THURSDAY, JUNE 15TH, 1916. The South Carolina Press Association. An unexpected honor, which being unsought is appreciated all the more, was conferred upon this writer by electing him treasurer of the Associa tion, and we take this opportunity of pledging ourself to work at all times for the best interests of the organ : - xatior. The outstanding feature of the meeting was the whole-hearted hos pitality of all of the people of York. They seemed to vie with one another in making their guests feel at home and an expression heard on every hand was, "I never saw anything like it be fore.” It was truly old-fashioned hos pitality raised to the nth power. We are back at the daily grind once more, facing the same old problems, but our work is being considerably lightened by the pleasant recollections of the three days spent in the White Rose City. We may forget the faces or the names of some of the people we met in York, but the memory of their fine courtesy will be treasured in our heart even “unto death.” We hope that sometime, in the very near future, an invitation will be tendered and accepted to visit the historic old town again. Well, it was a great meeting—in fact, members who have been regular attendants say it was the best in the history of the Association. The writer left Barnwell Wednesday afternoon, via the Southern Railway, joining the press gang in Columbia, where the party boarded the Augsta Special for Chester. Arriving in that progressive little city, we were met by~l committee from York on a spec ial tram and given the glad hand of welcoma. After a pleasant ride of twenty-three miles over the Carolina and Northwestern Railway we reached our destination and found a large number of the town people at the station to welcome the pencil-pushers and typewriter-pounders. We were immediately assigned to homes and were soon comfortably settled. At 8:30 o’clock in the evening, hosts, hostesses and guests gathered in the spacious rooms of the White Rose Club, where Mayor Wilborn, in behalf of the people of York, handed the vis itors the key to the city and in a few well chosen words, the substance of which was to "go to it,” made the newspaper men and women feel en tirely at home. Responses were made by President Banks, of the Columbia Record, and Vice-President Mims, of the Edgefield Chronicle, after which Mr. J. C. McAuliffe of the Augusta Chronicle, delivered a most entertain ing and instructive address. Thursday morning we mobilixed in front of the Court House, where we were forced to face “Johnny-on-the- Spot” Blanchard and have our picture “took." We then left, via automobile, for King's Mountain Battleground, and after visiting several historical spots Col. Rion McKissick, of Green ville, delivered a splendidly descriptive turning point of the American Revolu tion. After again facing the camera with the same fortitude displayed by the American forces when they charged Col. Patrick Ferguson’s British and Tory troops, we joumeyed across the State line into North Carolina to Lin- wood College, where a bounteous pic nic dinner had been prepared by > the good ladies of York. The inner man having been well cared for, we were piloted into Gastonia, N. C., by the Mayor of that progressive city, re turning to York by way of Clover, S. C. Thursday evening the visitors were tendered a reception at the White Rose Club rooms, where an opportunity was given to get acquainted. Friday was given over to business meetings of the Association, a num ber of excellent papers being read by members. In the evening the Asso ciation enjoyed an excellent address by Dr. Talcott Williams, of the School of Journalism of Columbia University, New York. He is a fluent speaker and handled his subject in a way that elic ited rounds of applause frtm his hear ers. . Saturday was another play day, the feature of which was a trip over the Carolina and Northwestern to Edge- mont, N. C., a pretty little pleasure . resgrLitL JtbeJlLand of the Sky.” A special train was provided for the ed itors and their families under the au spices of the people of York, a large number of whom made the trip. The track was cleared for the press spec ial and only a few stops were made en route. At Edgemoht, wlych is the county seats on Friday, July 14, at 9 a. m. Four year courses lead to the B. A. and B. S.. degrees. A two-year pre medical course is given. A fee tuition scholarsfttp is assigned to each county of the State. Spacious buildings and athletic grounds, well epuipped laboratories, unexcelled library facilities. Expenses moderate. For terms and catalogue, address HARRISON RANDOLPH. Pres. The Saturday Evening Post ex plained lasl week ta its two millions of readers throughout the country what the Torrens system of land titles is and how it works. The Saturday Evening Post makes it all so clear that even the average South Carolina legislator might understand it, if he really tried. For that reason we re produce the explanation in the hope that South Carolina will eventually get the Torrens system, for we fail to see why South Carolina cannot be as sensible as other States where it is in effect,” complains the unusually well informed Aiken Standard. For the benefit of Editor Duncan sund-othera. wiio may have Overlooked ita pas- ■Kge, We krill state that one of the outstanding features of the Manning administration is the passage of an act providing for the Torrens system of land registration, which goes into effect July 1st It is so unusual for the legislature to pass acta of real benefit to the people of the State that Editor Duncan’s oversight is easily understood and forgiven.. “If Watson Bell is wearing his cost during the press meet don’t jump at the conclusion that he wishes to he so well-dressed. He probably fade! to annex that new shirt,”—Abbeville Medium. Shirts are not the only things covered by coats. For instance, there’s the hip pocket. We see in the York News that Wat son Bell is writing about “that foun tain again.” After what happened last week we don’t wonder at the young man’s thirst. * We had no sooner forgotten how tj spell Przemysl and Prxasnysz when here comes the Russian steam roller threatening to push them back in the limelight. After examining the condition of the Association’s exchequer, we beg to inform the brethren that there is , v - . rnttnn It can and should be reme- funds. Another one of the pathetic little features of the press meeting was Joe Sparks trying to keep awake during Dr. Williams’ splendid address. — And what has become of the old- fashioned “boy from Jefferson” who went to York? “The B. V. D. Season is on.”—Edge- field Advertiser. So are the B. V. D.’s. SEASHORE ROUND TRIP FARES FROM BARNWELL.
