ThursdayAugust 7, 1919 NUMBER U (RiBEIEE NORTH CAROLINA Met at Wrightsville Beach Last Weekr-Headquarters at Oceanic Hotel Secretary of the Navy Daniels Pres entConcrete Ship Launched. The North Carolina PresaAssociat-, ion met at Wrightsville last week with headquarters at the Ocannic Hotel. The meet tag was one of the best in the history of the association as well as one of the most interesting. Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels, a mem ber of the association, was present and addressed the editors. Mr. Daniels was Civcn quite an oration by his brother editors and by the. people of Wilraing-j ton. In his address he said that a new day dawned in this country when the first ship left American shores for Europe laden with American soldiers.' He said 'that it was the duty of the press of the state and the nation to raise up before the people" the new ideal and the new objective as it did when we were at war, crystalizing and focusing the public mind on the new objectives that replace the ob jective of victory that we have f ol-; lowed for two years." .. ! Woman's suffrage, child labor laws that will give the children of the land their intended birthright, public health, hospitals that are as free as the public schools, a clear 'political life, and a conception of government as an organization of service and not as a punitive organization, were ob-. jectives held up .to the editors. He urged them to go home and write about these thinjrs, with the vision oi the world as it may be made, to work lor them, until the vision comes time, as did the vision of . victory that the press of the land held up before its, people until rt came. j Mr. Daniels paid a glowing tribute to the press when he said that the newspaper men of this country had been of incalculable value and aid to the Government during the war. ! In speaking before the shipbuilders of Wilmington Mr. Daniels said that the American people realized the real meaning of sea power as never Detore. He assured the men that we will build a merchant marine that shall carry our commerce to the ends of the earth and again pl&ceotlr vwftag In every country of the world. .. Another address of special interest was that of Dr. Jobe Taylor, a print paper manufacturer of Roanoke Rapids North Carolina. He traced the manu facture of print paper from the growth of the tree from which it is made un til it. goes on the press and in conclu sion "he urged that a live committee be appointed to urge forest preserva tion, elimination of waste and curtail ment of forest fires. Probably the most interesting event to the newspaper people was the launching of the Cape Fear, the first concrete ship to be built in North Caro lina. It has required fifteen months of unremitting labor to build this ship. She is 263 feet long and 3,600 tons RAMSEUR NEWS Death of 'Aged Lady Other News Mr. J. W.

Under full cargo she will draw 24 feet of water. Her equipment wjll be a 1,100 horsepower engine, supplied with steam from coal burning boilers. Her speed will be 11 knots. Within a few days she will be taken to Jacksonville, Fla., where her machinery will be in stalled. The North Carolina editors witness ed the launching from the United States revenue cutter Seminole which sailed up the river from the Carolina Ship Yards where a most elaborate luncheon had been served and a tour of inspection had been made. The Sem inole stood immeditely in front of the concrete ship and waited for an hour after the time set for the launching while the workmen tugged away re leasing the cradle which held her in place. Finally the alarm was given and the massive ship slid idewise into the water with tremendous force. The people were spellbound as she dipped almost over on one side and then to the other and then in a second's time she was in place and a tug boat began tew ing her down the river. The whistles of the factories blew as did those on the different boats in the river laden with people to witness the launching. Mrs. Lewis R. Ferguson, wife of the president of the Liberty Shipyard, was sponsor of the ship and indulged in the time honored custom of breaking the bottle of champagne on her keel as she started into the water. The editors unanimously endorsed the league of nations. Quite a sensa tion was sprung when Parker Ander son, editor of the Greensboro Record and The Wilmington Dispatch, wno was made a member of the asso ciation the day bfore, sprung objection to the 10th amendment in the league. He was given all sorts of indulgence and was so anxious to know the real sentiment of the individual members that he called for a vote bv roll call. Again Mr. Anderson was' indulged and to his entire satisfaction his own vote was recorded against it. Two oavei conditional votes were also recorded on the nays. Mr. Anderson then made the motion to make it unanimous. Mr. Z. V. Whitehead, president of the Association, left no stone unturned in preparing for the editors' comfort and weliare. Mr. Rogers, proprietor of the Ocean ic Hotel, gave a watermelon feast cn b:icH Island across the sound in honoi of the editors, to which they were tak en in gasolene launches.

The .Govenor answering said that the South is the place for the Negro and that in-North Carolina we are doing all we can to foster and promote the kind- liest relations between the races. In every field of industry, in education,! in religion and before the law we are earnestly and honestly seeking to secure the same onvileares and nroter- tion for the black people that is accord- ed the whites. Governor Bickett fur- ther states . that the fanners, the lumbermen and the companies engaged in building public highways in North Carolina can eaisly absord 25,000 negroes who desire to come to this state for the purpose of securing em- ployment at remunerative wages, but he adds that if during their rsidence in Chicago any of these tegroes have become tainted or intoxicated wit1' dreams of social equality or political dominion it would be well for them to remain where thev am. for fn th.

I' v ' ' ' r'v a f t c tr t DESTRUCTIVE FIRE SATURDAY MORNING A destructive fire swept thru the Central Mortor Company in the Sted man building early Saturday morn ing. The automobiles stored in the garage, eighteen in number, were seri ously damaged, probably to the extent of an avarage of $300 on each car. The floor in the back part of the building, where the lire originated, was damag et severly and the rest of the wood woek over the entire building suffered from fire and water. The office of the company, situated in the corner far thest from the fire, escaped. The garage equipment was almost totally destroyed. Fortunately the gasoline tank was not reached. The fire was discovered on the work table in the back part of the building a few miutes after one o'clock in the morning by Ed Sykes at the power house. Clint Hayworth, owner of the garage, had left the garage only a few minutes before the fire was discvered. He had returned late from High Point. having driven home from that city up on returning from Camp Jackson where he had been called as a witness at the trial of Jeremiah Cox and Astor McNeill, two deserters. He had made final inspection of the building for the night and had started home. The fire alarm was sounded only a few minutes later and he ran back up street only to discover that it was his business that was in danger. He endeavored to ex tinguish the flames with fire extin guisher and was succeeding untill the extinguisher he was using gave out and while he reached back after another the heat from the blaze broke the ww dow glass near and the wind rushed thru spreading the flames from a space only about four feet square to all parts of the building; Mr. Hayworth suffered bums on his hands and around his head and neck while attempting to get a Ford auto mobile which was obstructing the pas sageway started. Had he been able to have gotten the car out of the way many of those damaged could have been driven out without injury. The fire department acquitted it self in a most admirable manner. Only a few miutes elasped from the time of the sounding of the alarm until the hose was playing a stream of water Within a short time the flames were under complete control. Few, if any, of the automobiles damaged were insured. There was no insurance on the garage equipment. The building, which was damaged to the extent of a thousand dollars or more, is insured.

The "race riot" feeling (imported from Chicago) like an unwholesome epidemic, has been v trying to make some headway in Ral- . eigh and Borne other places in the state. A lew nights ago the report reached the uptown people that negroes . ' - in tne lourth black ward were out -; "drilling." When newspaper men and the police investigated they were told -that the squads out "drilling" were .' lumbers of some secret negro society K' or "lodge" and the drilling was a part of the exercises called for in their ritual. Saturdav nicht and Sundav tti wnnl was passed amonsr the more tpnoront of both races that something waa to be puiiea on at given hours that the "signal" was to be the firing of 'guna a certain number of times in varinna ' quarters of the city. The result war that some of the more timid people grew unduly nervous and some fam- ilies "locked up the house and went - to bed as soon after dark as possible." - Locally SDeakin? them hna heon nn Justification for the false renorta cir culated by alarmists, other than the '- leeung mat nas Deen aroused among the people after reading newspaper ae- Counts of the riots in Washincrtnn mit Chicago.

None of the governors re plied to the message. Chance to Buy Meat of Government. Beginning Monday August 18th, the U.
