THE EDITORS' VISIT TO CLEb
SON.
We presuie that the idea of t]
Clemson college authorities in sayi
that they would entertain the Sou
Carolina Press association at th(
own expense in the event that t
editors accept the invitation to ho
their meeitng at the college, wast
keep some jackass from saying th
.they were using the college funds
entertain the editors.
And there is no reason why t
editors should not enjoy the hospit
ity of the college authorities. T
Press Association has enjoyed the h<
pitality of other communities in t
State, and nobody ever suggested tb
there was any impropriety in it. T
Press Association accepts the hos)
tality of the railroads and seems g!
to do so. It is a new .thing to ins
that the editors shall foot their bi
when they go anywhere.
The Press Association could i
meet at a more delightful place th
Clemson college. The newspaper m
would get mueh valuable informat.
by a visit there, and the college p(
ple would be delighted to have t
editors as their guests.
It is very strange that Editor Ai
should be so bitterly opposed to t
Press Association acceptincg the h<
pitality of the Clemsoi college pE
ple, while finding nothing wrong
the Association accepting the hos,
tality of the people of other comuuz
ties.-Daily Mail.
All this discu;sion of a proposed i
vitation and its :ossible acceptan
it seems to us is rather premature, b
in view of the personal reference
the editorial from the Mail to the e
itor of The Herald and News the e
itor of this paper addressed the fR
lowing letter to the Mail, in ord
that his position might be set rig
before the readers of the Mail.
As to the other matters contain4
in the deliverances of the Mail
do not care to comment except to se
that we have been to Clemson a]
know that the gentlemen who ma.
up the college community are deligh
ful and elegant gentlemen and knc
how to entertain the guests in the
midst and we believe they will appr
ciate the position we have taken.
The following letter to the Dai
Mail explains more fully our positio
As we' have said the Association es
do as it pleases. We shall make2
effort to influence it one way or t
.other except to express our individu
opinion having at all times due r
gard for the opinions of others ar
giving them credit for sincerity:
* Editor Dail Mail: I confess to son
surprise and disappointment on rea
ing the following paragraph in yoi
issue of Saturday afternoon for
have always regar<ed the Mail
fair and just in its criticisms ar
comments and the assertion that
am "bitterly opposed'' to the Pre
Association accepting an invitati<
from Clemson college is so far fro
anything I have ever said or writte
that I can scarcely conceive of t]
Mail making it and that too withoi
/publishing what I did say:
"It is very strange that Edits
Aull should be so bitterly opposed1
the Press Association accepting ti
hospitality of the Clemson colles
people, while finding nothing wror
in the Association accepting'the ho
pit?ality of the people of other cot
munities.'
I regret that this matter has he4
discussedt in the newspapers in ti
spirit in whichi it has been. So fa
as I am concerned I am not antagom
tic to Clemson college and on the Co
trary have demonstrated my intere
and faith in the institution by sen

a tui.tion paying.. pupil, and tl
grea.test regret of my life is that ei
cumstances were such that I was for
ed to withdraw him. That is; mo:
than some of those have done who aa
thigh in authority with the collet
and who have sons to educate.
As to this invitation to the Pre
Association, some days ago there a)
peared a news item in practically
of the daily newspapers of this Sta;
that the Press Association wouldI
invited to hold the convention of 19]
at Clemson. as the guests of the inst
tution, and the authorities would ps
the Cost of entertainment out of the
own pockets. The statement w:
made in the same connection that th
invitation would be extended in vie
.of .the criticisms that had been ma<
'o h oll11e with a view of permi
'ile Voilditil ll at IeIsIIi . I . otI Ler
\vol'dS, tle Press Associatioli was to
aet .s; a sort (of investigating collilit
tee. 'i Io ,it know ]I,\V other s imay
feel hat so far a's I am concerned I
did not thinik it was proper for the
Press Association to go to Clemson
in that capacity, or with t-hat as a
reason for going. and at the same time
be the guests of the authorities and
permit th eir expenses to be paid out
iof the pockets of the authorities.
e,That is all there is to what I said. It
t is true we accepted the hospitality ot
ir the citizens of Gaffney and were their
ie guests last year and had a most de
Id liglitful meeting. We will have cer
t tain courtesies extended at Greenville
t but we were not at a State instita
t tion at Gaffney in view of certain crit
icisms which had been made of the
he institution and for the purpose of as
certaining the facts about the insti
he tution; nor will be in that attitude
at the Greenville meeting. There
he seems to me to be a difference. And
(at while the Gaffney people literally en
he tertained us at the Limestone college
he Ze
and did it most admirably and. td the
d satisfaction of all the members and
ist we have a pleasant memory of that
11 meeting which will last, it is the feel
ing of most. of the members with
ot whom I have talked that they would
an prefer to meet in some resort hotel
en and pay their bill.
on I have a letter from President Mell
- extending an invitation to the Asso
;he ciation to come over from Greenville
and spend an afternoon at the college
qll during our convention in July, and
he I have written him that I would take
s. pleasure in presenting the invitation
o- at the first session, and, in fact, if it
in does not interfere with any arrange
)i- ments which have been made in
. Greenville and is agreeable to the
Greenville people I expect to arrange
that as a part of our program. I have
written the Greenville people to that
ce effect, and also to Dr. Mell.
I have written more than I intend
i ed but I trust that you will find space
d- for it in your paper because you have
d- placed me, unintentionally I know, in
a wrong attitude before your readers.
I am not bitterly opposed to the Press
er Association going to Clemson, but I
ht am opposed to it going there as the
guests of the authorities if the condi
d tion of the going is in view of the
v criticisms which have been made of
the institution and t.he purpose being
that the Association might learn the
d truth of the institution and then
e write of it. In other words these an
*t- nual meetings, as I understand them,
are not for the purpose of investigata
.ing conditions at State insttiutions,
irand if they are to be made such, then
e- the Association on that trip should
not aceept the 'hospitality of the au
l thorities, nor permit the authorities
.to pay the expense of the entertain
ment out of .their pockets. That is
mall there is to it.
10 I would not be misunderstood. This
ie is all a matter for the Association
al and what I am saying .here and what
e_ I have said in The Herald and News
is only my individual opinion, and I
iwould not assume to speak for the
Press Association, nor will I under
take to influence the Association one
ie way or the other.- It can do as it
d- pleases and I will be satisfied.
