Uy Miss Louise Nettles ? " 1 ? ?' i ?? J " ? " Echoes From the Press Tri|? So much has? been said by the dailies in praise of the very delight ful trip <?f the State Press Associa tion that we feel that they have stolon our thunder" and left very tittle for us to say. They have posi-, tiytfly U'fd up all the adject^es and left us powerless to describe the un funded hospitality and scenic beau ty through a land of fascinating love liness and patent charm. Therefore wu will briefly give a few gleanings that we gathered by the wayside of the beautiful French, Broad river winding like a silver ribbon through the fertile valleys and lofty moun tains stretching their endless miles through the distance with lights and shadows changing their dress of ver dure to every imaginable shade of green. The brilliant banquet accorded us by the Wideawake chamber t of com merce of our own mountain city equaled any previous effort and even excelled Greenville's far-famed hos pitality. ? The ride to Caesar's Head and . the luncheon tendered us by the Caesar's Head and Paris Mountain Improve ment Company was another link in the chain of delightful episodes. And the view from the head! An unfor gettable experienced North Carolina is a land" of scenic beauty; of water tails, of towering peak? and purple maintains, a land of the rhododen dron and laurel, artd the flaming azaleas ? but you must come to South Carolina to see the world, stretching out before you fair and smiling from Caeser's Head. "I do not own an inch of; land, but 'all I see ts mine." Our next stop was at Brevard, a lovely little town in the heart of the famous valley of the French Broad river, where .old time Southern hospitality and many social cour tesies were accorded us* The lun cheon at Hotel Frankliii with the North Carolina Press Association was an especially delightful affair. Among the after dinner speakers was the Honorable Josephus Daniels, former secretary, of the Navy, who with Mrs. Daniels was among the. honor guests, i Mr. Robert Lathan, the newly elected president of the Press' Association acted as toastmaster. A ride tjiat afternoon and reception in the even ing concluded the festivities at Bre vard. On to Pickens next ? back into our own state, whose great beauty and undeveloped resources proved a revelation to many of us. At Rocky Bottom Capip a feast had been pre pared for us, and we. feel safe in predicting that the people of Pick* ens county wil) never starve' ? in fact we think that Pickens alone could feed South Carolina. ? We were warmly welcomed by some of the county's leading citizens, and that afternoon in the town of Majestic Theatre .

At the beautiful Poinsett hotel in Greenville that evening, per haps the most successful and enjoy able meeting in the hisfcory of the South Carolina Press Association came to an end. Visitor Complimented , Complimenting: Miss Valeria Bur nett of Waycro.s.s, (Georgia, who is an attractive visitor hen-, Mi. niul Mrs. C, OS Whitaker entertained at bridge Monday evening. The tables were ar ranged in a setting of summer bloom, and the score prize for ladies went to Miss Margaret Mills, while Mr. T. J. Kirkland, Jr., carried off first honor for men. Miss Burnett was also generously remembered. After the game the hostess served ice crethn and cake. Marriage of Interest , Of cordial interest to a wide cir cle of friends is the marriage in Atlanta on Saturday July 11th, of Miss Sarah Dempsey*' of that city to Mr. George Nicholson of Camden, who with his charming bride is spending a few days with his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Among them an -'enjoyable- dinner party at Hotel Camden Wednesday evening. The dining hall was simply but beautifully decorated for the oc casion. A basket of daisies centered the table with ribbons leading to the places and each tieing a bag of rice for good luck. The table was fur ther adorned with a miniature bride and groom. A course0* dinner vfa s served, healths were drunk ? Ralpth Little giving a toast to the bride and groom. An interesting incident of the evening was the pulling of the ribbons from the basket of- daisies' at the enji of which was a prediction of the future for each guest as written in the book of fate. "Yet they believe we who await no gifts from chance * Have conquered Fate." A handsome reminder of the oc casion was presented to the honor guests ? Mr. Joe McKain in a very happy manner making the speech of presentation. Those present- were Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Misses Virginia Clark, Thelma Flowers, .Nellie Kirk land, Gladys West and Messrs.
