the newspaper editors has been su-
per5. 1t seems to be hospitality
peculiar to. Georgetown, Aid some
idea of the unanimity of the welcome
NAV be had when it is stated that
the good women of the city are them
selves MAXIM the salads and sailing
the almonds ami making all the prep
srstions. That is real work, but 1t
IS simply typical OF Georgetown's
way of doing thing right, and of
the commendable manner in which
everyone here is pulling together.
That pulling together and co opera
tive spirit is what is making the new
Georgetown so conspicuous in the
commercial world. Today the editors
had a good days work, and besides
they had a glorious day of pleasure.
The day was ideal, indeed the wealth
er has been perfect since they came
here.
This morning, after the business
meeting, the editors and their lady
friends were shown the beauties of
the city and took things leisurely un-
Til 2 o'clock, when the trip around
Georgetown hsrbor began, and at
night there was brief business
meeting to select the next place OF
meeting and elect officers and two
splendid addresses by Mr.. Julius E..
Boggs and Col. j. ]. 'Dargan.
Georgetown has just reason to
want everyone to see her harbor and
especially to know that she has about
fifteen feet of water, snd that the
shipping of the place is increasing
wonderfully.
The committee, of which Mr..
Marks Moses was chairman, made
excellent arrangements for the en-
tire trip, and not only was delight
ful trip arranged, but there was
plenty to eat and abundance of fun
and Joyous time altogether and
from the time the Burroughs left the
dock until she tied up there was a
very merry crowd on the vessel and
thoroughly delighted gathering.
The Burroughs was supplemented by
the revenue cutter Forward, and no
more congenisl host could be found
than Capt. Mitchell, and he certainly
made things most agreeable and de-
lightful for his friends and guests.
The Burroughs and the Forward
covered thirty two miles, all within
the jetties, sud the editors had a
chance to peep atthe granite walls that
are to bring Georgetown g so much
deeper harbor aDdso much more traf
fic, but fortunately the boats did not
90 out to sea. The steamer first went
down Sampit River TO take birds
eye glance at the imm-nse plant OF the
Atlantic Coast Lumber Company,
aud then up Waccamaw River to
Prospect Hill, where the old bill at
which Lafayette was entertained was
seen, and down the Waccamah to
Winyah Bay, and down Wiuyah Bay
to the light house iu North Island
and then back to Georgetown. A
landing was made at North Island
and the editors and their friends, es-
pecislly the young ladies, had de-
ligbtful romp around Ae beach and
they climbed up into the light house
and then they went to picking up
shells and souvenirs of the trip. Al
North Island Capt. Mitchell sent out
two of his boats and a number OF
those on the Burroughs joined the
visitors on the Forward on the return
trip home. Mayor Morgan and quite
a number of citizens Went on the ex'
cnrsion and added to the pleasure OF
the trip.
