Inc Annual Session of the
Virginia Press Association.

Old PoiNr, Va, July - After session
extending over two DAYS held ri the
Chamberlin Hotel the annual meeting OF
me ' irSInIa Press Association adjourned
tonight. President d. Shelly Lewis. of

held today. After transacting routine

was read 10y A. +. Rowe. Jr. aud the
memorial was ordered to be eugrossed and
copy sent 10 the widow Of the deceased
ehItor. The principal feature of the after
noon session WAS an address by Mr

aud when he concluded vote Of thanks
was extended to him. Mr.. Bryan said in
part:

VIRGINIA JOURNALISM.

Mr. Bryan then followed the history of
the press, noting the progress made ia
journalism from time to time. AT pres
ent, he said, "there we're over 2O,000
periodicals published in the United States,
and that one issue of these will amount To
iO,OOO,OOO copies. After discussing the
history OF the European press, and COM
pairing it TO the American newspaper. the
speaker reviewed the journalism OF Viz
glnla, saying amOug other things that in
this pursuit, as in others, which relate to
public action and TO public duty, Virginia
had her full share of able men. 1t must
be an inspiring thought to every Virginia
editor to know that whether he accepts
the Jellersouian or the Hambletonian
theory Of our Government, Whether he
comes OF Wing or Democratic antecedents,
is a republican or democrat to-day, free
trader or protectionist, he has had ante
cedents Of a noble and exalted character.

DUTY Or AZ EDITOR.

Mr.. Bryan then spoke Of the duties OF
an editor "lhe first duty in editing any
paper, and especially those which are de-
priyed of Geographic facilities said he,
sis to get fully and attractiycly the local
news. This news belongs to the local
newspaper. In it the editor may and
should he monopolist, aud if lac is not,
he fails at once in his opportunity and his
duty. a local newspaper may he made a
local necessity, and may by diligence win
from even an unwilling community sup
port and profit. This is within the ability
Of any competent and industrious editor
The most valuable asset of news

We know that a newspaper cannot be
printed indefinitely at a loss. but like any

which to occupy your attention for bret
space have thought that nothing would
be more fitting than the subject of the
newspapers. 1t il probable that. howeve
expert an individual may he in the prac-
teal conduct Of newspaper, he NAV
never have troubled himself 10 investigate
their origin and development and their
present condition as one OF the features of
modern civilization. One of the most
natural of all desires planted in our
nature is that TO heas news. doubt not
that there will be eNcaVated from the
ruins of Ninevah and Babylon some form
of a newspaper and We know that when
ST. Paul visited Athens lac found there
ready listeners to his great declaration OF
the truth which would make them free
because all the Athenians and strangers
which were there, spent their time in
nothing else but either 10 tell or 10 hear
some new things. We are also told that
IN the days Of the Roman empire, there
was demand for news which was satisfied
by written sheet called the acta diurna.

This is one of the best mines in this
section of the country. The amount
of ore that one sees below ia wonderful.
Indeed the mine is we'll ventilated
and men can work in perfect comfort.
We finally started on our return trip
which was made much more rapidly
than the Ell Paso street cars run at
present. When we arrived al the
surface we were met by D. B. Smith,
the superintendent, who then showed
me over the works, which are certainly
complete in every detail. They are
shipping thirty car loads Of
ore "a week and there is
now on dump at the
Candeleria mines ready for shipment,
about one hundred and fifty Thousand

works; good many of the houses have

efficient superintendent this mine is

SAN PEDRO, Dec. 7th, 1898.
To the HERALD: 1 arrived in San
Pedro yesterday, and rode from the
station on q lumber wagon, that 1
happened to catch just leaving the de-
pot. The passengers beside myself
were two men, one woman, one little
girl, q dog, and q Chinaman. We
were a very jolly crowd. 1t is about
four miles from the depot to the camp or
San Pedro proper. When 1 arrived
at the camp was given q very cordial
greeting by the superintendent of the
San Pedro mines, David B. Smith, and
other officials of the mine. The first
hard work I did was to watch q game
of lawn tennis that wss played by the
employees of the Candelaria Mining
company on the beautiful grounds
that they have leid out
hardly imagine my surprise to find q
game of that kind being played in q
far away mining camp. 1t made me
feel as though 1 was in my own coun-
try. After the game was through We
adjourned to Chinese restaurant and
had q very nice supper.
Early the next morning. l struck out
for the opposite side of the mountain
to look at the Mexican portion OF the
settlement. 1t is about II mile to 20
around by the road but to 60 as the
crow flies it is only half
mile. 1 took the nearest
route of course and soon arrived on

The clerk read communication
from City Engineer Wimberly report
ing favorably on extending the sewer

Matter was laid over until next meet

Alderman Scott said that he wished
to make some definite arrangements
with the Electric Light Co. He had
seen Messrs. White and Wehner and
they were ready to meet committee
from the council, so he moved that the
mayor and the fire and water commit

THE CITY PRINTING.

THE CITY PRINTING.
When the bill for the city's printing
was read the argument began. Alder
man Clifford, who read the bills, asked
Mr.. McKie, who was present, if he had
taken that work at the old contract?
slant and said, "No sir, I.didn't, and 1t
was understood by the councilmen gen.
orally that the contract of the official
paper had run out. 1 would like to
ask Alderman Robinson Q question
right here. Do you remember one
morning that l met you on the street
and you told me to cut q notice out of
the morning Times and print it?"
Robinson said, Eyes" "Do you re-
derstood that the Tribune Telegraph
should do the city's work."
Yes" "And you said that
1 should continue to do the work at the
old contract price and told you that I
didn't intend to do that as 1 was only
carrying out the contract made by Mr..
Lowe, the owner of the paper before I
took hold of 1t, and didn't want to do
the work at the old rate?'' Robinson
versstion. Here the mayor asked
about the s75 bill, separate from the
larger one. Mr.. McKie explained that
that was for the extra number of times
the work WAS done. This was where
he claimed Clerk Catlin had made q
mistake.
Councilman Badger asked the clerk
IL he could explain the mistake. Mr..
Catlin said that there was poor proof
reading or q mistake made in two edi-
tions of the paper in which the or
dinances were printed, and he went
there and told Mr.. McKie about it.
This Mr.. MoKie denied emphatically
and said that the paper had run five
times before Mr.. Catlin came around
there.
AS to the misunderstanding about
the rate which the city was to pay for
the printing, the clerk said th at it was
work was to be done uuder the old
contract. Mr.. McKie said, 81 deny
every word Of that entirely, as there
was no understanding of that kind"
Councilman Burton, getting tired of
seeing the ex-editor talk to the clerk
and Councilman Robinson in such q
way, said, "This matter has taken a
peculiar turn of affairs and to get rid
OF the whole business / move that the
whole amount be paid, and hereafter
hava it especially understood that one
OF the aldermen make the contract for
the city printing, then we will know
that 1t is done. I'll do 1t myself If no
body else will"
The motion was put, that all the
bills read be allowed and warrants
drawn to cover them. Motion carried.
There were some other pest house
bills. but as the county is to pay its
share Of them, one half, they were laid
over for the commissioners to look at
Reports OF special committees were
next called and Alderman Badger
made a report from the committee to
look into the matter OF buying pump
and engine for the sewer station, in
which he recommended that the city
buy pump and engine built by the
Weber Gasoline Engine Co. which
was the cheapest and best of the seven
bids looked over by the committee.
The council so ordered.
Mr.. Badger then asked the council
what he must do in regard to the new
pump house and the council instructed
