Col. Sk nner Jlltenils Meet
ing oi Bar Assaciation
Executive Cemmillee
(From Raleigh News and Observer^
The 1914 annual convention of tho
North Carolina Bar ABaociatlon will
meet at Wrlghtsvllle Beach. This wai3
decided at the meettug of the executivt
commltteo of the associaioin, whicli
was held in Raleigh, and which wai!
attended by a number of the mem- j
bera of the commltteo. Those pres
ent were; A. W. McLiean, chalrniau.
l<umberton; J. Crawford Biggs, Ral
eigh; Harry Skinner, Greenville; A.
I>. Andrews, Jr., Raleigh; Thomas W.
Davis, WUmlnglon; and Thomas S
Rollina (ex-otficlo), Asheville.
Tho oate set for the meeting U'
Juno 29-July 1, which will make three
dayfl in all, the lirat session to be
lii‘kl oil .Monday.
.Nothing has as yet been done to-
witrd tho selection of tlie speakei's.
nor in making out any sort of a pro
gram for tho occasion. All of this
will be left until later. Tlio com-
tnittee having in charge the prepara
tion of the program is considerin '
eoverai speakers and subjects, and it
is supposed that tho principal ad
dress will be delivered by some of
more than statewide reptuation. 'i
has been announced, however, that
there is as yet nothing to bo given
out in regard to the epeakers or the
program.
Ko dccisioQ has teca reached as
to which of tho Wrightsviile hotels
will be made head(iuarter>3 for the
convention, it being considered that
this i.s a matter of minor importance
at this distance from the date for tbo
convention.
The ineeting of the associaiton was
iield last year in Asheville at the Bat
tery Park hotel, and was one of the
most largely attended in tiie history
of tho organization. It la expected
that tho 1914 coivention will be a
record-breaker.
