It has been the custom of the North Carolina Press Association for some years to bold its annnal meetings at some point in the State where the gatherings could be not only an assembly for bus ' iness and professional purposes - bnt also a pleasurable outing. This year the place chosen was ' Morehead City, and. the wisdom of the choice was attested by all who enjoyed the privilege of be ing present at the convention which opened last Wednesday morning and closed with a de lightful trip to Washington, N. C, on Friday. The program of the convention had been given in advance in our columns and the important transactions and a list of the new officers are given elsewhere in this issue. It is only intended here to speak in a 5 general way of ihe success of the meetings auJ their worth to those who attended. Newspaper nun are probably as closely tied down to their work throughout the entire year as any class of professional men, and, too, they are engaged in a character of work in which it is highly desirable that each should be acquainted with the others as well as possible. No better pre ventative for bitter newspaper controversies could possibly be devised than these annual meet ings in which the members of the State press gather to ex change views and points of view and to enjoy the pleasures of good fellowship. Two of the most excellent features of the program were the addresses ' of Hon.' John H. Small, Representative in Con gress from the first district, and of Prof. J. B. Carlyle, of Wake Forest College. Mr. Small both pleased and convinced his hear ers with his strong presentation of the need and the possibilities of the "Inland Waterway'' from Norfolk to Beaufort. Prof. Car lyle spoke Wednesday night in his inimitable way on the re lation of the Press and the Teacher. Aside from the meetings, there was splendid sport and recrea tion to be bad in the form of sailing, fishing and surf-bathing, all of which Morehead furnishes nnder the most favorable and en joyable conditions. Altogether the occasion was one that will long be remembered with pleas ure by all who attended. declaring toe clause ol tne . new rale law which imposes penalties for Its violation unconstitutional. According to yesterday's dis patcnes. Judge rritcnard gave as one of bis reasons for declar ing the law unconstitutional that the . penalties inflicted by the statue would close the doors to judicial hearing and- would amount to $2,500,000 a day. He also added that if the course of conduct adopted by the State officials and courts were per tnitted to be continued it would defeat the jurisdiction of the United States courts. resident Mniey, o t tne Southern, on Saturday gave out a statement which we print in full elsewhere in our columns defending the action of his company and Governor Glenn has issued a reply claiming that the State is not trying to - inter fere with the orderly course of judicial procedure, is obeying every order issued by the Federal court and is only attempting to sustain the State courts in the enforcement ot the laws of the State. What the next step will be we are not bold enough to predict. The most puzzling question now is what effect will the decision of Judge Pritchard have upon the collection of the fine imposed upon the Southern by Judge Long. If the situation were not one of such gravity in its relation to the rights of the State, it would almost be comical. Shall we have Federal troops guarding the property of the railway com pany ro prevent its being seized by the State authorities to satisfy the fine? No one can tell. (Continued (rota lt pare) Gastonia is not the only town hereabouts that is waiting im patiently for the Postoffice De partment . to inaugurate free mail delivery. An article in to day's issue of The Concord Times states that Concord has not ouly fulfilled the require ments in the matter of post a " a a omce receipts, wmcn last year reached over $13,000, but has also improved her streets numbered all the houses still no free delivery. Here good hint for Gastonia. would be well for us to number all houses and see that side walks are in good condition and then we can consistently make a strong demand upon the De partment for the service. and and is a It WHAT NEXT? The last four days brought about so many rapidly changing situations in the rate litigation between the State 'and the two roads that have elected to fight the enforcement of the new law that it has been difficult to al ways be sure what the exact status of affairs was and impos sible to foretell what the next step would be. As was expect ed, the trial of Southern Ticket Agent T. E. Green, of Raleigh, resultedjn a verdict of guilty both as to the agent and the railway company. In passing sentence Judge Long only im posed a nominal fine of five dollars on Mr. Green on condi tion of his promising not again to be. guilty of selling tickets at a rate higher than two and a auarter cents per mile, but im posed a fine of $30,000 upon the, Southern ' Railway Company. Mr. Gree'n paid his fine and was released and it is safe to say will not sell tickets for the Southern again at the old rate. V The next and latest step' was the action of Judge Pritchard, cf tbe United States District Ccsrt in AsheviHe, in discharg i 'T Azzzts J. IL Wood and C. O. V.'I'-ca cf that place and We are greatly pleased to learn from those who have the hospital matter in charge that only about $925 remains to be subscribed of the $12,000 neces sary to insure the success of the movement. We feel sure that the committee will' have no trouble in placing the remainder of the stock and we confidently expect to see a modern, well equipped hospital building adorning our city belore many months. We are informed by physicians of the city that enough patients go from here to hospitals in other cities to make the Gastonia hospital self-supporting, and there seems no doubt that all who re quire hospital treatment would prefer to receive it at home rather than go to the expense and discomfort of a journey to some other city. Mr. J. K. Henderson, one of the county's best farmers, who resides in the Union neighborhood, was in town mis morning. Me says a good rain fell between Gastonia and Union last night. Crops, especially cotton, he says are looking well in his section of the county and the fanners are encouraged. dentals.

"The Kimball piano is handled here bv our well known music dealers. A. J.

I bey handle the. largest line of ranges and stoves, as well as everything in kitchen furnishings. Long Brothers are the same reoule who put the roof on our new build ing and made and put up that corn ice work too; also those hard-wood mantels that you admired so much and that you thought were so smart and pretty." They have every facil ity at hand as contractors for roofing and as workers of sheet metal in all its branches and as dealers in man tels, tiles and grates. They have not only a local reputation but enjoy a large out-of-town patronage. The young couple bought a "Favorite Range" and all their cooking uten sils from Long Brothers. "There is one more requisite yet, before I'll really consider my home completely furnished," suggested Hettie. "And what is that?" de manded Uncle Bill, who thought he'd already arranged for everything. a sewing macnine a Singer." "Yes. ves: that's a fact, but I'll fix about that very soon. My friend D. R.
