brethren.
2. In accordance with your Ill
rections at the last annual meeting, {
special meeting was held in Charles
ton early in December and the At
tendance was remarkably good. The
meeting was before the Exposition
was ready, but as our purpose was
to help the Exposition we desired t'
60 early and get general idea o1
the scope Of the great show, feeling
sure that the members would &C
back during it's progress for then
own comfort. However, | think al
of the members who we're present en-
ioyed the Charleston meeting. II
was the purpose to 60 back to the
Exposition in body if it could 1t
arranged. Owing to the date Of oul
meeting we could not arrange day,
though we might 60 back on Satur
day and see the Exposition close, and
| this can be done on the way home, il
the members 80 desire.
3. The executive committee held
one or two meetings and the pro
gramme for this meeting WAS ar
| ranged and has been published. The
time was referred to your president,
To be fixed after consultation with
the people of Georgetown, and the
present date was agreed upon for the
reason that it did not conflict with
other public functions in the State
in which the members were inter
ested.
4. At your last annual meeting
you failed to elect delegates to the
National Editorial Association. In
view of this fact and with the hope
that the Association might be repre-
sented, the executive Committee
named ]. L. Stoppelbein, J G.
Kemphill and F. II. McMaster, but
I believe none of them were able to
attend.
5. The executive committee
elected Col. j. H. Estill, of the Sd
vannah Morning News, as annual
orator for this wear and we had hoped
to have him wlGh US. He accepted
only conditionally. About three
weeks ago he wrote me saying it
would be impossible for him to come,
inssmuch as he was in the midst of
his campaign for Governor. [ then
secured the services of Col. Julius
E. Boggs, and did this without con
sulting the executive committee, as
the time was short and we wanted
that hour on the programme filled.
6. No annual trip has been ar
ranged from this meeting. had q
proposition from Mr.. j. W. Smith,
Southern representative of the Mer-
chants and Miners Transportation
Company, to take the Association
from Norfolk to Boston, and a nice
and comfortable trip could have been
arranged. I advertised the trip and
said that if requests came from as
many as twenty the trip could be
taken. Only about ten indicated a
desire to 90 and it was abandoned.
The proposition of this company
is still open and arrangements may
be made later. I have hoped that
some time during this year we might
arrange trip to California. This
may be discussed at this meeting.
7. For several meetings we had on
our programme paper by Mr.. Yates
Snowden on "Scraps of South Caro-
lima journalism" This paper has
never been completed. [ would sug
gest that Mr.. Snowden be requested
to continue his paper and that when
it is completed he be requested to
have it printed in permanent
form
8. In the minutes of 1894 the
secretary, Mr., G. H. Prince. who had
been appointed COMMITTEES of one
to secure the missing records, (loo2
to $780, reported that he had been
unable to secure them, and stated
that the best that could be done was
to get them from the files of The
News and Courier, and that this
could be done at cost of about S23.
