here. After hearing from DR.. Dib-
BILE It was decided that the Chamber
i OF Commerce give a luncheon on
Wednesday evening for the entertain
ment of the gentlemen who may at
tend the meeting.
In his talk DR.. Dibble outlined
the ideal route, and we believe 1t
will be the one that will be adopted.
A full description of this route was
given a short time ago by DR.. Dio-
bic In letter to Hon. James Cos
grove, of Charleston, which letter
was published last week in The
Times and Democrat. This route
takes in neary all the smaller
towns between this city and Charles
ton and to our mind is the best one
/. yet named.
IN anticipation of the action Of
the Chamber of Commerce in giving
a luncheon to the delegates, Presi-
dent Jennings had requested Col.
w. G. Smith, Capt. B. H. Moss and
/ Mr.. P. ID. Smoak to callson the busi-
ness men and solicit funds. for the
luncheon. This committee reported
I that they had been met on all sides
with smiles and that the money was
most cheerfully given by all upon
, whom they called. The amount COL
lected was S1S6. ...,.>.,s,,,.,,.,,..

that about two hundred will attend,
