The North Carolina editors encountered a snow storm today, but the weather conditions, which Were more pictures que than disagreeable, in no way marred the enjoyment and pleasure' of : the first day of their mid-winter meet ing at the national capital. The morn ing was devoted to a highly interest ing meeting of the association. After lunch a trip by boat was taken to his toric Mount Vernon, and the day's program was concluded with a theatre oartv at Chase's tonight. The edito- rial party has had a bully good time and the members are looking forwara to tomorrow's attractive program for their entertainment. The morning trains brought many pew arrivals, and tonight there are more than -ICO editors here, a goodiy yumber of them being accompanied by members of their families.

A handsome blue badge with the words "N. C. Press Association, mid winter meeting 19u3, Washington D. C." Is the insignia of the members. The Star this afternoon published a splendid likeness of the popular presi aent of the association, Hod. H. B. Varner.

Josephus Daniels Hung In Effigy BY R. H. PHILLIPS r Durham, N. C.; Dec. 2. Special. At four o'clock this morning the vig orous ringing of the large belf in the tower at .Trinity College attracted the attention of many people living in the. vicinity of the campus and West Dur ham. It was the signal for rejoicing on the part of enthusiastic students when it was anounced that the board of trustees of the college had declined to ask for the resignation of Dr'John S. Bassett, , " ' ; -' One of the friends of the college who feels a deep interest In its welfare and who has watched the course of events, said this morning that "the conduct of the students throughout this crisis hat been beyond praise and is the best pos sible proof of the good work the col lege " is doing. When it was first ru mored that Dr. Bassett would resign the students called a mass meeting and asked him not to resign and pledged their loyalty to the college at any cost. They have kept their pledge nobly. While there have been occasional stray rumors from a distance that students, w-ere to be withdrawn, no student has left, and so far as 'is known no parent has written here any threat to with draw - his son." When the decision of the board of trustees was announced to the news paper men, members of the faculty and several anxious friends who had wait ed patiently in the president's office ihrou-chout tHe long hourst it was soon . . . , -- ---ziizzz-- Gath atitlne Matioiia! ver Cleyeland man," said J.

Varner at 9 o'clock this morning at the" "National Hotel,' and after a 'prayei by Rev. J. 0- Atkinson of Elon College, N. 'C.V . Commissioner MacFarland of the, District of Columbia was introduc ed to make an address of welcome. Mr. MacFarland was happy in his remarks. He promised to shield any of the visi tors who might get in trouble while here. Mr. MacFarland said: "We count on your interest in every effort for the advancement of the nat- ional capital. We- know that your in- ,' fluence like that of all intelligent citi- zens of the rep'ublic, will be cast in fa vor 6f making it the , most beautirui capital in the world. It is now very beautiful and you will enjoy it as you go about. You will have peculiar pleas ure in visiting the capitol just now be cause a son of North Carolina sits in the speaker's chair. As you look down ! from the gallery you will see in that place of power one of the greatest places in the government of this coun- try a man of whom you can all be proud.

London, editor oi tne ntts-; boro Record, on behalf of the associa- j tion, thanked Mr. MacFarland for his man of the committee appointed to ex cordial greeting and said that the amine the president's address reported members were Very glad to be in Wash- that the committee was ready to make ington. They were familiar with the making of history in , the capital, he said, and they all wanted to come here and see a little of it made. He spoke of the beauties of the capital passed outside and reached the ears ot a large number, of students who haa remained up to hear the result. Al most instantly there was a hearty round of yells in enthusiastic approval. One of the professors remarked, and there was a suggestion of tears in his eyes, "that it is worth living ten years to witness the loyalty of those boys to the college. They have ''chosen their course absolutely without suggestion on - the part of any of the officials or teachers in this college as to wha should be their attitude in the matter." Other boys who had remained in their rooms heard the demonstration and, raising their windows, responded with shouts of approval. One sturdy stu dent shouted in stentorian voice from a dormitory window: "Trinity liberal!" In a short time a bonfire was raised and the ringing of the bell caused peo ple living some distance away to fear the college was on fire. Dnlia Hnn In Ffflgy j When day broke this morning an old suit of clothes, stuffed with straw and labeled "'Josephus Daniels" was found hanging from a' wire surpended over the race course in athletic park. In speaking of this incident in connection with the demonstration . made by the boys a leading citizen said this morn ing that he "was not much surprised and was not prepared to condemn the boys for it. "It must be remembered,.' he said, "that- they are boys yet in many respects and on . that . account cannot ,-be expected to exercise that conservatism" that might be looked for in men of , more mature years. They love the college and have been stung by the unjust criticism and abuse heaped upon it Ly certain individuals so often that this action is scarcely to be wondered at in connection with their loyal demonstration over ' what they believe and what many others believe is a victory 'for the college."

Tretlh Perverte Eiiious How the News and Observer Distorts Facts and Falsifies. The Truth About Its Last Effort at Self-Praise The unfair and disreputable methods employed by the News and Observer in attempting to boost itself into pop ular favor at the expense of The Post are really too well known to require much comment. These attempts, usu ally the contemptible offspring of Jeal ousy and envy, are conceived in tjve "wish which Is father to the thought." The latest effort of the News and Ob server to prove that it is the only peb ble, is very effectively set aside in the following plain statement made by the ! agent of the Union News Company. j who figured in the incident, the facts jof which the News ajid Observer per- verted to satisfy its own envy: Princeton, N.

Being asked by a Raleigh Morning Post representative the facts concern- ing an article published in, the Sunday,, November 29thv i3sue of the Raleigh News and Observer pertaining to an incident that occurred on Southern train No. 136 Saturday, November 28th, 1903, that concerned the sale of the two morning papers, I will 'say that as I was the news agent referred to in that article, that the following Is the incident: - A gentleman asked me for a News and Observer.

The receivers were also instructed to use their Judgment In" accepting as money the Zion City scrip, and while this or der is so general as to have different interpretations, he instructed them to accept the . coupons, and especially those from laborers in the Zion Indus tries, ln order to relieve as much as possible the distress among the peopit whose available' money Is represented almost entirely by this scrip. Attorney Le Vinson, who represents the receivers, said after the order hao been "Issued, that no statement as to how affairs stood would be'-made untir an inventory of the books had been made, which would probably take a week.
