i The 87th Annual Meeting of the North
Carolina Press Association has just
closed its sessions, which were held at
Carolina Beach, the summer resort near
the City of Wilmington, It was with
so bib misgivings on the first night, when
the members and those with them, wive
and sisters, arrived at the Oceanic Hotel
nd Viewed the prospect for "board and
lodgings. ,
The crowd was a large one when It Is
understood that over one hundred guests
had to be added those already at the
Oceanic.';,
There were no spacious apartments,
but after the first night, tbe "press gang"
readily adjusted themselves to the con
ditions, and Mine Host Jenkins willingly
lent all aid and comfort possible, and the
situation became agreeable and all en
joyed their stsy.
.-"
-
A pleasant feature of the meeting was
the good attendance at every session
there was the customary slow start,
which will In future be remedied,, and
the rush at the close, which needs cor
frection. President Dowd, was all that
could be desired as a presiding officer,
and gave character to the meeting by his
promptness in calling the session on time,
preventing the drag which too often
tsjtes place.
Of the many attentions shown It may
seem hard to particularize, but Capt
John W. Harper undoubtedly stands at
the bead. lor nls two steamers were
alwsjs at the service of tbe editors and
those with them, and this without cost,
nit to mention the courteous attention
shown by every employe on the steamers
to the visitors who accepted Capt. Har
per's hospitality.
The Messenger and Star with their
editors and stall assistants were most
generous in attentions, and Mr. Helns
berger representing the Merchants Asso
ciation, the Wilmington Street Railway
Company, and the Wilmington SeacoaBt
Company extended tbe bounds of the
meeting by their generous treatment to
the editors.
In the social line, Wllmlngtopians
fairly carried away those of tbe Associa
I tion, who were on social pleasure bent,
and there were many of tgrWo disposed
Receptions at the Beaflf Snd Ocean
View gave an enjoyable ending to the
meeting, and It was with tired Steps, but
minds full of the pleasures of Wilmlng
ton, that the last guests took their leave.
Business or Social, which is the first
object of tbe Association, has hitherto
been tbe question of many- This ses
slon It was a question with several, was
not the Association stretching its limit,
on that most dangerous subject, politics'
There were many hints and broad ones.
Illustrations and pointed ones, along
political lines, and while the old Associa
tion continued In form and substance,
yet there was an uneasy feeling, and the
fear that politics might enter, and with
Us entrance, the destruction of the N. C.
P;A. 1
r
The question of whether there should
be a Democratic Press Association is one
thing. How shsll It be organized, when
meet and hew closely shsll members of
the N, C. P. A. and the D. P. A. be as
sodated, is a serlousproblem snd not
one of easy solution. With any politics
Introduced, or political Insinuations In
speeches or essays, there Is certain to be
rupture. -
But of the meeting just closed It bad
much to be 'commended. There was
prout ana pleasure, snd these ere most
worthy alms to have realized at every
meeting.
Neit year the Press is to meet at lien
dersonvllle. The following officers were
eleeted to serve during tbe ensulug year.

. Bem4 with a ShariST Writ.
Testerday afternoon the steamer Lii
lie was captured by the Fusionl and
lies at anchor in the Treat river in pos
session of a blrling crew. The seizure
was made with a writ served by Sheriff
Hahn, Issued by Judge Brown, father-in-
law of Senator I'rilcbard, and is the out
come of tbe suits now In tbe courts.
When tbe crafty deputy boarded the
LiUie It was at a time when no- one was
on board. Not a shot was fired, there
was no blood shed, in fact there was
not even an occasion for "cuss ''words".
When theDemocracy learned of the dis
aster Maj S. D. Pope was In proud pos
session of the deck and declined to al
low the Democratic ship-keeper or any
other person on board.
It Is a matter of history how the new
Board of Fish Commission got posses
sion of the oyster steamer shortly after
the adjournment of the Legislature last
spring. Some little force was used on
that occasion and then the matter was
heard before a magistrate in New Bern.
He decided that the Democratic seizure
was illegal and the case went before the
Pamlico Superior court. Judge Bowman
who heard the case, a mountaineer Re
publican, also decided in favor of the
fusionlsls that the seizure was forcible
and contrary to law. The case was ap
pealed and will be beard in September
before Supreme court at Raleigh.
It has been no bonanza for the new
Fish Commission, of which J. M. Clay
ton of Hyde county is chairman. The
administration of Governor Itusaell bas
had the inside on the whole matter.
When the new commission li rat took
hold they sent on some bills that had
been incurred and they were paid, but
when the members sent on their vouch
ers for their first months pay they were
turned down. The suit had been begun
and all salary claims were held over.
Whether the former Chief Shell Com
missioner, Theophilus White of Hertford
has been drawing his pay as usual and
lettiug out little dividends to bis old
deputies Is unknown. Perhaps some one
would like to ask the Governor. He
is fond of taking care of his pets any
way.
The Llilie needs repairs and a good
deal of them. Nn money has beep avail
able and the boat needs to go into dry
dock. Tbe craft cost $6000, and $1500
would not be too much to put her in
good order. However, it might be
cheaper to let the steamer sink in deep
water somewhere, unless it can be ex
plained what ue the State of North
Carolina has for a navy.
Municipal Ownership Pays.
Greensboro is now discussing a propo
sition to issue bonds to buy Its system of
water works. Every city ought to own
Its water supply, and in every Instance
where good management has been se
cured, it has been profitable to the city.
In Charlotte, Mr. C. H. Campbell,
Superintendent, writes to. Mr. G, H
Wright, of Greensboro: ."Water rate
reduced 60 per cent by municipal owner
ship," To the same party, Mr. Geo. P. Green,
ex-mayor and leading citizen of Wilson,
writes:
"Our town charges $3.50 for the Grst
12.000 gallons; after that lOrrper thous
and gallons. The town owns, its water
works, electric light plant and sewerage
system. If you will allow us $35 for our
fire hydrants tbe plant would pay a good
profit. (Most towns In the State pay $50,)
By all means I advise municipal owner
ship si the best In every aspect for your
oltr. Wster for street Sprinkling Is
never questioned. Our plant Is only 7
years old snd In one more year H I pre
dicted our hydrants will cost III nothing.

I Ha
Power to Soothe tho
Mm
With Cracked Shoo.
"Every now and then," said a man
if moderate means, "something hap
pens to remind nie that I am only a
novice In the nrt of life. For Instance,
my shoes were wearing out, and in one
of theiu there was nn ugly crack In tho
top. if there Is one thing more dis
turbing to me than another. It Is the
sight of a shoe on one of my feet with
a hole In the top. But I had not the
money wherewith to buy another pair,
and, though It may seem ridiculous, I
couldn't very well spare the quarter
that It woulj cost for a patch, to say
nothing of the fact that a patched shoe
Is little less unulghtly In my eyes than
one with n hole in It
Wnlking, in this predicament, one
day, I met a friend, whose means, so
far as I knew, were little, If any, great
er than my own. He now had In the
top of one of his trimly blacked shoes
a carefully cut round hole. Since I bad
last seen blm he had apparently pros
pered enough to have got the gout, a
fact on which I veutured to comment
'Why,' he said, 'j'ou cuu get precise
ly the same kind of gout with a pair
of shears.' And then he smiled. He
always was blitbe and gay, no matter
what betlded.
"Well, when I got home I eularged
that hole In the top of my shoe to the
size and respectability of a gout open
ing, and now, when I go down lu the
morning on tbe elevated, I don't hold
that foot with the broken shoe curled
under tbe seat back of tbe other ankle,
as though I had a curious habit that
way, but 1 place It boldly out In front,
and I read the paper with the air of a
man who is going down town with his
surplus Interest money to take a little
flier In slocks." Chicago Inter Ocean.
