RESOLUTIONS OF THE
PRESS ASSOCIATION
What the Editors Did on
Matters Affecting the
State-- The Greenville
Reflector Says:*
Some people have an idea that
the annual conventions of the edi
tors of the State are merety occas
ions for "shop talk" and having a
govxl time. Some of this comes in
of course, but there is no class -of
people more alive to matters affect
ing the State than the editors, and
that they do things at their con
ventions is shown by some of tbe
resolutions adopted at the rtcent
Wrightsvilte mee»irg. Here are
some matters discu-sed and embod
ied in the resolutions:
"It is the sense of this body that
the movement to erect a suitable
monument to perpetuate tbe tntm
ory of Edgar William Nye, who
lived and labored anddiedin North
Carolina is worthy of our sympathy
and practical help and we would
hereby give the _ monument our
hearty endorsement and approval.
"We desire to go on record as
favoring New Orleans as the most
suitable place for holding the pro
posed Panama Exposition, and we
urge the newspapers of North Caro
lina to exert all their influence in
♦this direction.
"The Stonewall Tackson Train
ing School deserves and, should
have the sympathy and support of
every newspaper in North Carolina
ani we trust that the next legi>la
ture will perdue a more liberal poli
cy toward this Jong needed and
valuable institution. The work
is under admirable management
and we are glad to mention the
heroic sacrifice a newspaper man
Mr. J. P. Coik, of Concord, is
making in its behalf.
" We would urge our brethren of
the press to aid in every possible
way the great work our State
Board of Health is doing /or the
prevention and cure of disease,
This board looks to the newspaper^
of the State for help and we tinst
they may not be disappointed. The
board asks for space in our papers,
to instruct and inform the public
along the lines of sanitation
and the general care and protection
of the public health, and we hopt
that so far as it is possible, the col
"1 umns of our papers will be placed
at the disposal of this agency of
helping the healing.
"We endorse and approve the
suggestion of Mrs. Chajles D. Mc-
Iver, president of the Womans
Betterment Association, that a week
be set apart for the discussion of
the objects and put pose of the
association in the columns of every
paper connected with this Associa
tion, and we would urge upon the
importance of magnifying this great
work in every way poss ble, and of
supporting and enco,urging these
good women in this labor of love."
"That it is 'the sense of thismeet
ing that the bts>t use that can be
made of the State convicts is in the
construction of public roads, and
the counties desiring same should
have the firr-t right to use them for
the purpose; provided they pay the-
State a stipulated" amount per day
for each convict, the State to bear
all expense of maintance, c&re and
guarding of the convicts, counties
that do not maintain chain gang"
shall have preferance in leasing
X. I
prisoners. J
"It is further resolved that it is
the sense of this meeting that the
State should give to the counties
composing the State assistance in
the actual construction of their
roads, and should appropriate out
of the genoral treasury for this pur
pose at least $250,000 annually,
the said amount to be apportioned
amongst the countfes; provided tbe
THE ENTERPRISE
'said counties raise twice ilie amount
allotted by the State; and provided
further, that such moneys as are
apportioned by the State to the
counties, and that raised by the
county meet the State allotment
shall be spent in the construction
of public roads, whose location and
plans and specifications for con
struction are approved by the State
highway engineer.

A. C. L. Improvements
The At'antic Coast Line in con
structing about four miles of double
track line frcm Weldon to Garvs
burg, N. C., by elevating the track
through the Town of Weldon com
mencing about one mile south of
the present station. A large pro
portion of it will beoll a continuous
steel viaduct 3,700 feet long, hav
ing concrete abutments, piers and
pedestals. This structure will be
90 feet above the ordinary level ot
the Roanoke River,and theie will be
required in its construction about
15,000 cubic vards of concrete and
two thousand tons of steel.
There will be an elevated pas
senger station platform, connected
by a covered stairway with a pas
senger station to be built on the
surface level of the Seaboard Air
Line track. Baggage and express
will be conveyed to the Atlantic
Coast Line level by eltvators. By
means of this viaduct all grade
crossings in the town of Weldom
will be avoided. The work in
volves an entirely new line, but this
will in no wise effect the operation
of trains.

Mrs Henry Schwenk writes: "I
had eczema on my face for over
four years. We tried about a half
dozen doctors, but never found any
cure. I have been taking HoHis
ter's Rocky Mountain Tea for
about three months and it has done
me more good than all the doctors
medicine.''
