THE PRESS MEET AT GREEN VILLE. The annual meeting of the South Carolina State Press Association held in Greenville last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday was one of the most pleasurable and profitable in every way in the as;sociation's his tory. The people of Greenville left nothing undone to make the news paper men have a g)od time, and the papers real and talks made before the association were exceptionaliy and uniformly good. Then the Rap assembly was in session at Green vill: at the same time and some of the newspaper ml en took advantare of the opportunity to hear such men as Dr. G. W. Truett, of Dallas, Texas, said to he the greatest Bap tist pr Lacher in the world, and Dr. B. Y. Mullins, president of the Bap tist Theological Seminary of Louis ville, Ky., and others. Wednesday night members of the association had special seats to hear Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy dur ing President Wilson's administra tion, tell about what the American navy accomplish d luring the World War. The plrincipal speech before the )pres association was made by Mr ('ourtlanl Smith. of New York, and Was one of the best anl most prac tical ever heard by that body. W'ednesdav afternoon members of the association were entertained at an elaborat luncheon at the United States Hospital at Camp Se vier and shown through the immens< plant. Thursday afternoon they were guests of the Greenville Ki wanis Club at an enjoyable luncheor and Thursday evening they wer< guests of citizens of Greenville at : brilliant banquet, both at the Otta ray hotel. There were other goo( things at these affairs besides some thing to eat. What we mean by thi is that there were happy talks an( some good singing and music. Th( meeting was brought to a close or top of Paris Mountain where a rea old fashion pienic was enjoyed Fri day afternoon. It might be mentioned here tha Pa ris mountain is becoming a popu lar summer r esort and a goodly num her of summer homes 'dot its sides Trhe mountain is saidI to be 2,50( feet above sea level-1i,000 fe' higher than the city of Greenville and the elimate th re is delightful no0w. Amongi those who will sp~end this summer there are Governor and Mrs. Cooper. Newspaper men from other sec tias of the state d id not hesitate to state as t hir opinion that Green - ville' is the b yst and most progressive cit y in South C'arolina--a thin. we P'iedmnit People have known for a long tim .Those who had not visit.. ed Greenillie ini sever'al years mar veledl at it- gr'wth. Tlhere : 2Ir:at diti'erene be t ween thle me~etings of the asso)cia tion now anid those before the- dlays of the terribl e thirst, anad we don't mind s-avi::e that most of the dif ference is in favor of' the present styl.. An ou tsider would not have known1 but that the editors wvere pro minent hivmetn or preachers attend mig the Baptist assembly. One no ticeable thing was that not as many editors brought their wvives along this time as usual. We do not know why. Among those attending the meet ing wa Larry~ T. Gantt, a veteran in the newspaper game and an in teresting and unique character. Mr. Gantt was wvith The Pickens Senti.. nel a short time about twelve years ago and sent regards to his friends in Pickens. He expects to spend a few days in Pickens this summer. In a short talk before the associa tion Mr. Gantt said he was respon sible for the old dispensary system * being introduced in South Carolina, * ~and that while he was nowv repent ing in sack cloth and ashes for his part in it, he wvas afraid that he hadl committed the unpardonable sin. The following officers of the as sociation wvere elected: H. G. Os teen, Sumter, president; ,J. Rion Me Kissick, Greenville, first vice presi dlent; 0. K. WVilliams, Rock'ill, sec ond vice president; H. C. Booker, Columbia, secretary; August Kohn, Columbia, treasurer. Most of the success of the Green ( ~ville meeting is dhue the newspaper mien. of Greenville. Messrs. B. H. of the News, J. Rion McKissick and Geo. R. Koester, of the Piedmont, were constantly and unceasingly working for the success of the meet ing and pleasure of the visitors. Never did men show more untiring zeal, finer skill and tact than did these choice spirits of the newspaper world. God bless 'em every one. Just before final adjournment each of the visiting newspaper men and ladies were presented with a souvenir of the occasion--a neat box containing three nice handkerchiefs which were made in Greenville. Those attending the press meet from Pickens county were D. W. Hiott, Jr., of The Easley Progress, C. T. Martin, of Easley, and Gary Hiott, of The Pickens Sentinel. Walter E. Duncan, who is comp troiler zeneral of South Carolina, is .lso editor of the Aiken Standard. :..::jo .'e . the meetin.:. G... f the mHost drmatie inci .::.....the association's history t.:..i.e at the Thursday afternoon : sier.. when two pupils of the Bran 'n4 mil1 adult school appeared be fore th, as-ociation and gave a prac tienl demonstration of the wonderful w.ork being done at that school. L. M. Brown, one of the pupils-a fine, intelligent looking man-stood be -:c the association and told how he had been unable to get any school ing whatever when a boy. In a simple, earnest way he told how he was induced to go to his first school when he was 48 years of age, and -with much feeling told of his great joy at now being able to read and write. "I can read your news papers," he said, "and, thank God, I -an read the Bible." Mr. Brown presented a young 'man of the Brandon village whom he said was a soldier in France dur ing the war and who could not write to his wife. This man who attended the adult school for nine months last session then read a selection on "How Horace Greeley Became a Printer." Following the speeches of the two men members of the as sociation spoke strongly in favor of the work being done by the Illiter acy Commission and pledged it their hearty support. The members of the association were deeply touched by the remarks of. the two men. After thanking the two pupils by a rising vote for appearing before the association, the members crowd ed around them to shake their hands. SAYS VOTE FOR BONDS.
