THE PRESS CONVENTION.
Comments of Editors on the Meeting
at Wrightsville.

Every visit made to Wilmington re-
veals the fact that our hospltaole city
on the Cape Fear is developing in i'm
portance and making improvements
that tend to give her great Importance
as a southern port. This is gratifying
10 North Carolinians, who lave a patri-
otto pride in the growth and progress
of every section of u state.
Mr.. Iredell Meares, an exceedingly
talented and affable member Of the
Wilmington bar, delivered the address
of welcome to the editors at Wrighrs-
willie Beach. at their recent meeting,
and in behalf of the OF Com
merce, and the people Of Wilmington, 1t
was a real pleasure TO hear his words
of encouragement, and his facts ana
figures on the volume OF business done
at that port were as interesting as they
were astonishing to those who had not
given the matter more careful
A great future is ahead o. wilmington,
and her climate and advantages are
year by year being recognized in an
ever widening circle. The fact that
Wilmington does a business Of S32, OOO,-
900 a year was a surprise to many-and
a very gratifying UprJse This port
annually exports 800, 900 bales Of cotton,
and does a cotton business Of sl5,0 DOC, OtC
/ a year. In the matter Of trucking, the
| one item of strawberries alone, in a ra-
| diu Of eighty miles, developed the fact
| that 5000, 900 crates wera shipped, anC
there was distributed among the grow
ers S750,OO0 a season. The city is tbs
headquarters Of a great railway system
the Atlantic Coast Line one Of IN,
most magnificent financial institution:
in the n II is also the terminus o
the Seaboard Air Line, another splendid
road, which will eventually have
coaling station al Southport.
The condition of the water at the bar
on the Cape Fear-21 feet at low tide
and from % to % feet in the channe
between Wilmington and the sea, give
a most gratifying outlook for a vas
amount of business. The trucking bus
mess in that section is said TO be in ii
infancy, and is yearly growing in i'm
portance. The people are fast begin
ming 20 realize the possibilities with
their reach for a great, active and pros
perous community, and the years I

extended to the Press Association a
warm reception to the city and Its VI
cinity. Among other things, he said
the city did a business that aggregated

wives Of the editors cana without their

the surf and cooling breeZes were de-
ughtful. Everybody nearly, went down
into the ocean. Many went for the
first time, and their trepidation n

laughter to spectators. The service OF
the Seashore Hotel was good. We
heard no complaints We hardly knew
any better proof to advance that it is

III. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh of the Stomach is Generally
Called Dyspepsia. to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence. Pepsin. Pancreatin and a Host
OF Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which is
Really Catarrh.

Tx. q. S. Senator NJ. C. Butler from
- South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms In a re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, d. c.. says:
"Ican recommend Peruna' for dys.
pepSia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for q short
period and feel very much relieved.
1t is indeed q wonderful medicine be.
sides q good tonic. '-.-M. G.. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrf. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. 1t cures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases Of dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. Ifcatarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.
