The North Carolina State Press As
ISOLATION met in Greensboro on the
18th inst.
The selection Of this point for the
meeting was = happy one in many re-
spects. The very hospitable character
OF the people delighted the editors, and
they were instructed and edited by the
extraordinary business character and
progress OF the community.
The members Of the Association were
given an opportunity To inspect all in
teresting establishments, and much Of
what they saw was q revelation, both
As to what is already existing and what
is contemplated.
The editors were given the full free
dom OF the city, and were the guests Of
the town at the superb hotels Benbow
and McAdOO. Mayor Nelson, assisted
by some OF the prominent citizens,
played the host to perfection. Moth
ing desirable was wanting both rs TO
substantial provision for physical re-
freshment and for mental recreation
and amusement. OF the latter character
was a concert given by the BrOokman
School Of Music on Wednesday evening.
An orchestra, the members Of which
are pupils of Professor BrOckman, Of
fered an entertainment, the merit Of
which was equal to most and far SUI
periOr to many professional Orchestras
that are employed for special occasions
or travel for the pleasure of . cultured
public. Prof. BrOckman himself is q
master of music and is especially pro-
flcient with the violin.
Among the institutions which rivet-
ed the attention of the Association was
the State Normal and Industrial
School for girls. This is the only in
stitutiOn in the State which seeks tO
provide practical education for women
equal to that offered men on a
basis Of equal expense. 1t is . fact
] that the average expense attendant on
the education of girl in North Caro-
lima is from two to three times as
much as that of bOy-the standard
being the same. This school is design
ed to do away with this discrimina-
ton, and give women at least an equal
chance with men in equipping them
selves for the duties of life. The school
has all the pupils it can accommodate
and President McIver deplOres the fact
that he is obliged to turn away hun.
dreds of applicants.
Another institution is the immense
Finishing Mill of the Southern Ware.
house and Finishing Company. This
establishment, fitted up with the most
modern machinery finishes the prod
uct OF fOrty-seven southern cotton
mills, and the results Of this process
are far reaching. One of the cOnsequen
ces is that the whole civilized world
knows what southern made goods are
now, and the prices received for them
are equal to the prices of any. Until
the finishing process was instituted
this was not SO, and it is of very recen,
date. The company owning this plant
has recently purchased sixteen hun.
dred acres Of land and will begin the
erection of two immense cotton mills
The Association was taken to the
IGullfOrd Battle Ground by specia
train, where they were cordially re.
celved by Judge Schenck, who hs:
done work that will make his name
live in history, in rescuing this spO,
from oblivion and converting it int
q park which shall be Mecca OF
patriotism. 1t promises to be a pride
of the State. If the plan and scope O
the work were more fully cOmprehen.
ded by the people generally, they would
make liberal provision for promoting
them. Every North CarOlinian should
have an interest in this work and tina,
interest ought to be secured by 4 con.
tributiOn of some kind. however small
1t was here that the british force.
were SO broken as to cause the surren.
der of CORVALLIS which resulted in
American Independence.
The editors will not undertake to tel
about all the features of interest and
acts of kindness and hospitality the,
saw and met with in the "City o.
Flowers" They were delighted; anG
they will always be ready to affirm Of
Greensboro all that can attach to 4
live, progressive, big-hearted mora
tpeople.
