THF: STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION. The twenty-seveuth annual session of the South Carolina State PresH As sociation was held at (J leno Springs on Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday of last wc .k, and it waa one of the largest and most interesting meetings that has been held iu a number of years. I* rom the opening to the close there was not a dull moment in its procecdiogs, and fpw members who failed to utteud missed a royal treat. Thcfmcctiogs were held in one of thc spacious parlors of the hotel, and at the first session-Dr. (Jeorgc M. Cro oner, President of Newberry College, in behalf of thc Messrs. Simpson, pro prietors of thc hotel, delivered a most cordial and eloquent address of wel come to thc press gang, which was rc eponded to by-President Aull and Mr. H. M. Ayer, in behalf of thc Associa tion. Wednesday morning the Associa tion convened, and after hearing the reports of thc officers and the trans action of some miscellaneous business, President Aull announced that ex Congressman J. J. 11 em phill, of Ches ter, who was spending awhile at the Springs, had honored our meeting with his presence and called upon him to talk to thc editors. Mr. Hemphill responded promptly, and for twenty minutes ogmore entertained the As sociation with some very interesting and practical remarks. Thc Associa tion then got down to business in ear nest, and held three sessions that day and the day following, adjourning Thursday night subject to the call of the President. A most interesting programme had been arranged for this meeting, and nearly all thc members who had been appointed to prepare and read papers on the subjects assigned them carno well prepared to perform their duty. There wero many guests at the hotel and they vere invited to attend our ! meetings and hear tbo subjeots dis- ] cussed by our members. These guests manifested a deep interest in our pro- j oeedinga, and especially in tho interest ing papers read before the Associa- | tion. Tho subjects of tho papers brought out other topics of interest to the journalists, each of whom received new and practical ideas of our profes sion from the experience of our fel low-workers. Wednesday evening had been set apart by the genial proprietors of thu hotol for the opening ball of the sea son, and at the conclusion of tho sos sion of thc Association the members approached the beautifully docoratod ball room, and those who did not par ticipate in tho merry dance viewed thc many gallant beaux, and charming belles as they kept step with thc en chanting music from tho orchestra. On Thursday tho sessions were equally as interesting as those of the preceding, and muoh business was transacted. The Association had two pressing invitations for the next an nual meeting, one of which was from the municipal authorities and the Board of Trade of Georgetown, which waa accepted. The old officers wore re-elected to serve another year, as follows: President, E. H. Amil; vice Presidents, J. L. Stoppolboin and J. L. Sims; Chaplain, Rev. W. P. Jacobs; D. D.; Sooretary, C. C. Langston; Treasurer, August Kobo; Executive Committee, M. B. McSweoncy, J. A. Hoyt, sr., and Louis Appelt. Tbo closing feature cf this most in teresting meeting was the banquet Thursday night, given by the Messrs. Simpson complimentary to the Press Association, and it was, beyond a doubt, the grandest and most sump tuous it was ever our good fortune to participate in. It was 10.30 o'clock when thc doors of tho spacious dining hall were thrown open, and as thc guests marched in thc orchestra played Dixie. Thc hall was festooned with red, whito and blue, and a beautiful line of silver candelabra holding pink candles gleamed down the lengthy table, and silver and crystal bowls of roses and other swoet flowers were set between them. An elaborate menu was served in fine stylo, and it was relished and greatly enjoyed by the editors and other guests. President Anil presided in his usual happy man ner, and the toasts were responded to most eloquently and interestingly. Glenn Springs-, as is well known, is the oldest watering resort in South Carolina. For nearly a century the people have been going there and drinking tho hcalth-giviog waters that flow f rom the large spr" aga. Of course, many improvements have been added in recent years, and thc springs are now acceeaiblo by a railroad from Spartanburg, owned and operated . y tho Glenn Springs Company. To-day it is a most dcljg visited every summer by thousands who are greatly benelited by drinking its waters. The mammoth hotel sits on an hill and from its broad, long piazzas a grand view is presented to thc guests. Surrounded by beautiful drives and walks, well shaded by mag nificent groves of native oaks, makes it not only a health resort, but a place of rest, recreation and pleasure. The hotel is lilted up with electric bells, water works and the latest improved sanitary arrangements on the first and second floors. The rooms are large and well ventilated. The Messrs. Simpson and their three clerks under stand their business and look closely after the comfort of their guests. It is a pleasure to be their guest, and if you visit there once you will surely no back again. We know it will I?'* DO trouble to get the members of the I'ress Association to go back there again. The unbounded hospitality and kind attention of thc Messrs. Simpson will long be remembered by our entire party, all of whom regretted that our stay there could not bc prolonged. On Friday morning the members of the Association bade adieu to our ge nial hosts, and a few of them went to Spartanburg to spend the day. A large party, however, embarked in car riages provided for them by Messrs. J. T. Harris and A. ll. Calvert, who are now developing the Whito Stone Li thia Springs, about live miles dis tant from Glenn's. Here the members were met by a large party of ladies and gentlemen from Spartanburg and and a most enjoyable day was spent. A sumptuous picnic dinner was in dulged jn, and in the afternoon the party drove to Spartanburg and joir id the others of the press gaug /ho had gouc '.herc in the morning. That evening a reception was tendered the Association at Glendale, a beautiful park five miles from thc city and the terminus of Spartanburg's excellent electrical systom. During the stay in Spartanburg tho members were the guests of the city, making our head quarters at the Windsor Hotel. Thus ended thc '27th annual meeting of our Association, and we know we speak the sentiment of every member and the ladies who accompanied them that it was one of tho most enjoyable meet ings in tho history of the organization. On Tuesday, 23rd inst., we will re assemble in Columbia and start for the Pan-American Exposition at Buf falo, N. Y. This trip, of course, is looked forward to with the most pleas ant anticipations. Tho National Good Roads Associa tion is soon to oonduot a series of ex periments in Mississippi in an en deavor to make a praotical demonstra tion of the advantages to be gained by tho construction of better roads in the rural districts and to awaken a general interest in good roads throughout the State and the entire South. Mr. J. F. Richardson, the genial business manager of the Greenville Nc ic s and one of the most progressive and enterprising citizens of the "Mountain City," has been appoint ed Postmaster of Greenville. Mr. Richardson is a true blue Democrat and -is eminently qualified for the position. Wo extend our congratula tions to friend Richardson aud to the citizens of Greenville. Corner Creek News. Tho annual picnic nt /.arline Island takes place on Saturday, 27th inst. The following distinguished gentle men will be present to address the crowd on that day : Senator John L. MoLaurin, of Bonnottsville; J. L. Tribblo, of Anderson; M. F. Ansel and Prof. J. J. McSwain, of Greenville, and Citizen Joshua W. Ashley, of Honea Path. The fanners will be throngh work by that date and, of course, a large crowd will be there. It will be a time for the "dear voters" to hear the distinguished orator and brainy Sena tor-McLaurin- a man who has been unjustly criticised in the past few months by a few "bullies" like Ben Tillman. But McLaurin is getting good hearings wherever he speaks, and no doubt a largo crowd will be in at tendance nt old Zarline, a very lovely place for a picnic. Don't forget the date-July 27th. Como one, come all ! Mr. Aurrie W.

Shoe Sales SEEK SUMMER STIMULANTS, WE don't propose lo hold Sunday School during the week, nor to open a sleeping joint at our place during the dull teaeon this Summer. We havn't slept a little bit since Sept 1st, bi t have kt pt things howling at a lively clip, and as a result we have doubled our business of last year, as evidenced by our salea-book. Now, we defy the dullness of Sommer, and in making a new recoid propose to make ooe that can't be beat without hustling. Our Goods are all paid for, and are OHM to do with just as we see fit. So, just to liven up the sleeping animals a bit we will throw pur entire Stock of newly arrived- ' Summer Slioes On the market at prices that will make our unfortunate competitors foam at the mouth. We are sorry for them, but foaming is mighty good for some folk G. They're powerful good and pretty, (the Shoes, we mean,) but they've got to go. We can't bear to be so lonesome during these hot months, and if wo can't swell the crowds at our counters one way* we'll do it another. When we say that our Shoes are of the best quality, those who have traded with us the longest know that they are up to the standard. This is the Store you've heard so much about-that you can trade with us safely, even with your eyes shut. Don't forget that we are the largest distributors of COEN, HAY, FLOUE, TOBACCO, And everything else people and horses eat. If it isn't here it isn't anywhere. DEAN & RATLIFFE.

MoCormiok Mowers have the lightest draft, the amplest gearing, th? longest and strongest pitmans, widest and strongest frames, largest wheels and the most excellent and line Cutter Bars of any Mowers on the market. There is iot a point in the mechanism of these excellent Mowers in which any err-, ft can fail to appreciate their superiority. In case you oomo in contact with stumps or other obstructions tho Cutter -Bars of these Mowers can be raised by a simple pressure of the trip with the foot or a pull of t*? lever with the hand, without stopping to throw the ma chine out bf gear ; af tor passing such obstruction simply drop the Cutter Bar with thc Lever and the machine is automotically thrown baok into gear and continues to cut as before This is only one of the many good features of thc McCormick. Wo invite you to let us demonstrate some of the many others to yon, and we wish to impress upon you the fact that there is 00 Mower on the market that will requiro as few repairs as tho matchless MoCormiok.
