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

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?

field Advertiser. So are the B. V. D.’s.

In announcing my candidacy for the

that if elected two things will engage
my earnest attention:
First. The adequate pensioning of
Confederate Veterans and widows of
Veterkns, and
Second. The release of cotton grow
ers from the spoliation of the New

demoralized these gentlemen in 1913
and with the cooperation of other
members of the Legislature I can com
