MOVE TO HONOR
MODEST BILL NYE
North Carolina Press Association
Would Erect Popular Me-
mortal to the Humorist.

Wrightsville Beach. n. c., June s.
one OF the features Of the opening
session Of the annual convention Of
the North Carolina Press association.
which convened at the Hotel Tarrv-
moore this morning was the launch
ing or a movement to erect a substan-
tial memorial to the late "Biu Nve
the humorist, whose death occurred
at his home in this State in 1896. and
whose unmarked grave in Henderson
county is the mecca for many tour-
lists. The movement. which was in
troduced In the course of an essay
on journalistic problems by r. w.
Vincent Of the Charlotte Observer
was eloquently seconded by James H.
the Asheville Citizen in an
enthusiastic speech.
In proposing the memorial project
Mr.. Vincent said In part:
Up yonder in the mountain fast
nesses Of Henderson, in a lone grave
unmarked save by a rough stone
boulder. uninscribed. which by his
wish is the only monument he de-
sired lies all that is mortal of an
adopted son whose memory this State
has neglected to honor. one we are
proud to claim as OF our craft. the
lamented Bill Nye. 1t was his mis-
fortune not to have been born in North
Carolina. Maine claims that distinc-
tion. but the best years Of his life
were spent at beautiful Bu.x Shoals
and the best work of his career done
there. II was in the Carolina foot
hills that he gave UP the UNEQUAL
struggle. and II Is there that he is
buried.
I'VE cannot more ornately mark his
last resting place II we respect his
wishes. but we can erect, in Henderson,
vile, or Asheville, or, II you will. in the
shadow Of the capitol at Raleigh, a suit
able and substantial memorial to show
to the world that we know our duty and
have performed It. Who among us has
not delighted his soul with the Boone
rang stories or dropped a tear over tho
pathos of The Pass That Came Too
Late?" The good that he did IN making
the world brighter by the music of his
mirth cannot be measured In words, and
he left us things upon which to reflect
and thoughts upon which to build, for
ourselves a future, that. let us hope, may
be rewarded by those who live after us,
better than we have rewarded those who
have gone before"
In seconding the movement to erect a
memorial to Bill Nye, James II. Caine
OF the Asheville Citizen, said:
I'm endorsing the Nye monument move

no HINT OF IMMUNITY.

In none Of his negotiations with tn
railroad presidents has President Taft
suggested that there was any purpose on
the part of the administration TO apply
for a dissolution of 'he various trunk
line associations. AT the same time there
has been no intimation that any Of the
railroads would be granted immunity from
the Sherman antitrust law. The ad
ministration used the antitrust law IN
bringing the Injunction to stop the in
creased rates simply because there was
no other avenue open.
During the conference the question OF
the ability of the interstate commerce
commission 20 dispose of all the new rates
within the next II months was discussed
President Taft expressed the belief that
the present rates gave basis for com
parison which would not require much
time.

Tho eastern and central railroads, at
