Nellie and I went to the Thomson house, a very pleasant place, and the others went to the home of friends. I do not think that we made much impression on the town but received some favorable impressions from it. We know of no town anywhere the size of Blacksburg that has nearly so much cement pavement on its side walks, especially in the residence section. The streets mostly bear the names of neighboring towns, Chester being thus honored. At the hotel, the only familiar face was that of Mr. Julius Schiff. There were quite a number of guests, how ever. Some of them talked a great deal; others not so much; we didn’t talk any—excepting a little to Mr. Schiff. I heard a lady, evidently from the North, remark about the facility with which one falls into the ways of those with whom she associates, and adopts their forms of expression. She had already found herself using the expression “you all,” though she had not yet got so far as to use it, as she heard it used on one occasion, when referring to a single person. The tobacco man. Harvey, who is very deaf, amused the company preaching negro sermons and repeat ing his own poetry, a book of which he has written. Having communicated with Gaffney by telephone, when we arrived there, nearly midnight, Mr. Junius Parrott was there with carriages to meet us and we were soon at Limestone Col lege, where we are the guests of the people of Gaffney and all the meet ings are held. Saying that these good people have broken the record in the reception and entertainment accorded the news paper people need not be regarded as detracting from the honors due other places for hospitality. Gaffney, under the leadership of Ed H. DeCamp, editor of The Ledger, has simply reached a notch never reached be fore. Everybody seems to be a mem ber of the reception committee, and signs of "Welcome to the .S. C. Press Association” are displayed in almost every window. Tuesday morning the meeting was called to order by President E. H. Aull. In addition to the usual prayer, it was deemed appropriate to have a praise service. Col. James T. Bacon, of Edgeiield, a skillful musician, pre sided at the piano and the long me tre doxology and "My Country Tisof Thee” were sung, followed, on the piano, by Loose in Georgia.”. Then by request of the president, the Rey. A. M. Simms, D, 1)., pastor of the Baptist church, led in prayer. Dr. Jacobs, the chaplain, being absent. Addresses of welcome were deliver ed by Prof. H.
