State Press Association, arrived IN
the city yesterday morning ana was
busily engaged throughout tho day
making arrangements for tho meet
ing of that organization, which is to be
held here, beginning Docomber IL.
9, 1t is expected that all of the leading
81 newspaper mon of South Carolina

first official view of the great Exposi
ton at that time. Extensive prepa-
rations for their reception and enter

the local authorities and by the de-
: partme' t of publicity and promotion.
SIT is intended that the programme of
Nentertainment shall be q most elabor-
ssate and enjoyable one, and the city
saof Charleston is especially desirous,
as we'll as the officials Of the Exposi-
SStion Company, that every newspaper
y in South Carolina should have per-
sssonal representative here at that
Sstime. Col. Aull is exceedingly hope
full OF large attendance at this spe
ycial meeting of the Press Association,
and he is confident that it's members
will be more than we'll pleased with
&the arrangements which are being
"Smade for their reception and enter
ainment in the city and at the Ex-
iosition grounds. When seen by Il
sporter for the News and Courier

II am very anxious that this shall
one Of the largest meetings of the
association held in it's history, and
from letters which T have received
from members in different parts of
the State and from personal inter
Tews with them, I am satisfied that
Yarly every editor in the State will
here ut that time. am sure that
feel deep interest in the success
he Exposition and in Charleston
will make every effort possible to
st}with the Association. I have
completed arrangements with the
anagement of the Argyle for the
;ertainment Of the members. The
|prietors Of che hotel, in addition
giving us special rate, will also
" 'nish some special entertainment
Friday evening. The programme
jtdetails Of this Will be announced
Ier. AS I have stated some time
%, we will have no place of rendoz
JUS, but the members Of the Asso
9ciation will come direct to Charleston
Y and are expected to go to the hotel
nlentioned in time for the meeting,
which will be held at II o'clock on
sSThursday, December 12. 1t is very
simportant that those members who
have not transportation for them
ssselyes or members Of their families
whom they expect to accompany them
%should advise mo at tho earliest pos
@sible moment 80 that L may secure
Sthe transportation in time. I have
ALREADY taken the matter up with the
4 railroads and have no doubt that
satisfactory arrangements will be
Smade, but all applications for trans
portation will have to come through
the president Of the Association.
am exceedingly anxious that every
editor in the State will make a special
effort to be with us on this occa-
Ission.
'I spent some time this afternoon
at the Exposition grounds and was
Struck with the extent Of the Expo
sition, and for beauty of location I
it excels the Buffalo Exposition
gsand will compare favorably with it in
Eize. I am sure that the people of
this State have no idea Of what this
Exposition is going to be. The work
Siisswell under way and the authorities
tell me that it will be opened on sched-
Sile time on December l."
