committee. 1t seemed to NE that
thew had demonstrated the realization
of the dream of Henry Grady in his
famous Boston speech delivered some
thirty years ago, that the only thing
to bring prosperity in this fair South
land of ours was to grow our own
food stuff at home, and then manu-
facture some of the things we need,
and that was long before we heard
ANYTHING about the damage from the
boil weevil.

But l must hasten on, as pleasant
as it is for me to inger at Marion.
Automobiles met US at Marion and we
were driven through the country
distance of thirty-six miles to Con-
way. This was very thoughtful for
it gave US fine country trip and cut
out the long railroad ride around by
Chadburn. The road was fine and
especially the ten miles in Marion out
to Gallivants Ferry where we cross
the Little Pee Dee and enter the In
dependent Republic of Horny. l was
in Mr.. ]. D. McCormick's car and in
the same car were Mr.. Kerr of Aiken
and his daughter Mrs Fitzpatrick. AS
we approached the bridge across the
river at Gallivants Ferry 7e noticed
that fence had been built across the
middle of the bridge with gates in
the center and above the fence was
an arch covered with evergreens and
beautiful flowers and at the gates
were bevy of young ladies dressed
in pure white and on the arch was
written welcome to the Independent
Republic of Horny by the state
queen of Palnafesta. AS we stopped
the gates were flung wide open and
the queen gave US hearty welcome
to one of her fairest provinces. Miss
Flora Mae Holiday ard her four
maids were the young ladies to ex-
tend this hearty welcome You will
recall that she was crowned queen of
the Palmafesta in Columbia last
spring and fair and beautiful and
modest queen she is. You COULD just
feel the welcome all the way along
the beautiful road. And at Aynor
another barricade was across the road
and we had to stop again while
bevy Of pretty girls served lemonade
to the travellers. Miss Holiday is the
daughter of Senator Geo. J. Holiday,
one of the largest planters and mer-
chants in the state. And he has a
magnificent country home at CALI
wants Ferry on the banks of the Little
Pee Dee and everything looks pros
porous around about.

Mr.. Johnson in his welcome re-
marks stated that the Pee Dee had
never before enjoyed the pleasure of
entertaining and welcoming the press
association. l knew at the time he
was mistaken, because l was very
sure that at least one meeting had
been held in Marion, and | find that
the 9Th annual convention was held
there, and remarkable coincidence
with that meeting and this last is the
fact that the welcome address to the
9Th meeting was delivered by Hon.
J. NJ. Johnson, who if l am not mis-
taken, was my late friend Solicitor J..
Monroe Johnson, the father of the
young man who extended the wei
come at this meeting. Or it may have
been the Johnson referred to by Mr..
Gaines when he said at the meeting
that he had been told by Senator
Crayton of Anders n "that there was
no man in the state who would make
a more excellent governor than
Chancellor Johnson of Marion"

PRESS ASSOCIATION

have attended practically al OF
the meetings of the State Press asso-
citation since the one in Charleston
in 1890 when Col. Henry Watterson
present and delivered his famous lee
ture on Men and Morals. The Sou
thern Press association held a meet
ig in Charleston at the same time
which accounts for the presence OF
Col. Watterson at the meeting. | find
in the list of those joining the asso-
citation at that time Wilson G. Har-
vey the present governor of South
Carolina. And among those occupy
ing seats on the rostrum at one OF
the public meetings Col. August
Kohn, but the record does not state
that he became a member at that
meeting. Really l thought he was too
young man to be member at this
meeting, but he is writ down as on
the staff of the News and Courier.
Col. T. B. Crews of Laurens was the
president. am mentioning this to
lead up to the statement nat
the recent meeting at Myrtle Beach
was among the most delightful of the
many gatherings of the editors that it
has been my privilege to attend, and
as looked over the members at Myr-
tie Beach it seemed to me that was
the oldest member there in point OF
service, but it appears now that Col.
Kohn shares the honor with me, at
least to the extent that he was pres
ent as a representative of the News
and Courier at this first meeting
which l attended.

The boys must have had great
time at this meeting at Marion. Mr..
Hemphill says that the great Indian
chief Osceola whose tomb may be
found beneath the frowning walls of
Fl. Moultrie was born on the banks of
the Waccamaw, and that his father
was a white man named Powell. They
had a trip out to lake WaccamaW
which covers $1,000 acres of land
which was then surrounded by mag
nifcent growth of forest trees which
bathed their hoary feet on the beau
tiful flood, and so on. 1t is a beautl-
full poem which Mr. Hemphill writes
of this Sth annual meeting at Marion
in June, 1882. Permit me to quote
his concluding sentence in summing
up the whole matter: when the
history of Press association is writ
ten no chapter will be more full of
pleasing detail, happy rsminiscence
and romantic incident than the story
of the eighth annual convention in
the town of Marion and the picnic eX-
cursion to Waccamaw, the beautiful,
in the leafy month of June"

After the luncheon we were driven
to MYRTLE Beach in autos or by boat
a portion of the way. l went by auto
q distance of twenty miles. The trip
down the Waccamaw is fine and some
of the scenery the best in the coun-
try. The railroad also has trains
running right down to the ocean. 1t
is a fine beach, so I am told, and
looks like it was, because l don't
know much about the ocean. MY
friend Captain jim Bell of the Calf
ney Ledger who was in my party a
good bit of the time, and l enjoyed
him very much, said he was satisfied
the water on the beach was not very
deep because it was so wide it could
not be deep. Well, l did not go in but
I enjoyed looking at the bathers and
they enjoyed the bath. There is one
thing especially l like about the sea-
coast and that is you can always eat
we'll and sleep well. We stopped at
the hotel there and the fare was very
good and l managed to make out on
fish though Captain Bell says l did
not care especially for fish and hoped
they would serve something else.

1t might be stated as matter of
interest to some if mysfriend, Mr..
Greneker does not object, that at this
meeting it is noted that Mr.. R. H.
Greneker was present as the repre-
sentative of the Newberry News, and
Mr.. T. F. Greneker as the represen-
tative of the Newberry Herald, and
that l was present at the forty
seventh convention as the represen-
tative of the Newberry Herald and

itor of the Marion Star now edited 5y

address at this last meeting. I can

Middleton Boland was born March
Goth, 1841, and departed this life
June 20, 1922. He had reached the
good old age of 81 years and three
months. In early manhood he be-
cane member of St. Peters E. l..
church, Lexington county, and re-
manned faithful to the same until his
death.
When the War Between the States
began he enlisted in Company H,
Holcomb Legion, Capt. ]. M. Maffett,
the first day of June, 1861, and
served in that command until the
first day of April, 1866. Was dis
charged from the service at Point
Lockout on the 23rd day of June,
1865, and was at that time men,
Der of Company H, Holcomb Legion.
He resided near Little Mountain
all his life except the time he spent
in the war.
He was married to Laura Ann Jane
Kohn Nov. 25, 1866. A large fam
lily was the result of this union-six
sons and two daughters, all of whom
are living except one son. This hap
py home was saddened by the death
of Mrs. Boland, which took place May
IA, 1891. In February, 1895, he was
married the second time, she being a
sister of the first wife-Lue Jane
Early, who survives him.
Mr.. Boland was good and quiet
citizen, a kind neighbor and true
friend of many.
After appropriate services conduct
ed by his pastor, the Rev. W. H. Ris-
er, assisted by the Revs. j. B. Har-
man and J. J. Long, his body was
laid to rest in the Holy Trinity cem-
etery in the presence of large ga
thering of sorrowing relatives and
fiends.
Those who survive to perpetuate
his memory and cherish his good
name are: A wife, five sons, two
daughters, twenty-five. grandchildren,
seven great-granchildren, a sister,
five half sisters, and half brother.
His body shall return to dust
whence it came, but his soul has
crossed over the river of death and
is now resting in the shade of eter-
nity's tree.
Little Annie Louise Shealy, the
infant daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Ell
mer L. Shealy, died at the home of
her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. T. L..
Shealy, last Friday afternoon. The
child was only four weeks old and
was bright and beautiful baby, and
was i'll only few days. The parents
and grandparents have the sympathy

There is a fine club house on the
beach and many of the people who
live at Conway and nearby towns are
members, and the club has rooming
facilities and good cafe in connec-
ton with it and this makes it more
homelike and then it is right out near
the water and you get full view of
the ocean and the ocean breeze. Col.
D. A. Spivey served a dinner to some
twenty or more of the members of
the party and his friends and it was
greatly enjoyed.

pleasure of riding with my good old

He drove from Gaffney in his car as

The crops along the way from Co.

tions were looking very bad. The
corn was small and the cotton the
same and not we'll worked. In fact the
prospect for a crop to me was very
poor From Marion on the balance
of the trip the crops looked very well.
There has been lots of rain in and
around Sumter and Florence.

citation would have another meeting

1t was a great pleasure to me to go
once more to the great Pee Dee sec
ton of our state. And the little
meeting and the welcome at Marion
were among the most pleasant tea-
of the trip. met many friends that
/ knew, and whom / had not seen IN
many years, and the welcome seemed
so hearty and generous you just felt
that the people meant it and that 1t
came from the heart. And Marion IS
one of those old time towns that has
the appearance of restfulness, and
the wide streets and beautiful green
lawns give it tone that appeals to
me. The members were welcomed to
Pee Dee by Mr.. Palmer Johnson, and
a reception was held in the library
which is in charge of Mrs. Ellerbe,
and coffee and tea and sandwiches
were served by the good women OF
the town. This is fine public libra
ry and is beautifully kept, and l no
ticed among the books in the libraSa
were many volumes of newspapers,
and especially The State and the
News and Courier, and also files Of
the local paper. This is fine idea
and makes a very valuable set of ref
erence books on matters concerning
the history of the state. / have often
thought that some one in town
where newspaper was printed
should be required to keep files of the
paper as a matter of public concern,
and for reference, and this should be
done for the benefit of the public.
l happen to have files bound Of news
papers published in this county COW
