THE PRESS CONVENTION.

The Brownsville people are making
ample preparations to entertain the
members of the Tennessee Press Asso-
citation, which meets there tomorrow.
A banquet is to be given at Lee Hall
to morrow evening. Friday will be de-
voted to business proceedings, and Friday
evening the Grafton will be delivered, q
poem read, etc. Saturday the fraternity
will be invited to an immense Grange
picnic in the vicinity. So it is eslcu-
lated to be a three days affair, and will
doubtless be very enjoyable reunion OF
the editorial fraternity. As to the utility
of these gatherings .that-remains to be
demonstrated. The papers of the State
have thus far failed to agree upon a
policy for the promotion of their mate
rial interests. Were they to make the
issue they could compel the next Legis-
Iature to abolish the old fogy law
which requires printers to work for less
IMAM 0dA prize. ~ thC SOuuby PASS0
this is a matter of much Importance,
The county printing amounts to quite
an item, and papers often publish legal
notices at the rate fixed many years ago
by the State at less than half the regu-
lar price charged other advertisers.
There is no reason in common sense or
justice why the State should fix the
price of printing any more than the
price of blank books, steel pens, ink or
anything else which it might need to
buy or have done. Now, if the gentle
men who meet at Brownsville Thursday
and Friday to enjoy the Inequalities of
that charming little city will take a
stand on this question they may accom-
plish something practical and tangible.
As we conceive it, this should be union
for definite practical purposes as well as
feasting and social enjoyment.

high sense of the important duty to be
