After a week's rest we return, not with an inclination to work, but rather with a desire to go back to min gle with friends with whom we come in contact only once a year, and with whom we always enjoy the relaxation of a few days away from care. The Stato Press Association held its twenty-fifth annual meeting at Harris' Lithia Springs, and so de lighted were the members with this beautiful place and health-giving re sort, that they decided to return there next year. Nature and energy have made Har ris' an ideal place for a convention or an association meeting. The hotel is commodious and clean; the manage ment is under the care of Mr. R. L. Fox. who sees to it that guests are shown every attention, and their pleasures are looked after so that not a minute is left for home-sickness; the table is as good as any of the best hotels in the country and the ser vice is excellent. But after all, people go to this resort for health, and it is here to be found. Under our per sonal observation we saw a lady who, when she arrived at the hotel, was unable to walk a step, she had to be carried about in the arms of her de voted son. The day before we left for home, it was our pleasure to meet this lady walking up a hill from the spring and complaining of hunger. Another case is a man who had been to the famous Buffalo Lithia Springs and, after giving the waters a fair test, came away without deriving any benefit. He was induced to go to Harris', and after a two weeks' stay he told the writer he was being greatly benefited and would remain at the springs for some time yet. We have no hesitancy in advising our readers, if their health is im paired, or if they want a few weeks of real pleasure, go to Harris' Lithia Springs. There is another and very important advantage at this place, the people of the neighborhood take a warm interest in the hotel, and they render the management great aid in the entertainment of guests, making people away from home feel perfectly comfortable and happy. The guests, too, seem to be organized into one great big happy family with Col. J. T. Bacon as the paternal head, and the children are permitted to go un restrained. Every afternoon and eve ning there is dancing; the music is furnished by a band of fine musi cians and the concerts they give, are alone worth a trip to hear. We said that this is an ideal place for the gathering of a convention or an association, and it is; away from the hotel a shcrt distance is a large ball well ventilated which is placed at disposal for such occasions, and when the time comes to call a meeting those interested can always be count ed on being present, whereas, if the meeting took place in a city or town the members would be out sight seeing and the meetings would be poorly attended. The press gang have never had a pleasanter gathering; everybody en joyed themselves and some of the papers read, not only did credit to the writers, but to the association. Mr. August Kohn read a paper on "How to Get News" that should ap pear in every paper in South Caro lina; it would give newspaper readers an idea what newspapers are, and how they should be appreciated, in other words Mr. Kohn's paper was devoid of "frills," and it was filled with good, sound and logical infor mation. Mrs. Virginia D. Young read a paper which was deservedly well re ceived, and it, too, was full of valua ble information and did great credit to the writer and to her sex. There were other papers listened to with much interest, and the dis cussions showed that editors could talk as well as write. Among the courtesies extended was a cask of "Belle of Carolina" beer from tbc Augusta Brewing Co., Augusta, Ga. Upon receiving the information that the South Carolina Press Associ ation had swooped down on Harris' springs, and would remain for a few days, and having some knowledge of the tastes of our honored president, that Mrt. V irginia D. Young would b3 safely looked after by Mr. N. G. Gonzales, editor of the State, they sent the "Belle of Carolina" with their corm pliments and a further expression that the association would find pleasure in the gift. It wa very nice and thought ful, for our president to inform the Augusta Brewery of our presence at the springs, and it was a very grace ful compliment the Augusta Brewery paid us in making the gift, for it was greatly enjoyed by the whole gang, including all of the ladies. Notwith standing the fact that some wore blue ribbons, when a toast was offered that "Here's to the health of the 'Belle of Carolina,' may she live long and prosper," not a soul remained sit ting and to make it more impressive the toast was repeated as often as the cask held the supply. The "Belle of Carolina" is a good beer, clear, spark ling and light,and the Augusta Brew ing Company could not have found a more appreciative set to make a gift to and one that could appreciate it more. It was our pleasure to listen to the address of Col. Pleasant Stovall of Savannah, and to say it was a treat would not be doing justice to an ad dress which in our opinion could not have been prepared in a short space of time. Colonel Stovall's address was a gem of oratory, a revelation of thought, and a word picture of Mexi co which fastened itself upon the brain more effectively than a three months tour through that republic could have done. Editor Hook of Augusta was with us too, and while he enjoyed the sight of South Caroli na editors drinking Augusta's "Belle of Carolina," he would not join us but contented himself with the sparkling water of the Lithia Spring and the pleasentries of the "boys." It was decided to take a trip to Cuba next February, and a special committee which will hereafter be known as the "Cuban Junta" was appointed to make all necessary arrangements. This committee is composed of Major E. H. Aull, News and Herald, August Kohn, News and Courier, N. G. Gon zales, State, and being located in Columbia and together, they will be able to get up a fine trip at a very small expense. Colonel Stovall and Editor Hook are to accompany our association to Cuba. And wo hope that President Aull will not fail to keep the Augusta Brewing compa ny posted as to time we are start. Harris Lithia Springs is splendidly situated, on the crest of the hill is the spacious hotel, and down in a valley are several springs, Lithia, sulphur, and Iron. Thbe lithia is of course, the one most sought after, but we are told that the other springs have good medicinal properties. In front of the hotel the landscape is a beautiful natural scenery that would throw an artist into ecstacies, the atmosphere is mild and the nights are cool. The hotel 'is within two miles of two rail road station Cross Hill on the South ern, and Waterloo on the Charleston and Western Carolina; the trains are met with easy riding carriages and fine teams. Mr. Harris Bristow who has charge of this department relieves the guests of the trouble of bothering with baggage and every thing is de livered at once. The South Carolina Press Association showed their appre ciation of a good thing when they 'voted to return to Harris Lithia Springs next year, and this, in the face of many invitations from various other points. ____ CONCEALED WEAP'ONS. The Supreme Court, through jus tice Gary, has recently handed down a very important decision regarding the carrying of concealed weapons. In short the decision means that no officer, including sheriff, deputies, or State constables, are allowed to carry weaons concealed. The decision is clearly the result of conflicting legis lation, one Statute having been pass e in 1880 forbidding the carrying of concealed weapons, except by officers while in actual discharge of their du ties and by persons while on their own premises, and another act in 1897 upon the same subject, practic ally repeating the language of the former act, witir the important omis sion that no exemption was made for officers carrying weapons while in the discharge of their official duties. The court holds that the latter act repeals the former, and that under this con struction all persons whatever, in cluding constables and other officers, are prohibited from carry wveapons without having them exposed. U.nder the present rulings of the court it is indeed a bad law, and the next session of the Legislature should wipe out all former Legislation upon the subject and pass an act setting out in no unmistakeable terms just what the law is, and who should be allowed to carry weapons, and at the same time giving sheriffs, deputies, and constables, the right to carry wveapons in whatever manner they see fit while in the discharge of their offiial duties. A sheriff or his depu ty, for instance, is supposed to be armed all the time. He is the chief guardian of the peace, and no man is in position to command the peace unless he is in positen to enforce his commands, with arrest if necessary. The respect which rowdies and dis turbers of the peace give to an officer of the law is usually the fear they have of being arrested, and this arises is armed and equipped to enforce his commands. To take away an officers right to carry arms when he deems it necessary is practically taking away his authority as an officer, and to re quire that whenever an important officer sees fit to go armed he must go around like a rowdy, with the hilt of a pistol sticking out of his pocket, will but lessen his power to command respect and lower the dignity of his office. The law on this concealed weapon subject is becoming terribly complicated, and we hope the Genec al Assembly will straighten it out at its next session. In fact we are almost of the opin ion that it would be well to wipe the whole law from the statute books, and let all men be put on equality. Then a gentleman who obeys the law would not be at the mercy of a row dy who pays no attention to it. Mr. W. B. Wilson has returned to Charleston from his trip to Los An geles. His reports to the News and Courier from California were reai with great interest, and the News and Courier was fortunate in selecting him as its correspondent. Wilson is an all round man. He can manage a huge commercial enterprise, manipulate a convention to further the interests of his home, and he can write a very in teresting newpaper story. We yet expect to know that "Billy" Wilson is Mayor of Charleston. He'd make a fine one. The Columbia State sprung a new scheme the other day when it propos ed that Richland county swallow up Lexington county, head and ears, in cluding sand hills, court house town, railroad tracks and all, "to have and to hold, all and singular the said premises, with all its hereditaments and appurtenances in any wise inci dent thereto or appertaining," the prime consideration being that Lex ington has the privilige of being near Columbia. We doubt very much if the Lexington people have quite such an abiding faith in Columbia as the Columbia State would have them to have. It seems funny to think of General Wheeler seeking a place in the Phil ippines to fight directly against what he fought for during the civil war. The South fought for her civil rights and Wheeler was a noble fighter with her. The Filipinos are fighting against the Americans taking their land and all they have away from them, and Joe Wheeler could not rest until he was sent there to help kill the poor creatures. It is hard to say, but it really looks as if the little General has become a hobbyist on the subject of notoriety. His services at Santiago gave him a noble fame to die with. That would have been a fine time for him to quit the military. $100 REWARD $100. The readers or this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all its stages, and that is catarrh. Haill's atarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work Te proprietors have so much faith in its curatve powers that they offer one hundred dollars for any case that it fails to enre.

Washington, July 28.-That the administration fears Alger and the disclosures he may make after next Tuesday, when he will turn the war department over to Mr. Elihu Root who will become Secretary of WXar on that day, is shown by the fre quency with which leading support ers of Mr. McKinley's policy are giv ing interviews to newspapers jollying Alger along as the victim of persecu tion, and predicting that time wvill vindicate him and his administration of the war department. The object of these interviews is to keep Alger's mouth shut. Whether the ruse will succeed only time can tell. For months Alger's personal friends and hangers-on have been making threats as to what he would do if hie was forced out of the cabinet, and inti mating that he could tell things that would shift responsibility which he has been made to bear to other shoulders. It is now up to Alger and he must show whether there was foundation for those threats or whether they were merely a part of a bluffing game he played to try to re main in the cabinet, after he knew he was expected to get out. Another scheme is also being wvorked to keep Alger quiet through the pockets of himself and friends. It has been hint ed to him that some Cuban and Porto Rican business deals in which he and his friends are financially inter ested will be knocked out if lie at tempts to smirch the administration, wvhile they will be let alone if he keeps mum about administration se crets. The navy department seems also to have some 5-ke experts. In order to prevent the battleships Ohio, Mis souri and Maine, now being built, drawing so much water that they could not enter half of our largest seaports, it has been found necessary to change their plans by substituting 11-inch for 12-inch armor and 12-inch guns for 13-inch guns. Representative Clayton of Alabama attended the recent meeting of the Democratic national committee, of which he is a member, and while in Washington this week he talked very interestingly of political matters. For instance, he said: "I learned while in gate to the next national Democratic conventiou, and I do not violate any confidence in saying that if future developments should give a peculiar emphasis to any public question, and should lead a majority of the dele gates to regard any other faithful Democrat as better fitted to lead the party, Mr. Bryan will arise in his place in the convention and support that candidate. I know that he. Las no selfish purposes to serve, and re gards victory for the party as para mount to any ambitions which he may have. I look upon Bryan's re noiniualion as a foregoue conclusion. le has the confidence of the com mon democracy of the country, as no other man has or could have. The Democratic masses support him with out regard to section. He is stronger than any faction of the party, and can comle nearer to uniting all the elements of the party than any other man." If Secretary Root is to be only the legal adviser of the war department, who is going to direct its nilitary affairs? That is likely to become an important question when active ope rations in the Philippines begin again. Gen. Miles would be the proper official, but there is nothing in sight to indicate that he is to be allowed any more authority than he has wielded since Adjutant General Corbin began, at the opening of the war with Spain, to perform the du ties which properly belonged to the commanding general of the army. It was supposed that Alger directed Corbin, and it has been intimated that Mr. McKinley will do so in the future. Mr. McKinley was doubtless a brave soldier, but the historians neglected to record the campaigns in which he commanded an army. Of course, every schoolboy knows that the constitution makes the President commauder-in-chief of the United States army and navy, but that au thority has usually only been exer cised to direct a general policy, leav ing military operations to be directed by trained soldiers. Perhaps Mr. icKinley intends giving the country an innovation by actually assuming command of the army and navy. The newspaper censorship of Gen. Otis cannot be duplicated in this country, but perhaps Mr. McKinley intended to show his sympathy for the method when he ordered that no newspaper men should be allowed in the special train which carried him and his party from Washington to the shore of Lake Champlain, where he will remain for an indefinite pe riod. This is the first time that any President has objected to being ac companied by newspaper men when going from Washington on a pleas ure trip. Before leaving Washington Mr. McKinley made a positive promise to Gen. Garcia that as soon as the Cuban census was completed he would issue the necessary orders for the holding of municipal elections all over the island, preparatory to the establishment of independent home rule.
