Although 1 was then several 'cars younger than I am now, there is a fery distinct recollection in my mind of that meeting, and of the royal entertain ment accorded us by the people of Gaffney. However even at that time I realized that there was something lacking. At this meeting the deficincy of twenty-four years ago has been sup- ind there is nothing lacking to he entertainment of the Press Mon complete and perfect.
