Points Out What Has Been

Asheville, July o.—The annual report
of Arthur G. Newmyer. President, con
cerning the future of newspaperdom in
the South and its accomplishments of the
past was one of the features this morn
ing of the Southern Newspaper Publish
ers Assoe'iation at the opening of the an
nual convention at Grove Park Inn. It
is the 23rd misting of the organization
and when the gavgl of Mr. Newmyer fell
"tor the morning business session there’
was a large representation present from
14 Southern states.
Mr. Newmyer’s report was an effective
discussion of the Association’s work of'the
past and its opportunity for future use
fulness in relation to the general newspa
per field in the South. Besides his re
port the Association also heard reports
from officers and committee chairmen.
Asheville, N. C., July 0. —Pointing out
to Southern newspapers the opportunities
and possibilities for the future and re
viewing the past performances marked
the high spots of President A. G. New
myer's annual report to the members of
the Southern Nwspaper Publishers' As
sociation in session here.
Mr. Newmyer stated he would deviate
from the established custom of solely
reviewing past performances aud denied
it his duty to place before the members
freely anil frankly his impression of the
jiossibilitirs for future Southern newspa
per endeavor, and direi-t tile attention of
the members to certain obstacles, as well
as opportunities. added: ‘‘l am con
vinced the time lias come when only
through plain, open all
phases of our present sirgatriaafion situa
tion can you intelligently instruct your
incdflilng officers as to the course you de
sire your association to pursue in the fu
ture.” '-|rj
The Association itself has an oppor
tunity to double its membership and
thereby increase its scope of service, be
declared. All papers in the growing
Southern section—working in a common
territory and facing kindred customs,
people and problems—naturally have re
lated missions and methods, and each one
needs the 8. N. P. A. for its particular
ability to assemble, study and spread
facts for and from the South. He point
ed out that the territory covered by the
Association represents fourteen Southern
States ranging from Virginia through to
Texas and Oklahoma. In this area are
found 31 million people. 455 English
language newspapers, of which 115 are
morning dailies. 340 afternoon papers
and 107 Sunday morning editions. The
circulation of these papers is approxi
mately four million and "covers” twenty
million of people. .
One hundred and ninety sos these pa
pers are members of tlw S. N. P. A. and
82 of them are likew’de ■ members of the
American Newspaper Publishers Associa
tion. From this, it can be seen, he add
ed "that one-third of the membership sup
port two major newspaper organisations
which in candor makes for certain dup
lication of effffoft and of assessments. He
urged each member to support “first and
foremost” his own newspaper association
and to instruct incoming officers do meet
with n committee of the A. N. P. A.
to arrange a plan or co-ordination
whereby both groups will draw the
strength each undeniably possesses” and
will use it to the “maximum efficiency”
but with logical assessments.
He encouraged all members able to do
so to belong to both associations, saying
the A, N. P. A. acta as a clearing house,
filling a vitally important need. Its etr
tabl’slied nationwide influence is tre
mendous, he added.
Captain Cranston Williams, who be
came manager of the association in the
last year came in for a certain amount of
praise, as did Waiter C. Johnson, treas
urer. Mr. Newmyer told the members
they must ingest more to reap greater re
turns.
The battle against the second rate
postal increase was described as the seri
ous problem confronting the association
this year. He called attention to the
great amount of work done by the asso
ciation last year in helping to keep rates
