e, IT seems from some letters we have
received that somc OF the members
have forgotten tho, date of tho annual
meeting OF tho State Press Associa-
tion,gso we reprint the programme in
full as issued by the Secretary some
two months ago. AS we understand it
the Secretary had assurances from all
tho brethren appointed that they would
perform tho duties assigned them. !:
Mr.. Yates Snowden will continue
his paper on tho history Of Journalism
in South Carolina, and u place will be
made for him. Gen. II. II. Hemphill
is also expected to give q paper on
school histories, but his name was in
advertently left from the programme
whenit was first issued. A place will
be made for both these brethren.
We desire to state also for the benc-
fit of our friends in Newbcrry. that tho
sessions of the Association will be held
in the opera house and that all of the
meetings arc open to the public, and we
will DO glad to have the citizens at
tend. We have no secret or executive
