We publish IL minute and exhaustive
account OF tho trip OF tho editors to
Nashville from tho pen OF Mr.. August
kohn which must tako tho place Of
any detailed description by III. 1t IL
fuller and bottcr than anything We
could wrlto and any ono contemplating
visit would do wull to rnnd this art
icle.
The first stop was mndo at Clinton
and included mainly visit to tho
Thornwcll Orphanagc. Tho work be-
ing done at this place and the magni-
tndo Of the work was u revelation to
many Of tho editors. Wc had bean
there before and knew something Of
what was b0ing dono IT. IL ono OF the
noblcst charities in South Carolina and
tho Press Association could not have
made better uso Of the funds than to
give 800. 90 to this WORK us it did nnnn.

The stop ut Chattanooga WAS delight
ful, aud the visit to lookout Mountsin
and tho drive to oChirkamaIEa National
Park wore pleasant and Instructive.
The long limos OF monuments told
whcrc the boys in blue and gray met in
deadly conflict, and while all tho mar
bio and bronHe shafts tell where the
lines OF the Fcdcrals were, yet right in
front OF thcm were tho boys in gray.

The Exposition is very good. Better
we believe than tho Atlanta show,
though one exposition is very much
like another. Those In charge OF the
Centennial make it vc"y pleasant for
tho visitors. You are mudo TO feel
that they are glad to 500 you, and they
do not want to see YOU inst for the
money they cnn make out OF you. Our
party arc specially indebted to Maj. A.
w. Wills und Mr.. f.. =. Jones for cour-
tcsics extended
As Mr.. Kohn shows, the expense OF
t." trip can be made very much TO your
own liking or desire.

We were there on Tennessee day,
and Gov. Taylor was very attentive to
our party. In the cxercises in the au-
ditorium South Carolina wns ably rep
resented by Lieutenant Governor Me-
Sweeney and Gen. r. Il. Homphill,
both III whom did credit to their State.
Their speeches were good and made n
good impression and were well re-
ccivcd by the largo audience.

The Scub0nrd Air Line and the Wes-
tern and Atlantic, and Nashville, Chat
tunoogn and St. Louis railroads were
exceedingly kind to us In handling
our purity, and were untiring In their
efforts to serve us. Mr.. J. Ii. Latimer
came to Ncwberry and went with ny us
far III Chattanooga. General Pnssen-
ger Agent &. t. llurman met us at At
lnntu and was ready to render any ser-
vice. And ~ Nashville Il sp ,inl train
was put at our service to take the
party to Belle Meade, Gen. Jackson y
great farm. This visit was one of the
pleasant features OF the trip. AZ Il
matter OF fact, we have always found
tho railroads ready to do what was
right.
The only regret we have IL that the
trip did not include visit to the Her.
mitage, which is some fourteen miles
distant.
