The effect of the decision Of the

NOTES BY THE WAY

Leaving Richmond on Monday morn
ing in a special coach attached 70 the
regular train. our party Was hurried to
Washington. There we we're quarter
ed at the Metropolitan Hotel. that long
time headquarters for South Caroinlans.
Here we were scarcely settled before
South Carolinlans. DOW residents Of
Washington, began to call and extend
the haod of welcome.
Some Of these were old friends. others
were strangers in all save that they
claimed South Carolina as home, but
this made a vast difference and all
proved their friendship for the news
paper men before We bad been many
houra in the city. None we're more
jealous in our service aud to none we're
we more indebted than to Capt. John
G Capers, of the Department OF JUS
tice, formerly vice president of the
Association. Mr.. R. NJ. Larner,
Washington correspondent of the Ners
and Courier, and Messrs. lngraham,
Brautly. Bradley, Wannamaker and

The first afternoon was devoted 20
visit to Mt. Vernon. The trip was
made by boat to Alexandria and thence
by electric railway 10 Mt. Vernon.
The party reached Alexandra too late
for the last regular car for Mt. Vernon
but Mr. Holden, the Superintendent of
the electric railway very kindly placed
a special car at our disposal and took
charge himself The run Of eight
miles to Mt. Vernon was made in re-
cord breaking time in order to reach
the destination before the gates were
closed. Unfortunately We arrived
few minutes late and found the gates
closed, and this proved the occasion Of
the single unpleasant ipciden: of the
entire trip. The gate-keeper could not
admi, the party, as it was positively
against orders, but after time Mr.
Harrison Dodge. the superintendent of
the place was summoned. aod he co.,
descended in very ungracious and ne
mannerly way to permit the party to
enter the precincts. A polite but de-
cided refusal to allow the party to visit
the home and tomb of Washington on
that afternoon would have been less un-
pleasant than the admission so snarl-
ingly granted BY Mr.. Dodge, who from
appearances one would take to be
gentleman Nevertheless, the points
of interest around the place we're visit
ed. under the guidance Of Mr. Dodge
aud an old negro, the latter as polite
aud attentive as the former was the
contrary. Too much has been written
about Mt. Vernon of the past and Mt
Vernon as restored in recent years for
the writer to undertake to add any
thing A visit to Washington should
include halliday spent at the old
home Of Washington this place is so
filled with historic associations that one
is<amply repaid for the time and 'rou-
BILE required to visit it.
The remainder OF the time in Wash.
iDgton was spent in doing the sights
as the saying goes. Aud it must be
said that the editors we're hard work
ing and paiustakiug set. The zeal
With which they rushed from one place
to another, beneath that torrid sun,
with lava-like asphalt pavements under
foot was worthy of all emulation.
They went everywhere possible 10 the

foot.worn. But none grew weary OF
the effort aud none gave up while they
remained in Washington
President Cleveland gave the party
special audience on caLlnes day,
which we we're Informed was an un-
usual mark of consideration Capt.

The success of tbe annual excursion
of the South Carolina State Press
Association and the enjoyment of all
the members thereof was due to the care
and uDwearied efforts Of President
AuIl. Secretary Laogston, and Mr.. J.

of the Atlantic Coast Line. To Mr.
Morris. the Association was especially
indebted, for he assumed the personal
direction Of all the arrangements ts for
transportation both going 70 and return
ing from Washington AS a testimo-
MA! of the appreciation of the Asso-
citation, Mr. Morris was presented With
