" (Special to News and Observer.) ;. Chase City, V., July 13. There Is a fine "attendance here of both North Carolina and Virginia editors at the annual press joint convention of both States. Some of the editors are ac companied by their wives and daugh ters and the occasion Is therefore all the more enjoyable.,. These Joint ses sions of the editors of. both States have made air present well-acquinted and thisv session notes the renewal of warm friendship. . The address of welcome on the part of this city, was yhade at the opening session b- Mayor Smith. The address of welcome on behalf of the Virginia association was made by Kdltor W. i-. Copeland, of the ltlchmond Times-Dispatch. He. was; happy as always. Horn In North Carolina and residing In Virginia he Is the connect ing link between the. two State asso ciations. Tbe response to the address of welcome was made by Mr. W. -"C. Dowd, editor of the Charlotte News. As tbe editor of North Carolina's first -afternoon newspaper. Mr. Dowd did the craft of North Carolina proud by his happy address of welcome. i President PtillllpV Address. At the conclusion. of there pleasant addresses, - the - president, Mr. It. M. Phillips, of Raleigh. ' delivered the president's address, which was as fol lows: .-.... -At the outset of the- brief address which I shall make this morning I desire to express my sincere and grateful appreciation of the 'horicfc conferred upon me -one year ago when I was unanimously elected president of the North Carolina Press Association, at the largest meeting of editors ever assembled In the State. It Is an hon or of which any member' of the asso ciation might well feel proud, and the measure of pride which I feel is. am ply Justified by the high character and calling of the men whose right and privilege It was to , confer - the honor. .. r ': "Last year we. met among the tow- - ering mountains of the Tar Heel State, where the welcome extended us by those warm-blooded and cordial moun taineers was no lers inspiring than the grandeur of the scenery, the lofty peaks smiling down from the blue Tcurtained canopy of the skies upon . beautiful stream stretching away like silvery ribbons across the velvet green carpet of nature's Rden. This year we are fortunate in being assembled In this charming rendezvous among the historic hills of Old Virginia, where the manhood, chivalry and beauty of the two best States In the Union can - meet and mingle together. Mere, within these walls, and .about the spacious grounds of the Justly famous " ' Mecklenburg Hotel under the benign smile of our host. Colonel Hughes, Carolina and Virginia meet in a fam ily reunion, for verily we are one fam ily, one .In Interest, commercially and industrially, one t in sentiment and 'thought, bone of each other's bone, and blood of each other's blood, sepa rated simply by an Invisible line es- ' tablLshed only for the purposes of po-. lltlcnr government. : - To the Tar Heel On gentle summer v zephyrs, as they ; rustle the leaves in grove, forest and fleld in the Old Dominion, sing as sweet a song of ybome and of . welcome as is heard . among the pines or along the rippling brooks and murmuring rivers of .our own fair Carolina, !Let us here more tlrmlv cement the bonds of warm hearted friendship and fraternal love .which bind us together. It was a hap py thought, this coming together of - the members of the Virginia and North ' Carolina Press Association In 'joint meetings, and as president of : the latter association' I most heartily y nnd earnestly recommend the con tinuance of the custom bo auspicious ly begun one year ago. I would pre serve and . maintain the individuality ' and distinctiveness of each assocla- t t ioit on the DrlnclDle that I believe . . Jn' every editor of a newspaper con y ducting his business in such manner " : as will best suit the conditions and serve the best interests of the com munlty or territory in which his pe- , per circulates in the details of shop, - or tn the things which make for con- ; trol and the promotion of man which i best, for the various communities. Each tub must stand onf its own bot torn if influenceis to be securedand 'nta.titarfned. . but in the big. broad ' spirit of fraternity v.- and " in the de- ?Jopment of pride in the dignity and Importance of the newspaper pro- fession. in taklnsr unto ourselves -a 5: larger view and" a more appreciative understanding of the power and mis sion of tbe newspaper, we should con- v tinue to come together In these annual gatherings. Out of this beginning I hope to see a strong Southern v Press Association come, not sectional in the sense in which the word 'see ' tlonal is-so often used, but sectional . a for the purpose of more quickly and firnjly convincing all the hewspapers ,-of the South of their importance and of their opportunity to do still greater , things In (he march or unparalleled ' progress that Is on In this peculiarly favored part of the nation "I might assume tho prerogative of; speaking at length of duties that de volve, upon the man In the business office, or upon the men at the editorial desk,' but that would be a waste of time.t We have here a program con sisting of a variety of practical sub jects, to be handled1 by men who are practical and Intelligent. These I commend to your thoughtful and care ful attention. From.; them you will be able to secure valuable -suggestions. With such a program and with such speakers as those who wlu follow me. 1 shall not consume your time with a long ! list of recommendations, espe cially when those who are to speak are so much, morel competent to ad vise and Instruct vuu than 1 am. 'The list of members of the North Carolina Press Association Is already a long one, but it I should be longer: It . already contains the names ot many of the most progressive news paper men In the State, but It does not contain the names of all that should be there. I would, therefore suggest that a campaign for new members be Inaugurated. We should make It a point to try to bring every newspaper editor and publisher In the State Into 'the association. We) can do them good and they can do us good. , "The- policy or the association should be to encourage and stimulate originality and independent ' think ing among the meaabers of the craft. It Is all right to have id&iUa to emu late; worthy examples, hut it Is all wrong to be n thoughtless and opln lonless ."me too because some leather-lunged spieler! with a frutta prc ha pencil and a Lig bundle o. manifold paper makes noise enough to indicate that he is on the popular side of a question. It is better to-stand alone for true principles and right pllcles than to trot In a drove to the mu&ic of the' fife and drum of the! demagogue. Tike most powerful factor In the entire newspaper world Is the country weefcy, or rather It I the: privilege and opportunity of the country weekly to become ine most powerful factor. The small country weekly is dowa next to the people, and can easily . reach ;the masses, from whom power must be derived in a gov eminent like ours. U That all who sre thus favorably situated are not mak ing' the 'most of their opportunities It Is very easy to see. We should. If (Continued on Page Five.)

Tlie Invasion of the Country by the Forces" of ; Salvador? Con- fcJderetl a Declaration i ! of War. i I (By the Associated Press.) New York, July 13. A telegram from Guatemala says: Fresh hostili ties! have takt-n plae on the border. The! Invasion of the country by Salva dorean troops Jj considered to be a declaration of war. War Is ax-cepted here by official ) decree. The country Oius been placed jundr martial law and there Is a general cftll to arms. Washington. lJuly 13. A cable gram received at trif State Department today from Mlnjxter Merry, at San Ha! vador statrs that continuous fighting Is proceeding ojn the border line be tween Ouatemaia and Salvador! also that the (iuatemala troops havu crossed the line Into Honduras. Tlio lattt-r is underwood : to be of the Oua tetmilun attack -on the fugitives) of Ragalado's army after that leader wa:? killed yesterday. From these advices the impression Is given here that President abrer:i, of Guatemala ho Ms the key to the sit uation and the question of war or peace depends Upon the success of the ffoi rts which the State Department Is now'maklng td Induce him to forego attacking tlther Salvador or Honduras In! retaliation for the iart played In the attempted revolution by Salvado rean troops under Raglado. It Is re ported to the State Department th it Cabrera has gathered a force of no less than 40.000 men under arms. - At the instance of the State De partment today cabled to Commander Mulligan, of the Marblehead, at Pa no ma, to proceed Immediately to Salva dor to safeguard American Interests, She should arrive today or tomorrow. There Is no American warship within 2,500; miles of thv scene of trouble so the Marblehead may have to di vide her time between Salvadorean and Guatemalan ports, subject to the call of the American minister at eith er San Salvador or Guatemala City. : During the j day a cablegram was received at the State Department from Mr. Drown, the secretary of the Amer ican legation ,'at f Guatemala City. It appears that Minister Combs m,issed th steamer at Salina Crus on his re turn to Guatemala City from Cham- pertco. and consequently cannot reach his post before the 20th instant, so Mr. Brown is! acting as charge. He reports continued fighting near Con tepenque, in the neighborhood of the place where Regalado was killed yes terday. The aggressive attitude of Salvador toward Guatemala was, Mr. Hrown says, rea,ly on account of the personal act$ of Regalado's troops consequently his : death has removed the principal obstacle to the restora tion of peace. Minister Merry at San Salvador also sent a cablegram today to the depart ment stating ithat Salvador was quite willing to cease hostilities but com plained against the aggressive attitude of Guatemala. Senor J. Rj Pacus, who was coming to Washington as a special agent of the government of Salvador to en deavor to make peace with Guatemala, had been recAllel and his mission has beeh Indeflnitrly otponed. The State Department has been in correspondence by wire with Ambassa dor Thompson at the City of Mexico and he has enlisted the active, sup port of the Mexican government for the effort now j being made by the State Ik-partment to prevent what might easily, prove to be a general war Mwwn Central American re public north off Panama.
