The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1894-08-29

captain SAID II was Inc mOSC QuleV auo
peaceful sea that he had seen in months.
We glided along as smoothly as it was
possible, being almst impossible to OBJ
serve the motion of the vessel. This
NAV have been accounted for on the
ground that these editors were just
from turbulent political sea whose
waves have been lashing them to and
fro so fearfully that old ocean determ-
ined to have compassion on them and
give them one quiet and peaceful sail
of a few hours. But withal it was q
most delightful trip. A very appetiz-
ing breakfast was served on board, and
the editors all seemed to have sufficient
relish for it to do even justice and
credit to themselves as storehouses for
palatable viands. The editors were also
disappointed in not seeing a sunrise up
on the ocean, as it was cloudy untilsome-
thing like O'Clock.
There are many places of historic in
terest along the coast which Capt. Hub
bard took pleasure in pointing out and
explaining.
Just before reaching Georgetown We
were met by Mr.. Josiah Doar of the
Georgetown Times, and he was taken
aboard and given a hearty greeting.
All the members Of the association
who were fortunate enough to attend
the meeting at Georgetown few years
ago remember with pleasure the hospi-
tality of these good people, and it went
without saying that when Bro.Doar said
that Mayor Morgan and President Eh-
rich, of the Board Of Trade, with other
citizens of Georgetown, had arranged an
excursion down the beautiful Winyah
BAY for the benefit OF the editors, and
that we would 60 on to the island next
morning, We agreed to turn ourselves
over to the Georgetown people. The
day and evening were pleasantly spent
and next morning we boarded the
Bertie in charge of Capt. A. A. Springs,
and after a two hours ride we were at
Waverly Mills where hacks met us
ana we were taken to beautiful Paw
ley's Island.
The hotel is in charge of Mrs. Win
throp Willisms, the princess of charm
ing hostesses, and the. editors soon
found themselves very much at home.
Two business sessions only were held.
Good papers were read from Messrs.
J. T. Jaynes, S. A. Nettles and &. 6.
Osteen. Mr.. Osteen was the coly one Of
tie three present. The other papers were
read by the president.

The editors were more bent on en-
joying sea bathing and fishing and
grabbing and eating fish and oysters
and crabs than IN attending business
sessions.
The sea bathing was fine and we all
enjoyed it to the full. Before breakfast
and before dinner and after supper we
were all riding the waves and getting
the benefit of the salt water. 1t was
all very fine. Sleep, eat and bathe.
There are no mosquitoes there to dis
turb the serenity of your slumbers.
Mrs. Williams was untiring in her
efforts for the pleasure and comfort OF
her guests and ifoue wants a good quiet
and pleasant place to spend the SUM-
mer I can recommend the Pawley
Island hotel as kept by Mrs. Williams.
Several of our party left on Sunday
afternoon for Georgetown, and We came
down in & little yacht in charge of Capt.
Springs. 1t was the most charming
aud delightful ride of the tip. The
sun was behind the clouds and the
waters of the Waccamaw were placid
and charming and the wind was brac-
ing. We reached Georgetown q little
late for supper but Mr.. and Mrs. But
Ter, Of the Winyah hotel, soon impro-
vised good spread for Us and We were
stored away 10 dream of the many
pleasan things we had left behind.
Altogether it was most delightful
trip. Next year We are to meet in the
hustling town of Sumte-, and the OIL
GERS hope to arrange a pleasant trip,
and we want every member Of the
association to arrange his affairs to at
tend the meeting. E. 3. AULL.
