In spite of the rain, mud and a general conspiracy of the elements the Annual Call at the Hickory Inn on the 25th inst. was very much en joyed by the large crowd in attend ance.

Sixteen years ago the Press Asso ciation was organized and since that time has been meeting at different places from year to year. Many pleasant acquaintances have been made and a greater brotherly feeling brought about. "Very few are now "driving the quili who at that time represented the Press of the State. Man\| changes have been made since last years meeting at More-head City. This year the convention was held at LENOIR, which is the county seat of Caldwell county, HO miles north of Hickory, and lying on the waters of Lower Creek, a stream flowing ' i into the Catawba river a few miles distant to the east. The ejuiet little town ot Lenoir is beautifully situated for such a meet ings and her citizens opened wide their gates and received right royai ly all of her guests. We were most cleiiglitfnllv situa ted—no one could have been more pleasantly and delightfully enter- ' tained than we were by the finest of ladies, Mrs. C. A. Ciliey. • The convention was held in the Davenport building where mauv ( laughable discussions 4 were partici pated in and much business transact- j The election of officers for the j coming year resulted as follows: W. W. McDairrnid, President; ' , First Vice President, Whiciiard, of j the Greeneville Retiector; Kernodle, • ( of the Alamance Gleaner, second, • * and St. Clair, of theSanford Express, ' j third; Sherrill, of the Concord Times, . Secretary and Treasurer. Dowd, of t the Mecklenburg was re elected historian: Haydn, of the t Charlotte Chronicle, orator; Chris tian, of the Oliarlotte Democratic, 4 poet: Polk, of the Progressive Farm- 1 er, statistician; executive committee: ,! Joe Caldwell, Joe Daniels, Eldridge, j Scott and Thomas; delegates to the v National Association, which meets in Detroit in August. Chris- * 1 tian and Joe Daniels: alternates, 1 Eldridge and Manning. c The association adjourned Friday ( morning and various pleasure ex 1 cursions were started on. Some went Blowing Rock and some * went home. e quote what our esteemed contemporary, the Ashe ville Citizen, says of his trip after ;! the adjournment. d "Leaving Lenoir early Friday hi morning, we reached ! a: HICKORY e: it nine o'clock, with all the forenoon se jefore us to while away the hours tr . mtii the westbound train arrived w Stopping at the Hickory Inn with he rest of the party—for the weath- 1 r enforced the dispersion of the 'onvention—we had reason to ad- ( . nire the very elegant hotel over tr vhich mine host Loughran presides. lickorv now has something worthy obe called a hotel. Architecurally. t is a beautiful building, and would j ttract every eye. even if its admira bly convenient location did not in- Wi ite to its entrance. \\ ithiu, it i:« 1 iegant and well equipped as its ex erior indicates. \\ e might safelv ay that the table responds abun- ,du antly to every want: neatuess, good ■ nv aste. good judgment, and an excel- W" ient cuisine an amount of contentment in the guest not always expei ienced. J. G. Hall kind enough to call for us in his carria.ee to make a visit to the fa mous Piedmont \\ agon Factory. It is now in a state of transfoi mation, a large brick two-story building, not yet finished, being erected to replace the o'd frame buildings. The new stsucture is 200xt;0, and will con tain all the improved modern ma chinery to facilitate aud perfect work. Owing t» tine building oper ations, there is some apparent con fusion in the operations of the es tablishment: and yet there is no stop to them. There is much to amaze in what might be almoet called the intelligence of machinery; and when one sees the work of shap ing our ii regular surfaces, sees al most instantaneous cutting out of felloes, sees the rough stick of split wood turned out in the twinkliu" ot an eye in l o a shapely spoke, sees the block turned into a symmetrical hub, sees the spokes picked up bv machinery and inextricably fixed into tue hubs, sees the radiatin r O spokes wrapped with its girdle of leJoes, and sees the* tire wrap its firery coil around the felloes, and roiled away a finished wheel, and then reea.ls how ail this used to be done by hand with expense time arid labor, he is apt to conclude that in e>;d times mail must have been nothing more than a plodding old fool. i t tiiisi.- the work of man's brain: man s work after till. The output of the Piedmont Wagon Works is about 300 a month, dis pose 1 of largely in Georgia and Alabama. This will be soon in creased to 500. liut we must stop, onh* add ing that the Hickory Tavern, that we liist saw thirty years ago, at the* terminus of the railroad, in the woods, with one solitary house, is now the City of Hickory with its , busy, energetic, intelligent popula tion of 4,000, with its: schools, its churches, its banks, its hotels, its lactones, ils industries, and with its line reputation for all that is attrac tive and pleasant.
