Session in Asheville.

Greensboro, N. c., May The an
nual meeting of the North Carolina
Press Association this year will be
one of the greatest events Of the kind
ever occurring in the state by reason
of the fact that not only will the Viz

President Warner in reply to the mes
sage pboned him, declared that the
proposition was perfectly feasible, and
was. in addition splendid one. and

the visits could be paid to both
Greensboro and Salisbury, the battle
ground ceremonies being covered here,

morning spent in Salisbury. Negotia-
tions are now in progress for submit
ting this attractive programme to the
