The Trip to Charleston.
Glorious Day, a Merry Party,
a Warm Welcome and
Hearty Good Cheer Make
The Visit 10 the Warships an Event
in the History of the Session.

The legislative excursion made
yesterday to the City by the Sea was
facile princeps the event of the ses
sion of 1897. Charleston, in peace
or in war. does all things we'll and
best of all, if we are to be guided by
the expressions Of opinion of those
who partook of her hospitality yes.
terday she shines in those affairs OF
life where warm heart and willing
hand are quickened for the stranger
within her gates.
Charleston's hospitality is by n:
means an unknown equation to the
good people of Columbia, and the an
nouncement that an invitation had
been extended to the Legislature to
come and share it was to the Legisla
ture like motion to lay on the table
it was undebateable. There was
rush for the tickets, hot cakes wern'l
in the race with them, everybody
wanted to go whether legislator,
State official, even taxpayer or not
A great many more tickets were is
sued than Charleston had bargained
for but Charleston's entertainment
partakes of the nature Of her sunny
smiles and her sea breezes; there is
always enough and to spare Every
man, woman and child who went. and
their name was legion, about 600 in
all, were welcomed with generous
cordiality and received the good
hand of fellowship as warmly as If it
were for his or her especial benefit
that the trip was proposed.
The day was great one for
Charleston 1t was "the" day OF
the blockade week aud the city was
thronsed with visitors The national
government was represented in the
person of Secretary Herbert Of the
Navy aud many of The brightest
stars in the "Union Jack " Among
them Admiral Bunce and Rear Ad-

coterie of those who make the others

ways, to their just deserts, the rep

the house took up the disponsary

pleting its consideration when the
hour for recess came. Enough was
seen to show that the bill would pass

would be done with the dispensary

There was a long debate, and it was
finally defeated by majority of only
one. There were three Senator'S al
