NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASSOCIATION "The Narth Carolina Press Asso ciation met in its 54th annual fes .aino in Hickory last Wednesday. Just 48 years ago the association met in Hickory, holding its sessions ?ait Sparktr^R ' Cntawln Springs, | about 8 'miles from the city. The. re were two members who attended | that association present at the last | meeting, namely , Judge Francis D. Winstsn and Hort. Josiephus Daniels. The meeting was largely attended and groat interest was manifested thiwjghoyt. In fact it wa* business from start to. finish, and wa? Ihi* ?aoct^putstar^n^ m^et^ng'^^ Jim ye ptw attend#!. The outstanding fea ture was the derision to put on an jiU-time secretary, the pre<* general ly believing that such a move, was the one tiling generally needed to make the association worth while to cee ry member. ? The membreship is composed largely of weekly news pepere, and while the new plan for ;in all-time secretary will place most *Cf the cost or* the dailies they, with out a single exception, voted to a? * -some this co?t. Mr. A. C. Honeycut, of the Stanley - Kews Herald, was elected president, and Mrs. Beatrice Cobb, of the Mor gan!^ -News Herald, was again elected secretary and treasure*. The editor of The Courier was honored by being made ote of the executive ? ommittee. At a called meeting of the executive committee held at Blowing Rock Mr. Bill Ar^ Ltrwran$e, ?<rf the Mecklenburg Times, was Hiieeted whole-time secretary. There was not a great deal of speech making, but it wasf of a high order. Judge Francis D. Winston, .Dr. Thomas Di.von and Rev. Dr. l?Vwest J. Prettvmari, formerly chap pain of the United Statv> Senate, <?c Kvered addresses which w< e oat *>f the ordinary; The AssociatioTv has met in s.crnc *p]endid i-ities, and entertained royal ly, but we believe , we speak the ?troth When we pay t ?'wit the city of HHklcory surpassed them all. We ] were entertained at Hotel Hickory, which is under the direct manage ment of Mr. Wade H. Lcwry, who i% presdient of Ix>wry Hotels. Mr. ix**Ty iis a prince of good fellows, and if any member of the associa tion wanted for anything it was be cause Mr. Ixiwry did not kn ~\v it This magnificent hotel has just bven -opened and is easily one of the best in the St*te. It cost about four hundred thousand dollars, and was iniit by the- citizens of Hickory, there being more than nine hundred ?citizens who c3ntTibnt?d to the stock. This alone gives you tome idea of the way those Hickory n<o jfle A> things. The Hickory Cham ber of Commerce, the Daily Record. ju<4 in fact every citizen of the city seemed tj. think they were responsi ble for the happiness of very one jreaent and they -were on t'.ie job every minute of the time. On Thursday night the Daily Record gave n banquet to the visitors, and it war sime feast. But eating waa not hy far the mo?t enjoyable leatare, for Hon. W. A. Self, a lf.cal ?ttomTyT^hart charge of the program and he had s.omtHing oh tap all- the white. Tirst came' the famous negro <<purtette, who sang white we did J? tice to the'slx' c ur*e feast. Af ' ter Lfei* Mr. Self ? announced that t>y mu<?h- persuasion they hiad in who came from a section of the County, noted in days of the past, for producing what the beat jurists declared t> be the purest, and hen, mountain lickcr in the world. But, said Sir, Self, "those days are gone forever." This trio was composed of two gentlemen and one lady, Mr. and Mrs. "Coon Martin" and "Doug, head Bill," using the violin, guitar and banjj, and you can take our word for it, they made MUStC. Such as "Chicken in the Straw," Peek-a-Boo," "Little Brown Jug," and many other 'classicals" of the olden days. In fact, "Coon Martin refuses to play jazz, for he says no living man can pat his foot t> j?z. THiw trio was dressed in typical mountain dress of long ago. and their brogue was something wonder ful. In all candor, we have seen what was considered the best in comedy in the larger cities but never have .ve seen anything to surp .ss this South Mountain Trio, they are every one artists. They caught the I crowd and held them from start to ' finish. At the Close of their per formance they stuod before the audience, with some of their make up removed and Mr. Self introduced Dr. J. H. Shuford, of the Hickory Hospital, and Mr. and Mrs. O. Sim mons, Mr. Simmons being the prop rietor of the Hickory Music Store. -^Friday, morning the e"mfTre*ic sociation was given a trip to Blow ing Rock by the Hickory Chamber of Commerce, the trip being guided by Mr. Ad>lph, the secretary of the lOumibtr of Commerce; Passing that thriving little city, Lenoir, we paused for a few moments and was welcomed by the Lenoir Chamber of Commerce. At the Rock a barbecue dinner was served in the grove at Mayview Man of. , There were quite a number of ladies attending the association, and they were entertained by the ladies of Hickory, one of the features be in*.* reception at the club house on Thursday afternoon, where they were received by more than two handred. The ladies agree with the men in "aying it was the best ever. Hickory is one of the moat pro gressive eities of its claas. W? are glad tn say there is nothing of the mushroom absut it, but its growth is substantial; and we are priud to say we did not see a single farm three or four miles out which had heen cut rip into town lots. They manufacture about forty one dif ferent articles m their many fac t;ries, and with such a variety of manufacturing they never kn:w what dull times means. ? We can not close this little article without giving .special praise to Mr. Wc f.who was our host to the Reck, and to our young friend and former citizen, Dr. R. T. Hambrick. It was ri. delight tD hear so many nice things said about him, and we were struck with what one citizen said. Dr. Hambrick, said he, is a very busy man, for with his practice and his "courting," it keeps him on" the jump. Reminds us of that adage, "Like father, like son." We could fill every column we have ?with stuff about Hickory and then the half would not have been told, but when you plan that nvuntain trip arrange to spend the first Might in Hickory at the Hotel Hickory and then you will agree with os that Hickory fs "some town."
