Nation.
 Jacob Pepperman, who went to In- dianapolis. Ind, with Major w. w. Screws and other Alabama editors, to attend the annual meeting of the Ma tional Editorial Association returned home yesterday. Other members of the party went on a trip to Canada | Tt was one of the best conventions I ever attended" said MT Pepperman. 1 There were nearly five hundred dele gates in attendance, and about three hundred ladies. The Hoosier editors
 and citizens of Indianapolis did every
 thing in their power to make us have
 a good time during our stay in that
 city.
 "on the evening of the public recep- | tion to the editors and their ladies af- ter the Governor of Indiana and the | Mayor of Indianapolis got through with the speeches Major Screws. who was sitting among the audience. wss
 called upon to speak, and although the
 call was unexpected to him, he made | the speech of the evening. His allu-
 sion to the great men of Indiana and their achievements gave evidence that
 Major Screws has a remarkable mem- ory of public men In this country. "As an Alabamian I feel proud of the high estimation in which Major Screws Is held by leading editors of l this country, regardless of political opinions.
 T havc attended the National Edito- rial conventions for many years, but never before have seen such an ova- ton given to any one, as was given to
 Editor Ycrby of Greensboro. After he
 finished his address before the conven-
 ton on the Newspaper Correspondent in the Russo-Japanese War, men and
 women crowded around him to extend congratulations. Several prominent
 editors said they took 1t that Mr. Yerby
 was a public lecturer, and wanted to arrange to have him come to their cities and deliver a lecture.
 The Alabama editors ard their la
 dies who were in Indianapolis felt proud of Mir. Ysrby's achievement.
 The election for president was very interesting. Governor Hoch of Kan sas, placed Mir. J. E. Junkin of Kansas, in nomination, and Past President r; V. Collins of Minneapolis. Minn., placed MT. Frank Greer of Guthrie. Oklahoma. in nomination. Mir. Junkin was elect ed after a hard struggle.
 MT. Avery c. Moore of Idaho, my son in law you know, was elerted third vice president. Major Screws, MT. l.. E. Bentley of New Orleans and myself were appointed a committee to pur- chase a suitable testimonial and pre- sent the same to Colonel John Dymond of New Orleans. the retiring president, in the name of the Association.

 of which he had been a member for
 half a century. gathered about the

 impressive Masonic funeral rites. Pray

THE LONGEST REPORTER TELLS
 OF THE LONGEST DAY IN YEAR

''The Longest Day in the Year by the Longest Reporter in the State" This is the memorandum found on my slate when I reported for duty yesterday. Evidently the city editor was in a facetious humor.
 It is fact that measure six feet Ave inches when I remove the silken hosiery that encases my feet and be- gin the deisarte exercise that sigma lizes my going to bed. I say this Is a fact. but that does not license the City Editor to be funny at my expense. Na- ture did the trick and am not ashamed of 1t.
 If the City Editor desires to couple the length of my stature with the freaks that nature plays with its sea- sons he shall have his way. He Is re- sponsiblc to the management Let the management answer to the readers.
 The Longest Day in the Year. Was 1t true? Even so. The weather man eaid 1t was. It is the business of the weather man to watch these thir gs. It had become my business to watch with him. The City Editor had said it.
 Now the mere fact that some chesty historical events nave been pulled off on June 21, is no affair of mine. What matters 1t to me if Henry Hudson was given his walking papers and enough meal for one hoecake and was sent sailing OCT a frozen bay on thal date away back wonder in 1911. Harry was not the only one to be at sea for this thing of writing something humorous under pressure Is not only enough to put one in mid -ocean--it is enough to give a malignant case of nal de mer. q picked that up when I met a long fellow from New Orleans once and he had overheard somebody in the second story of a boarding house talking Cre- ole-French.)
 There was fellow down town yes terday who was not the happiest per- son in sight of the fountain. He arose with the sun at 4:35 a. m This does not mean possibls reader that he was in bed. He had been sitting before a table playing a game and had lost more than on the evening before. The evening before he had just borrowed his credits worth. This fellow Is one of the kind that Is addicted to the use of mint julsps with two stfaws, but does not, so he claims, look upon any thing alcoholic while the sun Is up. Shortly after he arose he started for his breakfast with the fellow who, as a result of the "sittin'" was able to pay off his debts. The flush one was dry.
 "FIave a drink, says he.
 2 "Just goin to breakfast" said the loser.
