THE STATE PBESS ASSOCIATION. The twenty-ninth annual session of the South Carolina State Press Asso ciation waa held at White Stone Litbia Springs, Spartanburg County, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, and it was one of the larg est and most interesting meetings of the organization in a number of years. From the opening to the close there were not many dull moments in its proceedings, and the members who failed to attend missed a royal treat. The meetings were held in one of the spacious parlors of the hotel, and at the first session Senator D. E. Hy ?Vick, of Spartanburg, on behalf of our genial host, Mr. Jas. T. Harris, proprietor of White Stone, delivered a most cordial and ?loquent address of welcome to the Association, which waB fittingly and eloquently responded to on tho part of the members by Sen ator J. W. Ragsdale, of the Florence Advooate. A most interesting programme had been arranged for this meeting, and nearly all the members who had been appointed to prepare and read papera on the subjects assigned them came well prepared to perform their duty. The subjeots of the papers brought out other topics of interest to the journalists, each of whom reoeived new and practical ideas of our profes sion from the experience of our fel low-workers. Wednesday morning the Associa tion oonvened, and after hearing the addrooQ of welcome and the reporta of the officers, got down to business in earnest. Three sessions were held that day, two on Thursday and two on Friday. There were many guests at the hotel, and they were invited to attend the meetings. These guests manifested a deep interest in our pro ceedings, and eapeoially in the inter esting papers read before the Associa tion, and the discussions that followed. At the afternoon session on Thurs day a memorial meeting was held in honor of the late N. G. Gonzales, edi tor of The State, who was a devoted and valued member of the Associa tion. Beautifnl tributes were paid tc the deceased editor by a number of the members. The annual address at this meeting was delivered by Col. Jos. F. Cald well, editor of the Charlotte, (N. C.) Observer, whose subject was, "The Newspaper and the Editor." His ad dress waB a most praotical and elo quent exposition of the principles of journalism and of the responsibilities and duties of the editor, and no doubt made a lasting impression on the mind of every enc present. One of the most interesting and enjoyable features of tho meeting was the banquet on Thursday evening, given by Mr. Harris complimentary to the Press Association, and to which all the guests of the hotel were in vited. It was 9.30 o'clock when tho doors of tho spacious dining.hall were thrown open, and for the next four hours every editor, ospooially, forgot the hardships of this life. An elabo rate menu was served in fine style, and it was relished and greatly enjoy ed by the 300 ladies and gentlemen present. President Aull presided in his usual happy manner, and the toasts were responded to most elo quently and interestingly. On Friday the sessions were equally as interesting as those of tho preced ing days, and much business was transaoted. The Association had two pressing invitations for the next an nual meeting, one from Greenville and one from Cheraw. Our host, Mr. Harris, also extended ao invitation to meet at the Spring again next year. When the vote was taken it was found that it was almost unanimous in favor of White Stone. Mr. Harris thanked the members for the compliment whioh they had paid him in deciding to come back there, and told just a few of the many things that he ezpeoted to have ready for our enjoyment nest year. The following officers were elected to .-arve the ensuing year : President, E. H. Anil ; Vice Presidents, E. H. DeCamp and N. Christensen, Jr. ; Chaplain, Bev. W. P. Jaoobs, D. D. ; Seoretary, U. C. Langston ; Treasurer, August Kohn ; Exeoutive Committee, J. E. NorineDt, J. M. Knight and J. W. Ragsdale. Late Friday afternoon the Associa tion oonoluded its business and ad journed, subject to the eal! of the President. Thus ended the 29th an nual meeting of the Association, and we know we apeak the sentiment of every member and the ladies who ac companied them that it waa ono of the most enjoyable meetings in the histo ry of the organisation. Tho unbound ed hospitality and kind attention of Ile. Harris and his assistants will long he remembered by our entire par ty, all of whom regretted that our stay could not bc prolonged. A fine orchestra of accomplished musicians is employed at tho hotel and reuders sweet musio at intervals during day and night. This, of course, is highly enjoyed by the guests. White Stone Springs hotel is one resort that must be seen to be appre ciated. More than a half oentury ago there waa local interest in the cu rative properties of the water, und every Summer numbera of people from the surrounding country went there and camped for weeks, but there was no thought of inviting others from a distance to partake of the ben efits flowing from nature's fountain in great abundance. All this is now changed, and in the last two years wonders havo been wrought, until White Stone has become celebrated in all parts of tho United States. Mr. Harris, the wizard of health resorts in this part of the country, seems to have an intuition for the development of negleotod springs. His work at White Stone is marvellous, and he is just fairly beginning to unfold and bring to perfection the plans he has in view to make it an attractive Sum mer and Winter resort. Nestled among the hills between the Paoolet and Enoreo he has found an ideal spot for the fulfillment of his purposes. The mammoth hotel sits on an hill, and from its broad, long piazzas a grand view is presented to the guests. The building is three stories in height, contains more than two hundred rooms, and in the oentre is the largest kind of a rotunda, whose cirole on each floor will accommodate hundreds of spectators. Every room in the house is on the outside, and not a single guest can ask for a change of looation on the ground of ventilation. The hotel is lighted with electricity throughout, is fitted up with electric bolls, water works and the latest im proved sanitary arrangements, and in Winter is supplied with steam heat. The dining room will seat 300 people, and on the third floor ia a ball room of like dimensions, whian has more than A hundred incandescent lights grouped most artistically in the ceiling. The hotel is surrounded with a remarkable variety of beautiful trees. The grounds are as yet in an unfinished state, but work on them is going steadily on, and they will soon be the pink of per fection and beauty. Nature seems to have not only made it a health resort, but also a place af rest, recreation and pleasure. The spring is in the ravine and is encased in a lovely marble basin, with a heavy, attractive, oiroular rook foun dation about four feet high, the spring being jn the oentre of this elevation. Over all this rises a beautiful rustic frame structure with roste of cedar altogether ?? ?e; j handsome spring house. A olub house, billiard rooms, howling alloy and tennis grounds near the spring diversifies the enjoyment of the visitora and renders more attrac tive their sojourn. An interesting place to visit is the bottling works, situated a short dis tance south of the spring. The wa ter runs through a pipe direct to the building, where a large force of hands is engaged preparing it for shipment. The water is shipped in oarboys and in crates of half gallon, quart and pint bottles, the latter being ginger alo or carbonated soda water of differ ent flavors. Mr. Harris is a persis tent and successful advertiser, and is shipping about a car load of his water every day, which speaks volumes for its merits, as the water has been on the market only two seasons. The spring is eight miles from the M ty of Spartanburg, on the Asheville and Columbia division of the South ern Railway. The station was former ly known as Rich Hill, but is now called White Stone. Thc spring is about two miles from tho station, and Mr. Harris has built an eleotrio car line from the hotel to the station. This line is projected for a conneotion to Spartanbnrg. Mr. Harris and his courteous assis tants understand their business and look closely after the oomfort of their guests, lt is a pleasure to be their guest, and ?f you visit there onoe you will surely go baok ag??in.~ Farmer?
