NEWSPAPER MEN IN COUNCIL. Afc White Stone Springs-A Large At? tendance-Judge Parker Endorsed Papers Road. WHITS STOTO SPBINGS, July IS.-The newspaper men., of S*>ath Carolina-a goodly amber of these faithful wor&? s, at ieast-^-have laid cum bering cares aside and are csice more assembled i? frater? nal communion. The atten? dance so far is unusually good and there is nothing to jKESP?pt.a. pleasant and" in? structive meeting. These are good citions, they are in a xiHsDst 'channing retreat,* they IsKve a fine programme and the proprietors are leaving noshing undone that will eon ibute to their pleasure. Only one business meeting lias 'been held so far and this was a, particularly interesting occasion. On motion the fol> lowing resolution was unani-J mousiy adopted: -'That this association, ugh its president, convey to Judge A. B. Parker its hearty congratulations ?; and press otir faith in the tick and the party in jNbvem Though only a brief session been heldt affectionate Terence has many-times been le to the the memory of late lamented J. A. Hoyt, >i.e of the ex-presidents of 5Soeiation,'a prominent and honored member^ a useful and itriotic citizen. President Aull will read a jtter to the association, to lonxw from which this ex? tract is "made: *4Mrs. Jas. A. Hoyt and children wish to extend to and through you to the suth Carolina State Pr?ss ?ation, their . sincere ?ianks and appreciation for thehonorancj. attention shown to their beloved dead. The Press association vyas very ;dear to Mm and will ever be to us and their last loving at iemiim to him will _ never be -forgotten. The lovely flowers Tiave faded * * *' but the i^arm hearts and loving hands that placed them on his bier are still-beating true to his * memory." This breathes the spirit of liim whom the members have lost and their w ords will be heard with grateful apprecia? tion by all. The formal proceedings be? gan this morning with a full attendance. That staunch and veteran newspaper man, Mr. Charles Petty, who has Gelded a Spartan pen of in? fluence for many honored years, welcomed the members in behalf of the proprietors of "White Stone. He-also extend? ed a broader welcome for Spartanburg county and was most happy in extending welcoming^wordK that left no .doubt cf their genuine sin? cerity. President Aull spoke in fit? ting response for his brethren and the 30th annual meeting of the South Carolina State Ress association proceeded to business. The annual report of Pr?si? dait Aull first engaged the attention of the brethren. This included mention of the annual trip, paid feeling trib? ute to the late Col. J. H. Hoyt and Mr. T. J. Drew, ex? pressed gratification at the continued interest manifested by the members and express? ed appreciation of the con? tinued honors bestowed upon Iron. The new members received to-day wexe as follows: Rev. H. R. Murchison, Southern Home; Geo. M. Kohn, The State; A. W. Knight, Barn berg Herald, Rev. C. A. Freed, Lutheran Visitor. The courtesies of the asso? ciation were unanimously ex? tended to Mrs. J. H. White of the Augusta Chronicle. The president announced the following committees: Al ?brd. E. J. Lide, J. M. Knight, C. A. Freed and ll L. Freeman on programme. To report suitable r?solu tions on the death of Col. J. A. .Hoyt: R. E. Hemphill, J. B. Towill, A. Kohn, J. M. Knight and \W, K. Stringer. On death of T. J. Drew: C. W. Birchmore, J. Cf Ma ce, 1ST. G. Osteen, J, L. Sims and J. E. Normen! On officers' reports: Ed. H. DeCamp, A. W. f knight, J. L. Stopplebein, L. W. Cheat ham and J. H. Buchanan. f At the afternoon session Secretary langston' read his annual report. This was full and interesting and also con? tained heartfelt reference to the loss sustained by the as? sociation in the death of the lamented Col. Hoyt, and fit? ting referecne to the recent death of Editor T. J. Drew. At the afternoon session papers on business subjects were Tead by Editor A. W. Knight of the. Bamberg Her? ald and Edit?r R. L. Free? man of The Advocate. Broth? er Knight's subject was: "The Job Office in Conjunction With a County Newspaper/' and Brother Freeman read a paper on "The Necessity of Having Fixed. Advertising Bates and Standing by Them." These subjects were well handled, familiarity with the subjects being clearly shown in the strong, terse speeches. Interesting discus? sion followed the reading of these instructive .papers, Messrs. A. W. Knight, N. G. Osteen, J, L. Sims and Ed. H. De?am? participating. At 9 o'clock to-night, Hon. John Temple Graves, the dis? tinguished Georgian, deliver? ed the annual address before the members and every guest of the hotel. Mr. Graves has all the gifts of the born ora? tor and to these he adds a strong personality, His sub? ject, "The Press of America," was most appropria te and was handled even as befitted the reputation and fame of the gifted speaker, Long Branch Defeats Dalzell. The best ball game of the season was played at Dalzell last Saturday evening be? tween that club and Long Branch. Notwithstanding the fact that Messrs. Crawford Sanders and Blanding Du Rant were on hand to do the bat work, the score stood 8 to 7 in favor of Long Branch. Dalzell has a good team, but L?ng Branch is "Long" in the true sense of the word. Hon. A. K. Sanders was the. umpire.-Reporter inWateree Messenger.

By the completion of the new line the Rods Island is counting on getting a large share of the World's Fair traffic from points west of Kansas City. Brutally Tortured A case came to light that for persistent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never been equaled. Joe Golcbick of Coln a, Calif, writes. uFor 15 years I endured insufferable pain from Rheumatism and nothing relieved me thongh I tried every? thing knows. I came across Electric Bitters and it's the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble. A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me." Just as good for Livt-r and Kidney troubles and general debility. Only .r>?c. Satis? faction guaranteed by J. F. VY.

There are even ppopl? w prove this awfail condi? tion hy ..flated example* of indi? vidual a pg*-ii*3 ra cy. But at last we have the final word on the other side. The World's Work devotes itself in Joly to showing the finer side of American life, and to proving, by mos1; interesting: articles and inter? esting pictures, that the conditions are becoming b<m*r every day; that our lichools are better ; that our ap? preciation of art is better; that we buy mpre pictures and books than any other people in the world; that our charities are conducted with more skill and judgment than they ever were before; that there is less dishonesty, and that the cultivation of the arts and of the higher life is macing rapid strides-keeping pace, ia fact, with the great increase in the material advance of the people. Thi.j.helpful review has been worked out with success, and the pictures add very greatly to the interest of the number. Toledo, Ohio, Kuly 12.-Samuel M. Jones, th? golden rule mayor, died at his home this evening at 5.07 o'clock as a, result of a complication of dis? eases. The immediate causes of his dea th was an abscess on bis lungs', the death cf Mayor Jones has caused the greatest sorrow all over the city. He leaves a widow and'three sons, Percy, Pat 1 and Mason Jones. The fire loss of the United States and Canada for the first six months of tbl'5 year aggregates ?172,00,000, as compared with $83,OOO.COO ra 1903. Thu New York Journal of Commerce says: 'The startling feature of the statistics we present is that, deducting the cost of tbe Baltimore conflagra? tion, the losses for the first half of 190t are almost $19,000,000 more than these for the same period of 1903. Th;it fire underwriters should be greatly discouraged in view of tbe fact that insurance rates remain practical? ly unchanged is not surprising. " A cor sider able part of tbe loss is attribut-^ j ed to ? desire to obtain the insurance money, though that is merely an as? sumption. Manila, July 13.-A terrific cloud J3u::st on the hills northeast of this city today caused a flood ?which des? troyed the suburb 'of San Juan Del Mente.

Anderson, July 12.-The trustees of the Florida State Agricultural and Mechanical College seem determined to get a president of that institution from Clemson College, this State. Some time ago the position was offer? ed to Dr. P. H. Mell, the president of Clemson, who declined itL Then the trustees offered the place to Dr. J. S.-Newman, who holds the chair of agriculture at Clemson, and is director of the experimental station. The position pays a better salary than Prof. Newman has been receiving at Clemson, and at first he was disposed to accept it. He made a trip to Flor? ida however, and after looking over the field and familiarizing himself with the conditions there he, too, de? clined the proffered presidency and announced that he would remain at Clemson.
