Aull, president of the State Pres Association, arrived ir the city yebturday lornting and wa busily engaged throughout the day making arrangemonts for the moot ing of that organization, which is to be held here, beginning Decembor 12. It is expected that all of the loading newspaper men of South Carolina will be in Charleston to take their first official view of the great Exposi tion at that time. Extensive propa rations for their reception and enter tainment are already being made by the local authorities and by the do .partme t of publicity and promotion. t is intended that the programme of ntertainment shall be a most elabor to and enjoyable one, and the city f Charleston is especially desirous, well as the officials of the Exposi tion Company, that every newspaper in South Carolina should have a per sonal representative here at that time. Col. Aull is exceedingly hope ul of a large attendance at this spe Al meeting of the Press Association, he is confident that its members ill be more than well pleased with he arrangements which are being ado for their reception and entor Ninment in the city and at the Ex coeition groutit1s. When soon by a porter for the News and Courier ;8terday Col. Aull saiid: 41 am very anxious that this shall one of the largest meetings of the ,8sociation held in its history, and ' letters which I have received members in different parts of a State and from personal inter itrs with them, I am satisfied that %arly every editor in the State will ho:e at that time. I am sure that feel a deep interest in the success .be Exposition and in Charleston .will make every effort possible to at with the Association. I have ttAleted arrangements with the 'nagement of tie Argyle for the ertainment of the members. The ?prietors of the hotel, in addition giving us a special rate, will also nish some special entertainment 'riday evening. The programme details of this w-ll be announced ,r. As I have stated some time o,we will have no place of rendez >Us, but the members of the Asso Mien will come dlirect to Charleston Sare expect ed to go to the hotel (tioned in time for the meeting, Yhich will be0 held at 12 o'clock on hursday, December 12. 1t is very tportant that those members who gve not transportation for them i ves or members of their families born they expect toe accompany them *onld advise me at the earliest pos l1e moment so that I may seure i.tranisportation in time. I have * tady taken the matter up with the 'lroads and have no doubt that *ai8factory arrangements will be ide, but all applications for trans rtation will have to come through Spresident of the Association. I -exceedingly anxious that every Itor in the State will make a special ort to be with us on this cca 5"I spent some time this afternoon the Exposition grounds and I wvas ok with the extent of the Expo 9n, and for beauty of location I k it excels the Buffalo Exposition will compare favorably with it in I am sure that the people of gState have no idon of what this >osition is going to be. The wvork ell under way and the authorities me that it will be opened on schmed time on Deocember 1" 'hile the details of the programmec he entertainment of the Statt e Association have not yet beer rely perfected it is al ready de. inmed that the first meeting o~ members of the Association wh< ohere on. December .12 will hi at 12,o'clock that day in thi S iorinm at the Ernonitioi grounds. On that occasion they wil bo tendered the freedom of the cit) by Mayor Smyth and the freedom o the Exposition grounds by Presideni Wagoner, of tho Exposition Company lmlledintely after they will be the guests of the Exposition Conpan) itself at a collation in one or anothel of the leading restaurants on tht grounds. Of course there will bo i great deal else for them to do, ac cording to the plans which are to be made for them by their hosts. Many of the members of the Stxte Pres Association have warm personal friends in Charleston and these will join with the Exposition Company and the city authorities in using every endeavor to make the distin guished newspaper visitors as come fortable and happy during their stay in the city and at the Exposition as possible. WASHINGTON'8 OH1iHRtV TRE. 8ohemee which the Pnstoffice Detartment should Fut a Stop to-Poole Like to J,i Iuiimib)iggedi [Abbeville Press and Banner, 15th.] George Washington and his hatch et wore immortalized and made fam ous forever by the cherry tree which he cut down with his little axe, and the lie which he would not tell. No matter what success his historian may have had along the line of fic tion, it is stated as a fact that George Washington couldn't toll a lie. The association long ago of truth fulness and cherry trees may have inspired the nuriery folk that they have gone into the cherry business as a specialty, even at this remote date. The remembrance of George's axe and his honest confession, may have led a majority of the Americans of this day to believe that the nur seryman who produced cherry trees had the same startling quality for which George was distinguished. The eagerness with which pretty women of this country accept the most illusive promises about cherry trees can only be accounted for on the assumption that they believe nur serymen to be like George Washing ton-unable to tell a lie. If this were not true, can any man who walks the face c the earth, explain how a nurseryman can give $240 for the sale of $12 worth of cherry trees ? Except on the ground of belief that nurserymen could not tell a lie, and are immensely rich and are possessed of the desire to dispense benefactions, we do not see how any living crea ture could be led into such an easy trap. Of the desire of good and honest women to secure an agency at an outlay of $12, mn cherry trees, whereby they can earn $240, we are reminded of what the Confederate soldier said of some of the women in the neighborhood where they were camping: "Ye gods, how we men can fool the women." This community has suffered from another scheme. As we understand, a certain newspaper offered employ ment for twelve months at $20 a month, or $240 for a club of 25 sub scribers to his paper. Owing to the gullability of this people and the in nocence of well meaning agents, four such clubs were madle up in Abbe villa, and at least one man explained at the post office that he did not sub scribe for it. HIe made the impres sion that he was ashamed to be seon taking it out of the post ofhoen. But, like measles and mumps, whooping cough and chicken pox, these illusive schemes run their course, and for lack of mat rial to work on they disappear, and the fact that they once existed is a memory. These schemes go we know where. We are equally ignorant of the fate that awaits the nurseryman and the newspaper that resorts to any scheme whereby innocent and hopeful p)oo pIe are induced to part with their money. We are surprised that the post office authorities do not investi gate such transparent schemes as would entail loss and disappointmont to honest and worthy people who may be led to part with their money by delusive promises of illusire gain This newspaper has boen flooded with advertisements for agents for schemes which we think are not in reality what they seem, but we can not publish them.

(reeoiville Ittvitl'M the 1'epiiit of t il, St Ct to thte (ncl nioais ('onsventl eI in D . cctttber--'Ie (rvat Neseri or thle South On behalf of thoeitizens of (Irvrt ville nll invitation is eXtn(de(1d to the people of Sout.h Carolina to visit, our (eii:y uig thle w'eek be(gininiig Mon) day, Dec. 1(ith, when thi "GUood Itond.' Special'' of t ho Southern Railway will be hero for the purpose of btuiliirtg samplo roads and holding meoetings with the view of teaching the people in practical road building. This is the only point in the Piedmont see tion where the train will stop to do any work, and overy ono who can do so ought to take the opportunity of learning for himself what can be done in the making of roads with neces sary machinery handled by men who are experts in the business. S3 much has boon said and writ ton in regard to this subjoect of good roads that the people of the South are practically in thorough accord with the idea that good roads are an acquisition and benefit to any com1 munity. Every one is conviuned that the lick of good roads is one of the greatest drawbacks to the growl Ii and prosperity of the South, and to supply this lack is on of the most serious problotms before us today. A not- work of main roads built under scientific direction with (urable and prrmanont material will alone mioet the urgent domand of our rural dis tricts and market towns. The lines of competition are being drawn m1ore closely every year and the margin of profits are growing more slender ill consequence, so that it is imperative to employ every eloment looking to low-priced product ion and cheap dis tribution of the crops that are grown on the fa ims, and which are to be consumed by the non-producers. The entire population of any ,section is in whatever may contribute to this result, and it is clearly demonstrated that good roads are a prime factor in the development of the con try, while providing the greatest economy in bringing the producer and con. sumer together, so that both classes will profit by easy and cheap traus portation over our public roads. How can we secure better roads in tho'South ? This is the question to be discussed by practical men in the Good Roads convention which will be held in this city while the road making is being demonstrated on the roads and streets. Organized end practical lines must be laid down to secure the results aimed at, and it is necessary that every citizen shall give his moral and financial support to measures wvhich are intended for the benefit of al11. Good roads mnIO a direct benefit to every farmer, as5 there is no plan that will do more to enhanc~e the value of lands and de velop rural communities thlan perma nent and wellI-constructed highways. Nothing can b)e found to contributo. more to the contentment and happi niess of a farming population, and whatever conducos to this state. of af fairs on the f arm con fers lasting bone. fits upon towns and cities, for the prorpority andl advancement of the farm'o aro qjuickly reflected ini the growth and wealth- producing chair. actor of their neighb)ors. WVhile there is great unanimtity upon thle advantages of good ronds, there is in reality very little practi cal knowledge as to tihe me.ans and appliances for se.curing tl' is desirable. resul1 t, anid hevlco the lpoposd con. vention ought t.o attract men( from every wvalk of life, especially those who are engaged in making and1( exoe cuting the0 laws of tile State.. The burden of conlstructing anId maiIintain. in~g good roads mulst not fall upon anyl class, and while tile. work of road hbuilding is a pracet ical necessity, there in atlso an im10perat ivo requliroent in) providling the waysT and1 means11 for countructing road(s up~on ani equitable anId just basis5.

[Slpart.anburg Journal.1 Serious trouble is reported from Clemson colleg. A represonative of this paper has secured reliable infor tmiation of an uprising of students and of an assured victory of the studonts. It is thought the trouble will cause one of the professors who is well known there to cease to be a member of the faculty. It 5oms1 that, recently I'rof. W. S. Morrison, teacher of ist,.)ry, gave great offense to Holo members of the senior class and that the professor had htconn very obniron)u to rmarny members of the student blody. In a late instance some of the students be came grossly insulted, antd Cadet Listor, a football leader, organized himself into a grievance committee and dIemandled an ap)ology. An an imated conversation occurred between teacher and pupil. Prof. Morrison calrriedl the case to the faculty and, it is claimled by the .'tudenIts5, sup pressed some of the facts. Lister wI 5 suspendled. The stud(ents, particularly the senior class, were angered by this action. It happened that it was time for a meeting of trustees and the matte, wasI brought to their at tontion. Notice was served1 in a dig nified1 manner by thle seniors the.t if Lister was nlot immed intely reintstated the entire class wvould leave, and the juniors made 11 similar announce mont. It is said1 that t he trustees orderedl Lister reinstaiked at once and ordered Prof. Morrison to apologize to the b)oys, which lhe did. T1he trustees are also said to have assured the boys that they would only have to accept apology as a temporary expedient, from which it is inferred that Prof. Morrison will resign. Prof. Morrison is well known in the city and county, having beeni edui cated at Woffor ' 'nd having lived at Wellford. I , a fine teacher and is generally respected. It seems, however, that he has always been somewhat sovere towards his pupils and uprisings against him by the boys have been narrowly !Iverted several times. While superintendent of public sehools at Greenville he was attacked by mayor S. A. Townea because Townes' son had been so v erely whipped by the professor.
