The Newberry herald and news. (Newberry, S.C.) 1884-1903, 1902-06-03
next year and the next year and for
ell time.
Then DIR. Walter Hazard, chair

dent of the board of trade, made g
most happy speech of welcome and
grew quite eloquent on the power,
| opportunities and responsibilities oi
newspaper editors, and of this be
could speak with emphasis, because
he had himself been an editor. He
| told of how glad he was to welcome
the editors to Georgetown and how
| happy his people were to be able to
! show the visitors that their city was
| actually moving ahead, and that it
| was in the lead. 1t was pleasant
day for Georgetown and ne hoped a
happy ono for the editors,
Then he took. up the cause of the
editors and showed in pretty word
picture how they, had all worked for
the .msterisl geod of the State and
towns aud how they were generally
on the side of that which was right
and just and manly. He portrayed,
as. only could one who knew, the
trials and tribulstions Of the average
editor sRd how he bore mp, poorly
paid and ..'casse9' all the while,
working for the good of his people
and community. The newspapers
we're, he pEoelsimed, great powers of
modern civilization and the calling
of the editor sacred and high. In
winding up he grew fscetious some
what at the expense Of Mayor Nor
gan, on whom he got the laugh be-
cause of his single blessedness, and
for himself the hearty applause of
the gathering.
RESPONSES FOB THE PRESS.
President Aull was ssndwiehed he
tween 8 brilliant tslker and bright
woman, but to the credit Of the AS
sociation, he acquitted himself hand
somely. ss he always does, and made
a graceful acknowledgment of the
cordial welcome given the Associa-
tion. To help him out he called on
Mrs. Virginia D. Young, whose visit
here emphasized the revolution some
eleven years ago, when she was
elected q member of the Association
at Georgetown.
Now whatever may be said of wo-
mans rights or the rights ofthe gen
tier sax, it mast be said that the
chief exponent Of that view, Mrs.
Virgiais D. Young, is an sWfully
clever and bright little champion.
She said great many bright things,
but she was quite sarcastic when she
referred to the paragraph 10 the cir
calsr of information which read:
st'TrsnsportstiennWill also; be: pro-
Eided .fors one dePendentx female "
NowAae Rorda dependent, female"
grated on her finer sense worse than
q croVbar would on a piece of silk.
She admitted that it almost made
her sick aud then she spoke of what
she thought was the lovely mutual
inter dependence of husband and
wife, and how the expression grated
on her likea poisoned burr. The
word ''femalen was sussd4sssat to geese
and she wanted to know if the wo-
men were to be compared with geese.
The great joy of these meetings
was that here the women and men
enjoyed absolute equality, and it was
q step in the unity of humanity.
Mrs. Young's little talk made
decided hit.
