THE TIME ditor was highly complimented o1 tis paper, by the association request ng all of the newspapers in the Stat o publish it after it appears in th )rinted minutes. The event of events came off in th Ivening. The opera house wa rowded to greet Hon.

It was our first experience a set banquet. graced with ladies Ye used to think that such a thins Vas impossible. but now we knov. >etter: all things are possible witl cewberrians. The banquet was elightful affair: chamrpagne riowet reer than water, all seemed to real ze that the water works were no: ompleted, and yet every man wa: ble to go down stairs, although ont f the editors had to explain his pe uliar way of reaching the foot of tht tairs, as those who saw him g lown thought he was putting ox ome new fangled touches and wert ather amazed at the spread eagl tvle of this Knight of the ,quill Vhen the banquet was over an im >romptu ball was given by the youns nen in honor of some visiting ladies ud here there was joy, beauty ant ~allantry combined. We niotice< hat veryv few of the editors did mucl lancing~: the writer having laic .side that pleasure many years ago cas af?'aid that his awkwardnes rould stir up the champagne he hat runk and with the mixture. h< gould not be able to keel) time to thi ascinating two-step walt, bul vould forget himself and go baick t< he old-fashioned glide, so lie con luded that it was more grcu l t< tand up in a corner wahiisperin; retty compliments to ai charmin: irl than to have himself pxcked ul rom the center of a wa i-po11liel loor. We would not objet 1lidin lown a stair-case, because we couki eli people "that was our usual wa' f coming down stairs,"~ but to be aid out in the middle of a dancini. loor would have bursted our sus ender buttons, hence we tool he proper precautions and clung ti he charming girl at the risk of hei earning the truth after we took oui lep~arture from the city.

Our readers are no doubt looking for something from our recent trip with the State Press Association and although it is difficult to make a be ginning, we will endeavor to gratify them with a glimpse into some of the 1 sights it was our good fortune to bei hold. We left home Monday morning, the 24th ult., spent that day in Columbiat and on the morning of the next day, after considerable pleading was en abled to furnish THE TIMES with the glad tidings of John L. McLaurin's appointment to the United States Senate in advance of any other paper; thus it will be seen that we went on to Newberry with a lightt heart and feeling kindly towards all mankind; for Governor Ellerbe could not have made a better selection ande one more popular with the masses,a and aside from the p~ersonal relations( existing between the editor of THEC TIMEs and the appointee, we have no hesirency in predicting that the ap-: pointment will be endorsed by notr less than 20,000 majority, at the com-e ing primary. On arriving at Newberry we were t met by a committee of citizens, head-c ed b: Miayor HI. H. Evans, and to say we were received with open armsc would but feebly express the recep-r tion accorded us. That feeling whichi usually comes over one when he en- 1 ters upon a strange community was I dispelled like a mist before a July sun the moment we heard the cry of 'Marv'' and entered the carriages to go to our respective homes. Yes,. tomes, in the broadest term, can be applied to the quarters assigned to 1 the press gang, and as for us, we sun-t ply had all that heart could wish for. It was our good fortune to be the I guest of an old friend, Col. Cole L. Blesse, one of New berry's most bril liant lawyers, and one who has dis tinguished himself in his profession as well as in public life. He, to gether with his most lovable wife, were very solicitious that nothing should be left undone to make our: stay with them an inducement to return again: they succeeded so wellj that we know our eyes will be longi ingly turned in that direction every time a spirit of loneliness comes o-;er us, and we fear that our craving will be so great that we will be unabie to resist the temptation of again bask ing in the sunshine of their op~en hearted generosity and hospital ityv.I liThe city of Newberry has an air about it which seems to lay hold ot j those who enter its gates, for, before we had been there a whole day ai spirit of activity struck us, so that , we could go bounding up the city hall stairs three steps at a time and .l land in Mayor Evans' office every pop. His Honor the mayor was al ways ready to do the " honors and tile boys seemed delighted in receiy iug the "honors"~ through his Honor the mayor. who administers over one of the inost progressive townls im South Carolina; one has only to !ook about him and see the push, titt and energy to know that such a own cannot be held back. Thestet are well laid out and there are mny very elegant residences, which4 is but another sign of the progroire s)irit. Just at this timie they. are puttng in the most moderni -sy-tem of wvater works and recentlyihe completed a magnilleent electrice light plant. True, like every w iere else, 3ewberry has its eroakers, andi i thing~s were left to them, that place would be a eroes road village, but it is not left to them. There is a ma jority who beclieve that it pays to grow. regardless of expense and_ they work with willing hearts, with a ina .N ew errian at t lie head of the a press of South1 Carolina, hie turned r and from belind a tree was handed 3 hita beautiful silver service and 0 this he presented in behalf of the as sociation, to President E. 11. Aull. The specl w\as ingenious, for up to the t une the silver was placed before 1- i1 he dill no(8 ilve the slihtest ini - iniatio~n tf what wa':s com1n, nor): didl IPres ienltt Alull have the slighest sp s icioni ot anythingii of the sort. lie was so surprised and affected that he could hardly make a fittin, re 'p tnse: it was neeiidless for him to have said a wvord. as his works in be hal f of the associat ion have sounded out his liraises in truimpet tones.

Aull. and the day is -not far' distant when what We say Swill be recognizsed and such a call will 1-t iniade for hiim to public service that his modesty will be laid aside i and he will enter into the councils of 1 State. After the dinner the party re-en f tered the carriages and were driven about the town to see the places of s interest, one of which was Newberry college. This institution has inade a i record in this State that when allud ed to by Newberrians one can detect i the eves sparkling with delight. I s They have every reason to feel proud < r for its work is felt all over the State: - in the nation also, can its marks be found. The grounds are pretty and i the buildings large, airy and substan - tial. With such an institution of a learning and with such an atmos phere of activity, together with such warin-hearted citizens. no wonder that Ncvberry bids fair to make her s self one of the most important cities I in the State. The ride around town - was enjoyed. The streets are not only well laid out, but beautifully r shaded and the many pretty houses, together with the many objects of - historical interest gave all of us much .pleasure. When the ride was con-t eluded, and we thought the time had t coie for a little rest from these un accustomed attentions, we may say t ovations, for that is what they were, C here came along handsome Camp e IDavis, and to his palatial residence t did he take five of "we fellers" who I are accustomed to grinding out our I 1 existence on a hard chair ora cracker box, and after introducing us to his interesting family he showed us his g hoiie. Home, do we say'' Palace r - would be more appropriate, if mag- f nilicent walls, highly polished hard a wood furnishings and no two rooms " alike were all--one n:ahogany,another 8 . walnut, then oak, cherry, etc., and each e highly polished and hand carved by mas- C ters. Mr. ravis is an architect by profes- a sion and he did his own work-it is the l most magnitieent interior we have ever : seen in th - State, but with all this magniti- b cence. that which makes it a home instead c of a palace is the happiness within the d wals of this mansion. Mrs. Davis, a very b prctty lady, the wife of our host. presides l lover all th:s grandeur with a simplicity and queenly grace that one is immediately im pressed by it. Besides. when one locks r into the beaming faces of the little Davises, d whom we saw on the elaborately carved e stairway and w'itnessed their gleeful caper- t ings we at once said that with such a fami- I Ily as its inmates, a palace is even made a ~ home. AMter showing us through we halted 3 in the dining room and partook of some b :refreshmaents, and at least one of the five b >hd1 afulty recollection of how many corks 9 u- h ierd pop. Then a little later one dis- r >' tiushed memuber of the party and a 9 ,- in alk .o oue of the party, were seen on V a -sre corneor ad overheard trying to fix h amp of the city so they could tind their a way to their respective abodes. M~r. A. C. l( Jlsa comarcial traveller well known 'I here, and who gave his heart and hand in c assisttig to entertain us, happened to over tea~r the discussion and came to the rescue I and got the boys right. That night all of Newberry and many 0 crom ne:ghboring towns turned oat to the a greatest of social evcnts-the ball. TIhe 'I >rahouse was laid with a beautifel floor e and the dancing was kept up to a late hour. 1H The costumes worn hy the ladies were not c only beautiful, but they would have done c ceedit to the most fashionable society affairs e it tie tion's5 Capitol, W~ashingtonl, where c -iashion reigus supremue. It would not do 1H - or us to pass this point without saying o i 'hait Newberry has beautiful women; they i: !are not only beautifal in face and form, but o . hey are queens of grace and lovely man- o .ners. Atuong those it was our good for- C . tune to meet, and wve met nearly all, we I faild to find a silly', giggling, prattling C .;i, but wCe caue in contact with womn bf whoit would graice the home of a man and I honor and enuoble him with her associa-t tion. tI luaa morning, our lhst in Newberry, s was sp.ent in a short business session, in t< which a:1 of the old officers were re-elected It and otheur business niutters arranged. The 0 coititee on resolutions, through its chair- o manl, thke writer. offered a set of resolutions expeingi our thanks for the hospitalityf I\xtende by the citiz.-ns of Newberrv. L Iihese reo:tions were ordL red printed on f wi.te sat~in anid tramned and then presented f: -to -\lavo Evarns to be plaeed in the archives C 4 f the city council. Mlayor Evans v-ery 1 *rcefu1.y ind feelingly accepted the testi- o m.onial fom. the association.

In the hurried examination we athered that the mill has a capital stock f S15O,000 and it will be increased; the ala'ity being too small for the increasine aim. The sheetiigs turned out are of x:cei:Ct quality and rcay sale is found. he brick were made and laid for less than our dollars a thousand. A good part of it ame right out of the foundation. We hope 'vt to wake another visit to Clinton and ring back ideas that will enthuse our peo 'Ie into imitating the example. Again we boarded the train bound for 'css IHill, where on arrival we took car iages for the famous Harris Lithia Springs. 'he ride across the -ountry was delightful rnd to a low countryman it was a revela. ion of beauty. The country is hilly, but he roads were hard and smooth. Arriving t the springs, we were met by the pro >rietor, .r. James T. Harris, and with hat warm:-hrarted grasp of the hand, he nade is feel wclcowe and at home. It was tot long after taking a bath that we were iven carte blanche to ramble at will over lie premises. We went all over the spa ious hotel and were struck with its large, iry and well turnished rooms, the clean iness of the bedding, towels, etc. The itxt thing which caught our eye was a rink that we followed and thin we went ip statis in the dancing casino. This is ne of the nicest summer dance halls in he State. A voice below commanded us lown again, and there we talked and troiled on the broad verandas with our ld friend Captain Shell and others. Later, re went down to the famous Lithia prings and drank the Water. This spring r said to contain more health-giving qual t:es than any other spring in the United tates and that there is considerably more ,ithia in these waters than the celebrated utfalo waters. We have no hesitency in ecommending Harris Lithia waters to verybody. The plain water is a general ealer, but the carbonated water is the incst in the world for indigestion and dyspepsia. The As ociation were the guests f Mr. Harris, the pr:'prietor, and after an nterchange of courtesies and sight seeing 1r. and M1rs. Harris held a reception in ne of the parlors. President Aull and Mrs. larris led the way into the parlor,followed *v Mr. Harris and Mrs. Bristow; they took beir positions near the dining room door, nd as it was rolled open the guests were ch presented to the host and hostess. 'hen the march was taken up and into lie banquet hall the company assembled ere was a repetition of the Newberry ban uet, music, flowers beautiful women, hampagne and a bountiful supply of sub t .tials, prepared by the hotel manage ent. and alter a hearty meal washed own by a generous supply of wine, the >ngues of the guests became loosened and en came a flow of eloquence, wit, and umor, followed with appropriate resolu ons thanking our host and hostess and xtending an invitation for them to be ome members of our party to the exposi on. We should have stated that before ?aving Newberry we persuaded Mayor ;vans to accompany us. Mr. and Mrs. Harris will linger in the earts of the newspaper fraternity; a more eLial couple it was never our pleasure to feet. Mr. Harris is a big-hearted, noble )llow, who is the friend of all good men, nd he has more hustle about him than a ozen ordinary men. Mrs. Harris is a ifted conversationalist, highly aceomplish d and even a mi-cheivons newspaper man id not have the nerve to play off single to sweet little lady under her chaperonage. [e started in all right enough, and thought e was getting on charmingly, but when e met those kind benevolent eyes of the laperone his heart could not permit, the eception and he boldly came out from his iding, when, however, the truth was nown it did not cut him off from any leasure. After the banquet the dancing people .paired to the casino and to the gay music, id they whisper love into each other's irs and keep time to the latest waltzes. In 2e dancing pavilion we met Mr. J. J. roughton, of Fulton, and the short time e had left was spent in his company. The aters were helping him and he thought e was growing better. We did not know e was stopping there or would have in uired after him as soon as we arrived and gretted that we only had a few inates ith him. The signal to get ready to leave as the sending up of a balloon; this also t those at the railroad know we were bout to leave the hotel. The second bal on was the signal that we had started. he night air was cool enough for a thick aat hut the crowd had on an inner coat hich kept out the chilly air. Our private allman was at Cross Hill when we re rned from the festive springs about 11 clock, p. m. We boarded the car and ~on all of the luggage was stowed away. lie washroom for the men, or observatory ad, was converted into a wine celler, and it was a supply of wines, snake medi te, soda water, Harris Lithia waters, rbonated and plain ,lemons, strawberries, gars, and, in fact, it was a well stocked >mnmissary. The writer's section was down ithat particular end, and when we pulled at over the Seaboard Air Line the shak ig up seemed to create a thirst with some Sthe party and veiy soon such a breaking fice, cutting of lemons and popping of >rks was a caution to some of the W. C. T. ,who were seeking slumbers amid in ocnnce. This first night on the road will e a memorable one. The gang would not t the writer sleep and to cap the climnu ey added damage to injury by making ie most hideous noises, which they called nging and which one of the ladies mis ok for her "papa" snoring. TIhese fel >ws sang anythirag and everything from b plsntation songs to the most difficult peras, and most of them carried these >ngs with the same tune. Had it not been r a thutnderously deep bass frotm New erry, a te..or accompanied by Cascanets om Columbia and a soul-stirring soprano om onster, the writer would have scaped through one of the car windows, ut those three voices smoothed out some fthe harshness of the others, because they ould occasionally sing a catchy song, atitled, "Fill 'umn up agin." This was ang with variations, and the writer arough courtesy was forced to 1 sten and -onder why such excellent voices could t be induced to sing in a Chinese opera. Onward wne sped towards Atlanta over a Seaboard Air Line and the hilarious ess was kept up until about 3 'oelock, a. i., when shame and sympathy took pos ssion of the night hawvks and they sought aeir resp~ective berths. On arriving in tthmta about '7 a. in., we were aroused *ith the shrill cry of "morning piapers," rd the enterprising newsboys knowing ur car to be filled with newspaper people, tde it a point to inform us that the pa. rs conutaited iwiortant South Carolina ews. "1rg riot in Colunibia," etc. It as here that the.news of thu deplorable llg'e aiffair overtook us, and it was read 'ith earessions of sincere regret. The 'riter was the first to learn of the affair ad thinking the editor of the "State" ould lie anxious for such an important iee of local news, we informed him, but rter his experience of the night before he -3s a hard n.an to convince. The party, ter a hurried preparation, left the car and et over to Durand's restaurant where iy breakfasted, and after abont an hour's :roll in the city we returned to the car and ay we headed for Chattanooga. Captain .I. Latimer, of the Nashville, Chat mooga & St. Louis read, accompanied us -oim Newterry to Chattanooga aut the As eiationi are indebted to him for many urtesies. The countryn from Atlanta to attanooga is beautiful beyond descril: on and on either side of the road are iountains and valleys making up scenery > ill the artist soul with enthusiasm. We ed through this magniticient country in atime, and it gave us the advantage of eing the many towns and cities en route, me of which displayed a large amount of tat material which goes to make progress. he run from Atlanta to Chattanooga was Lade on that great railroad system, The Western & Atlantie" and the "Nashville, hattanoogs & St. Louis,' which, by the a, has comfortable tw'ins and gentle. anlv condtictors. The Western & At. ntic passes through numbers of battle elds and with such a guide as Captain atitier every member of the party drank om lhis lips the glowing accounts of the 'eds of valor related by hiro. He had ese traditiotns on his finger's ends, and recounted them in an intercsting man. er.

McPherson, Thomas, and others at the Federal army. ft was in this section that the "flower of the South" was cut d1wr striving to obstruct the invasion aln iiiarAe thouhGer:a. It was~ a natvl exia-roum-c to imany of us to pass throught tunnels and in order to feel perfectly safe We took tie precaution just before entering a tunnel t.o warn our frien1 who was occnpy ing a seat with us that she must not take advantage of the situation by reminding her of our marital ties at home. We glided along over this rock ballast road through all kinds of obje-ts of intorest until We reached Chattanooga, and a more travel stained, smoke-dried set of newspaper tramps never landed in that city before. We at once marched in a body over to the "Read House," the finest hotel in the city. and after a hurried .slah in the wash roomis, we were ushered into tne soactou dinning room and there sat down to such a meal as will attract the attention of th'se pos essed with appreciative appetites. Oar program did not permit too ion.; a stay at the hotel, for before soms of the party ha.l finished their meal two Tally ho's. ah drawn by magnificient thoroughbreds, were champing their bits at the door and Pre - dent Aull was flitting about currying th' party up for excursion to Lookout Mountain, Chicamauga, Missionary Ridge battle fiells. the National Park and other places of in terest. The crowd caine out of the hotel picking their teeth and in a few minutes the wirl "go ahead" was given, and away went tL'i jolly party in quest of the famous Look-nut Mountain; on reaching the place to make the ascension, many of the party as tuy looked up and saw a length of 45100 feet with a rise of 1,580 feet, it made them shud der and some would have backed out if they could have done so gre cefully. Look out Mountian is 85 miles in length. extend ding south, to a narrow point at the north end overlooking Chattanooga acd the Ten nessee river, and being higher than the surrounding mountains makes it the finest view in America. On top of this mountain is a large hotel and many handsome cot tages. Twenty-seven of the party crawled up on "Umbrella Rock" and were photo graphed; from this point the scenery below was beautiful beyond the power of the writer to describe. It was the grandest view we ever saw; it was grandeur sublime. We reached the top of this spot in han: some cable cars, and both, going up and coming down, our thoughts were on "what if the cable should break?" The sight of the beautiful Tennessee riv er as it wound its wondrous way through the valleys, with a fringe of green along its banks, houses of the city of Chattanooga had the appearance of balls glistening in the sunlight is lovely. This spot alone is worth the trip and all those from this sec .ion, contemplating a trip to the centennial must not fail to visit Lookout Moun tain so full of historic reminiscences. With considerable reluctance the party left the grandest of spots to again enter the car and come down from our lofty perch. The de scent started with many tight grips on the seats, and one young lady is charged with squeezing a distinguished member of the party, but that would be telling tales out of school, so we will hold, on that score. The descent was made without incident and when we stepped out from the car a sigh of relief went out from everybody. We again boarded our "Tally-ho's" and started on a journey which proved to be the feature of the day. The gentleman in charge of us was thoroughly familiar with the surround ing country and in pointing out the various battle fields he gave us the record o: the number killed and wounded and the names of the commanss. The visit to Chickamau gua battlefield, now National park, was not only over and amid beautiful scenery, but it was a lesson in history. The battles fought here are recorded in history as among the most important,and the following statistics will show how terrible was the slaughter: Rosecrans-l'illed, 1,657; wvounded, 9,758: missing, 4,757; total effective force, 59J,S70: loss, 16,170; Bragg-Killed, 2,389; wound ed, 9,756; mis-ing, 2,003; total effective force, 63,557; loss, 17,804. Total loss to both armies, 33,974. These figures are taken from federal statistics. South Caro lina helped largely to make up the history of Chickamauga. It was here that Ker shaw, Capers and others stood the shower of shot and shell and buiit for themselves a nae that will go down to posterity along side of the famous warriors of the world. This park belongs to the United States government and contains 5,506 acres and is patrolled by government police who will not allow a twig or a splinter to be removed; if it were not for this, relic hunters would soon remove the cabins and even destroy the monuments. All of the brigades that took part in this fanions battle are desig nated by iro-1 tablets. The umonuments were erected by the various States, and all that we saw were those of the F-ederai side: this caused some comment when our gtiide explained that "wherever a Felerad nmonui ment stood to mark their deeds of valor, right in front, and facing it, is where those that followed the 'starry cross' fought an d made glorious sacritices for their country.' At the foot of Snodgrass Hill is the spot designated as where the gallant Kershaw stood. The monuments are the tinest of the stone cutters' art and some of the s;atui ary is grand. There are various pieces of bronze showing battles in full blast and as reali ic as human hand can muake them. Of course, our space will not permit us to give a cotuplete account of this historic spot we could write for days on this one subject. but we will say that no one should think of going to the exIposition without taking in Chattanooga and visiting the Chickatuauga National Park. Our party was taken along Mlissionary Ridge over one of the finest roads in America, and frotu here was a revelttion and an education; down the slope stood the majestic city of Chattanmooga witui Its smoking stack~s from the factories, and the squares of building; like blocks on a cheek er-board, and as ae went bounding aiong this road, on one side dotted with lashion able residences and beautiful parks, all of a sudden in the distance beyond, thaere sprang into view, as if by magic, the ec tc lights of the city. It was a-ight which was inspiring and which drove awa mucu of the fatigue that had come oveyr us rom the thirty-five-mile dhrive. The g'odel in formed us that the park conta-ns over 300 nionuments. We got back into the c .y worn out with fatigue, but most satis,-ctt r ily paid for the trip, after taking' a lhttea nime strolling on the principall thorougu famre, we again boarded our car and tuckedI ourseves away' in cur lhttle beds to be car ried on to the citv of sehoouls andI eiaurchcs - ashville. IN NAStvI.. Very few tof the party cared to stay awake and by 11 P. M., the car was as silent as a tomb, with the excep tion of an occasional snore fr-onm the berths of some of the elder ladies. The next morning, bright and early the porter woke us up to inform us that our destination had been r-eached. It was a beautiful Sundlay mor-nn. and by the time the party got dressed Captain Jones, of the division of pub licity, came on boat'd and was untir in in his attentions. All of the pa'rty went direct to the Hotel Max well, the "Ponce de Leon" of Natsh ville, and after getting a retreshing bath and a most delightful breakfast, some of them went to the Fitrst Pres bteria chureb, where Dr. Vauce, thie pastor, preached a most delight Fl seimon, dedicated especially to the South Carolina State Press Asso eiation. The rest of the day w-ias spent in sight seeing, both on cars and in carriages. The writer atnd a small party did the Sttate Capitol ttnd he suburbs of the city while the 21ajor portion of the crowd were rest ng. In the evening, the ausociation n a body attended service at Christ Eppiscopal) church, where the rector, Dr. Wincesteir, delivered a grand ermon to the association and he >aid the press a beautiftul tribute; the iinig in this church was enchant ng and when the sexivice was over we ill congratulated ourselves for having The constant travei and cuni e i 1l pleasures had its ehcet upon the t strong~ert of the ero. i a:1.1l b forec Midnight we sou..:ht thl qu1e of our t respective ciucies. jYiltnda eL moXi ecu anweil \I)~a o i ~n t~ ealfelt the b~etter" for ha~ving retirVei emu;t-1 pitratively ealy.

We cannot underta le a deiscripton of this great exposition, for the rean that it w-uld rteqtuire a bok (f a\n pages to go in(- dta. Fue buill ings are far su)crior to those at the Atlau:a show and the exhibits are finer; the grounds cannot be excelled anvwhiere in America. They are a natural exposition ground. The buildings are built after the Grecian style of architecture. The art build ing, which is attracting great atteu tion is said to be an exact copy of the I "Parthenon." There are forty-tive buildings and thirteen main boid ings on the grounds and the main buildings are grouped around about a natural lake, on which are to be seen toating black and white sw'as and at night. under the glare of thle many colored lights the "Iialto around the lake pre.sents a scene that beggars description. The main buildings are: The P r thenon. the Auditorium, the U nited States Government, Comr:rce, lis tory, Minerals and Forestry, Won an's building, Children's. Arricilur al, Machinery, Negro, Raibay exib- ii its. Pvthian, and a whole raft of tine but smaller buildings. The only exhibit we saw Iron this State was a very creditable one fron Harris Lithia Springs: this was i the agricultural building and it was very tastily arranged. Mr. Harris, the proprietor of this famous health giving water, also made arrilgements to advertise the water on the grounds with a system of electric lights. Theni in the woman's building, among the books, we found a novel written by a member of our party, Mrs. M. '. Coleman. of Seneca, S. C. The book is entitled "A Blue Chrysanthemum" and has received some very compli mentary notices from thle Nashivilie press. M1rs. Virginia D. Young, of Fairfax, another member of our party has two volumes of her pro duction: "Tower in a Desert" and "Beholding as in a Looking G lass." There are also quite a number of books from South Carolina author esses. The Mlidway or "Vanity Fair," as it is called in Nashville, is more like the Atlanta show than anything we saw on the grounds. Here could be found all manner and sorts of people and attractions. There was no Ferris wheel, but there was a "chute" and a "see saw'' and a hundred and one things to take away the change. The Chinese village with a population of I about 500 almond-eyed fo)lks was a curiosity: we attenuded a Chinese thaatrical performance in compan with several ladies, and one young lady' from Laurens was so completely arried away with Chinese opera that~ we fear her fellow will meet his Waterloo when he next goes to see her. Lager beer gardens were there! in full blast and gloryv and so was "Dante's Inferno." This latter should be visited to be appreciated. 'The beer gardens need no words, judging from the wvav certain members of our party would slip away from the ladies I and slide into a beer g:arden for a tooth piuk.

The "Columbia outrage," -s it is ermned by some of the newspapers hat are condemning General Watts 'or the deplorable affair which oc ,urred on the college green is loubled in our opinion by the in emperate speech of Dr. Woodrow, lie dean of the faculty. We feel sorry or General Watts in his unfortunate ed awkward predicament, which we nust think was the result of a mis mnderstanding, but we cannot ap >rove, and must condemn the incen liarv speech delivered to the college dovs by Dr. Woodrow. His spee.'ti sinl do harm. Those who know any :hing about college boys will admit hat they very often place themselves n a position to cause misun :lerstandings, and as a rule they are aot "innocents," especially where any levilment can be kicked up. We have read about the unfortunate affair, and aven talked to parties in Columbia where the feeling is very much divi led, and we have come to the con lusion that General Watts should aot be L.=ld solely responsible,at least, intil the conduct of the boys has peen investigated and they are found :o have been entirely blameless in the natter. We further think the news ?apers have been entirely too severe )n General Watts; that while he may 2ave been indiscreet, yet when it is remembered that the Colonel of the egiment informed him be had per nission to use the grounds, allow mces should be made for a misun lerstanding. We are glad, however, hat an inquiry is to made by a legal y constituted body and men who vill listen to the evidence and render verdict in accordance with their onscientious convictions, regardless )f the clamoring of tne newspapers nd excited professors.
