morning, promptly at / o'clock,
the thirty-second annual meeting
of the South Carolina Press As
sociation was called to order by
President E. II. Aull, of the

Addresses of welcome were made
by Mayor r. G.. Rhett, Philip H

the Isle of Palms and electric

addresses made it known that We
were not castaways on lone
island, but that we were, so to
SPEAK, in the house of our friends.
The daily sessions of the conven.

subjects were read, some of the
most interesting being one by
Mrs. Virginia ID. Young, of the

One Of the most enjoyable in
cidents of the STAY in Charleston
was the excursion around the
harbor on the buoy tender, Wis

we were carried through Forts

taken on board the vessel and
carried out beyond Fort Sumter
to view the jetties, passing in
close proximity to James Island,
Cummings Point, Morris Island
and other points Of vantage held
by the Confederate forces during
the late war. The point where
the "Swamp Angel" was station

shell into the Federal gun-boats
was pointed out. The vessel was
then headed for the open sea but

grew rough, we withdrew and
