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.

.::.....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.
