho agents of the Amos Owen Cherry Trco Oomp&ny have received notices from tho company that on account of "unfriendly newspaper criticism" tho businoss would suspend for ono month in ordor to allow tho unfriendly senti ment to dio out. Tho United Statos Court in Charlotto bas found indict ments against tho concern for fraudu lent uso of tho mails and it is said that tho oflicers have fled. Tho Charlotte Observer of to day says that after hearing the evidonoo of a num ber of witnesses, tho grand jury of tho District Court yesterday found a truo bill against tho Amos Owen ChorrJ Troo Company, of Henrietta. Tho bill of in dictment was drawn by District Attornoy Holton and a postoflico inspector, and by its terms tho company, or tho parties now forming thc company, will bo tried for fraud, and also for improper uso of tho United States mails. Tho bill "presents that M. C. Pndgott, George Poteot, Allen HiggorstalY, Drewry D. Harrell, Will Dellinger and Grandi Bon Ramsey did unlawfully deviso a scheme ami artifice to defraud Miss Ida Cline, at I.awndalc, N. C., and othor per sons to tho jurors unknown, by offering to make theso persons, respectively, agents for a profit and reward and to pu rebaso of a pretended association and concern under tho name of the Amos Owen Cherry Trco Company, and by inducing thom to send and pay tbnir money respectively to tho said M. C. Padgett, George Poteot, Allon fliggor Btaff, Drewry Harrell, Will Dellingor and (.randison Ramsey for tho purpose of becoming such agents and purchasers of certain valuable cherry trees. A capias for tho men named in tho bill of indictment was Issued and given to Deputy Marshal Vance Scoggins of Kuthorfordton, who will go to Henrietta for the ?MM pose of making the arrests. District Court officials said that tho promoters of tho Cherry Trco Company had men in Charlottcc on tito lookout, and had boon informed of tho action of tho grand jury, lt is probable, then, that Mr. Scoggins will return ompty handed from Henrietta.

Mrs. Kenine maintained the calm demeanor which hus. obaracteriaod her conduct throughout the trial, and smiled approvingly when th?- jury returned its verdict Her husband threw his arme affectionately around her nook and kissed her, followed by her sons and sisters and brothers, v:lio clustered around her, em bracing ctud kissing her. Others in the court room also added their congratula tions.
