THE STATE PRESS ASSOCLA.
TON.

We had purposed expressing before
this time the qualification we feel or
account of the higher ground taken by
the North Carolina Press Association
in the matter of its membership, as
evidenced by the improved personnel
of the late meeting and the determine
ton since expressed by Mr.. Sheriff.,
OF the Concord Times, the new secre-
tary, to still further restrict the list OF
eligibles. When the Association be-
comes. as it is now rapidly becoming,
an association of iona fae editors and
publishers of newspapers, there will be
no reason why any editor or publisher
in the State should not join it, Here
tofore, SO miscellaneous has been its
character, that a journalist of self-re-
spect and respect for his profession
might with good reason have held
aloof from it. (This is said with all
respect for the many self-respecting
gentlemen who have been members of
the Association all the while.) Speak
ing with entire frankness, the editor
of the Landmark says for himself that
he never cared to participate IN
meeting where Office imps and out
slders, some of them having no con-
nection whatever with the newspaper
business, might figure as editors and
publishers on the same footing with
and by ignorance and bad
behavior bring scandal on the pro-
fession. These classes being excluded
from attendance upon the Press As
ISOLATION, the body becomes one which
1t IS very desirable tor an editor or
publisher to join, and under the i'm
proved administration of affairs the
writer would certainly have attended
the last meeting and applied for mem
bership except that business engage
ments kept him at home. We have
high opinion of the character ard abil-
lty OF the press of our State; there is
not a member of it from whom the
editor of the Landmark does not feel
that he could get points; for very
many oil them he has the highest per-
'onal esteem. Since the Press Asso-
citation is henceforth to De COMPOSED
only of gentlemen engaged in the ac-
tual work OF editing or publishing
newspapers, we feel altogether dis
posed to become connected with il :
md to reap the benefits winch will
accrue from association, Tor purposes
Of business and pleasure, with those
Engaged in the same profession. Ne
cit no such disposition when a mis-
>ellaneous admixture of bows and men
'f all sorts of callings masqueraded !

:iation of North Carolina. {

WADE HARRIS, city editor Of the

the Charlotte public building bill has

work of really creditable nature he

She dropped her blue eyes shyly,
And softly answered YES
Then he laid in her hand parcel
That came that day by express.
She looked up in sudden wonder,
To see what it all could mean,
And found it was an attachment
TO go on her Davis sewing machine

Lately danced till she got into sweat;
Then she swore like man,
Till they brought her fan,
When she cody danced out every set

Veritas Speaks.

How long will it be before men will
learn by OTHER mems experience all that
refers to every day life and their true
interest?
We have all read about wooden
horse that was presented to and &C
cepted by the Trojons; il became very
troublesome as it disgorged the enemies
of Troy. The mission OF the wooden
horse of Troy demands a calm con-
sIderatlon. Thus far the people of these
mountain regions have resisted every
temptation to barter away constitu-
tional liberty for the husk, for the &C.
emulation of riches in place of Demo-
cratic principles which secure to all
men life, liberty. and the persuit of
happiness, which is of more value
tlan fine gold. It is but short tin 9
ago that your morniIg cotemporaI Y
was lamenting over the mulitudes
of tramps and black legs that were
flowing into this city, and went on to
berate the city authorities for net
stopping the nuisance. 1t occurred to
me at the time that the scene of
modern civilization ought to have re-
NAMED where 1t originated. where it
was begotten. And now our modern
horse of Troy is to be sent snortiog
through the land with a name insc ibed
in gold letters Utah" followed by the
significant invitation, Come and eat
me-"
I claim that We should never squirm
over what we help to bring into our
midst 1t would do very we'll if none
but tn honorable would come TO Utah.
We love honorable people; let them
come and breath the pure air OF heaven,
and worship according to the dictates Ct
their conscience but the tramp blackeg,
and refuse of modern society ara not
wanted. Please dump then in some
other place. Yet, if your wooden
horse gathers at all, it will gather of
every kind. even the brandy noses and
pugnacious politicians.

THE REGATTA AT PORT HENRY.


The yacht. race at Port Henry the 4th.
was well attended, Burlington being repre-
scented by the following boats First class,
Burlington and Champlain second class.
Agnes 7. and Ripple third class, Gypsey.
the first named winning The first prizes in
their respective classes. There was very
heavy south wind, and all the craft were
compelled to carry single reef The
course was a triangular one of about six
miles in length, and was to be
sailed over twice by the two
first classes and once by the third.
The yachts were to start at ! o'clock but
it was not till after half past the hour
named that the seconi class was sent off,
the Ripple and Agnes I getting off close
ly together. The former rounded the first
stake boat ahead but before the second one
was reached the Agnes took the lead and
| held it to the finish. The two made very
pretty race which shows that neither Is
greatly the superior Of the other. Indeed
there is talk already of a series of races
between the two boats to see if that mat
ter cannot be settled.
The third class, in which the Gypsie and
Goat of Port Henry were the contestants,
were started shortly after the second class
were sent Off The latter lead off aud re-
tanned her position till the second buoy
was reached when the Gypse, by closely
shaving the stake boat, with scarcely a
foot to spare, went to the head and took the
prize closely pushed by the New York
boat.
The first class got the signal shortly af-
ter the other started, but owing to the fact
that the Champlain had not been fitted
for racing, and in fact her repairs for her
summers cruising had not been finished,
she was unable to make the contest very
close one and the Burlington finished an
easy winner. There was no time declared
in any Of the classes. The prizes with the
exception of the second in the third class
are all handsome silver cups, the other
being pair of marine glasses.
The Ripple and Burlington started on
the return trip at about the same hour.
| The run home was a very close and excit-
ing one between them. First one would
lead then another, according to the wind,
but at the close the sharpe was ahead and
she came to her anchorage first. Some OF
| the others have not returned vet the
opportunity being improved for more
| extended cruise.
