He has server 7 the association for several years, and lh< \ r -members were unanimous in tendering Jiim a re-election, but he would not con .sent to aocept it. No man has evei -been more faithful to a trust, than ha: :Col. Orews to this. He has been th< . .very life of the association which owes its existence at times to him.

TtvoTrlp to CwBai-'H Head.' 1 The junior representative of tho Ah- t beville Mkssknueu, at the l'ress Asso- r ciation, availed himself of the oppor- f tunity to visit Ciesar's llead and the s neighboring points of interest. The pleasant party, of which he was a mom- t her, added no little to the enjoyment. I Leaving Greenville about half-past ' eight in the morning, the party jour neyed together, until the sun in tho ' heavens and the condition of ni:in and 1 beast plainly indicated it was time to | refresh the inner man. Lunch hud been t furnished by the hotels, and the cooling < draughts which came forth from the < ' spout spring," served alwiie to wash it ' down. After a rest of an hour or so, I we continued to wend our way up the < mountain, admiring on all sides the 1 grandeur and magnificence of the scones 1 ! which met tho-eyo. The ride proved a ' long one, but the bracing atmosphere ! i soon refreshed all sulliciently to enjoy < the evening in the various amusements 1 ! suggested by their ago ond condition Dr. Miles, tho proprietor of Cicsar's i . Head hotel, took pleasure in explaining the many advantages of this location, , and in pointing out the various points ' I of interest. i . Friday morning the party assembled . at the breakfast table, and after finishing , that repast, all were soon ready for a ' trip to the Head, which is situated only & short distance from the hotel. The f spectacle which presented itself to I view, surpasses all description; to ap, preciate it fully, one has to see it. Such expressions as "grand," "magnificent," ' "beautiful," spontaneously burst forth from the lips of all. After admiring the j views, the party began an exploring ex, pedition, and such pluces as the "Lion's Mouth," the l)evil:s Dining Room, &c., were soon found. * Arrangements had been made before r leaving Greenville for the party to dine I at the "Hotel de Uower," situated about , five miles west of Cajsar's Head. This hotel is kept by Mr. T. C. Gower. of ' Greenville, and is one of the inosi de lightful situations of the many summer r resorts in this section. The scenery } surrounding it is magnificent, the cli mate delightful and tho water as pure 3 and as cold us can be found anywhere, s Mr. Gower entertained the party by tuk ing them over his newly constructed riifill Ul'flilfiU'd MiViintoin a?' highest points ol' the Ulue Ridge. The 1 dinner given ut the Hotel de Gower was nil that the most dainty epicure - could desire, and the "Press Gang" left there impressed with the fact that summer tourists would find it hard to select a better place to ?pend a part of their time than at the Hotel de Gower. , On our way back to Caesar's Head, the . party went l?y the falls known as "Ha' ven's Cliff," and after seeing them felt ' repaid for travelling over the rather relish road to tliein. The Head was - reached about dark uiul after partaking e of *>110 of Dr. Miles' good suppers, the L, party wns ready for another evening's amusement. ' B The next day was spent in visiting 8 the different points of interest near - Ccasar's Head, among them, the Cliff G and the Bluff, and on the next day the party started down the mountain for Greenville, reaching that place ahout ' six o'clock in the evening, and all were - glad they had ta) en the trip.
