"cio III iuii ioTcc, auOut one nun
dred strong, (mentally and physi.
cally). The famous Ebbitt House ia
headquarters and the mem bers of the
Press Gang" have been gather
ing In for two or three days, and
are not all here yet. This hotel is
one OF the finest in the city, and is
Army and Navy headquarters cor
the officers. The regular rates are
from 81 TO So per day, and every
meal is a banquet. The President
OF the Association secured "a special
rate of So for the editors, so that as
we are only hero for day'or two.
going and coming, the cost is not
very much after all, and editors of
country papers from the back coun.
ties of the State are here putting on
as much style as Major General
In the army. An excursion was
given yesterday by tho palatial
steamer "Charles Manchester" to
Mount Vernon, the home of Wash
ington. Quite number of the
editors spent the afternoon viewing
historic scenes, and attended the
various theatres of the city last
night.
Most Of the editors are accom-
panied by some member OF their
family. wife, daughter, son or sis
ter, and all in all, there will be at
least one hundred, when we all get
together, and it is likely that the
crowd will divide up and part leave
on the ll:15 a. m. train and the
rest at 4:40 p. m. 1t takes about
eighteen hours to make the run to
Atlanta on the fast trains over the
Great Southern Railway, which is
the only line entering the Exposi-
tiou grounds. This system controls
about five thousand miles of rail
way and is the best road to the
Exposition. The General Agent,
by the way, is Mr.. l.. S. Brown, of
this city, and of course he does
things up Brown.
The headquarters of the West
Virginia editors at Atlanta will be
at the Hotel Oriental. The mana.
gers OF the Exposition will tender
the Association an informal recon.
ton at the grounds and present
them with admission tickets during
their stay.
President Reed gives out the fol-
lowing list of the party composing
