The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1901-07-09

Tho bost mill mon in South Carolina
are native born, and tho first money
in our mills came from South Caro-
lin" people, who showed the possible
success Of cotton manufacture. The
thing that has mado South Carolina
most illustrious is that her people
are true to principle and are not
after tho almighty dollar only. I
take this material prosperity rs a
development incident to steadfast-
ness to principle.
There are some people who deride
the devotion shown tho past, and he
warned the young men that when q
people decry tho past there is much
trouble ahead, and he begged the
young editors, from the bottom Of
his heart and tho earnestness of a
patriot, not to leavo the moorings
and principles of the past, but to be
satisfied with the principles of their
fathers and not to jump about with
out 5 reat provocation. The glorious
past must never be gotten.
pRAIs1Na THEIR HOSTS.
The next toast was:
Mine Host-AIay Glenn Springs,
the queen Of summer resorts, continue
to reign over the hearts Of health and
pleasure loving people, and may the
NIessrs Simpson be successful in all
the affairs Of life as they have been
the hearts Of the members Of tho
State Press Association.
! In the absence Of Mr.. j. G.. Gar
lington, President e. II. Aull spoke
on the unbounding desire of the
Messrs Simpsons to do everything
| possible for the editors and how that
feeling even extended to the porters
and walters. He was unstinted in
his praise of the springs and it's
management. He then called on q
brilliant speaker, Col. Walter H.
HINT, of Spratanburg, who respond
ed, and said he had spent so many
happy days here and been the re-
ciplent of so many courtesies at the
hands Of the Messrs Simpson that he
was glad to respond. There was
only one Glenn Springs and it is the
greatest place in tho world. Glenn
Springs wanted the editors back next
year and the management of this
hotel hope they will make this their
permanent home and meet here every
year It would be meeting of the
two best things in the State-tho
State press and Glenn Springs. Mr..
Hunt was exceedingly clever in his
brief talk and said some witty things
in singing praises Of Glenn Springs
and the assembled editors.
PRESIDENT AULL ON THE PRESS.
Next came "The Pross ofSouth Car
olina-May we always bo guided by
a sense of justice and truth, and that
neither passion nor prejudice may
creep into our sanctums," which was
responded to by Col. T.. II. Aull,
president Of tho Association. MIR.
Aull has developed into really good
after dinner speaker. His speech
last night was neat, bright and forci-
bic, and won the plaudits of the
assembled guests. Col. Aull said:
The power of the press for good or
evil has been told in song and story,
and it's influence upon public affairs,
and in the making and unmabing of
men, both on the public and private
stage of action, has scarcely been
overrated.
There has been time when the
pages of history were writ in blood
and empires rose and fell ut the dos
potic command Of conquering ty-
rant. All was chaos, and the masses,
the 80. called common people, who
ruled the destinies of no empires,
and whose only care was for the
safekeeping of their families, knew
not whore to look for protection.
But while the night was ut it's dark
est, and all hopo for permanent in
stitutions and settled order of
things was lost, bright star was
seen to rise and shed it's bnams upon
struggling humanity, and tho press,
with all it's power and potent influ-
ence, was ushered into the aroma.
It's representatives, with faith in
