President Au1l Announces Arrange
ments for Annual Meeting and Til
in July.
TO the,members of the South Carolina
Press Association; -.
The annual meeting Of the associa'
zion at The Isle of Palms, Which had
beer fixed for July 27-29, has Beer
changed TO yaEy II, IS, l0:' This is
done at the suggestion oflMessrs. Rid
dock & Burns, the proprietor. Of the
hotct aid after consultation with
the members Of tie local press in
Charleston. The reasou fofs the
charge is that it develops after the
date had b@en fixed that several es-
cursion parties and other conventions
were fixed for the same date at the
Isle Of Palms and the proprietora Of
the hotel felt that they could not give
the press association tie. accomoda-
lions which they desired and that
they could. not change the other dates
and they did not know of. them when
the meeting Of the association was fix
ed for Juile 277.2o. They did NOT in
sist on a, shange, Of date bat suggest
ed it for the reason stated. The
date now agreed upon, July l-,r Is
and 10 was the Only one 3. which did
not conflict with other engagements
of MY own and l trust that it will
be agreeable ard satisfactory to all
the members of:'the press in this
State.
The programme has already been
printed .aird scut ont and there will
be. no :change' III that except the
change Of the date.
I trust that every editor and pub
Usher in the State will attend this
meeting. An interesting programme
has been arranged and the people of
Charleston, n,alld the proprietors, of
the hotel intend to make it olle.of the
best meetings of the association held

I already have an Invitation from
the German Rifle Club asking the
privilege of having charge Of the as

ciation this year. / can arraiigs to
