THE STATE PRESS ASSOCIATION. Thc thirteenth annual session of the South Carolina State Press Associa tion was held at White Stone Litbia Springs, Spartanburg County, on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week, and it was one of the most interesting and enjoyable meetings in the history of the organization. Those of 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 Wednesday morn ing Capt. Chas. Petty, the veteran editor of the Caroiina Spartau, of Spartanburg. in behalf of our clever hosts, Mr. J. T. Harris, proprietor of White Stone Springs, and Mr. A. Stan ley Sanford, the lessee and manager of the magnificent hotel, delivered a most cordial and interesting address of welcome, which was fittingly respond ed to by Col. E. H. Aull, President, in behalf of the Association. A very interesting programme had been arranged for this meeting, and nearly all the members who had been appointed to prepare and 'read papers on the subjects assigned them came well prepared to perform their duty. The subjects of the papers brought out other topics of interest to the journalists, each of whom received new and practical ideas of our profession from the experience of our fellow workers. After the welcome meeting the offi cers submitted their reports, and the Association got down to business in earnest. Two and three sessions were held each day. The guests at the hotel were invited to attend our meetings,and they manifested a deep interest in our proceedings, especially in tho inter esting papers read before the Associa tion and the discussions that followed. The annual address at this meeting waB delivered on Wednesday evening by Hon. John Temple Graves, editor of the Atlanta (Ga.) News, whoso sub ject was "The Press of Amerioa." His address was a most praotical and eloquent exposition of tho principles of journalism, of the great work, tho responsibilities and duties of the edi tor, and no doubt made a lasting im pression on the mind of every one present. At the oonolusion of our session Thursday at noon a representative committee from the Chamber of Com merce at Union, S.C., came over to White Stone and took our entire par ty in a special train to their progres sive city a few milos distant. At the depot we were met by a large orowd of the citizens with carriages, and enjoy ed a most pleasant drive through the principal streets, viewing the beauti ful homes and other points of inter est. At the conclusion of the drive we were escorted into the handsomely equipped suite of rooms of the Clover Club, where we were served with deli cious refreshments and listened to some sweet muoio. Souvenir invita tions, gilt edged and unique, next car ried us to the handsome store of the Union Drug Co., where icc oream, de licious soft drinks, etc., were served to all. Mr. Allen Nioholsoo, editor and proprietor of the Union Progress, presented eaoh visitor with an auto matic fan and a copy of his paper of the 13th inst., giving a graphic and illustrated description of Union and facts about its wonderful growth and development during the last twelve years. It was nearly 8 o'clock when we boarded the train for the return trip to White Stone, which was made with the pleasant memories of a most enjoyable afternoon in the pretty oity, and with the courtly men and lovely women who had given us such a cor dial welcome and who had treated us BO cleverly. One of the most enjoyable features of the meeting was the banquet on Thursday evening, given by Messrs. Harris and Stanford complimentary to the Press Association and a few in vited guests. It was 10.3G o'clock when the doors of the spaoious dining hall were thrown open, and for the next three hours every editor, espe cially, forgot the hardships of this life. An elaborate menu was served in fine style, and it was greatly en joyed by the 100 of more ladies and gentlemen present. President Aull presided in his usual happy manner The following were the toasts: , "The State of South Carolina," by Lieutenant-Governor Sloan; "Oar As sociation," by President Elbert H. Aull; "Our Hosts," by August Koho; "The Press," by Jno. M. Knight; "Woman," J. Ed. Norment. The speeches were generally in a happy vein and were well received. Oo Friday morning the Association hold its final "meeting and adjourned at noon subject to the cali of the President. All of the old officers were re-elected to serve tho ensuing year, as follows: President, E. H. Aul): \ ii*c Pr?sidents, Iv. ll. he? I (.'amp and X. Christensen; Jr. : Chap- I lain. licv. \V. J'. .Jacob-, 1>. 1?. Sec retary. C. C. Langdton; Treasurer, August Kohn, Kxeeutive Cutnuiittec, J. E. Normeut, J. M. Knight and J. W. Ragsdale. The Association had two pressing invitations for ?he next annual meet ing, one from Union and one from our hosts, Mesnrs. Harris and Stanford. The invitation from the latter gentle men was accepted, and, for the third time we will hold our anuual meeting next year at White Stone. The unbounded hospitality and kind attention of Messrs. Harris and Stan ford and their assistants will long bc remembered by our entire party, all of whom regretted that our blay could not be prolonged. White Stone Springs hotel is one resort that inu.-t be seen to be appr? ci?t'<1. More than a half century ago there was local interest in thc curative properties of the water, and every Summer number.", of people from the surrounding country went there and camped for weeks, but there was no thought of inviting others from a dis tance to partake of thc bcueGts flow ing from nature's fountain in great abundance. All this is now changed, and in the la?t two years wonders have been wrought, until White Stone has become celebrated in all parts of the United States. Mr. Harris, the wizard of health resorts in this part of the country, seems to have au intui tion for the development of neglected springs. His work at White Stone is marvelous, and ho is just fairly begin-, ning to unfold and bring to perfection the plans he has in view to make it an attractive Summer and Winter resort. Nestled among the hills between the Paoolct and Enoree he has found an ideal spot for tho fulfillment of his purposes. Tho mammoth hotel sits on a hill, and from its broad, long piazzas a grand view is presented to the gueBts. The building is three stories io height, contains more than two hundred rooms, aud in the centre is the largest kind of a rotunda, whose circle on eaoh 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 location on the ground of ventila tion. The hotel is lighted with electricity throughout, is fitted up with electric bells, water works and the latest improved sanitary arrange ments, and in Winter is supplied with steam heat. The dining room will seat 300 people, and on the third floor is a ball room of like dimensions, which has more than a hundred incan descent lights grouped most artisti cally in the ceiling. The hotel is sur rounded with a remarkable variety of beautiful trees, and at night the grounds are brilliantly lighted by electric lights, presenting a lovely scene. Nature seems to have not only mado it a health resort, but also a place of rest, recreation and pleasure. The Bpring is in the ravine and is encased in a lovely marble basin, with a heavy, attractive, oircular rook foun dation about four feet high, the spring being in the oentre of this elevation. Over all this rises a beautiful rusti? frame structure with posto of cedar altogether a very handsome spring house. A club house, billiard rooms, bowling alley s sd lennis grounds near the spring diversifies the enjoyment of the visitors and renders more attrac tive their sojourn. An interesting plaoe to visit i& the bottling workB, situated a short dis tance south of the spring. Tho wa ter runs through a pipe direct to the building, where a large foroe of bauds is engaged preparing it for shipment. The water is shipped in carboys and in crates of hair gallon, quart and pint bottles, the latter being ginger ale or carbonated soda water of differ ent flavors. Mr. Harria is a persis tent and suooossful advertiser, and is 'shipping about a oar 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 o: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. The spring is about two miles from the station, and Mr. Harris has an electric oar line from the hotel to the station. A fine orohestra of accomplished musicians is employed at tho hotel and renders sweet music at intervals during day and night. This, of course, is highly enjoyed by the guosts. Mr. Stanford, th*, new manager of the hotel, is a native of Virginia, but has long been connected with one of the leading hotels in Philadelphia, and his experience and genial disposi tion eminently fits him for the man agement of guoh a commodious and magnificent hostelry. He is ably as sisted io his offico by Messrs. John Fox, ohief clerk, Robert Cason and James Hyson, assistants. All these courteous gentlemen understand their business, and look closely after the comfort of their guests. It is indeed a great pleasure to visit White Stono. If you contemplate visiting a resort for either health, recreation or pleas ure, take our advice and go to White Stone Lithia Springs. If you visit there Once you will surely go back again. - I'res?dcnt licnjainin K.
