that Mrs. Virginia D. Young would
be safely looked after by Mr.. n. &.
Gonzales, editor ofthe State, they sent
the 'Be1Ie OF Carolina" with their COM
plimen.s and further expression that
the association would find pleasure in
the gift. ItwSs very nice and thought
fal, for our president to inform the
Augusts Brewery of our presence at
the springs, and it was very grace
ful compliment the Augusta Brewery
paid US in making the gift, for it was
greatly enjoyed by the whole gang
including all OF the ladies. Notwltil-
standing the fact that some wore blue
ribbons, when a toast was offered
that Here's to the health OF the
Belle of Carolina, may she live long
and prosper" not soul remained Sit
ting and to make it more impressive
the toast was repeated as often as the
cask held the supply. The 'Belle OF
Carolina" is good beer, clear, spark
ling and Highland the Augusta Brew
ing Company could not have found a
more sppreciative set to make a gift
to and one that could appreciate it
more.
1t was our pleasure to listen to the
address of Col. Pleasant Stovall of
Savannah, and to say it was q treat
would not be doing justice to al ad-
dress which in our opinion could not
have been prepared in short space
of time. Colonel Stovall's address
was gem Of oratory, revelation OF
thought, and word picture OF MeSl-
co which fastened itself upon the
brain more effectively than three
months tour through that republic
could have done. Editor Hook Of
Augusta was with us too, and while
he enjoyed the sight of South Carroll
ma editors drinking Augustus "Belle
of Carolina" he would not join US but
contented himself with the sparkling
water OF the Lithia Spring and the
pleasentries of the "boys." It was
decided to take a trip to Cuba next
February, and a special committee
which will hereafter be known as the
"Cuban Junta" was appointed to
make all necessary arrangements.
This committee is composed of Major
E. H. Aull, News and Herald, August
Kohn, News and Courier, n. G. Con
zales, State, and being located in
Columbia and together, they will be
able to get up fine trip at very
small expense. Colonel Stovall and
Editor Hook are to accompany our
association to Cuba. And we hope
that President Aull will not fail
to keep the Augusta Brewing compa-
nv posted as to time we are start.
Harris Lithia Springs is splendidly
situated, on the crest OF the hill is the
spacious hotel, and down in valley
are several springs, Lithia, sulphur,
and Iron. The lithia is OF course, the
one most sought after, but we are
told that the other springs have good
medicinal properties. In front Of the
hotel tine landscape is beautiful
natural scenery that would throw an
artist into ecstacies, the atmosphere
is mild and tbs nights are cool. The
hotel is within two miles of two rail-
road station Cross Hill on the South
ern, and Waterloo on the Charleston
and Western Carolina; the trains are
met with easy riding carriages and
fine teams. Mr.. Harris Bristow who
has charge OF this department relieves
the guests of the trouble of bothering
with baggage aud every thing is de-
livered at once. The South Carolina
Press Association showed their appre-
citation OF good thing when they
voted to return to Harris Lithia
Springs next year, and this, in the
face OF many invitations from various
other points.
