The members of the South Carolina Press Association rallied here in force today for what promises to be the most notable annual meeting ever held by their association. In addition to discussing a wide variety of subjects relating to newspaper making the editors will have Cov. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, here to deliver an address to them Friday evening. The business of the meeting will be concluded Saturday and fhe next day the editors, accompanied by a large party of relatives and friends, will go to Charleston and take a steamer for New York, where a week will be spent in sight-seeing. youth, just when you were buddhig Into manhood. You came with willing hearts and sturdy courage in response to the call. You fell into line and gave your services in defence of the llag. In memory you stand witli your comrades when all the countryside had gathered to bid you good bye, when loving devoted mothers came with their sons, offering them to their country, wives stood hard by and with tearful eyes bade good bye to husband, sisters were there to render their share in the sacrifice, sweet-hearts <111110 I > express their devotion to country, the sobbing over-full hearts told what it was costing the dear ones lest at home to give ol' the best and fairest of their dear ones to that cause. You cannot forget that parting, for it was painted upon the tablets of memory with an indellible stamp. So many went out who did not return again, Oh, the cruelties of war. The prayer of the devout mother, of the devoted wife, of sister and sweet-heart could not soften or mitigate the horrors of the battle. Wrong in whatever shape it assumes Is pittiless when entrenched, it becomes tyrannical, op-* pressive, and wren conscious of its own strength it ventures forth and becomes aggressive. It is u well established principle of law, that for every violation of that law there must be an atoning commensurate with the wrong done. So in that great conflict from '61 to '(15, the USED YOUNGSTER On Saturday afternoon a number of young frieiula of Robert K., sou of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Zimmerman, of East End, gathered at bis'home and tendered him a surprise, it being the ninth anniversary of ins birth.

The dining room was prettily decorated in pink and white, and the center of the table was adorned with a huge heart worked in flowers. From each plate lead a ribbon to the flower heart. Attached to each ribbon was a carnation and dangling underneath were tlie cards bearing the names of Miss Henry and Mr. Horn, with the date, June 28, 101 1. When the flro broke out there wan no one in the house and its origin Is .1 complete mystery. At the Brody home on Toronto street, curtains blowing over a lamp caused the blaze. An alarm was turned in. but the blaze was extinguished before the fire company hint turned out. The damage was very slight. The Central Fire company responded to the morning alarm in recordbreaking time and found the entire upper story of the Love home ablaze. Valliant work saved the house from total destruction, but the loss is almost. complete. The contents of the upstairs of the house were completely destroyed and the lower story and its contents were damaged to a great extent by water. The loss is about $15,000 partially covered by insurance.Homo of Matthew Love is Almost i 'ompletely IK'st royed Two fire alarms were turned in yesterday, olio about 1<» o'clock in the morning and the other aTTout 7:30 in the evening.

NEW YORK, May 31.—Henry Coolidge, a member since 1884, was suspended from the Stock Exchange today.. great wrong of the age nttrei. be atoned for and it was a fearful penalty that we were required to pay. The fair South land, so rich and proud, where the fostered wrong was greatest, had to bear the greater share of the punishment. Its fair homes and fruitful fields were made desolate and laid waste. Its pride was touched and its wealth wasted with a prodigal hand, desolation marked with withering blast all the products ofr the slave. The wealth built upon slave labor was wasted. The advocates of that wrong fell, many of them, on the field of battle, and broken with disease and wounds, they were beaten back to start life anew upon different foundations. The North, with its freemen, had to make great sacrifices to preserve our •nationality, thus the innocent were made to suffer with the guilty. The Nortih had to pay the penalty of neglect. The sin of omission must be compensated for, Just the same as that of commission. There are so many thoughts which crowd the past of which mention might with profit be made, and perhaps with more profit than what Is said here, but as times does not permit, it is tint a passing glance at the historic events of fifty years ago, that mention is now made. The recall of the past is only profitable as its lessons are read with an understanding mind, and put into practical use. What is said here today wil soon be forgotten, and it will vnly be what we do as we progress towards aht coming days. Several generations of people have sonu* upon life's stage since 1801, It is now forty-six years since the war closed with the surender of Lee and Ills army at Appomattox, the results of that peace have been growing in its progress until the present gentratlon engaged as It Is in the contest for personal wealth and the power which money appears to bring to its possessor, that many, too many of the Important conditions of self-government are being neglected.

VERA ORl'Z, Mex., May 31.— General Diaz, an exile fro m the country ho ruled for a third of a century, sailed today on the steamer Yplrango for Havana, from which place he will later sail for Spain. He Is broken hearted. Only a handful of loyal supporters aw him off. DIAZ LEAVES VERA CRUZ OHIO Mil era When the sound reached you, you were penhaps, following the plow, you stopped to listen to that sound; you may have been In the school iroom when its echoes reached uyou, the books were laid aside to listen to tile angry tones of that gun; the clerk in the office stopped his accounts to listen, t'he lawyer in his .office laW'aslde his brief to listen; tbe minister in the pulpit stopped in jhia sermon to listen, the woodman felling the pine trees of the forest laid oMde his axe at the root of the tree to listen; the laborer stopped in hli labor to listen, and In answer to the call to arms, you came from your •vocations. In the spring-time of your Up Mahoning street they marched to the bridge, countermarched down Mahoning and returning the procession wended its way to the old cemetery, where services were held over the grave om Captain E. H. Little, eorge Hall, chaplain of the local G. A. R. post, offered prayer, which was followed by the G. A. R. ritual. H. Clay Compbell, Esq., delivered the Memorial address, an address that stirred the hundreds that heard it, and called to mind the deeds of the brave departed. He said: Comrades, Ladies of the Relief Corps, Sons of Veterans and other Patrl" otic Orders, Ladies and Gentlemen— ') 'For twenty-nine years annually, Capt. E. H. Little Post No. 237, R. A. R. has kept and observed Memorial Day In accordance with the ritual of the Grand Army of the Republic. The observance of the ceremonies of this 30th day of May, 1911, has and should have more than passing Interest to you my comrades, as well as to every loyal patriot in the land. It was fifty years ago the 12th day of April, 1911, half a century since that fateful shot was fired by traitor .hands across Charleston harbor at Fort Sumpter. That shot fired at the forth, with its garrison of soldiers of the regular army, under command of MaJ. Anderson, was not fired at them so much as individuals, but it was an attack upon that flag which we all love and are so proud of, ail assault upon the Union inspired by rebel hands and traitor hearts. , While the people of the North were perusing their avocations of peace, the polltcal horizon was clouded with ominous clouds, and during the fall ■and winter of 1861, the mutterlngs of discontent on the part of the slave power were growing more bittter, and like the on-coming storm the mad forces were operating, the people of the North were so engrossed in their peaceful occupations that they oould not believe that the people of the South would make on open attempt upon the life of the nation, and when that fateful gun was fired, its terrible tones were carried over valley, plain, hill, mountain, river and forest until it was heard by the Inmates of tvery home and hamlet in all thin broad land. You, my comrades, can go back In memory and call up from that eventful past the rude awakening. The flag was brpught out and the fife and drum beat the stirring strains of martial music, calling upon you to take up arms and fight the battles of your country. The' veterans of tile civil war marched again yesterday; ttie graves of those who had defended the Union were appropriately decorated and few were the resting places of the depatred that were .not covered with flowers by loving hands. It was an ideal Memorial day. Contrary to all expectations it did not rain and as a consequence the program for the day was carried off without a hitch and Punxsutuwney entertained many visitors. Promptly at 9:30 o'clock the parade began forming on the public Kquare and at 10 o'clock it was in motion with the members of the G. A. R., Capt. E. H. Little post, headed by Hadden's drum corps, leading the procession. Following came the W. R. C. little girls carrying flowers, in and their wake one hundred boys carrying flags. The Citizens band, the Sons of Veterans, the Patriotic Order Sons of America, the Junior and Senior Order of United American Mechanics followed. the sabre and nianui'd the battleships, the individual, record of 1 hose brave men must ha remembered in the record of the leading generals, who commanded them in many batlies in which tliey performed such valllant services. It is iniLj/sslble to gather tlid preserve ill historic form the individual aots of jjhch soldier who wore the blue, theyrean and will be remembered by tlitr valient deeds they did and the Vtrtfiries they won. The contributions to the war from tills locality, which at that time was but slightly populated, will compare well with any other locality. There was a full share of volunteers, and almost every family in tliis part of t he country was represented in some branch of the service. The part they as individuals took in the war was Important and each one in his placo performed the work assigned him with due credit to himself and the locality from which lie came. The record can be pointed to with such pride as gives pleasure to recall. My comrades today you cannot but go back across the years of that eventful past and recall the faces and forms of your companions and comrades who went out to battle with you who did not return, they were the sacrifices laid upon the altar of the coutnry and were offered to appease the anger of war. So many of our schoolmates and boyhood companions have fallen and now sleep In unknown but not forgotten graves. Today we again recal them with the nost tender feelings and as memory carries us back, It is with the Inquiry we ask ourselves the question, why was it that they should fall and we »e spared? It Is then most fitting 'hat we the living, should come here The collector for The Spirit will call on all city subscribers during the coming week. Please do not make a second call necessary.—1 Continued on Page Two. THE WEATHER. WASHINGTON, D. C., May Folowing is the forecast for Western Pennsylvania: Thunder storms this afternoon and tonight.
