SOPlilA KITTLE 5EN HEALTH VERY We had the pleasure of attending the Press Association at Gaffney last week Gaffney did herself proud on that occision. The guests were enter tained at Limestone College while in Gaffney.—Farmers Union Sun. The Press Association, which con vened last w r eek at Gaffney, was one long to be remembered by the news paper men of the State. The town of Gaffney has always been noted for its charming hospitality and the ease with which it makes all of its visitors feel at home.—Summerville News. A lack of space and time prevents us trom making good our promise of last week to write up that delightful trip .to Gaffney. The pleasures of this trip were so very fascinating and en joyable for us to forget, and there fore as we have no limited time, in which to tell our readers, we feel that we are not robbing any one by the postponement. We have a whole ! twelve months ahead in which to tell j of this delightful treatment by the : people of Gaffney and the many cl B?d Coilgh. pleasures will forever remain in our memory.—Dorchester Eagle.

After adopting resolu tions of thanks to all who had so kindly aided in making the of press gang so pleasant, the meeting adjorned to meet in Greenville next year by special invitation.

The advent of the automobile has proved a serious menace to the sur face of the roads, and the purpose of this congress is to bear opinions of experts on the subject aud to con dense them into a practical idea of the treatment and care of the surface of a road.

The United States government has made several tests at Washington late ly, principally by taking photographs of the clouds of dust raised by each automobile, going at different rates of speed at from five to sixty miles an hour. These dust clouds were weighed in order to determine how much of the surface of the road was taken off by a motor going at an ex cessive rate of speed.

Meeting of Press Association. (Bishopville Leader and Vindicator.) The Editor with his two daughters, j meetings in full, but will simply say Misses Imo and Lutie, attended the annual meeting of the State Press Association which met at Gaffney last week. Nothing of interest occurred along the route except that we noted form the car window, that the crops above Columbia were small as compared to the Lee county crops. But any one at all acquainted with the nature of these red clay lands, know that they ne\ er grow off as fast as those of the sandy lands of the low country. We arrived at Gaffney about 4:30 A. M., but at that early hour found that the whole soul Ed. DeCamp, Edi tor of the Gaffney Ledger, and the hospitable people of that thriving and enterprising little city, had tak en the Association in charge as their guests and a carriage was soon driv en up to the depot and took us out to Limestone College, where the As sociation was holding its session. Limestone Colleg# is situated on the outskirts of the city about one mile from the business section. The site is an ideal one for a college and contains large lawns shaded by ma jestic oaks and covered with pretty grasses, well kept. Dr. Lee Davis Lodge is the President and moving spirit that has Drought Limestone Col lege to the front rank of female sem inaries in the State, ably assisted by Prof. Griffith. There were 200 stu dents enrolled during the session just closed and Gaffney may well be proud of her female college. It was founded In 1845 and the main building was built the same year, but has been added to from time to time to meet its growing needs. After some routie business, the good people of Gaffney headed by that prince of good fellow Ed.

In addition to the superb dinner that was served, beer was available for all who had a thirst. About two years ago some Pitts burg capitalists bought these shoals in order to utilize its power. They now have the development complete and in operation. They Lave five large dynamos but only one required to furnish what power is now needed. It won’t be long before Spartanburg and other near by cities will use it for light and street cars. The editors were not only delighted because of the pleasures provided, but to see such substantial develop ments on every hand, and will ever cherish in their heart a fond remem brance of Ed. DeCamp anu the good people of Gaffney. The last meeting of the association was held Tuesday night during which excelent papers were read by Col. T. B. Crews, of the Laurensvllle Herald, and Mr. N. G. Osteen, of the Sumter Watchman and Southron, giving an interesting account of their early life in the printing office.
