THE TIMES editor has just returned from the meeting of the State Press Association which held its sessions at Gatfney, and then took a trip to Ashe ville, Hendersonville and Lake Toxa way. If THE TIMES this week is not up to the standard the readers will understand why. It is our opinion, based upon what we could gather in the upper counties of the State that the Senatorial situa tion continues with Smith and Evans the leading candidates, with some probability of Rhett distancing one of the two for second place. Smith, Evans and Rhett are the leading can didates. The State campaigners arrived from Sumter last evening, and those running for the minor offices got busy right away distributing literature. Senator Blease was the only candidate for gov ernor to arrive last night, and several local gentlemen called to pay their re spects. Governor Ansel arrived this morning however, which was very gratifying to his friends. Mr. Ransom L Logan, the oldest man lving in this section, died last Friday after only a few days illness 91st. year of his age. Active and jovial, straight as an Indian, he was a familiar figure on the streets of MJanning. He had lived here for the past ffve years. and in this county for many years more. though he was a native of Camden. Mr. Logan volunteered and served inithe Mexican war in the latter 40's and in the Confederate war in the 60's. His remains were buried in the Man ning cemetery on Saturday morning after a brief funeral service conducted by Rev. D. A. Phillips. Mr. Logan was twice married, and leaves his second wife, four sons and two daughters NOTICE.

The annual meeting of the South Carolina l'ress Association held inl Gaffuey wa without any exaggeratii the most successful and enjoyable in the history of the :rgai':ailtion. The editors and the ladies who accol>a ied themi, we re. gleen !i time of thheir hives. Tihe people of Gatfney enter tilned mio..t lviiy. m 1!)!i every ,h1 ment of our' stay In that enterprisin;. city was one of pleasure, and strenuous pleasure at that. The main spring of this occasion was Ead. DeCamp. editor of the Gaffnev Ledger lie carried out his threat when extending the in vitation for the association to meet at. Gatney. --to give the gang the biggcst time ever" and he did it. DeCamp wins in a walk. But he had a cinch. He could afTord to make claim to be able to entertain the press association. 1le had a big hearted people at his back. The en tertainment was no doubt quite an ex pensive atTair, but that did not matter to such people, they were entertaining the press of the State and every man. woman and child went heartily to the task: even the negroes of Gaffney took pride in standing for the public spirit of the occasion, would otTer their ser vice, and when acceptet.. would politely decline pay. "Gaffney is yours" seem ed to be the sentiment all over the town. We had occasion to go into a drug .tore with some ladies to buy cool drinks, but the young man told us "your money won't pass in Gaffney." The party was quartered at Lime stone College, an institution surround ed with historic associations. It is situa?d about two miles from GafTney upon a high hill, surrounded with beautiful lawns, slopes and trees, the scenery is superb. The building con tains over one hundred rooms with all of the modern conveniences, in fact everything seems to be with a view to health and comfort. The sessions were held in the magnificient auditorium where the citizens of Gatfney honored us with their attendance. The dining hall was in the basement, and three times a day the large party of visitors together with a number of local people would sit down to delightful meals ele gantly served, the preparation and management by Caterer Skinner from Charlotte. It is utterly impossible to do justice in these columns, in any attempt we might make at describing the hospi tality of the good people of Gaffney. Let us say with a heart full of gratitude and sincerity that the entertainment of the association at Gaffney excelled any in the associations history. There was not an idle moment, music, laughter, riding, walking. sight-seeing, courting. everything to make the heart grow gladder was there. The citizens pro vided carriages, and automobiles and we made a tour of the mills. The GafTney Manufacturing Company's mill is a very large institution and employs a great many people. The Irene Mill, owned by Mr. Wheat manufactures damask goods, table linens principally and the goods turn ed out here are not only very pretty but of excellent quality. The manage ment. as a compliment to the associa tion presented a mantle scarf to each of the party as a memento of the occa sion. At the ice factory there was something refreshing for those who cared to indulge and we did indulge quite freely we confess- but the weather was hot, the thirst was deep down, and took several glasses of cold beer to reach the spot. We are ahead of our story. A part of the gang arrived at Limestone Mon day night and were met. at the train by a reception committee with Ed DeCamp at its head. The party was placed in a car of the Limestone dummy line and in a few minutes we were at the col lege, received with open arms by its~ president, Dr. Lodge, and rooms as signed. Tuesday morning the sessions began, called to 'order in the grand auditorium by President Aull and opened with prayer by Rev. A. M1. Sims, pastor of the First Baptist church of Gaffney. Professor H. P. Griffith delivered an address of welcome, in which he told of the wonderful growth of Gaffney and the possibilities. He paid a beautiful tribute to the makers of history and- es pecially those who made Cowpens and King's Mountain famous. Cowpens is in Cherokee county but a few miles from the college and from this battle field walking sticks were cut and pre sented to the members of the press. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge, president of the college, also delivered an address of welcome, which was a literary gem, and closed with an original poem enti tled "The Soldiers Led by Lee." It being so beautiful and patriotic we shall reproduce it: In lay and legend deathless. The bards of Hellas tell Of deeds that leave us breathlesss. A' .d bound and awesome spell: And Rome has won the thunder Of all the world's applause For mighty works of wonder Wrought erstwhile in her cause: But neither Greek nor Roman. Though rightly bouno with bays. Eer won against the foeman. In old heroie days. Such fame of fadeless splendor. Such homage from the f re. As proudly now we render The soldiers led by Lee. The soldiers led by Lee: The soldierle~d by Lee: . never the fame of a single name Forgotten here shall be. WhIle shines the sun. While rivers run. As long as the jessalmine blooms. We'll sing their praise. We'll walk in their ways.. Well cherish their muemories and guard their tombs. 0, not 'neathi sounding wave. 0. not in the louely grave, The heroes lie whose deeds for aye Shall jewell the pages of fame. They are sepulchered in our hearts In our lives they still have parts. And our souls. like poet's lyre. Are a-tremble with the lire Of the passion that we feel.' And the pity as we kneel 'Mid scenes their blood makes sacred Till time himself expire. O. son of the Southland. never forget The heroes that wore the gray. For dear is the land they fought for yet As in that elder day. . daughter of Dixie. be true, be true. To the knights of the Southern Cross For they sned their blood in a tide for you. And the best you can give is still but dross. o. well-loved land or cott.. Where the sweet magnolias bloom. Neer once hast thou foreotteni. How dread so'er thy doe-.u It may be at ehe spindle.

The thin, gray line grows thinner still. T he sun sin ks down behimd the hill. And speetral Death. with linger chill. Is touching one by one the host. With tear-dimmed eyes we see the gaps.

THORNTON, A DAVE TURBEVILLI and they were richly entertained by Miss Nance's eloquent and earnest ap peal for the improvement of our public schools. The address of this cultured lady, an educational missionary,should be read in every household in the United States. There is food for thought in it for every man and woman. it is bound to be fruitful of results. Wednesday morning was- picnic day, and after an early breakfast we board ed the train and was taken to Gaston Shoals, eight miles east of Gaffney, where is the greatest power plant in the South, furnishing electric power to turn the mills in Gatiney, Blacksburg, Clifton, and other towns, besides furn ishing power for Spartanburg, and will soon run the street railway and al) of the great mills in and around Spartan burg. This plant is a most gigantic and wonderful affair, and should be seen to be appreciated. The superin tendent of these stupendous works is Mr. Oscar Shanks, a whole-souled fel low, who threw his whole heart into the work of aiding in entertaining the visitors. Thc Southern Railway was represented by Col. J. C. Lusk, division passenger agent, whose headquarters are in Charleston. Mr. Lusk added much to the pleasure, and remained with us until the entire trip was ended. He will-ever remain in the kind re membrances of the newvspaper people. He is a charming man,is the sentimecit voiced by the ladies, and a jolly, good fellow by the men. Under the care of Mr. Lusk we went to Gaston Shoals, where Mr. Oscar Shanks was a most genial host. He showed us through the entire plant, the powerful machi nery, the massive dams, and wonderful masonry, and the, lovely waterfalls. Every attention that could possibly conceived of to make pleasure was given by our hospitable host assisted by some of Gaffney's citizens A magnificient dinner was served, when the sig ht-seeing was over, and then returning to the power house, speeches were indulged in and photo graphs were taken. The trip to Gaston Shoals was a revelation to many of us and it will ever linger in our minds as one of the most profitable we have ever taken. Returning to Gaffney we were driven about the city, and wound up the day by witnessing a game of base ball be tween Spartanburg and Gaffney, in which the former won. Ina the evening we were highly en tertained by a fine address from Hon. A. L. Lawvshe. Third Assistant Post master General, after which we were entertained by a most eloquent ad dress from Hon. R. H. Edmunds, edi tor of the Mianufacturers' Record of Baltimore. These addresses have been published in the daily papers. After the speeches there was an informal re ception, giving the visitors an oppor tunity to greet and be greeted. At this function the ladies of Gaffney presented the latest in fashionable dress. It was indeed a brilliant scene, richly gowned, and tastely jewelled women, big-souled men, business and cultu eed society comn mingling all in honor of their guests. The next day when the business was over, reading of papers, debates, etc., all of the old officers were re-elected. Brother DeCamp presented each lady with a beautiful souvenir in the nature of china with the picture of Limestone College painted upon it. These were plates, vases, powder boxes and other useful and ornamental articles. The men were given walking sticks from the battlefield of Cowpens. Friday evening a musical recital was tendered us by Mliss Dew, of Limestone faculty, assisted by Mrs. Hames, and M1r. Lipsconmb. Again the culture and beauty of Gail'ney filled the college auditorium. The program was delight fully carried out. M1iss Dew's per for mances on the piano and pipe orgar were of a very high and pleasing order The solos of Mrs. Hames were beautiful. She has a well-rounded sweet voice, ann selections fell upon grateful ears: besides having a very Ene voice, she is pretty. M~r. Lipscomb added much tc the evening's pleasure by his well rounded baritone, and he bids fair tc make a reputation with his voice. This was the breaking up of the Gaffney meel ing, as the push had to make an early start for the mountains, the next morn ing. The bell rang at 5 a. in.. Saturday and by 6i o'clock all hands were at th breakfast tables, such a brcakfast everything was there to tempt the ap petite, fruits, meats of all kinds, chick en. fried and broiled, eggs in every shape and form. and the best of coffee tea and cocoa-indeed it was a grant mlennl. In a special train in charge of Mir. J1 C. Lusk we left Gatiney with the heart; handshakes and good wishes of the multitude, bound for Asheville. Or the route everybody was so over whelmed by the loving kindness sho.v them by the people of Gaffney that oul tramn for several hours was one of sad ness, but M1r. Rozier L. Bouis, repre sentative of the American Type Foun ders company, a favor'ite with th< South Carolina Association and one o the most genial fellows that ever lived overl]ooked the situation and soon ha' things in a whirl. and from then unti the party bade each other good by< e vervthing~ wa;s merry.

As soon as the gang could get up and get something to eat the board of trade took charge of the party and a special car took us over the city and the sights were lovely. In the evening the grand ballroom was thrown open to us and an informal dance was given. The next morning we hied out for Hendersonville. On arriving we were welcomed by Hendersonville's young and handsome mayor, Mr. Schenk, and taken to the Wheeler House, another magnificent mountain hostelry, an ele gant luncheon was served, and then headed by the mayor, the party was taken about the city and to Laurel Park in carriages. It seemed that everybody was glad "o see u s. We left Hendersonville 4 p. .m. and reached Lake Toxaway about 7 o'clock. The scenery between Hen dersonville and Toxaway we believe is the grandest in the world, confirmed are we in this belief, by a statement made to us by an Alabama lady who has toured the world twvice, she said, "there is nothing to equal it." Lake Toxaway hotel has no superior, the room are large and airy, the house is so constructed as to catch the breezes from the beautiful lake, and to give an excellent view of the scenery. We sat in our room and from the balcony door was entrance with the great panorama before us. The attention shown us at this great resort is much appreciated. We want to go back. At Asheville we were the guests of Mr, Alexander the proprietor of the Battery Park hotel, and he lavished upon us the best there was. It was all ours. Our stay at Toxaway was over Sun day, many went out on the boats, rowed up and down the lake, others made the trip 'on the launch, while still others took the carriage drive up the mountains, then there were others who enjoyed themselves in Bible read ing and other things. In the evening the press party and guests of the hotel assembled in the ball room where the evening before a ball was held in honor of our party, and in which the girls did themselves proud. The gathering had been arranged by the management of the hotel, and a program fixed which consisted of music and speeches, all of which was faithfully and snost enter tainingly carried out. Realizing that this was our last night at Toxaway, the party remained in the ball room after the musicians left, and sang songs, had a mock marriage, crowned the lovable Lusk, a queen of May, and did all sorts. of stunts to have a good time, and in all of this pleasure Mr. Lusk is entitled a front seat, and his kind, and gentle many attentions will always be rem~em bered by the ladies and gentlemen of the association. The pleasures cannot last forever, therefore Monday morning, we were called at 4:15, breakfasted at 5 and at 6 o'clock our homeward journey was begun The many friendships formed on this trip, thetties made cannot be broken in this life, we all love one another, it was indeed a great big fam ily out for a good time and they had it. Reaching Spartanburg our crowd be gan to break. It was here Dear Old Ed DeCamn his wife, and his daugh ters left us. taking with him Bouis and Connor, besides others the farewells spoken came from grateful hearts, and the gang will always have a crust and a bed for DeCamp, Bouis and Connor, three of the "whitest" of men. May they live long and prosper, and be per manent adjuncts to the South Carolina Press Association. It was sad to tell our friends good bye, but arriving at Columbia, the party went in all direc tions carrying away aching hearts for having to part, but will always remem ber the association and Gaffney.
