WILL CAPTURE GREENVILLE.
President Aull, of the S. G. Press
Association, Declares Meeting
This Year Will Surpass
All Others.

Aull. IN speaking today OF the annua!
meeting Of the South Carolina Press
Association, stated that he would like
the members to remember that it is
only a little more than month be-
fore the gathering Of the editors in
Greenville. At the last meeting Of
the executive committee a tentative
program for this meeting was agreed
upon. and the details were left with
Secretary R. L. Freeman.
Mr.. Aull said in speaking Of the
program: "I have written Mr.. Free
man in the last few days requesting
him to furnish the program as he has
arranged it, so that it might be made
public. One Of the features of this
meeting is the annual address Of
Senator LeGrand Walker, Of George
town.
"The date of the meeting was left
to the president after a conference
with the local members in the city Of
Greenville. T have already announc.
ed that, after the conference which
was had with the good people Of
Greenville, it was decided to hold the
annual meeting on the 9Th. 7th, and
9Th Of July. I hope to announce IN
a few days some Of the attractions
to be offered by the people of Green
Vile in addition to the regular rou-
tine. Greenville is now about COM
pleting one Of the handsomest and
most modern hotels in the South. and
arrangements are being made to have
all of the members Of the association
chartered at this magnificent hotel.
The hotel has not yet been opened.
but will be by the first of June.
"The association has iheld several
meetings heretofore in Greenville,. but
the Greenville people at this time are
determined to make this one Of the
most pleasant, attractive and success
ful gatherings that the editors o. this
State have ever had. They are very
anxious that every newspaper in
South Carolina shall be represented
at this meeting, and I desire to add
nv most earnest request for every
member of the association to come
and also for those who are not mem
bcrs to meet with us this time and
identify themselves with the asSocla-
ton. Arrangements are being made
to secure transportation in this State
for I'll of the members and others
who desire to become members aid
who have pot transportation already.
~ received letter the other day
from member, inquiring if we would
expect the ladies as had been custcm'-
acy heretofore. I answered hin that
we certainly would, and I desire to
sav now that I hope every editor who
hi good wife will bring her along
with him and. we will be delighted to
have the daughters Of the editors 81
so. In fact, these annual gatherings
are largely social. and I have always
felt that We really get more genuine
benefit from the social side Of the
meetings than from any business we
might undertake or any papers we
discuss, but it has been our purpose
to mingle both.
"Having in mind the benefit to be
derived by coming IN contact with
one another, for several years l have
always endeavored to have our meet
ings so arranged that the entire asso-
ciatlon might be domiciled in the
same house. In this way we are
thrown together and live for three or
four days as one family, and we come
to know each other better, understand
each other better, and in our discus
sions after we return home there IS
less Of bitterness because Of this bet
ter acquaintance. We come to know
and appreciate that there is some
thing good even in the worst of US. l
am exceedingly anxious that this shall
be one Of the best meetings and one
of the largest attended, and | feel
that I can assure every member who
comes that he will not regret the time
or the expense.
II would like you to begin thinking
about the meeting at this time and be-
gin your arrangements to meet with
us. If you have not transportation
for yourself and some member of
your family who desires to come with
YOU, advise me at once and [ will un-
dertake to secure transportation tor
You. Those of the members who at
