' The proceedings and side events of the meeting of the Board of Aldermen Tuesday night wen the most general topics of conversation and discussion on the streets yesterday. There were no developments of marked Interest daring the day saves very general expression of public opinion as to the policy of the Board. It is learned that Chief of Police Furlong will re ceive a public reprimand for his con duct at Tuesday night's meeting but a to the status of the license granted to Bneeden there appears some doubt His license was granted yesterday by the City Clerk and Treasurer but upon presentation of his application to Chairman McEachern, of the Board of County Commissioners, that official refuted to take the responsibility of approving it; first, because the Board only delegated to him the power of approving those license.held over from the meeting last week of which num ber Sneeden's was not one.and second, because in the light of discussion on the street he did not care to take the re sponsibility upon himself of approving the license Chairman McEachern so expressed himself to a reporter last night Be is of the opinion that under the law the Commissioners. In the strictest sense, have discretionary pow er tin granting licenses psssed by the Aldermen and he desires that every Commissioner be given an opportuni ty of exercising that discretion. It was for that reason that a meeting of the Board was not called yesterday as Msj. Win. F. Robertson, a member, was absent in Fayettevllle. It la probable that all members of the Board will be notified to attend a meeting this afternoon for the purpose of passing upon the license. In the meantime, as the old license expired with July 1st, Mr. Bneeden's place of business is supposed to be closed, so fsr as the county Is concerned. AT W RIGHTS VILLE BEACH SATURDAY.

There wiu oe various field sports, yacht races and a race be tween sharpies, the fleetest and pret tiest on the coast Fireworks will be seen on the garrison at night The 31st annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association was called to order by President W. F. Marshal), of the Gestonla Gazette, in the assembly room of the Seashore Hotel, Wrightsville Beacb, at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The at tendance, while not so large as usua Is highly representative of the press of the State and the visitors, Including many wives, daughters and lady friends of the editors, appear to be en joying their brief sojourn at the sea side to the fullest extent. The weath er yesterday made the beach a most inviting place and indications are that conditions will remain favorable dur ing the remainder of the sessions. The exercises opened with a very fervent prayer by Rev. P. B. Law, of the Lumberton Robesonian, following which Becretary J. B. Sherrill, of the Concord Times, called the roll of mem bers. The address of welcome In be half of the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce upon the invitation of which the convention came to Wrights ville this year, was made by Iredell Meares, Esq , who was vary cordial in bidding members of the press of the SUte enjoy themselves at the fa vorite seaside resort of the South. He said it was useless for him to indulge in a pyrotechnlcal display of adjectives of welcome; the hospitality of Oape Fear people was proverbial. He then gave a comprehensive review of the commerce of the port, showing mat tbe annual volume of business exclus ive of that done by the railroads is thirty-two milllQns. Humorously he said that the city of Wilmington an nually sold $335,000 worth of liquor, but it was not all of local consump tion, as we enjoy the presence of about 50,000 visitors from the Inland each year. He spoke of the repre sentative character of the manhood of the Bute before him, and closed amid great applause. The response was by Mr. Roland F. Beasley, of the Monroe Journal, and was a most happy one. He thanked Mr. Meares for the cordiality of his re marks, and assured him the conven tion was pleased to be at Wrlghtr Tille. His talk was short, but witty and to the nolnt. The Executive Committee reported through SUte Labor Commissioner H. R Varner, of the Lexington Dispatch, one of the leading editors of the State. Six new members were elected as fol lows : W. F. Wood, Marlon News; Mrs. J. M. Ransler, Hendersonville Breese; D. E. Kample4 Forest Otty Record; J. H. Qulnn. Shelby Aurora; D. T. Edwards, KlnstonFree Press; S T. Ashe, Wilmington Messenger. The president's annual address, which Is synopslxed elsewhere In to day's pa per, was read and brought forth much applause. A number of valuable sug gestions embodied therein will be In form ally discussed by the editors be fore adjournment to-day. The report was referred to a committee composed of Messrs. Benj. Bell, J. A. xnomss and A. S. Carson. The-report of Sec retary and Treasurer J. B. Sherrill was referred to a committee composed of Messrs. Boylln, Bivins and Bernard. Dr. T. B. Kingsbury responded very gracefully to a resolution of applica tion of his nresence, onrerea oy jar, n. Dowd. of the Charlotte News, .aoA h & rlainsr vote of the vention. . President Marshall's aoaress. President W. F. Marshals annual address was a most able one. He be gan by expressing pleasure at greeting his brethen again in annual and thanking the Association for the honor conferred upon him. He con gratulated those present upon favor ing. Providential conditions which brought them ssfely through another year and permitted so many of them to meet each other again. He joined them in sincerely mourning the ab sence of some whose faces are "lost awhile" and will be seen no more in these fraternal unions.

Influences - Hot weather is here, "j might have been set in motion which Beach is an ideal place to spena a nos and pre sentation in permanent form of the materials for a worthy, history of thos a great editors whose names are writ so law e in North Carolina's past. Presi dent Marshall expressed the hope that in some way, at some early day, some fitting pen may do justice to the lives and memories of these strong sons of the SUte who have gone to their graves "with deathless stories of their eventful lives unwritten." Addressing himself to the immedi ate objects of the convention. Presi dent Marshall urged that business be written first on every day programme. It was a fundamenUl principle; for the constitution declares the object of the Association: "To promote the material interest of the press of North Carolina, and to elevate tbe tone and character thereof." The editors were at WrighUville to Uke counsel to gether for their material betterment and to improve the quality of the work they do. Under the head of material interests tbe speaker said that the newspapers receive for subscription in one year $319,852, for advertising, $290,566 a total of $610,410. In ten years there hss been an increase of $90,000 in sub scription and $78,000 in advertising. However, 85 new publications were launched in ten years and allowing those, $1,000 each for subscriptions and $900 for advertising, the growth in receipts Is accounted for. With an exception here and there the business does not, as a whole, seem to be more prosperous than It was ten years ago. As a remedy enlarged circulation was prescribed. The publication of news papers In New York and North Caro lina was compared. While the former published receives comparatively less per pound for the completed news paper and he sells at a smaller profit his volume of "le so much larger that his business is profitable. The trouble Is the North Carolina edi tors doesn't sell enough pounds. The ahorUge in his income is due to tbe shortage in his circulation. Here is the very crux of the problem of the newspaper man's success. The en largement of profiUble circulation is the foundation of Increased prosperity. In ten years our average circulation has increased but 10 per cent, the population has Increased 17 per cent A stimulant is needed. "Get wisdom, get knowledge, get undersUnding, get advertising, but with all thy getting, get subscribers," admonished the presi dent Discussing the question, "Is the Field Covered!" Mr. Marshall took the noaitlon that orenerallv it is not. Figures were presented to prompt the serious question whether half the voting population of the State reads the newspapers. In New Jersey, news paper, circulation Is six times the voting population ; In New York nine teen times. North Carolina is good missionary ground for the scholmas terandthe newspaper man; the for mer to keep school for the children; the newspaper man to keep school for everybody. Advertising was treated under the heads, local, legal and foreign. Culti vation of the "local field was urged. Thsexaction as to position, type and changes and the low prices offerrd, make much foreign advertising un desirable. Preference should be given the local advertiser. When the weary editor is about to sign a contract for somebody's pills, or pain balm, or baking powder, or fewer gallons last longer, or children cry for it, or Sunny Jim. for less than it costs him to pro- rfnm (h iiues reauired.let him re fleet If- the newspaper has space to give away, the speaker submitted that the home advertiser has first claims. Considering the tone and char acter of our newspaper, Presi dent Marshall observed that if the press is poor in cash It is indeed rich in character. The high moral tone and the public "and private virtues of her newspapers are one of the crown ing glories of North Carolina. Sen sationalism does not flourish and venality, that unclean bird is as strange as it is unclean. In character of the work done there has been a notable advance in ten years. Treating the editorial page as one 'which gives character to a peper, the president urged tbe devotion of more editorisl space to matters nearer home, thlne-s we know something about, local affairs, If you please. "Again, there are relations which the editorial page sustains to the public In a larger sense sometimes Involving the duty of arraigning men and measures at the bar of public opinion and vigorously exposing thelr demerits. It I a duty calling for wisdom, prudence, wear per ception, and strong adherence to what is risrht The safest guide for the editor here is embodied In the law un- are governed every day. Present no one for envy, hatred or malice; neither leave any uapresented for fear, favor, or affection, reward orpiope of reward. President Marshall closed by wish ing members of the Association a pleasant and profitable sojourn at WrighUville, returning to their labors with renewed zeal, replenished energy, a keener appreciation of the dignity of their high calling and devotion to the welfare of the whole State, which shall constrain each one to repeat with Increased affection the sentiment of our own Steckard: I love tbee, fairest of an lands, my borne. From lonely Hatteras where tbe breakers come To wbere reared In tbe heavens stands thy dome - North Carolina! The Afternoon Session. The convention upon reassembling in tbe afternoon heard with much pleasure an interesting essay by Mr. J. D. Bivins. the talented editor of the Albemarle Enterprise, upon the sub ject "Typographical Correctness and Mechanical Excellence; Are They Worth While?" It is regretted that a copy of his excellent address was not received as expected so that a more extended notice could be given. Tbe only other feature of the after noon session was a fine treatise of the subject "The Local Advertiser, How May He Be Best Secured and Retained," by Mr. D.J. Whlchard, of the Greenville Reflector. Mr. Which ard began by emphasizing the impor tance of advertising to a newspaper. While the foreign field may bring some returns, they are not at all com mensurate with the trouble necessita ted in caring for that class of patrons. These everlasting iron-clad, top of column, next to reading matter,- on home news page, first following read ing matter, with reading matter on three sides and half way on the other side, and. such various other kindred stipulations are a bore and nuisance to the average newspaper man. Among the local advertisers no such exactions are required. The home field ia en tilled to our best attention. It is va ried and no fixed rule can be given by which all home fields may be worked. Thn individual peculiarities of men must ba studied and the man must adapt himself to those pe culiarities. Patience and perseverance are necessary to these ends. The local advertiser may best be secured by "keeping everlastingly at It" or at him.. Be persistent but not obtrusive. Show the men solicited that advertis- SPEND FOURTH OF JULY Wrightsville Beach.

The day has passed when business men put advertisements in a paper just to help It along because the n&ner is a eood thing to have in the community. "How May He Best be Served and Retained" are companion ideas and were treated by Mr. Whichard con junctively. If you serve an adver tiser well you will retain him, and you cannot retain him unless you serve him. Give him what he wants as far as possible. Get tbe points and write a good ad. for him, if he desires it. Give him position if he wants it and is willing to pay for it. Don't worry too much over .the idea that advertisements spoil the looks of the first page. Give the advertiser full .value. Encourage frequent chaneesand make the advertising as well as the news columns attractive. Treat the local advertiser as well as you do the foreign patron. If you cut rates at all let it be for the home man. Tbe Night Session. The feature of the evening session waa the annual oration by Mr. Archi bald Johnson, the talented editor of Charity and Children, Thomasville, N. O. Mr. Johnson had for his sub ject "Three Things" and any attempt at a synopsis would do the orator an injustice. Mr. Johnson expressed a desire to be perfectly practical and he was so Indeed, if not iconoclastic. The "three things" embodied in bis sub ject were "Freedom, Fairness and Faithfulness." Each of these divis ions of his subject were treated witn force, vim and eloquence. Mr. John son's oration is a creditable contribu tion to the newspaper literature of the age. He was given the undivided at tention of the Association and the most enthusiastic applause. The following resolution offered by Mr. R. F. Beasley, was unanimously adopted : "Recognizing the great importance of an adequate presentation of the indus tries and resources of North Carolina at the World's Exposition at St. Louis In 1904. Resolved, by tne worm usrouna Press Association, that we most hearti ly endorse the effort being made by the State administration, and by Gover nor Aycock, to raise by private sub scription tbe sum of $10,000 to dupli cate a like sum offered by tbe State for this purpose, thereby making pos sible a fitting exhibition on that oc casion." m . The Programme forie-dsy. The business session will begin this morning at 9 o'clock. The first busi ness to be taken up will be the report of the committee on memorials. Mr. Frank R.
