HERALD, accompanied hy his wife
joinad lh. members Of the press asso
cistion in Columbia on the 10th for {
grand frnlic in Atlantu. The arrange
meuts were made 10 20 by way of tnt
Seaboard Air Line from Columbia vi;
Clinton. President Ault, Of tie S'a;e
Press Association, and scVtrei othe;
membero were tbt first to grse u OK
the street, of Columbia, and BY Inc
time the yalious trains had arrived 81
the car-shed the party was sWelled se
q respectable number. There was
some little delay in leaving Columol7:
but this was a matter ef but small
moment on run of such distance, toi
the time was easily made up. The
road bsd is one of the fuest in the
c,untry and is rock ballasted, the
rocks being laid with mathematical
exactne<> xnd appears to be one long
SQUARE cut stone as it is viewed from
the rear coach. The Seaboard's con-
nec,ion at Columbia is made by the
Columbis, Newberry ahd LsurenS
road, running from Columbia to Clln-
ton. Mr.. ", &. ChIlds, of Columbia,
is president, and separate tickets were
issued over his road bu; no change OF
cars
1t Clinton we took the G. c. s \.
track, which is short line from At
lsnta 70 New York. This is one Of the
competing lines between Atlanta and
New York, and the competition is
sharp. This line leads through Clin-
ton, Greenwood, Abbeville, Elberton,
Athens, and man! o!her smaller places
in South Carolina and Georgia.
TIE trip was made without Incident,
and about 645 we reached the busy,
bustling, rafting, rumbling city of
Atlanta. The association was met at
the depot by Secretary Langston, Of
the Anderson htelligencer, who had
made every arrangement, and the mat
ter OF checks, baggage, passes, hotels
and other matters were turned over to
him at once. The members proceeded
at once 10 the Oriental Hotel where Al
rangemen's bad already been made by
the secretary. After removing some
of the dust and cinders we entered the
spacions dining hall, which is operated
on the European plan, and supplied
the call of the inner man.
Thg South Carolin:ans in tie city of
Atlanta have South Carolina society,
and the association had been invited to
attend q reception at the society's quar-
ters at 9 O'Clock. There We met the
South Carolina colony, it might be
called, aud a most hearty welcome
was ex;en''ed by Mr.. W. F. Calhoun,
the president. Mr.. Aull responded OF
the part of tie South Carolina Press
association. There were several
p,eches by various members which
bespoke welcome, ca>e and good will.
Editors Darlington, Hoyt, Bacon and
Others spoke for the association, while
Editor Horton, of the Atlanta Journal,
Mr.. Cobb, rising young lawyer OF
Atlanta, aud several otter resident
South Caro!inians made speeches. The
meeting was very hospitable one and
the press association were made 10
feel that they were among brother
Ca! a,in!ans.
After adjournment our reporter &C.
com mpanied DR.. A B. Patterson, a
former South Carolinian, 10 his hospi-
table home by previous arrangement.
The manager of the Exposition, ever
alive to the emergency, had besought
every family in Atlanta to arrange for
q few guests in case the city was
crowded. A committee Of thirty men
cauvassed the city and secured the
arrangement Of every available room
in the city. DR.. Patterson and family
moved from Barnwell, and while our
reporter and his wife remained with
them they felt st all times as if they
were amongst lifelong friends and
acquaintances from home, every effort
being made for their comfort and ccn-
renience.
70 speak of the Exposition is task,
it would tske a book to describe 1t.
First, however, we will mention that
the man who speaks of it ss estate
Fair bad better learn OF the fate Of
AnaAias and Saphira.
Tne grounds were laid IF amongst
the red hills of Georgia, and the grad
ing, eeva'ion, drainage and walks
make it beautiful place. The entire
grounds and buildings CAN be observed
fr,m an eninence on the grounds,
which is a great advantage over hst,
level situation. The drives and walks

spot. E ectric launches are provided
