C., July 16 --The annual meeting of the Souti Carolina Press association for 1905 L now a thing of the past. the fina meeting having been held this morn ing in the rotunda of this elegani hotel, at which the committee on res olutions reported through its chair man, Mr. A. W. Knight, of che Bam berg Herald. In these resolutions which were unanimously adopted, th< -thanks of the association were ex pressed to the management of th< hotel, to the transportCationl compant jes, to Mr. S. H. Hardwick of th< Southern railroad, for his admirabi address, and to others for kindnesse on this occasion. To say that this has been one o the pleasantcest meeting of the asso ciation, will be only a simple state ment of a generally conceded fact 'The attendance of members and thei: families has been larger than for sev eral years lately, while the growt: of the association by the admissio; of .ew members has been much mar< th:.n usual. The grounds surrounding the spring and hotel have been muc1 mproved since last season, and thi hotel itself has 'been thoroughly reno vated with paint and the addition o new furniture, matting throutghou :he hallways, rngs where needed. etc The nagear of the ho: ci, Mr .m...e.t... tO;rether 'with thet en tire enr-s ofas;st an:. have Thown; desire t make the meeting agreeabl .: aie writer knows. The only < criticism that could reasonably be i, made has been on' account of the 1; waits in the dining room, but with the n crowd that has been here, that was I unavoidable at times. For instance, is on Thursday 289 persons were served e with dinner and that night consider- t ably over 300 were housed comfort- N ably. On Friday the crowd was over t 40o and that night it was necessary c to put extra beds and cots in billiard t and reading rooms. Additional wait ers have been secured and the service 1 is expected to be all that can be de sired from now on.

Lt. Gov. Sloan and Hon. M. F. An sell, both spoken of as Gubernatorial candidates were also present, and be ing called upon made interesting speeches. All the addresses were non-political, the speakers having been notified in advance to that effect. Dr. Carlisle, of \Vofford college be ing present was also called upon and made a short but most thoughtful sp..ech. the point of which was the elevation of the press to the plane that would eliminate reports of prize fights in detail and similar reading matter. He also referred to the Sun day papers as now published as being questionable. I Mr. S. H. Hardwick, of Washing ton, D. C., general passenger traffic manager of the South railroad was present by invitation, together with Col. R. W. Hunt, of Charleston, and some other of the Southern railroad officials. Mr. Hardwick's address was made at the afternoon session on Fri day and the subject was the story of the South. A considerable part of it was devoted to the proposed railroad nation n congress and the injury 'u! int"ic. tpon our sectiOl is i rl~ C~ :I, r: xtC.,< tu . : _ u:t !IE \ x.a; z cidd t spend a' week here. The pro zram ofthe association th :rcughth fr day' of ias session embraced a number of papers on interesting sub jects. and most of them were pre sented. They have been fully noted in the daily papers and will be pub lished in the minutes of the associa Mrs. Virginia Young of Farfax and Col. Bacon, of Edgefield, were here and added much to-the interest of the association by their entertaining and witty contributions. The appreciation of this place by the South Carolina Press has been shown by voting to accept the invi tion of Mr. Sheitall to come here next ear. M- -0 Immigration. I know no good reason for the ex istence of South Carolina's bureau of -immigration, unless it is for 'the pur pose of helping to solve the vexed problem of suffrage. A few of the negroes are as bad as cannibals, some are worthless, but for the most part, they are filling their places fairly well. But all of themi stand ready to wreck the government under which we live when the first 5 opportunity presents itself. There fore, the writer would be glad if our f state, and section had a majority of - good white inhabitants. - It is said that foreigners, and their .immnediate descendants, constitute 7C per cent of the population of greater New York. I hope this will never be true of our state, or of any place in 1 it. A recent New York letter informs eus that xi,ooo immigrants are to be g sent to our state during 'the next 12 i months. For a good many years e foreigners have been pouring into N. - ., and some of the middle and west ffer states, but probably these have t Ieough of this element, and now the ..s ream is to be diverted to our section. -. f immigrants are to comte at all. it - i of the utmost i:npor:ance th;at :he ahad classes be excluded. Better have nonoe than to get the wrong sort. . Ver notth assen;, whno bul ~ts laid low Garfield and 'McKinley.-V orinr' eaent.edn oreigners? We are not needing a arge inilx:c of immigrants. Not aanv years hence native South Caro- te nians will need all of the land that h s for sale in our state. But as for- g igners are bound to come, I think i ft hat Germans and Irish and other l vhite races should be preferred to at he yellow skins, on the score of col- g )r; and because they will make bet er citizens. R Nor should *hey come in colonies; e >ut should be distributed among our ! ti )eople. In this way they will be more tasily assimilated; and make better American citizens. I hope, therefore. hat in a year or two, our bureau of mmigration will be abolished. A few years ago a man frolm the lake region of New York made known his intention of making his future home in South Carolina. When he did this his neighbors tried to dis suade him, and told him that he would be taking his life in his own hands to d,- so. But he came, and saw an(i was conquered, that is. his prejudices were cnq!ered. By thrift and ener vy he has accumulated property. and now he declares that he would not return to his bleak New York home to live if it were given to him. He says that we have the best climate in the world and can make cwo crops a year on the same land. Moreover, he affirms that southerners are the best people in the world. Now, I be lieve that South Carolinians are as good as the best, but they are no better than they ought to be. So, Mr. Editor, please don't tell what this immigrant from the empire state sa;4 O. M.
