The .at tendanoe is plready large. It Pros ises p,bq,a oxoeptioslly fina gat-: ering Gogetown is a wide-awal. and *pvpewie city, *nd those wli qVgAW to And anagquated plam were surprised to see a bustling, go ahpd eqmpuAnity. Georgetswe-b.st recently put on its hustling clothes, s althoug one of the banniers that w"s pqt out on thestreets in honor of the Prom Amoiation said that tb p ei y wV -founde4 in 149. it has decided twentieth century look and manner. Very often that industrial spirit crushes the finer p"a of lQs pitality, but is not so in GeQmge town. It has been my fortune to at bend many of the reass utings of the Asnociation and othec- oes twos, but -never hve I seeajab genuine' hospitality. "HoMesa j hearts" were thrown open to thk editors, as Mayor Morgan said, aW when he spoke of throwing open the doors of th 4omas to ." editrs it was no aere figure of speech; it was a fact. Th*- details of the arrange ments were excellent, and it is _well to record that these good people easily hold the banner for genuine hospitality, which in thqe diys of hule and commercialism is far too rare. The whole people are anxious to do ther best, and to show th%t, although the commercial dawn is bright in their city, that there still lingers here that sweet and cordial hospitality for whioh it is po fsmons. _1ea8 Goinmitte hame been so tive, have been attentive, have met all the trains, have provided for the nnrntnet and pleasure of the guests, have anticjigated the wants of the visitors, have mapped out and ar ranged special trips and entertain anents, and altogether ha.ve made thingadlightfuL. Gieoqgetown is a ehprmiing place to visit 4 anytime, busuo re so mg thps nsnal, espally.io when t( whole' populace is acting as hosts. The committees .in charge have arranged all sorts. oftplensant feastures, boat rides, excurions, firemen's parades and-thejike-ait when the week closes the e4itoragew likely to be epoiled. The prograu.me provides for three whole days and pretty much all of the ights here, and as the editors of South Carolina helped to open up the Exposition at Charleston, the discriminating foresight of President Anll has anggested that itwould be becoming Ig the aditretegelp in~ the~ lokipg of theSQaion, ad it possible the whole band will go from here to Charleston on Sa.urday morning The newspaper men are all most pleasantly quartered and every pos sible attention for their enjoyment and convenience is being lavisbed upon them SPsaCEEs OF WELCOME. The first meeting 'was called to order by President AoJl., who called on tbe Bay. Mr. Johnson, who opened the session with prayer. MsygrW D. Mrgap,tie.man who has broug4t Georgetown so con spiously to. the attention of the public, was presented and delivered a well rounded address to the editors. Mr. Morgan is not a gusher, but is a worker, and what little he said was P to the point. He referred to the, visit of the Press Association to Georgetown eleven years ago, and said some pleasant things about the influecee of dampit water, and how the drinking of that water acted as a magnet in attracting those who once drank it. Be spoke of the hearty welcome that Georgetown offered to the editors, anad for their informa tion he spoke of the wonderful in dustrial strides that have been made by the city. He wanted this meet ing to be so pleasant that the edi to. would etinen to Georgetown| next y.ar aud the oext year and for si an tin. b Then Mr. Walter Hazard, chair man of the oommittees, and presi. r dent of the board of trade, made a s vost happy speeoh of welcome and t( grew quite eloquent on the. power, t opportunities and responsibilities of n 4ewppr ediors, **d of this he w pid speak wjih Omphasis,. because t< he had himself been an editor. He g told of how glad Ife was to welcme tL the.Pditors to Georgetown and how st loppy his peoplp were to be able to bi show, the visitors sbt their city was 01 "stlly moving ahead, and that it ol was in the lead. It was a pleasant ic day for Georgetown and he hoped a w hapy Q" fo tp pdiw. E Thwe ho ,toqkUp4heSp4usp of the ai editors a4d showed in a pretty word m pioure ou they ha& all worked for ti th9..vaAal gp4 of tho4tate and di towns and how they were generally ti on the side of that which was right ti and just and manly. He portrayed, as only. coqld one who knew, the oi triats and tribulations of the average gi editor and how he bore up, poorly ra paid and "ogse"' all the while, ti working for the good of his people to ajd wonnity. The newspapers tb Wr, he piid, great powers of pi modern civilization and the calling re of the editor ppred and high. In ot winding up he grew facetious some- in what at the expense of Mayor Mor- es gan, on whom he got the laugh be cause of his single b ness, and yc for himself the hearty applause of Ni the gathering. . vi RhSPOlSEs FoR THE PRES. th President Aull was sandwiebed be s tween a brilliant talker and a bright n woman, but to the credit of the As- H sociation, he acquitted hinvelf hand i somely, as he always does, and made at a gracef acknowledgment of the oordial welcome given the Associa- ell tion. To help him out be called on va Mrs. Virginia D. Young, whose visit or bore emphasized the revolution some to eleven years ago, when she was 0o lected a member of the Association W4 at Geortown. Now whatever may be said of wo. in an'srghs.rthegte of the gen- hi ter sex, it mpst be said t.hat the 5 hief exponent of that view, Mrs. E. Virginia D. Young, is an awfully sK Olever and bright little champion. th She said a great many bright things, th but she was qpite sarcastic when she referred to the pwsagumph in the cir- ra enlar of info:mstion which read: pr 'Transratigenwill also~ be pro videdfotone 'deendeg&demalIe.' " ch gpWv*e grssipads- female" O grated on her finer sense worse than fr a crowbar would on a piece of silk. an She admitted .that it almost made ar ber sick mnd then she spoke of what se she thought was the lovely mutual m iter dependence of husband and ta ife, and how the expression grated de Qn her libe , poisgned burr. The Ti word "feiln- w Isdess. to geese is and she wanted to know if the wo. be mn were to be compared with geese. so The great joy of these meetings ar was that here the women and menm enj)yed absolute equality, and it was a stop in the unity of humanity. On Mrs. Young's little talk made a SIJ decided hit. liL THE PRESIDENT's REPORT. ne The reports of officers was then e taken up. The first report read was * that of President Elbert H. Aull, un i der whose administration the Asso- he iation has prosperad as it has never fo bfore in all its histpry. His report red em follows: se In accordance with the requirments be of the constitution I beg to submit to my annual report: to 1. I recall but two deaths among uti the bretksen during the year, L. C. th Ligon, of the Aiken Journal and Re- to view, and B. W. Ball, of the Laur- Ni ens Advertiser. Mr. Ligon was ac- co tively identified with the Association Ti and his whole time was given to his pc newspaper work. We shall miss his nc genial presence and wise counsel at It our annual meetings. Col. Ball was th not an active member of this Asso- pl ciation and was an editor more for ; m the love of the work than any other |re consideration. A successful lawyer jtb by profession, yet for many years he dc was an editorial writer of rare force c and marked ability. You will take fo itable action on the death of these rethren. 2. In accordance with yrnr di wctions at the IaFt annual meoting, a ecial meeting was held in Charles in early in December and the kt indance was remarkably good. The teeting was before the Exposition as ready, but as our purpose was o help the Exposition we desired to 3 early and get a general idea of te scope of the great show, feeling ire that the members would go ick during its progres. for their wn comfort. However, I . think all the members who were present en yed the Charleston meeting. It as the purpose to go back to the xposition in a body if it could Le -ranged. Owing to the date of our eeting we could not arrange a day, ough we might go back on Satur y and see the Exposition close, and is can be done on the way home, if e members so desire. 3. The executive committee held e or two meetings and the pro -amme for this meeting was ar nged and has been published. The ne was referred to your president, be fixed after consultation with e people of Georgetown, and the esent date was agreed upon for the ason that it did not conflict with her public functions in tbe State which the members were inter ted. 4. At your last annual meet ing u failed to elect delegates to the itional Editorial AssociNtion. In aw of this fact and witb the hope at the Association might be repre ted, the executive c,mmittee med J. L. Stoppelbein, J C. Amphill and F. H. McMaster, int )elieve none of them were able to Lend. 5. The executive committoo )cted Col. J. H. Estill, of the S" anah Morning News, as annual ator for this year and we bad hoped have him wich us. He accepted t ly conditionally. About th ree . eks ago he wrote me saying it nld be impossible for him to come, asmch as he was in the midst of Scampaign for Governor. I thent nred the services of Col. Julius Boggs, and did this without con ting the executive committee, as j time was sbort and we wanted at hour on the programme filled. 6. No annual trip has been ar aged from this meeting. I had a oposition from Mr. J. WV. Smith, a thern representative of the Mer- 1' ants' and Miners' Transportation impany, to take the Association >m Norfolk to Boston, and a nmee d comfortable trip could have been ranged. I advertised the trip and ~ d that if 'reqnests came from ast my as twenty the trip could be t en. Only about ten indicated a i sire to go and it was abandoned. e ie proposition of this company t still open and arrangements may)' made later. I have hoped thbat V ne time during this year we might t range a trip to California. This iy be discussed at thbis meeting. 7. For several meetings we had on r programme a paper by Mr. Yates owden on "Scraps of South Caro .a Journalism." This paper has ver been completed. I would sng t that Mr. Snowden be requested continue his paper and that when is completed he be requested to ye it printed in permanent 8. In the minutes of 1894 the 1. retary, Mr. C. H.
