10 SOOthe at least the drunkdTd : SAD estate:
Intemp rance booms the running ulcer
Hydra head. rise under Hercules blows
All hail to him who England's blessings
Whose fame descend, from Saxon sire T.
Who led bv science, the secret did disclose
For shielding man from small pox breeding
foes!
While cycles roll Will Jenner'9 name be best
Md glory guard his ashes with the best
But higher still the world shaft viii raise
To honor him with everlasting praise,
Who, led by God, shall break the forge in
That binds mans soul with triple-coated
chain;
And highest yet to him who drives from
This god OF Rum that ruic9 the evil hour
Till then the Press a vigil has to keep,
To note the signs with vision wide 81

The fight is on-no neutral ground IS here;
Right versus Wrong-the end we need not

The sketch of the history of the North
| Carolina Press Association prepared aud
read by Mr. W W McDiarmid, was inter
esting, and was ordered to be printed in
the minutes. 1t was full Of personal
| "reminiscences, interspersed with Scotch
humor that gave it a charm us a literary
production as well as a historical value
We make only one extract from the valu-
able paper: g In our opinion Col. Saun-
ders has no superior, if, indeed, he has an
| equal in North Carolina to-day
the SIIhjpctS discussed the GlIeS-
! tion of Industrial Education commanded
! the most attention Addresses and re
marks in favor of the establishment of an
| industrial school were made by Messrs. }.
| ID. Bundy, Geo A. Frick j. II. Small,
| .oscphus Daniels, and Rev. p. Il. Law.
| After the adjournment an informal vote
was taken and 40 members voted for an
| industrial school-a few did not vote,
| having not as yet made up their minds.
| That was a significant vote. 1t means
| something
Col Pardee addressed the Association
| relative to the proposed meeting of North
| ern settlers next Fall, and while not in
any sense inaugurating the scheme the
| following resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS: This Association is informed
| that meeting of Northern people who have
settled in North Carolina is projected to be
| held in Raleigh during the State Fair, next
October, and
| WHEREAS: The Association is desirous of
promoting every effort to advance the mate
rial interests and welfare of the State, there
fore
| RESOLVED: That the objects proposed to
| be accomplished by the meeting commend
| themselves to us. and are worthy of the en-
| couragement of the State press.
| This can be made a great success and
we hope it will be- The CHRONICLE will
have something to say about the proposed
meeting later.
| \ resolution thanking the various rail
roads, naming them, for courtesies ex-
| tended, was adopted. JOsephus Daniels
entered the following protest:
''MR. PRESIDENT:
/ | desire to enter my earnest and solemn
protest to part of this resolution, tO-wit
| That portion which is expressive of the
/ thanks of the Association to the President
of the a. Il n. c. r. Il. | hope | am not
unappreciative or indisposed 10 make suit
able acknowledgment Of the cOurtesies
shown us by the railroad lines in the State.
/ | vote for the resolution checrfully, with
| the above exception. Especially do we
owe an expression of thanks to the r. &
ID. r. r. 90. for their generous bestow-
ment Of the courtesles OF a trip to Wash
| ngton | regret-more than have words
| to express my regretS-that | am cOmpell-
| ed to make an exception. But | feel that
| | cannot retain my self-respect and vote
for resolution thanking a man for cOur-
tesies which were coupled with an insult.
\ word of explanation of this painful but
| necessary course may be needed: Some
months ago the editor of the kinstOn Free
| Press criticized the management of the
A. " N. c. r. r. and published facts show
ing that the criticisms were just. The
| DraciJont Of ba rnaI SsaInt ha6 with n
little brief authority thought to punish
the editor by Withdrawing his pass, and
coupling the granting of new ones with
the requirement that the aforesaid editor
should say nothing other than words of
praise of the road. OF course no editor
could accept courtesies coupled with such
conditions.
Some days or weeks ago the Secretary
of this Association sent the names of the
members Of this body to the President of
this road, with the request that he furnish
passes for them to attend this session. He
complied with this request, sending passes
for every editor except Mr.. G. Z. Daniels,
editor of the klnston Free Press, who
wrote the articles criticlzlng the present
management of the road. Now will not
vote for resolutions of thanks to man
who could be guilty of such narrowness.
Two of my reasons are: 1st-Mr. Daniels
did not apply for the pass himself-it was
; asked for by the Secretary of the Associ-
alton. The Presidents refusal was an in
suit to the Association-not to Mr.. D.
2nd-Mr Daniels is editor of the Wilson
Advance as we'll as the Free Press and the
pass asked for him as editor of the
Advance.
Understand mel merely enter my
formal protest to thanking this man who
is State officer for what | conceive to bC
q gratuitOus insult to the Association
understand that my relation to Mr. G. c.
Daniels makes my position delicate one
+. If any other man IN this Association haC
t been similarly treated would not content
myself with mere protest. | should
have introduced a resolution denouncine
the act as the rectified essence of narrow
ness and lttleness, and calling upon the
l Governor to appoint more worthy mar
to fill this responsible office. l refrai1
from doing that for no other reason thar
that the gentleman who was denied tn,
courtesy extended to all other editors i
nv brother and my motive in pursuin.
such course might be misconstrued ant
misunderstood.
s AS soon as the protest was read Seyera
members felt that some action ought to b
!, taken in reference to the act compliance
i of i'll the protest: others thought not. I
committee of three was appointed to con
T slider the report. The majority report o
the committee was that the Association
