Farewell Scenes on the Porches Resolutions af Appreciation Passed By the Editors RESOLUTIONS OF APPRE- CIATION. Waynesville promised to outdo all former efforts to entertain visitors when the newspaper men went to the "Gem City of the Appalachian"; not only did line do thin, but t a new record for . the hospitable ireutment of the strangers and won her way to the hearts of the "knights of the pen." The visitors' money was eounteifel'. by reason of the fact thnt no one would accept It, and the , good people of Waynesville seemed to vie with each other . in providing good omer and en tertainment for their guests. . It was :30 a. m. when the train provided by the Southern nil way, throughheijr ,.POitataklnfi.,di!ftrictJ keep .eifo(U- (wl hlmse'.f. And is agent, James M. Wood, left Ashevllle. The trip was uneventful until Waynes ville was reached, when a committee of the moot prominent citizens wel comed the editors; fiom Waynesville the special proceeded to White Sul phur .Springs, where vehlcleB were in wafting to convey the visitors to that most picturesque of all North Caro lina resorts, EJglc's Nest. Some trots bte Was experienced In securing ve hides for ' the ' conveyance of all the visitors to the top of Junaluska, but, through the efforts of the entertain ment committee, this trouble was soon overcome, and e-ery one who de sired to do so had an opportunity of viewing the glorious scenery to be seen only from the top of Juimluska. Dinner was served 'the newspaper men and their ladles at the White Sulphur Springs horel from 1:30 to 4 p. m., and those "enjoying the unsur passed bill of fate provided are loud In their praises of Mrs. K. J. Ring, under whose management the hotel Is conducted. . While at Eagle's Nes-t the visitor were shown many courtesies by Mr. S. C. Sattertbwalte, proprietor, Includ ing light refreshments and cigars. The Press; association, la Indebted to. the citizens of, WayneBvlile, headed by Col. S. A. Jones, and aided by, Attor ney General Gilmer, Mt. Ferguson. Hon.. ft R. Crawford, CoU Strlngfleld and others, fori the day's entertain merit. Col. Jones eamo to Ashevllle Thursday night and accompanied the. special carrying the party out, and remained with; them until the train pulled out for Ashevllle at p. m., and, (t Is needless to say thai no word of praise Is sufficient to express the ap preciation of the courtesies received at the hmda of these gentlemen and the progressive, little city they reprc- gented. 'rMany pleasant Incidents character lsed the day: the trip to Eagle's Nest strued and svhost Iks- efforts to please are so ftequently un ipprecltited as th railroad man, bound down by rulei and regulations w hich he did hot mak and c.innni safely break. He Is best a part of a gnat system, denle the privilege or the ple.isure of dolni often what he would like and com pelled as often to do that which repulsive to his own best Judgmen and goodness of heart. And so the railroad man who, It engaged in news p.i pet work, would be a model of pa tlenco and gentle forbearance, ofter finds It Impossible to answer ever) question that may be asked by a per spiring public and nt the sam tim railroad men and editors should be bound together by-the -common ties ot suffering and the unselfish efforts work each other for tlie public good. "Before accepting you, however, in to active me.nbeischlp In the North Carotin and Virginia" Press assocla tlons 1 have somewhat to say ta thee Und?r these circumstances are yor still wiling to proceed? I hold in my hand on emblem of friendship, charity btorherly love and fidelity a quurtel of graces which would lose none ol I-.s virtues or sweetness If rmhraced in tht: single bu: slgnflcant" word of brotherly love a love th i t Is kind that thlnketh no evil; that is gentle and considerate; that relievos distres wthout hope of reward, and that car ries a heart of hope and hopefulness and-an outstretched hand to weak sorrowing, heart-breaking mankind In every walk of life. Sir, It is my de- llehtful task to present to you . this memento of considerate thoughjtful- ness of others, not only as a token of our sincere gratitude fr your many acts of personal kindness and untlr Ing efforts to give us pleasure not simply as a compliment to a 'Worthy official- who enhances every gracious courtesy of his company by. the man ner of Its, bestowal 4ut also as mark of our recognition of those qualities In you which alone can give any real slgnll(cance to tnis public expression of our regard, "Take It and wear It, knowing that with the enwspapcr. men of Virginia and North Carolina your faults, in th molto of your fodge. will ever be writ ten In sand and your virtues l-ron the tablets of their love and memory. Mr. Wood feelingly replied as follows: "Gentlenvh of the press: For t wen: y- four years I have been Identified with the Southern railway. I "have handled many great gatherings, but none as given me greater pleasure man me nvioni tinsa fnnventton. .
