Date of Annual Meeting Changed to
June 29-North Carolina Trip to
be Taken Immediately After
the Meeting.

"''''a 'eSH a"Sorlall0n, returned
on Saturday from meeting of the
executive committee in Columbia
President Aull called this mcctinm for
he purpose of considering the odvis-
ahillty Of changing the date of the
annual meeting. Certain rontin"cn-
r'eS arose which in his Judgment made
II ADVISABLE to change the date. and
he did not feel inclined to assume th,
responsibility without asking meet
ing "f the committee. The committee
discussed the situation thoroughly and
came |" the conclusion that it wnulI
be t" the Interest Of the dissertation
ahd the pleasure of the members ycn-
rraI'y 1" postpone the meeting for two
weeks.
Unfortunately the programs and
announcements had just been sent
out The mcrtin" will be held June
2'-July and the trip into western
North Carolina will be mad. July
3rd. lravin" Gailney at eight o'cluck
ana Sprndin" the night at Battery
'ark, Ashcvillc. and taking dinner ON
July 4th at the Wheeler hotel, at
li'ndrrS"nvllIc. anT spending Sunday
at Lake Toxaway.
In speaking of the change Prcsi-
| dent Aull says: "Thc committee ra-
gretS very much to make any
changes. but under the circumstances,
thinks it best to do so. When the first
date was agreed upon an effort was
made to avnid conflict with any 9TH
er gathering but there are so many Of
these gatherings now that il is almost
impossible not to conflict with SOM,
OF them. The change which w. have
| made puts Us away from the com
lmrhremcnt season aud will rive lhr
"dltnrS who desire to attend the Nh
'l"nal Democratic convention ut Dem
yer an opportunity to attend the
mectln" Of the aSsnciation and the
Denver convention also. 1t will also
be before the opening Of the county
campaigns and those who are inter-
eSicd IN this matter will have the op-
portunity to attend the Press ASSo-
ciation and gel home before the cam
paign starts in their counties.
MIR. D2amp ant the people Of
(iaifncy were very clever about the
matter and said they would be glad to
have the association to come at any
time it best suited to come, and they
proposed to make it the highwatcr
mark in the gatherings of the press
IN this State.
"The member who goes to this
meeting and fails to enjoy it will have
to find the cause within himself.
In regard to the proposed trip,
would repeat my former request that
those who contemplate taking it adj
wise me as soon as possible so that
ample accommodations may be made
1T takes some time to arrange tha
"details even for short trip and |
trust that the members who are going
| will appreciate this and advise NE at
once.
| III tAl'NHHtH Will Dt Ms nPFtt0-
| fore announced and as TO incident
ais, each may be at liberty to make
that item just what ne plrascs and
can interpret ii to mean just what ne
plraSrs. IF he concludes there are
no longer 'incidcntals' in this section
Of North Carolina, he may prepare to
take them with him.
81 am very anxious that every
publisher in South Carolina wh,
Is not member Of the assnriatn,
may become one and that he will do
:" anH attend the approaching meet
ln% at Gaffncy and also take the trim
which has been arranged. It is said
| by those who have been over il to be
| one Of tho most delightful in this
! country and 10 be the most beautiful
scenery to be found in America.
81 hope that every publisher will
make note Of the change of ihc date
| Of the meeting and arrange his af-
| FAIRS so as to take this one week off
and meet with the other publisher.
and become actively identified with
the association.'
