THE PRESS AT THE SEASIDE.
TO undertake to describe The
meeting of the State Press asso
citation at the Isle of Palms last
week, would be an Impossible
task. 1t was the greatest, ootn
from business and a social
standpoint, in the history OF the
association. The attendance was
large-the largest for years, ana
all seemed ready for the jolly
good time. Riddock & Byrns,
the hotel proprietors: spared no
time or expense to make their
guests feel at home and happy,
every comfort was looked alter
by them, and every attention Civ;
en- regardless of expense. These
hotel proprietors deserve more
than the thanks Of the news
paper fraternity, every man and
woman Of them should urge upon
their friends to visit the sea-
shore hotel at the Isle Of Palms,
where health and pleasure is Ger.
tain to be the reward. Did we
60 into details about the atten'
tons given the association by
Messrs Riddock & Byrn our en-
tire space would be taken up
They surely make grand hosts
and did the honors nobly and
well.
The Charleston newspaper
craft was all to the good: Maj.
J. G. Hemphill Of the News and
Courier, Mr.. Thomas P. Warine
of the Evening Post were untir-
ing in their efforts. They never
rested moment. and we know
Of no two men in South Carolina
who can make people happier.
Mr.. Billie" Ball of the News and
Courier was chairman of the re-
ception committee and, like a
good general, he gave the orders
but the committee did the rest.
Hon. P. H. Gadsden, president
of the consolidated railroad was
a host within himself, to him is
due the credit for many, many
kindnesses, that the craft will
never forget. He was made an
honorary member of the associ,
alton as mark of appreciation
for his generous courtesies sc
excellently and lavishly bestow
ed. The Evening Post we be.
lieve it was that said: every.
body worked but the chairman,
and he drank beer all day
Ball was in evidence whenever a
fresh keg was tapped, but dur.
ing the interrum he planned and
chewed paper. Ball was alright.
The press inspected the forts
on SulIivan's Island, sailed the
Cooper and Ashley rivers, tour
ed the navy yard, an education
within itself, and then fell into
the arms of the Germans at the
shutzenplatz, the greatest spot
on earth for a good time. Emil
Jahnz was the host, and his coun.
trymen, women and children were
his aides. There never was a
more whole-souled reception Civ
en- to a people than the German
Rife club gave to the South Car,
olina State Press association. It
was frolic and fun, from the time
the gates were thrown open, and
when the hour to leave arrived,
the party only consented because
it had to. Nextyear at the Shutz.
enplatz the Germans of Charles.
ton will entertain the National
Shutzen Bund, over 100 rifle clubs
from all over the nation. These
clubs are composed of men OF
means, and they will come to
Charleston for a good time. It
is a big undertaking to entertain
SO large an organization, and if
our Charleston friends go at it
as was indexed by the en-.
tertainment given the Press as,
sociation, it will be a huge af-
fair, and the people throughout
the State should ioin in the cele-
bration and go to the great ma
tional Shutzen feast. It will
teach them how to live and be
happy. At the proper time we
propose to have more to say on
this subject, but for the present
we will wish for Emil Jahnz the
great success that his open
hearted people deserve.
Charleston is noted the world
over for her kind treatment Of
guests. but never in her history
has she excelled this occasion.
It was a love feast from begin
ming to the end, and when the
invitation was extended to"Come
back next year" the association
was only too glad to. accept-it
knows a good thing.
There has been much said
about Charleston being a dead
city, and this has been so often
repeated that some people are
disposed to believe it, but if those
who have been misled will only
go to Charleston and look into
existing conditions they will see
that Charleston not only has a
bright future. but she is advanc.
