A MASQUERADE PARTY.
Given By the Visiting Young Ladies
At Piedmont Springs On Last
Thursday Night.
One of the most enjoyable oc
casions that has taken place in
this section for quite a while was
the masquerade party given by
the visiting young ladies at Pied
mont Springs last Thursday night,
between the hours of eight and
eleven o'clock, in the ball room at
that place.
Those in attendance were at
tired in costumes of every con
ceivable kind, emh ono wearing a
mask so that you were entirely
ignorant as to who was who.
The scene in the ball room was
indeed ghost-like, almost making
one's hair stand on end. But soon
masks, etc., were put aside and
the remainder of the evening
spent in various- amusements,
chief of which was dancing. Col.
Jno. M. Galloway, who always do
lights in such tasks, led in the
square dance and the Virginia
reel, enabling those who partic
ipated to execute some very pretty
figures.
What was by no means an un
important feature of the occasion
was the serving of the most de
licious refreshments.
Excellent music was furnished
throughout the evening by the
Nelson-Bennett band.
Everyone felt very much in
debted to the ladies for an evening
of such genuine pleasure and
amusement. Among those who
took prominent parts in giving
the party were Misses Ada and
Miunie Allen, Minnje Ross, Ellen
Nrfrfieet, Laura Noell and others.
They were by no means unfamiliar
with the art of-entertaining.

! THE N. C. PRESS CONVENTION.
The Meeting At Morehead Last Week
One Of the Pleasantest In the
History Of the Association.
The annual meeting of the
North Carolina Press Association
was liekl last Wednesday and
Thursday at Morehead City. These
gatherings of the quill-drivers are
always occasions of pleasure and
benefit. This one was especially
so. Morehead is an ideal resort.
The sailing, fishing and surf-bath
ing are fine, not to bo excelled
anywhere on the Atlantic coa6t.
The Atlantic hotel is under ex
cellent management, and throngs
of people in the search of comfort
as well as health and rest, from all
sections of the State, frequent its
delightful precincts.
At the meeting of the Associa
tion valuable information and use
ful knowledge were coupled with
charming social features. We had
the pleasure of listening to able
addresses by Mr. J. P. Caldwell,
editor of the Charlotte Observer;
Mr. Josephus Daniels, editor of
the Raleigh News and Observer;
by Messrs. R. M. Phillips, Arch
ibald Johnson, and other distin
guished ann accomplished mem
bers of the press fraternity.
Congressman Small, who is a
very learned and graceful speaker,
delivered an address on his inland
waterway scheme, aud showed what
a great thing this project will be
not only for eastern North Car
olina, but for the Piedmont and
western sections of the State in
the great reduction of freight rates
that it will guarantee. Congress
man Chas. R. Thomas also ad
dressed the convention, while
Prof. Carlylo, of Wake Forest Col
lege, treated the audience to one
of his usual inspiring talks.
It has been a long timesinoe we
enjoyed an occasion more than the
Morehead reunion. There we
found many old friends, and made
lots of new ones. The social fea
tures of the meeting were varied
and delightful. Fishing parties
and visits to points of interest
such as Beaufort, Fort Macon, etc.,
generally occupied the days, after
the business meetings had ad
journed. At night the sound, a
beautiful sheet of water several
miles in width, was alive with the
sailing boats nnd gasoline launch
es, loaded down almost to the
water's edge with men and women.
Many a midnight found us far out
ou the bay, some times having
passed through Beaufort iulet aud
into the bosom of the ocean sev
eral miles, drifting in the embrace
of a fine breeze. Some splendid
voices were always in the crowd,
and music added to the delights
of the occasion.
Now officers elected by the As
sociation were as follows : Presi
dent, Archibald Johnson, editor of
Charity and Children; First Vice-
President, M. L. Shipman, editor
of the Hendersonville Hustler ;
Second Vice-President, J. E. Car
son, editor of the Alleghany Star ;
Third Vice-President, ;
Peet, J. A. Robinson, of the Dur
ham Sun; Orator, James H. Cuine,
of the Ashevillo Citizen. Of
course the Secretary and Treasur
er, Mr. J. B. Sherrill, of the Con
cord Times, was re-elected. Mr.
Slierrill is universally popular
with the members of the Associa
tion, and it couldn't got along
without him.
