P ?i " -!-t,-i THE PRESS CONVENTION. A Vary Delightful Session Held at The Tarrymore Kcte), Wrigtitsville Beach. The following notes on the meet ing of the North Carolina Press Association were written especially -v, r 1 t . , Moore, City Edi tor of the Wilming ton Dispatch, and we reproduce them because he covers the ground thoroughly. Mr. Moore says: "The 33th annual convention of the North Carolina Press Association in session here this week is now a thing of the past, yet it remains in the memories of the scores of editor ial writters in the State as a period of unusual enjoyment and profit. Naturally the papers outside of Wilmington were not able to carry as complete reports of the conven tion as they would desire on account of the limited amount ?f time in which correspondents were prepared to Send off stuff to ihc nanors ro lu seuu on siun to me papers re presented by them. "It is pratically certain that the p?ople of the State are more inter ested in the work of the editors probably than that of any other body of men. The editors come in daily contact, through their columns, with the people of every section of North Carolina. There is a close personal relationship existing be tween an editor and his corps of readers that is not duplicated in any oilier phase of business or profes sional contact. Therefore, it is more than certain that the readers of your paper will not be uninterested in knowing in detail what happened during the convention just conclud ed and exactly what the editors did to have a pleasant and profitable time. "First and foremost the conven tion was held at Wrightsville Beach. This is the most popular and widely known resort on the South Atlantic coast; The fame of the beach has been heralded throughout the South, and the people of Wilmington hailed with real delight the opportunity to bring the neighboring resorts before the personal observation of the editors of the State press. In this manner it was felt that the many attractions of the beach could be placed before the people of the State, through the editors, in a bet ter and more convenment way than in any other form of expression. When it was decided last summer to hold the 38th annual convention of the Press Association at Wrightsville, both beach and city residents com menced to look forward to the occa sion with just as much zest and en joyment as those who expected to at tend the convention. PLANS FOR CONVENTION "Preparations for entertainment of the editors have gone forward en ergetically unremittently for the past few weeks. There were a number of local committees which had in charge the arrangements for entertaining, and taking care of the busisness fea tures of the convention. These com mitteemen, three were on there met tle and throughout the results of their fine woik was evidenced in the thoroughly pleased manner in which the visitors received the various forms of amusement planned for their benefit and enjoyment. The local comittecs ou' lined rome time ago the different p:ans. These plans were enlarged from time to time until it finally came to the point where desired foims of entertain ment had to be abandoned simply because the time at the disposal of committees was limited to the three days' session of the convention. Had it been possible, the committee would have kept the editors here indefinitley. Wimington felt honor ed in entertaining the writers of the State and would willingly have ex tended the duration of the visit here just as long as the editors felt like staying. The fact that the visitors departed so soon, was not the fault of the local press representatives, both writers and others. They felt that they were entertaining their brothers and that anything here was none too good for the visitors. THE TARRYMORE HOTEL. "The headquartes for the conven- fn tlio fwt of consumption, concentrated,easilydigested nourishment is necessary. - For 35 years Scott's Emulsion has been the standard, world-wide treatment for mptinn. AIlDrug.Uu i ticn was at the Tarrvmnro TTntol rm Wrightsville Beach. While ahe Tarrymore is now owned by a cor poration, the hostelry is still con trolled by W. J. Moure, the former proprietor. Mr. Moore in the past was a citizen of Charlotte. He is possessed of a genuine spirit of hospitality which renders a visit to his hotel always a period of full en joyment. He was in thorough accord with the plan to make the visitors have just as good time as they possibly could and aided the committee materialy in carrying forward t he differant plans arranged for the entertainment of the editors While in the hotal the atran-ers were treated royally. Every one j connected with the Tarrymore from controlling stock owner to the mrst insignificant employee, felt that a personal duty developed upon him to make the visitors know that they wf re at homr. ARRIVAL OF DELEGATES. "Alert and attentive committee men met the visitors when they ar rived at the union depot. These saw that the visitors were placed on the electric train bound for Wrightsville Beach, checked the baggage of the delegates, and rendered other miner attentions which attested the real pleasure it gave the Wilmington press and citizens generally to have in them. Not only where there men, for the midst such a splendid coterie of men, fair sex represented i by the wives and daughters of the editors filled the only remainig nice feature which had seemed uncom plet before. There were numbers of charming ladies. Young ladies and younger ladies. The scribe has neither the spirit nor the desire to say that there were old ladies in at tendance. "It is rumored that there were numbers of the editors who sported as single boys on the beach and who were really afraid at every moment that an expose might reveal the fact that they were masquerad ing under colors, which if not arise were at least ou :stionable SPLENDID TALKS DELIVERED. "The talks delivered during the convention were all of high order of merit. There were short talks and long talks, but each and every one reflected the great care and thought I tions of the papers. The different speakers were received with enthus iasm and every one received well merited applause at the conclusion of his address. WELCOME EXTENDED. "A Welcome was extended the visitors on behalf of the city by Alderman Fred W. Bonitz, of this city. Alderman Bonitz is one of Wimingtons spendid representatives of the younger democracy. "The addres of velcome on behalf of the city originally was scheduled to be delivered by Mayor Walter G. Macllae. At the last moment, the Mayor found it neccessary to leave the city on business therefore dele gated his pleasant duty to Alder man Bonitz. "A wclcom on behalf of beach resi dents was also extended by Mayor Thos. H. Wright, of Wrightsville Beach. "The President's address was of most interesting nature indeed. It covered in full detail the work of the Press Association during the past year and was very optimistic as to the outlook for the year to come. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. "Thursday was the second day busines session, The meetings were attended by large numbers of the members and deep interest was manifested. The principal feature of Thursday's sessions was the annu al election of officers. This was held in the morning and resulted as fol lows: President M. L. Shipman, Hen dersonville Hustler, First Vice President J. J. Farriss, High Point Enterprise. Second Vice President T. G.Cobb Morganton Herald. Secretary and Treasurer J. B. Sherrill, Concord Times. Historian D. J.Whichard, Green ville Reflector. Orator James H. Cowan, Wil- mingtom Evening Dispatch. Alternate Orator J. P. Cook, Concord Up Lift. Poet W. I. Hill, "Our Fatherless Ones" Byrum Springs. Executive Committee H. A. Lon don, Pittsboro Record; R. M. Phillips, Greensboro Daidy News; R. W. Vincent, Charlotte Observer. BANQUET THURSDAY AFTERNOON. "Thursday's festivities came to a royal conclusion with a splendid ban- quet held that evening in the ban quet hall of the Tarrymore hotel. Covers were laid for about 150 guests and nearly every seat was taken. The banquet, was presided over as toast masterly Mr. Charles N Evans, President of the Southern National Bank of Wilmington, a for mer citizen of Charlotte. He served splendidly in the capacity of toast master and -was particularly pleas ant in his introduction of the differ ent speakers. FRIDAY LADIES' DAY. "Friday was ladies' day and it was om of the most delightful of the convention. The Press Association was tendered a complimentary trip on the Cape Fear river by Captain John W. Harper., owner and master of the handsome steamer Wilming ton. An elegant luncheon was ser ved on the boat and the outing prov ed to be thoroughly enjoyable. Fri day afternoon the editors were en tertained at the baseball game be tween Wilmington and Wilson. SOUVENIR DANCE AT LUMINA PARK. "Friday night a magnificient sou venir dance was tendered atLumina Park by the Tidewater Company, complimentary to the visitors. This splendid pavilion which holds 5,000 people, and more, was crowded to its capacity. The decorations illus trated the idea of a Japenese dance and they were exceedingly tasteful and effective. "Music was furbished by the famous Lumina orchestra. Hand some favors were presented to the ladies as mementoes of the delight ful occasion. WELCOME WILL CONTINUE. "Wilmington latch string will al ways be on the outside of the door for the members of the North Caro lina Press Association and the Good Roads Association. The city has felt honored in having as its guests these representative men of the Old North State. Wilmington has part ed with them with vivid and poign nant regreat. This civ wiil alwavs anticipate rod receive with pleasure, visits from every member of the two associations which have been here this week. Swearing and Swearing at Tax Listing Time. I wonder how a man feels after he is dead and gone and they run up his estate and find that he was worth four or five times as much as he had been paying taxes on," said one man to another. "I don't know," was the slow re sponse. "I reckon he feels like he might have been a little bit mistaken about it." "Why is it," continued the first, "that people generally look with such horror on swearing a lie in the court house, and yet cheerfully ewear a whopping big lie before the tax lister? Isn't swearing a lie, a lie, perjury here, perjury?" "I guess it's because everybody most, does it. In one sense of the word it's all lying, and still there's er a difference." Lexington Dis patch. Colorado Editor's Tribute to Gsn. Lee, We look upon Robert E.Lee as one among if not the greatest of Amer' can Generals, and an ideal character in each nd every walk of life. The last photo he had taken on h;s old war horse Traveller occupies a place in our parlor and when we cross over others will care for it. And to avoid being classed as one who battled for the storm craddle nation that fell, we shall say that we began under Sherman at Shiloh and quit under Sherman when the end came en countered all that Sherman said war was and then some. Was Chief of Scouts of Fifteenth and Seventeenth army, corps wounded by ball and bladed six times, and inmate of poth Andersonville and Florence prisons enjoy a Medal of Honor from the Federal congress, they are few, and when discharged after a service of near four years was yet under 19 years of age. This is a soldier's en dorsement of Robert E. Lee and may in a measure tend to convince Sen ator Heyburn of Idaho, the sized a;s he has made of himself.

By the food they choose that is, by the color of the food ye shall know them . That's the latest theory brought forward by a learned phy sician, Dr. J. S. Goodale prominetly connected with a certain medical school of the Middle West. Sound odd, doesn't it? Not only odd but about as senseless as the majority of fads over which many a master mind puzzels itself days. Dr. Goodale claims that when you enter a rest aurant and select a chocolate-colored food you unconsciously show your self a man of taste and refinement; but if, on the contrary, you show a partiality for yellow-colored foods, your taste is most probably low and vuglar. The doctor in explaining his strang theory, says that he first made ex periments with animals. "A cat, for instance," he says, "is very much influenced by tbe color of its food. In one experiment I placed a li timber of pieces of meat, each tinted a dif ferent color, before a cat. The animal looked at each piece care fully, and then selected the red-colored meat. Doe's, on the other hand, do not appear to use their visual sense like cats. If the food smells all right a dog will eat anything. "Human beings are very sensitive as to color of their food. By mak ing inquiries among caterers I found that chocolate-colored foods were easily the most popular among edu cated classes. The poorer classes have a liking for yellow. One of the reasons of this may be that they think such foods are richer than others:" Pink is by far the most popular color with children. If a child is offered the choice of a pink and a yellow sweet, the pink variety will invariably be selected. Curiously enough, however, foods artistica'ly Colored green appear to be avoided by all. Dr: G. Norman Meachcn, a well known dietetic specialist of Ohltuc, upholds the view that diners-out are largely influenced in their appetites by the color of the foods which are brought before them. "Certain colors," he says," stim ulate the apetite and digestion while others have the reverse effects White foods, such as white fish, are stimulants to toe appetite. "Personally, my appetite has often been stimulated by certain colors. I have entered a resturant with very feeble appetite and ordered a steak. The steak has conle up a cr ispy red dish, chocolate-brown in color. I look at it, and immediately begin to feel hungry. Brown baked pota toes have also this effect on me. "It is mv theory that brown and blue frunishlngs in a rootr) are not conducive to a healthy appetite, and to sit down to a dinner in a green papered room always destroys one's desire for food at all." Pert Porajjraplis. The snows of many winters will be gin to show upon your head when you find reason in all things. One reason for believing in an af ter life is found in the reflection that some pejple absolutely fail to justify their having been born in this. When money makes a spoil good breeding has an engagement else where. Old dame Trouble is always lying in wait for those who have a sneaking eye pealed out in the direction of folly. The man who sows his wild oats often leaves a grass widow to reap an aftermath. Money talks, but as a general pro position any woman can beat it to it. At present we marry on probation and divorce in Reno If love doesn't change it is the only thing on this gay old earth that holds its own, so the preponderance of testimony may be said to be strongly against it. Some men regard it as little short of a personal insult to expect them to earn the money they recieve. Whatever else a man may do, he seldom keeps his good points in a safety deposit box. A Drcadiul Wound from a knife, gun, tin can, rusty nail, fireworks, or of any other na ture, demands prompt treatment with Bucklen's Arnica Salve to pre vent blood poison or gangrene. It's the quickest, surest healer for all such wounds as also for Burns, Boils, Sores, Skin Eruptions, Eczema Chap ped Hands, Corns or Piles. 25c. at E. T. Whitehead Co. Woman's Power Over Man 'Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to Awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When She loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weak ness and derangement of her special womanly or ganism soon loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses ' her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiabilitv nd her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Tierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many thousands of wooien. lie has devised a successful remedy for woman's ail ments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific for the weaknesses and disorders pcculicr to women. It purifies, regu lates, strengthens and heals.

Pttree-n Pleasant Pellet regulate mad BUZZARDS' NESTS. The Same Ones Are Rarely Used Two Consecutive seasons. The flight of the buzzard is as well nigh perfection as is possible to find. In fact he might be called the most perfect aeroplane in existence. To see him soaring between the bare hills, with a va3t green fertile valley below him and with the spring sun lighting up his brow plumage as he slowly sails around with out pinions, is a sight never to be forgootten. The buzzard usually choose a ledge on a cliff for an evrie, but in certain parts of Wales there are a few well used nests in trees, and as they are generally used by some bird of prey each season they grow to an enor mus size. The buzzard does not as a rule, use the same nest two consecu tive seasons, but returns to it the third, and after that allows another season to elapse before occupying it again. Two netits ate often constructed in one dingle, and an amusing inci dent happened a few years ago in one of these places. The hen laid one egg in each nest, and, as it was quite imposiable for her to sit on both at once, we did her a good turn by placing one of these eggs in the nest with is companion. The result of our kindness was that a collector passed by about two hours after wards and put both eggs in his col lecting box. When I thought the matter over 1 came to the conclusion that that old buzzard was not half such a fool as we took her to be, and if we had left the eggs as we" fouPd them the bird might have had a chance of rearing one youngster. -Country Life. Must Teacn Agriculture. The Farmers' Union is demanding that the law requiring that cettain fundamental principles of agricul ture be taught in the public schools of North Carolina shall be complied with. On Thursday at a meeting, in Raleigh, between representatives of the Farmrrs Union and the Board of Education plans were outlined by which it, is hoped the desired result may be obtained. These plans will ba submitted to the State Convention which meets in Raleigh, July 26. In Robeson County the farmers and those interested in the advance ment of the agricultural interest are demanding that teachers who are competent to teach agriculture be employed. The summer school of the Agricultural College is meeting this need in fine shape. Southern Pines Tourist. Don't think that piles can't be cured.
