The knocker.

The ''knocker' is an offspring of
failure and envy. He is an only
child and like most "only" children
generally spoiled. He never reach
es real maturity. Success in others
hurts him like tight shoe.
| When he grows up he goes IN the
laundry business and wherever he
goes he carries with him a lot of
soiled lines and a clothes line. Hav-
ing no property of his own, and be-
ing too poor to rent he becomes a
''poacher, making his headquarters
in the offices of other people.
There he sets in his tub, stretches
his line and remains till you inter-
rupt him with polite invitation to
come again sometime-,when you are
not SO busy.
The ''knocker" al ways gets bust
ness for his firm which doesn't pay
his salary. AS soon as hi: own firm
find this out he is retired without
notice or pay. Nobody wants his
company. His employment is dan
gerous business policy. His words
are without fruit. No one places
any confidence in even@the-good
things he says. for they are...attrik-
uted to sinister motives. He is a
business vandal, continually tearing
down without replacing anything
better; an unwelcome creature with
a bad heart and eyes that are go
close together that he can peep
through keyholewith both of them
at once. He can It look you into the
eye for love nor money. In the quad
ruped kingdom he would be either
a hyena or a skuuk-or. "a cross
breed. Among the birds: of the air
he would be cuckoo in disposition,
with a crows complexion, while as
a reptile he would be rattlesnake.
He does everybody, relative in
cluded. Relatives ar. usually bis
first victims, because they are de-
cent enough to place some conf
donno in him He ia the one man
who can perform that wonderful
contortionistic feat Of getting be-
meath himself.
He is as dangerous to a commun
ity as a leper let loose.
When you meet a''knocker' don't
patrouize him. Don't listen to him.
Hit him in the place where his
brains ought to be and kick him
where they are.-Ex.

tee representing the citizens of
the city were at the depot to
welcome US, and at once all were
taken in carriages and buggies
and carried for a drive over the
city. Upon the return from the
drive we stopped at Hotel Louise.
During the afternoon the editors
were given every attention nee
essary for their comfort, and at
four o'clock were escorted out to
the baseball park to witness a
game between the home team
and a team from Wilson. The
Washington team was victorious,
and the game proved to be rather
one-sided as the Wilson boys
went to pieces.
After supper the Chamber of
Commerce had prepared a boat
excursion which was greatly en-
joyed by all. The pleasure of
this excursion was made greater
by the fact that quite a number
of the citizens accompanied the
editors. After the boat ride all
wenttothe Elk hall where speech
making and refreshments were
the order.
All the editors that went to
Washington were high in their
praise of the manner in which
her citizens entertained them,
and when a resolution was pre-.
sented to express in words the
feelings of their hearts it was
passed with cheers.
Among others that visited the
thriving city of Washington we
were very:much surprised at the
size and possibilities of the place
and the pluck and energy of its
citizens. We learned many
things not generally known about
this thriving eastern city and
hope in the near future to tel
our readers something about it.

THERE are many mysteries
about many things, but it seems
that something is wrong when
one concern is criticised for max
ing large dividends while another
makes capital of the fact that
they are paying big dividends.
If it is wrong for cotton mills or
railroads to make large dividends,
why is it not equally as wrong
for a trust company to do the
same thing. If it is right to
regulate one why not the other?

The NORTH CAROLINA PRESS ASS0CI-
ALTON.
The annual meeting of the
North Carolina Press Association
was held in Morehead City last
week-Wednesday and Thursday
and the attendance was graft
flying, also the papers presented
by those on the program were of
a high order and they were help
full.
To give a detailed account of
the proceedings would take up
much space, and would not be as
interesting possibly. as a discon-
nected account as one sees things
passing:
The editorial party west of
Durham passed here at 11:50
Tuesday and were joined here by
Editors Robinson of the Sun,
King of The Herald, and Council
of The Recorder. The day was
hot and the trip to the sea was
not completed until the cool of
the evening. Crop conditions
along the way were better than
we had been led to believe from
the many reports sent out.
The accommodation at the At
lantic hotel was all that could
have been expected, and the
management did their best to
make our stay pleasant, and from
reports of the editors on the re-
turn they succeeded. The cour-
tesies of the Norfolk & Southern
Railway were such that each
one had a good word to say for
the management of that rapidly
growing system that is doing so
much for the development of the
portion of the state through
which il runs.
Wednesday afternoon Messrs.
H. A. Foushee and 7. E. Geek,
who were at Morehead with their
families, gave the Durham ed
itors, Messrs. King, Robinson
and Council, and a few of their
friends a complimentary sail,
which was very pleasant and en-
joyable. A visit to the Govern
ment Laboratory and Fishery
and wireless telegraph station at
Beafort, Fort Macon, and several
other places of interest was made.
The sessions of the Association
were interesting and the papers
read contained timely hints that
were helpful. Officers elected
for the next year were as follows:
President-Archibald johnson,
of Charity and Children.
First-Vice-President-J. A.
Thomas, Of the Louisburg Times.
d-Pice-President-W. ].
Jordan, Of the Snow Hill Stand
ard.

bright life like butterflies lowering
over the flowers. The entertainment
consisted of a rose contest; each guest
received a rose bud which when opened
contained a list of conundrums to be
answered by names of flowers. Mrs.
Virgil S. Reiter received a bunch of
American beauty roses for answering
the questions most successfully. Mrs.
