June 23id. t ?The. first assembling was in the Shrine Club room of Hotel Franklin. ?Old Timer#' Night." Reminiscence** by Ed. H, DeCamp, W. H. Wallace, J. C. Hemphill, K. H. Aull and Aug ust Kohn. At ton p. m. there was a reception and dance in the ball room of Hotel Franklin. Wednesday morning a bus ?imcss session was held. Address of welcome was made by Horace L. Bo mar. president of the Spartanburg ifhrfmber of Commerce, and response bv Dr. W. W. BaiH, dean of journal" University of South Carolina. Aft i the usual business there was ?n address by a representative' of American Association of Railway Ex ecutives. The selection of 1924 con vention city resulted in the choice oi Conway, (Myrtle Beach.) In the af ternoon the visitors were given an automobile ride to points of interest in and around Spartanburg, and from e .? m n recention at" the Country Club. Wednesday the annual banquet was given at the Cleveland Hotel, compliments of the Chamber of Com merce. C. O. Hearon, of Spartan burg, was toastma8ter. A musical prog rani was rendered during the eve ning by Spartanburg- talent. Ten min ute talks were given by Governor T. G. McLeod, Col. Rion McKissick, the new president of the Association, Mr. Carl Williams, of Oklahoma City, president of the American Cotton Growers Association, and Dr. Snyder of WotTord College. The delightful entertainment lasted until one o'clock a. m. and at 7:30 the party of . one hundred and thirty boarded the train for the trip over the Carolina, Clinch field & Ohio railroad. This trip was complimentary and was given by the president of the C. C. & O., Mr. Phettyplace, who accompanied the party. The train consisted of five Pullmans, a diner, a baggage car and the president's private car, and was pulled nearly all the time by two engines. Owing to a wreck on the C. ('. & O. we had to detour on the Southern and that put us late every where and no lunch had been pre pared i\>; vis on the diner as we were expected at i^rwin, lennessee, at | noon, and a picnic arranged in our honor at the Government Fishories, two miles from the town . The peo ple .if Krwin heard of our sad dilem ma and a bevy of , bright*eye<!, rosy checkH mountain lassies hoarded a trau: and met us with baskets of food. And >uch Jhts! Enough to teed a multitude! Who does not love the hand that feeds them when hungry? And those pretty mountain Ijusaieft could be loved anywaiy. The South Carolina Press Association will ever remember them and pray for their health, happiness and peace forever more. We arrived at Erwin late that after noon. and arrived at Kingsport^ Ten nessee, about dark. We have never received ty warmer or more cordial welcome than was accorded us by the people of this beautiful town in the Holston valley .surrounded by til? Ap palachian mountains. At the new and uptodate hotel we were given supper, followed by ft musical program, speeches and a dance in the ball room. We were scheduled to leave at eleven thirty, but our host would not he*r to it, and we accepted the gracious invitation to spend the night. Some stayed at the hotel, others went back to their Pullman. We were all invited to remain at the hotel. The next^ itibirn ing We were their guests for break fast and then given a ride around the town. Around forty automobiles ~ac Majestic Theatre Programme Today, Friday, June 29th.

We wftre each given a book as a souvenir. It would be difficult to overestimate the import ance of this tremendous book manu facturing industry at Kingspprt, the number of people employed, etc. We were told that they were using South Carolina wood and we assured them that it toas good wood, as everything that came from .South Carolina wuh allright. Kingsport Is an outstanding example of what can be accomplished in building an industrial center that is proving a success in every way. Kingaport is going to live and stead ily expand, because those who are shaping its destiny hi^ve built for the future by giving opportunity and ed ucation to these mountain people and enabling them to have a real part in developing the resources of their own ?sretion. Tho next stop was at Moss, Virgin ia, and the program there included a visit (o the Clinchfield coal mine. Nearly all the party enjoyed an hour and a half sightseeing in the mines. The miners are very superstitious. One woman said to a member of our party: "A bad omen for a woman to go into the mines. It is sure death .for some one. My husband shall not onter it again in three days." She seemed to think that by that time the unlucky spell would be off. At Dante, Virginia, nestled like a cup in the mountains, we were again delightfully entertained with speeches a reception and a dance. Leaving Dante at 11:30 p. m., we saw the sun rise in Johnson City, Tenn. A ride in automobiles was tendered the party here, and an informal reception at the eountry elub. On the homeward run the special made a brief halt at Erwin, and everybody got ofF. President J. Rion McKissick, of the State Press Association was mounted on a truck in the yards and expressed the thanks of the . party to Phettyplace, of the C. C. & O., G, A. Reese of the Clinch field Fuel Company, and S. T. Reid, chairman of the Spartanburg Cham ber of Commerce for the wonderful and pleasureful success of the trip. Mr. McKissick also said that the party rde#,red {o make a slight token of their appreciation and that appropriate gifts would be purchased in Spartan burg for Mr. Phettyplace and Mr. Reese, and engraved with the names of the two officials and the thanks of the press party. In a few well chosen words Mr. Phettyplace replied that the trip had been filled with only pleasure for him and in its success he felt amply re paid. Loud and prolonged applause for Mr. Phettyplace, Mr. Reese and also for Erwin followed and the train Sped on towards Carolina. An all wise Providence has endowed the whole Appalachian section with remarkable mineral, timber, coal, wa ter power and other resources that offer the basis for many varieties of successful industries. We could not help wondering what would be the future of this land of pTomise and possibilities. ? "Oh beautiful halcyon skies For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the eternal plain! America! America! God shed His grace on thee Till souls wax fair as earth and air, And music-hearted sea." Many great men have come from the sturdy stock of these mountain regions, and have filled high places in the educational, teligious and business activities in all parts of the country. Afid'We believe there is a great future for this wonderful section. ? We .can not close this article without again referring to the Spartanburg Cham ber of Commerce and its genial presi dent, Horace L. Bomar, and to Charles O. Hearon, editor of the Spartanburg Herald; to all th? city officials that helped to make possible the most de lightful meeting in the history of the" Association.
