Of the meeting.
"'The local newspaper men at Green
vill~ as we'll as the citizens generally
are very much interested in this meet
ing Of the association and are exceed
ING anxious that every paper IN the
State shall be represented.
IT am sure that this is going to be
one of the most pleasant Of the many
conventions which we have held. The
Ottaray, the new hotel which has just
been completed at Greenville, is GER
tainlv one Of the handsomest and
best equipped in the State, and 90
not know any anywhere that excels
it.
'sMiss NJ. Quinn, who is manager OF
the hotel, as she herself, expresses 1t
twas brought up in the business,
and from a personal interview with
her I am sure that / can state that
she will spare no pains nor money to
entertain the association as 1t posi-
blv has never been entertained be-
fore. .;zE
"The hotel will be opened, under
stand, on the 18th Of this month and
everything will be we'll organized by
the time of the meeting of the asso-
citation. =. %
"Thera are other attractive Tea
tnres in addition to the entertain
ment and the program which L am
s,,re will make it desirable on the part
of every member to be present.
"We hope to get out the othclal
program in the next few days. In the
meantime I can announce that Sena-
tor Walker, Of Georgetown, who had
been invited to deliver the annual ad-
dress. was forced under advice of his
phvsician to decline. [ am sure that
the members will be glad to know
that 7 have just received a telegram
from Prof. Lee Davis Lodge, of Lime
stone college, accepting an invitation
to deliver this address, and those
who heard him last year in an lnfor-
NAL way will know what to expect
on this occasion.
"Miss Quinn, Of the Ottaray hotel,
is going to tender the assocla11on'
with her compliments, a banquet on
the evening Of Thursday, July 8.
This will be very elaborate banquet
and in connection with the local press
and committees we hope to arrange
an attractive program of short alter
dinner talks.
T have the promise of the presence
of three prominent Georgia editors
and authors, representing the three
papers published in the capital OF
GEORGIA. Mr.. James R. Gray, manag-
ING editor Of the Journal, hopes to
arrange so as to meet with us. l eS-
+snded also personal invitation TO
Mr.. Frank L. Stanton, Of the Attain
"a Constitution, and he said that
while he had not been outside OF A.
lanta in II years, it would be a great
pleasure to him to come to South Car,
olina, his native State, and he ;, hopeo
to he able to be with us, and that ne
had in mind for a number Of years a
visit to his native city, Charleston
Mr., Lucian Knight, Of the Georglan'
will also probably be with US at TINS
time, and, of course, we all expect to
have Mr.. J. P. Caldwell, OF the
Charlotte Observer.
II would like to have some 1ndlca-
+;on from the members at once as 10
whether or not they desire to take the
side trip which has been proposed:
The distance this year IS shsntiS
more than it was last year, ano'
1berefore, the cost will be a little IN
creased over last year. The trip sug-
pested is to leave Greenville lmmea- d.
lately after the banquet or at l:oo
a. m. July 9th, and sleeper will be ar
