Moreheai) City, July 1.8, ILoOp.m.
Tlie Press Convention met this
morning." Comparatively very few
members present. Mr. President
Kldridge and Mr. Secretary Lindsay
were at their posts injdue time. The
principal business so far have been in
relation to the membership. As
has been announced, the rulings of
the executive comui ittee has been
strictly according to the letter of the
law, and no man who does not, edit
or publish a newspaper is entitled
to recognition.! This j cuts off from
among the members many who
have heretofore been editors In sum
mer for passes only.
The mayor of Morenead City, Dr.
Arendall, came out to ; the meeting
of the Convention to-night, and pre
sented the greetings and good wishes
of the town and jvelcomed the
editors. He was thanked and in
vited to a seat in the Convention.
The morning and -afternoon ses
sions to-morrow will be taken up by
reports of committeel and to-mor-
and annual
. .
address will be delivered.
The
selves.
editors are e
njoying them-
They have to-day fished a
little, sailed a little,
surf a little, and they
bathed in the
have eaten a
great deal, for the delicious fish,
outers and clams have been so
tempting, the beef-arid-cabbage-fed
editors would eat.
It is a positive pleasure to see the
children in bathing.
Boys and girls
between the ages of 3
and 15 years,
in cute and snug bathii
suits, splash
and dash, and spit and, sputter in the
briny every day. ; Oh J how they do
enjoy it ! They cough and chatter,
and choke ami strangle and kick and
scream and cry and' hurt their feet
i
or get their noses sunburned, but it's
fun all the same and tiiey take it as
it comes.
To-night an elegant
german is
in
progress. Two of Durham's bright
and handsome beaus, Messrs. Eugene
Thompson and Albert
Kramer, and
-,of Vir-
ginia, gave the gernian complimen
tary to Misses ,
The favors were specially pretty.
The music good. The ladies lovely
and gracious, the gentlemen hand
some and gallant. What more is
needed to make a tip-top german?
''The wild waves thunder on the
shore," but no matter, vouth and
beauty are chasing the glowing hours
with riving feet and are forgetful of
qven the monotonous murmur of the
restless sea. ;
Among the gentleman on the tloor,
besides those mentioned, I notice
Messrs. Charles S. Bryan and W. L.
Parrish.
Mr. George McCehee, of Raleigh,
so well known in Durham, is also
present. One ol the handsomest gen
tlemen oil t he floor, and certainly one
of the most popular, is Mr. Thomas
A. Davis, of Wilson. MoreheadCity
is alive now, and time is passing
rapidly, because it is passing so
pleasantly. I W. G. 15.
DOCKERY DODGES.'
Our readers will remember that
after the efforts of Chairman W hi ta
ker to secure a joint canvass proved
futile, owing to the artful dodges of
Col. Dockery and Chairman .Eaves,
Judge Fowle addressed a letter to
the Col. asking for a meeting in Ral
eigh or anywhere else that the Col.
might select, on Wednesday or
Thursday of this week, for the pur
pose of arranging for the canvass.
we learn irom ine ivtuc.s w uuzercer
this morning that Dockery failed to
put in an appearance and that to all
questions put to his friends and
managers in Raleigh as to whether
there was any news from him, the
reply was, "nothing for the public."
' Dockery, mind . you, had ex
pressed himself as "eager for the
fray," but his action, or more prop
erly speaking, want of action, in
this matter, seems to confirm the
opinion that, this Richard has no
hankering for a contest with our
Richmond.
Commenting upon Dockery's fail
u re to come to time, the Netcs-A)
Observer says :
"Everywhere he had bragged that lie
wanted a joint canvass and could not get one
that Judge Fowle took refuge behind his
executive committee, behind political prece
dent, and so on and was afraid to meet him
in the held. J udge r owle s straightforward,
pointed, timely letter stopped his brag and
made it generally recognized that Col. Dock
ery had to come up to the scratch or confess
the sham and humbuggery , of his professed
desire to meet his distinguished antagonist
. .
"What a spectacle he presents, now that
he has made this point against his adversary
and is so utterly put to rout ! He is shown
in his true light of blatant, blustering dema
gogue only, and all who have not known him
as such heretofore, and' are not blinded by
prejudice, have no excuse for regarding him
in luture as anything else.

Asnevnie nun: Trouna was
broken yesterday for the new graded

of train No. 22 put a tramp off his
train about half an hour before the
collision. He was discovered partly
under the lumber and undoubtedly
owes his life to his being found, as
it was the same lumber that killed
the brakeman.
