Pencil Pushers Royally Entertained
The Word Welcome Greeted the
Editors on Every Hand.
We were one of the knicrhts of (be
pen of grand old North Carolina that
represented the State Association,
along with the polished II. A, Lon
don, of the Chatham Record, the
popular J. B. Shernll, of the Con
cord Times, Rev. W. L. GrUsom, tho
great leyer behind the Christian Ad
vocate, and the warm-hearted and
pleasant R. A. Dca of the Wilkes
boro Chronicle. We were a baud of
brothers and native to the soil, and
wore with pride the badge of North
Carolina among the great body of
men representing as they did 43
States and 12 Territories. In most
cases the editors were accomptiied
by their wives, and as to our delega
tion, Mrs. Shernll and Mrs. Grissom
had charge of their old men, whiie
Miss Lucy, the accomplished and
graceful daughter of Mr. Londou.
claimed his attention. Col. Doai
was alone but hopes before leap yea;
shall fade away his sweet dreams ot
wedded bliss will b realized as he
is on the carpet full-fledged and mis
ceptible to the charms of lovely wo
men. Our route to Florida was over the
splendidly equipped Southern R lil
way and its connection, the Florida
Central and Peninsula Railroad, by
way of Charlotte, Columbia and Sa
vannah. The Southern Florida Lim
ited is one of the handsomest am.'
most comfortable trains that ever
slipped over the rails, making quick
time with but few stops. Oar first
stoppintr place was at Jacksonville,
the great Metropolis of Florida,
where we found a bustling city on
the beautiful St. John river of J0,00t)
inhabitants, with all modern im
provements as to electric cars, well
paved streets, magnificent hotels,
homelike and quiet, large wholesale
houses and a busy population. This
is a great winter resort and thous
ands of people from the North spend
the cold season in this lovely city.
We ventured into the big building
of the Times-Uniou, the le;-tding pa
per of Florid i. and soon f ound our
self in the editorial room and to our
great surprise felt the warm grasp
of a genuine Tar Heel who prov d
to be Mr. H. G. Myrover, of Fayctte
ville, N. C. He is on the editorial
staff of the paper, and a polished,
fluent writer, and is doing well in
the Land of F iowers, Southern iu
warmth and Northern in yigor.
The Times-Uuion in extending a
welcome to the representatives of
the craft of this country says:
The Nationa' Press Association will meet
in bt, Augustine this week, and the mem
bers are the representative men of the dif
ferent sections fromVhich they hail. Prob
ably no other organization in Uie country
embraces a membership as wideawake and
as capable ot impartial j udgnifciit as these
knights of the p-n. They are men, a'niust
without exception, who keep fully posted on
current affairs, and who have given the best
work of their lives fur the ,ooi ot the pub
lic, most often, ala! to a.ly utiappreeiaU d.
A great majority of these dt legates are
editors of weekly papers pub. ished in every
section of the country. While the great
dailies wield a power that is a'rnost inco r
prehnsible, the vast number of weeklies
in the couutry have an aggregate power
that is almost even greater, and as a gen
eral rule their editors are men of bih
moral character and unimpeachable Integ
rity. These scribes are with us now, and their
impressions of Florida arid her people wid
be spread broadcast over the e:Uire co'.ti
nent during the few weeks foi; .wing their
visit. Ltt us entertain them royal y, and
show to them, in every possible way, the
natural advantages of the State. Wherever
they go they should be received as honored
guests, and the best we have shouid be
served to them without stint.
To these editors, these members of the
press to whom the country o vesthe perpet
uation of its institutions of highest civiliza
tion, the intelligence of its citizens, and die
upouiiding of iis commerce and interna
tional trade, the Time-Union, on behalf of
trie state o; t lorida, extenas a greeting,
cordial and sincere. a'
From Jacksonville we went to the
quaint old city of St. Augustine,
with grand and imposing hoteis, sur
rounded by grounds full of tropical
plants. On the arrival of the edi
tors they found the town in gala at
tire; flags were flying everywhere,
and everything presented a holiday
appearance, even to the people, who
were in their Sunday dresses. Busi
ness was almost entirely suspended
to see that the keys of the city were
presented to the visitors, and that
they should have a kind remem
brance of the hospitality that can be
afforded by the Ancient City.
The editors were driven to the va
rious hotels, where they were assign
ed rooms for their stay. After din
ner, they scattered through all of the
quaint old streets, and meandered
Eastward, Westward, Southward
and Noithward, taking in the sea
wall, the old fort, the Ponce de Leon,
barracks and other pointsof interest.
We were pleased beyond measure
with what we saw, and agreed tn;.t
an ideal spot had been chosen for
the convention. Many remarked
that of all the cities in the United
States, old St. Augustine was "the
prettiest, and that of all the people
in the United States those of St.
Augustine were the most hospitable.
At night the editors and the Flori
da Press Association were informal
ly received in the West parlor of the
elegant and gorgeous Ponce de
Leon, where two hours were spent
in inspecting the errand Hotel. ''The
Ponce de Leon, the finest hotel in
the world, is a picture of transcend
ent beauty. The entrance grounds
to the hotel are filled with sparkling
fountains, tropical verdure and
blooming plants. The Ponce de
Leon is one of the famous group of
Spanish Moresque palaces, the
other two being the Alcazar and the
Cordova, all owned by Mr. Flagler."
On the morning of January 22ud,
pome 400 hundred editors, many ot
them accompauied by their wives,
assembled in the parlors of the Car-
dova Hotel, and Mr. A. O. Bonwell,
of Danville, N. Y., the accomplished
President, called the eleventh an
nual convention of the National
Editorial-association to order and
called upon the Rev. Dr. S. Hamil
ton Day, of Grace M. E. church, St.
Augustine, to invoke the divine
blessing upon the editors and their
companions and friends.
Mayor Henry Gaillard then wel
comed the National Editorial associ
ation and Florida Press association,
and introduced the Rev. J. N.
MacGonigle, pastor of the Presby
terian Memorial church, St. Augus
tine, who arose and said:
He esteemed it a double welcome that
wa conferred upon him; that lie stood as a
representative of the may.-r of the city and
a so of the citizens of St. Augustine, and on
their behalf he extended to the National
Editorial association the heartiest welcome
that it was possible for the citizens to give.
'We welco-ue you," said he, to the oldest
city in North America. Fifty-five years
before the Pilgrim Fathers landed upon
Plymouth Rock St. Augustine was settled
Forty years, indeed, before the Dutch had
made their home on Manhattan island there
was a town here.
"Thiity-five years before Santa Fe, our
onlv rival in time, there was a city here by
the sea. Tlie g. ntlman then named the
various settlers and conquerors who had
made the h story of city, showing how far
back the record ivent, and then added, that
it is com monly believed that this is the
original site f the Garden of Eden. We
have also said became to the conclusion
that it was here that the original bieach of
the Monrce Doctrine occurred. Naturally
we pride ourselves upon our age, and you,
the National Edi'orial association, consti
tute the last of a long line of distinguished
visitors, whom we now bid welcome."
lie then named the different nationnali
ries and the years of their occupation of the
territory here, and remarked that one
power h.id had possession which was
enough to stop a dynamo or paralyze a
Wes trn editor. The reyerend gentleman
Mien decribed the physical peculiarities of
the city, ten arking that the power of mod
ern enterprise guided by cultivated art had
raised a temple ot beauty lrom the crude
materials so abundant about us.
Uefore the ad ress was concluded, the
speaker made a graceful reference to the
City Gates, at which point M-s. A. M.
Marcott. handed htm a lovely liorial key,
twenty inches long, made of white carna
nuns, metor roses and maiden hair fern,
prepared by the executive committee of the
citizens of the city.
Mr. MacGonigle said, addressing Pres
ident Bunnell, that, with this key, the
president was to shut the gales and not
allow any'one to go out until he was satis
tied of the warm welcome of the hearts of
tne citizens of St. Augustine.
Piesideut Bunnell, recuvng ;t, said:
"The gates are locked," and that "We are
prisoners in your hands, not desiring to be
released.
Secretary Page received the
badges for the delegates of the as
sociation, in separate envelopes,
each containing also a souvenir
stickpin for the ladies accompanying
the delegates, from Mrs. Anna M.
Marcotte. Those for the delegates
are a full size silver pen having em
bossed thereon ''1S95, N. E. A.,
1S9G," and a silver pendant, with
"St. Augustine, FJa., 1896,'' on the
rim, and the city gates in relief in
center, backed by yellow ribbon.
The ladies' badge is the pendant on
a stickpin. They were sterling silyei
and lasting tokens of the eleventh
annual meeting of the National Edi
torial association.
As soon as the distribution of
badges was completed President
Bunnell delivered his address which
was replete with good and whole
some suggestions for the members of
the association. In closing he quot
ed from Emerson, said: The chief
want in life, is somebody who shall
make us do best we can. As a closing
thought I ask : Why not personify
this great Association, changing it
into the 44 Somebody" who shall
make us as editors and publish
ers, do the best we can for our
selves and our subscribers, for com
munity and county, foi country and
the world, for humanity and God.
Then whether individual skies are
raiubowed in prosperity or grown
gray with tears of adversity, this
Association will not have been
created in vain.
The different sessions of the con
vention were of an interesting and
instructive character as many able
pointed papers were read on every
branch of the business, editorial,
mechanical, how to run and manage
a newspaper, etc.
The best effect of such a Conven
tion as this is that the contact ot one
with another, the interchange ot
ideas raises the standard of journal
ism among them. Ihey come to feel
that their interest are one; and that
if one member "suffer in reputation
all his brethren suffer with him and
share his digrace. It is a great thing
to have them feel that the interest of
one is the interest of. It will lead
them to recognize the fact, as in
WOMEN are not the
only ones who are
sensitive about their
ages. A man doesn't
like to be told that
he is getting ld. A
man doesn't like to
get old at all. But
worse than getting
old, is the appear
ance of age. Health

Good digestion and rich, red blood make
people look youthful. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery makes rich, red blood.
It makes health in the right way. It works
according to the right theory, and in 30
year of practice, it has proved that the
theory is absolutely correct. It begins at
the beginning begins by putting the stom
ach, liver and bowels into flfcrfect order, but
it begins its good work on the blood before
it finishes with the digestive system. It
searches out disease germs wherever they
may be and forces them out of the body.
It promotes the copious secretion of the
digestive fluids, and assists in throwing off
refuse matter. It makes the appetite good
and the digestion strong. It isn't a violent
medicine. It isn't strong medicine. It
does nothing but good to every portion of
the body. It doesn't do harm in one place
while it is helping another place. It is
meant to help the whole body and it does
help it. vv henever a man leels himself failing-
in health, when he feels that he is Bret-
ting old too fast, that his vitality is low, and
that he is losing nesn, ne snoula waste no
time in getting the "Golden Medical Dis
covery." It will build up quicker than
an3'thing else in the world. It will give him
rich blood and solid flesh. It will make
him feel half as old and twice as strong.

other professions, men who have the
same calling must of necessity have
interests in common, and that what
ever of ability be enlisted in journal
ism tends to raise the character and
influence of the whole profession.
Consider the position of the editors
and their power for good or evil. Ten
thousand papers, counting big and
Utile the great city papers and the
small weeklies in the country may
perhaps not nave on an average
more than a thousand subscribers
each, but eyen that would make a
total of ten millions ! and as with
every subscriber who has a family
there are probably two or three rea
ders besides himself, the grand total
swells to thirty or forty, or possibly
fifty millions of readers, so that the
newspapers have almost the whole
population of the country for their
constituency ! '
Mr. H. M. Field, in the New York
Evangelist, in writing about the Na
tional Convention says: "Observa
tion of this convention of journalists
has given me a higher opinion of the
profession, and of the men who com
pose its rank and file throughout the
countrv. Minerling with the crowd
fiom day to day I never heard a pro
fane word, or a course jest, or any
thing unworthy of gentlemen. Could
as much be said of the men who com
pose political conventions? And
so when I hear flippant sneers at edi
tors, as if they were men of light in
tellectual calibre or of low moral
principles, I deny it and resent the
imputation. Of course, as in all pro
fessions, there are rivalries that lead
editors to speak harshly of one anoth
er. But even in this are they more
culpable than lawyers at the bar ? I
speak from an experience of oyer 40
years, in which I have known a whole
generation of editors from the time
of Horace Greeley, and I can say
truly that they have been as hard
worked and as high principled as the
men who adorn any profession. Such
a history in the past is the best prom
ise for the future. If it is to fill its
place of power it should not be dis
paraged. Rather should it be raised
in public ecteem, so that the new
generation of editors that is coming
on the stage, may be inspired with
new ideals and new ambitions. If
such be the Press of the centur3'that
is soon to open it will be a power for
good second to no other in the mak
ing of our country."
On Thursday evening, January
23rd, a complimentary ball was ten
dered the association by the St.
Augustine Light Infantry at the
Casino, in the Alcazar Hotel, where
the flowers of the Ancient City
showed in their resplendant beauty
and grace. The music was grand
and enjoyment supreme to those
who participated.
The oyster roast tendered by the
adies on the beach, some 5 miles
from the city, was greatly enjoyed
oy the ladies and gentlemen or the
Press gang, and the visit to the large
lght House was another link in the
chain of pleasure. The reception
and tea also by the ladies of St.
Augustine was a delightful affair.
It was giyen in old Fort Marian
the scene of so much misery and
romance in years gone by and will
ong be remembered by those pres
ent. Seldom, if ever, were so many
gathered within the battle-scared
and aged worn walls. Tne tables
were bountifully burdened with
choice viands which were charmingly
served by the ladies.
The gardens in St. Augustine were
growing and blooming as they do
with us, in May and June, and the
tables at the hotels were well sup
plied with different Aegetables, fresh
rom the gardens. During our stay
the weather was so pleasant and
balmy that we did not need an over
coat or a fire, and hence the old town
is a grand winter resort, along with
scores of other places in Florida.
There are many places ot interest
in the quaint and ancient city.
Among them are following:
The sea wall, constructed by the
United States government in 1835,
at a cost of $100,000. This is three
fourths of a mile long, ten feet high
and two feet thick; the St. Francis
Barracks, which was formerly a
monastery, the home of the Francis
can monks: the old Fort Marion,
which covers about four acres, is
built of shell rock, with walls nine
feet thick at the base aud four and a
half at the top, and twenty-one feet
high from the center court or ground
floor, the old city gates, still stand
ing at the head of bt. George street;
the cathedral, finished in 1791; the
old slave market in the plaza, where
slaves were sold in the olden times;
the post office building, which was
formerly the Spanish Governor's
residence. The new part of the citv
has nice wide streets and some ot
them nicely paved.
There is one street only seven feet
wide. It is Treasury street, and per
sons standing opposite sides of the
street can sake hands with each
other across it. All the streets of
old St. Augustine are very narrow,
and this, with the overhanging
balconies, give it much the appear
ance of a foreign town. We visited
the oldest houses in the United
States. It was built by the French
Huguenots in 1562, and was occupi
ed by monks until 1580. It was
purchased by Dr. Carver, a dentist,
in 1882, and is now occupied by him
as a residence.
The Monumental Presbyterian
church erected by Mr. H. M. Flagler,
the great developer of East Florida,
and in memory of a deceased daugh
ter, is a beautiful and imposing
structure and built out of coqaina, a
kind of shell rock found on the eas
tern coast of that State. Mr. Flag
ler, besides building the church sup
ports and pays the eloquent pastor.
On Saturday morning thejEditori-
al train composed of 11 sleepers left
St. Augustine over the East Coast
Kailroad, 300 miles long and owned
by Mr. Flagler. Arrived at Ormand
2 p. m., and remained until Sunday
afternoon, taking in the many at
tractions of this winter resort. The
beach at this place is grand and a
bicycle or buggy can roll for 40
miles without hardly making an in
denture in the sand as it is so closely
packed. On our way to Palm Beach
the train stopped a short time at
Daytona, one of the most beautiful
little to wns in the State. The citi
zens turned out en masse, with all
kinds of vehicles and drove us all
around, pointing out the places of
interest. They certainly have a
right to be proud of Daytona as it is
one of the most attractive places we
saw in Florida. The train arrived
at Palm Beach about 9 o'clock after
a rapid run of 200 miles, some 75
of which was along the great Indian
River and the editors were ushered
into another one of Mr. Flagler's
Hotels, the Royal Ponceana, fitted
up in the most luxuriant style with
all the modern improvements. The
hotel has aa electric plant of its
own, and it takes over 5,000 incan
destant lights to light it up at night.
This mamouth house, situated as it
is nearly 300 miles South of St.
Augustine, is entirely different in
the architecture from the celebrated
Ponce de Leon at St. Augustine,
being built in the "Old Colonial"
style, and yet in its own way it is
hardly less beautiful. The site of
this latest er3ction is a strip of land
about half a mile wide, with Lake
Worth on one side and the Atlantic
Ocean on the other, a strip which, as
as it is covered with palms, is fitly
christened "Palm Beach," while
the Hotel itself takes the Princely
name of the Royal Pomciana from
a tree that is one of the products of
this tropical clime, whose red blos
soms give it a color that is like s
flame of fire in the dark aisles of the
forest. As to its proportions, this
huge Caravanserai is 445 feet long
about the length of our great ocean
steamers and six stories high, and
can hold comfortably eight hundred
guests! The dining room has a seat
ing capacity of 900 people so w
were told. Speaking of dining re
minds us of the menu served whic1
was full and complete in every de.
tail. The creation of such a paradise of
comfort and luxury comes not by
accident; but has to be all conceived
in a human brain, and determined
by a human will, before it takes
form and substance, and its founda
tions are planted in the solid earth.
To form such a plan and to carry it
out requres not only boundless re
sources of wealth, but what is still
more rare; the boldness to undertake
such an enterprise in entire uncer
tainty of what the result may be;
and the courage to carry it through,
in spite of all warnings and p. evic
tions of failure. The number of
such men, indeed, there are but few
in a generation; but Florida has had
the good fortune to find one, and his
name is Henry M. Flagler.
Palm Beach is a most delightful
winter resort. Here saw people
wearing straw hats and attired in
summer clothing, and enjoying mid
winter bathing in the surf, as the
water is quite warm, the temper
ate remaining about 76 degrees the
year round. We visited the cocanut,
orange, lime and lemon groves and
pineapple fields. The editors en
joyed a trip to Pitts Island, situated
in Lake worth, 8 miles from Palm
Beach, one of the features of this
justly popular resort. Here we saw
the semi-tropical growth in all its
luxuriance and is an out door mu
seum of Southern curiosities.
On Tuesday, in company with our
esteemed friend, R. A. Deal, of the
Wilkesboro Chronicle, we bid many
of the editors good-bye and turned
our faces towards the dear "Old
North State," and a truer and better
Tar Heel than ever, more in loye
with my profession and mv people.

" Castoria is an excellent medicine for chil
dren. Mothers have repeatedly told me of its
good effeet upon their children."
Dr. G. C. Osgood,
Lowell, Mass.
" Castoria is the best remedy for children of
which I am acquainted. I hope the day is not
far distant when mothers will consider the
real interest of their children, and use Castoria
instead of the various quack nostrums which
are destroying their loved ones, by forcing
opium, morphine, soothing syrup and other
hurtful agents down their throats, thereby
sending them to premature graves."
