The Press Association.
Whie tone Springs. S. 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.
The banquet given last night by the
hotel management. complimentary to 1
the Association and their families and
riends and for which 3oo covert -::ere
laid. was an elegant one and? was well 1
served.

Speaker of the Hous of Represen
tative-. and who is spoken 01 as a

the leading speaker and made an ad
mirable and patrieic address, based

,n the l'eclaration of Independence.
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

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

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

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
