In the election OF officers Whining
ton was honored by the selection by
the association otMr. Jas. Fl. Cowan,
editor of the Evening Dispatch, as
the orator for the year. Mr.. Cowan
delivered the address, OF welcome to
the editors in behalf of the local press
and he completely captivated the con-
vention. Many OF the States leading
newspaper men stated yesterday that
as an crater he was second only to
John Temple Graves.
The visitors say that the present
convention is undoubtedly the'largest
attended in the history~of the organi-
cation and their stay here could not
have been more pleasant ia any way.
For many it is their first trip to Will
mington and some have never seen
the broad Atlantic before and they
will return to their homes fully con-
WINGED of the oft repeated statement
that Wrightsville Beach is the great
est seaside resort in the South and
that it's hotels are second to none at
any resort.
Friday was ladies' day and it was
one of the most delightful OF the con-
vention. The Press Association was
rendered complimentary trip down
the historic Cape Fear river passed
the ruins of famous Fort Fisher, to
Fort Caswell'and Southport, by Cap
tain John w. Harper, the genial and
| popular friend of newspaper men'and
others, on the handsome steamer
Wilmington, of which he is owner and
master. An elegant luncheon was
served on the boat and the outing
proved to be thoroughly enjoyable.
Friday afternoon the editors were en-
tertained at the baseball game be-
tween Wilmington and Wilson.
Friday night a magnificent SOU
venir dance was rendered at Lumina
Park by the Tidewater Power Com
pany, complimentary to the visit
ors. This splendid pavilion which
holds 5000 people, was crowded to
it's capacity. The decorations illus
trated the idea of Japanese dance
and they were exceedingly tasteful
and effective. In addition to this the
Tidewater Power Company extended
the courtesy of it's lines to the editors
and members of their families during
their stay. A Press Association
badge was free passport all the
wearer having to do was to give the
number on his card issued by the
company.
In conclusion we quote the Smith
field Herald as follows:
''The editorial party was highly
pleased with the treatment received.
Nowhere have they ever been given a
more cordial welcome. To begin with
the Board OF Audit and Finance ap-
propriated $50Oto help entertain the
press crowd while in their midst. On
every hand were seen most striking
evidences of Wilmington's unbound
ed hospitality. AS soon as we arrived
in the city we were made to feel that
the city was ours.
'"The newspaper men of Whining
ton, and other leading citizens were
hospitaly itself. If the visiting quill
drivers lacked for any good thing it
was their own fault. While many
did much for our pleasure, not one of
the party will soon forget Edit or
James Fl. Cowan of the Evening Dis
patch. Busy man, though he was. he
seemed to be always on hand looking
for some opportunity to make the
press party's stay more pie asant."
The closing event OF the convention
was an attractive souvenir dance at
Lumina, North Cardinals pleasure
resort, Friday, given complimentary
by the Tidewater Power Company.
The handsome pavilion was decora-
ted throughout with japanese colors
and proved to be one of the most elab-
crate OF the many special dances given
by the company.
