MORGANTON.

In the mountains of Burke is the
gem OF the upper Catawba, an old
town which within a few years has
felt the touch of a progressive
spirit. 1t is an historic place; its
people have made history. The
battle of Kings Mountain is one of
the memories of the heroes of Burke
There had been some opposition to
holding the North Carolina Press
convention in Morganton, because it
was thought that q town of it's size
could not conveniently make the
stay of many visitors pleasant and
profitable. But these fears were dis
sipated on reaching Morganton.
An air of comfort pervades that
town and many new residences testi-
| fly to the good taste and conserva-
tive wealth. of her people. There
are also the evidences of culture and
education which new towns usually
lack. Industrially, Morganton points
with pride to the great tannery, her
woodworking establishment, etc.
Her unrivalled climate has been well
appreciated by the State which has
built there great hospital for the
insane and another for the deaf and
dumb.
The meeting of the Press Associa-
ton was quite as interesting as
usual, although, perhaps, not a full
amount of work was accomplished.
However, what was done was with a
most fraternal spirit and the press
of the State will benefit from the
meeting.
During the whole time the citizens
Of Morganton were most attentive
to her visitors, and we are satisfied
that few towns can rival her in hos
pitality. She has citizens that any
place would eproud of. Among her
worthy people some are in the State
"a supreme judge, a superior judge,
a State treasurer, a railroad COM
missioner. Other men of intellect
are among her people. 1t is our
pleasure to pay our special compli
ments to Mr.. G. P. Erwin, to Judge
Avery, Judge Bynum, Mayor Pear
son, Editor Erwin and others. Their
hands were friendly, their homes were
hospitable.
The magnificent panorama which
is spread out to the eyes of visitor
who stands on the banks of the
Catawba is a priceless picture of
nature and at once sublime and
beautiful. One may well praise the
surroundings of Morganton and the
virtues of her people.

TWENTY FIVE million dollars is q
big pile of money. This amount
represents the surplus turned into
the Treasury by the Pension De-
partment during the first year of
Democratic administration. The re-
firing Republican Commissioner esti-
mated a deficiency of fifteen million
dollars. So, we have difference be-
tween Republican estimate aud
Democratic expenditure of forty mil
lion dollars. From these figures it
is not difficult to distinguish between
the party of extravaganza and the
party of economy.
