AMEND REGULATIONS
FOR BIRD PROTECTION
Special to The Gazette-News.
Wrightsville Beach, June 30. The
first session of the 16th annual meet
ing of the North Carolina Bar associa
tion convened last night with over 100
lawyers of the state in attendance.
The meeting was presided over by the
president, Thomas S. Rollins, of the
Ashevlile bar, He introduced George
B. Ellott, of the Wilmington bar, who
in a short arid witty address, welcomed
the visitors to Wilmington and the
beach.
Zeb F. Curtis, of Asheville, made the
response to the address of welcome.
In the course of his remarks he said:
"In looking over the reports of the
meetings of this association since its
organization, I find that almost every
meeting has been held on the seashore
or In the mountains. This is a very
significant fact. It Indicates that when
the association assembles for delibera-1
tion it shall be under circumstances
calculated to inspire the members to
greater effort to uplift the profession
In North Carolina. The spirit of good
fellowship that pervades these meet
ings brings the lawyers of the state
much closer together, and If this asso
ciation ever accomplishes what It was
organized fox It can only be done by i
thb united RUt port of tb memfcerabiir
of the association. The relaxation that
comes from a few days spent In pleas
ant social intercourse under such aus
picious circumstances will build up
enough nerve tissue to go through the
straJ and stress of a long term of
couri when both the Judge and Jury
are on the wrong side of every case
that you have to try. In the prepara
tion of our cases how often do those
words Of the author of Ecclesiastes
come to us 'Of the making of books
there Is bo end, and much study Is a
weariness of the flesh.'
"On behalf of this association, I as
sure my distinguished friend from
Wllmlnxton that we greatly appreciate
the hospitable manner In which we
have been welcomed, and will furnish
you strong, clear, cogent and convinc
ing proof of our enjoyment of your
hospitality while here.'"
Following the addresses of welcome,
President Rollins delivered the presi
dent's annual address.
At the close of the president's ad
dress Chairman A. W. McLean, of the
executive committee, reported that
