QUILL-DRIVERS" MEET.
JOINT MEETING OF EDITOIS
AT THE MECKLENBURG.
An Interesting Meeting Good
Attendance Much Important '
Business Transacted Chate
City a Very Pleasant Place.
The joint meeting of the North-
Carolina and Virginia Press Associa
tions was beld in the Mecklenbtm?
Hotel at Chase City Va on Friday
and Saturday of last week. Ttiel
editor of the Timxs accompanied by
his daughter Miss Lucy, attended,!
and we only have space
ipace and time t
this weuk to give a short account of
the meeting. It was indeed a very
great pleasure to again meet and
mingle with our brother quHldnvers
of the two states, and the most ele
gant entertainment given us by the
management of the Mecklenburg"
will long be remembered. Col. W.
T. Hughes is certainly the "right
man in the right place" as Manager of
one the finest and best kept hotels in
the South, and he has around him
a corps of most efficient and accom
modating assistants. It was our
first visit to the Mecklenburg, and
while we were prepared, from what
we had read and heard, to see a large
and excellent hotel, the half had not
been told. Taken altogether it is one
of the most complete establishments
of its kind in the South'. From what
we saw with our own eyes and from
what we heard from those who are
drinking the mineral water and tak
ing the baths furnished the guests,
w I
we are satisfied that our people who!"16 e?y eP
suffer from rheumatism, eczema, fcc,
need not go hundreds of miles to get
cured, but they can get all they are
looking for right" at home. '
The meetings of the Associations
were yery pleasant all of the ad
dresses and papers very entertaining
and instructive and altogether the
1906 session was a success. Quite a
number of the editors and wives and
daughters took in the trip to .Boston,
leaving Norfolk Monday afternoon.
