The Wilson Advance. WILSON, N. C, - -Sept. 17, 1891, NORFOLK, VA. (editorial correspondence.) Atlantic Hotel, Norfolk, September, nth, 1891. Where is Norfolk, anyway, you ask ? Well, if you are a reader .of the Advance you don't ask either, for all Advance readers know. And the Advance young man tried to tell you something about it last week, too. But he was not exactly satisfied with what h,e told, because it was not enough; It was too meagre, too commonplace. , So Thursday, doubtless before many of you had seen this paper for last weekt he put a few sample copies, a clean collar, some blank advertising contracts and rate cards in his grip sack and boarded the north-bound 1:58 p. m. train, and ran down to Norfolk to see lor himself. At Rocky Mount he changed cars, leaving the elegant Coast Line coaches for the equally comfortable and elegant ones of the Norfolk and Carolina. This train is, perhaps, the fastest in North Carolina. On Thursday the run from Rocky Mount to Tarboro," a distance of 17 miles, was made in fifteen minutes by the watch. The track is an air line and the train is a hummei. The iron is heavy and the track kept in first class condhition ; so the time is nothing so extraordinary. You have no idea how fast you are running. Some over-squeamish people, who are not "hustlers" and up to modern ways, object to such fast traveling. But they ought to rest easy. High au thorities say fast traveling is the safes,t. And for this reason : Every precau tion is taken to avoid accidents, by the fast trains. A slow schedule makes everybody feel safe and less cautious. On a fast schedule every body is watchful and on the alert. Inside of ten years 90 miles an hour will be no unusual time for trains in the United States. On the Pennsyl vania roads 60 miles an hour is made daily, nd accidents are rare occur rences. The Norfolk and Carolina Road is splendidly equipped. Every safe guards possible is arranged, and then the engineers' are told to "go it." From Rocky Mount to Norfolk is 119 miles and the schedule time is 3 hours and 30 minutes. And more than 30 stops are made. So you see that is fast remarkably so. So much for the road. If you don't like it you need not go that way. The Advance likes it, and it's our route under the present arrangement. En vious people may declare it is, be cause this young man has been called "fast." In some things he hopes he is. But- At Rocky Mount he saw Mr. E. G. Barnes, one of Wilson county's best citizens. He was going to Hob good, the junction of the N. & C. and the Scodand Neck, Greenville & Kinston roads. His son, Roscoe, is the agent at that point, and a clever, popular young man, he is, too. Chatting pleasantly with Mr. Barnes the time passed swifdy by. He told him many things. But of them he may write later. Mr. J. W.Hines, who is one quiv ering bundle and pulsating tangle of energy, and the livest of Rocky Mount's wide-a-wake citizens, and Mr. R. R. Cotten, a large merchant planter and prominent citizen of Pitt county, were on the train. Mr. Hines, full of Rocky Mount, its won derful growth and prosperity, ban tered the Advance young man for a comparison of figures, showing the value of buildings, and he was oblig ed. Mr. Hines was "out-figgered ' and, as usual, Wilson lead the pro cession. But Mr. Hines is a "figger er" from Figgersville. He thinks Wilson will be a big tobacco market. Advance readers know it At Roanoke river the train was forced to wait for a steam derrick on a flat to go through the bridge. This gave the passengers an opportunity to become acquainted and, incident ally, see the magnificent bridge that spans the Roanoke at this point. It was confidently predicted by the people in that section, who were thoroughly acquainted with the wild and reckless custom of this capricious stream, that no bridge could be built at this point, and, if built, it would not stand six months. The bridge was built, and has been in use for sixteen months. If the Advance lives to be 100 years old (and the prospects are bright) it believes that bridge will be right where it now is. Man's ingenuity is something won derful, anyhow. Just think of it ! A section of that bridge, 100 feet long, perhaps, and weighing tons, was slowly swung into position by one man using a hand-spike, so accurate ly and beautifully was it "balanced. That is what the passengers saw, and wondered at. The terminus of the road is Pin ner's Point. Here the company's own barge is waiting and passengers are quickly transferred to the Norfolk side jot the Elizabeth river and landed at the wharf where they can board the Bay line boats, or come up to town. The Advance young man came up town. And he stopped at the New Adantic Hotel, the best in the city. It is a magnificent building, containing 225 rooms lighted by electricity, heated by steam and first class in every respect, He says this on his own accord, freely and volun tarily, as he generally does. After ascending the marble steps and pas sing through the door of the main street entrance you enter a court paved with tasselated marble, just beyond which is the clerk's desk, behind which stands Mr. E. M. Parker, the courteous day clerk. Mr. W. A. Reed runs things and answers questions at night. The table, like everything else connected with this hostelry, is first class. Mr. Dodson, the proprietor, has a place of which he is jusdy proud, as it is a credit to Norfolk. This morning I started out to in terview some of the business men. I met some that are the stuft. They are business men, and as I talked business from the start, treated me cleverly. The first place I stopped at was the office of HARRELL BRO S., on Commerce street. Yes, they are commission merchants. More than that, they rich men, able to buy anything they want. Both are North Carolinians, from Murfreesboro. They have been in Norfolk many years, and, while thoroughly identified with its every interest, cannot forget the "Old North State." They have hosts of friends and acquaintances in the Eastern section, and hope to' know many Advance readers. They so licit shipments of country produce. We do not hesitate to commend them to our friends. Mr. Preston Mont gomery, their manager, is a jolly good fellow, fond of a joke, but keen on the scent of business. His friends say he is economical with his own affairs, consequentiy he Will do to trust with those of other people. Right next door to this firm is the office of S. B. HARRELL & CO., and we stepped in to see them. Capt. "Sam," as his friends here call him, greeted us heartily. We met him a year ago. He remembers faces and knew us instantly. Consequent ly we felt pleased in fact, felt good enough to let him have some Ad vance advertising space, and its mighty valuable, too. He wants to do business with Advance readers. He doesn't care where you live. If you have any produce to sell he wants to sell it for you. He is a shrewd, close1 dealer. The truth is "the boys" say "Capt. Sam" says he would shave 'oftener than once a week, but the wear on a ' razor is so great. We know that is a lie, for he was shaven clean this morning, and he told us he shaved 36 times every day. D. ETHERIDGE & CO., successors to Etheridge, Fulgham & Co., were next seen. They are from North Carolina, too. And come near being from Currituck to Chero kee, but compromised with Camden. Mr. Wright the Co. of the firm, as sured us that they hada nice, large business alredUy, but from what I told him of ourselves he concluded they would like to do business with us. And so he "came up and took sugar in his'n," as-the Advance ad vertising columns bear witness. Mr. Wright was in the employ of the old firm for many years. He is a good worker, affable and polite, attentive to all business demands and details, and upon the death of Mr. Fulgham and the re-organization of the firm early this year, he came in as a partner, a position won by push, pluck and preseverance, aad to which his business sagacity eminently fits him. Just around the corner from Com merce is Roanoke Square, and here I found B. G. POLLARD & CO. Mr. Pollard, the senior member of the firm I presume, is a pleasant- mannered, mild faced man, who has passed the meridian of life evidentiy, for his hair is streaked with grey and and an iron-grey moustache does not hide the firm lines of his mouth, and adds to his handsome "appearance. He is also a last years' acquaintance. He does not believe that his adver tisement in the Advance brought him the many shipments he received from this section last fall, but he climbed into the band wagon that is leading the procession, and says to my friends who remembered him last season, "Do so again." Perhaps you will. I trust so. I know how honor able and straight-forward he is. He is an old friend of our Mr. J. E Clark. They were youngsters to gether when business is not the same as it is now. These are the new men represent ing Norfolk in my columns to-day I believe they are all right. I believe produce, such as cotton, peanuts, etc. shipped to them, will be sold to the best advantage, for top market prices and prompt return of proceeds made If I am mistaken, if any reader of the Advance is wronged by any of these firms, I want to know it. I want the Advance advertising columns to be used by respectable, upright and honorable businesses. No others shall creep in, it I can prevent them. And I believe I can. I have long wanted to know per sonally the firm of COOKE, CLARK & CO., the successors of Mr. Luther Sheldon, a North Carolina boy, who came here and entered the race to come out winner with big money. His untir ing energy, generous dealings and shrewd management, built him up a large patronage. Perhaps no Nor folk merchant was better known in North Carolina than Mr. Sheldon. A large measure of his success was doubdess due to his persistent, judi cious advertising. For more than nine years his advertisement occupied space in the Advance columns. I think failing health had something to do with his retirement from an active business life. His successors are following in his footsteps, and the'ir success is not wondered at. The wonder would be that they did not succeed. I called at their office and was fortunate enough to find Mr. Clark in. He was busy, of course, but found time to heartily welcome me. I was greatly pleased with him, and glad to know their business was prospering. Another firm I wished to know are the rivals of Cooke, Clark & Co. hearty, good-natured, healthy rivals they are, too, C A. NASH AND CO., whose claims for patronage the Ad vance has been presenting for the past three years. I walked around to their own commodious building on Adantic street, and, after waiting a lew moments for his return, met Col. Nash, the head of the firm. He won his title in the "late unpleasantness" and it becomes him well. He is a tall, fine, splendid looking gentleman with a military air about him that thirty years of commercial life have not rubbed off. He is as genial and sunny as a day in June, and I thought of how pleasant it must be to do business with, or know, such a man, and it is too. So it is no wonder that his business is so prosperous. He is the dear personal friend of our own Capt. Sam Hodges, and, "tell it not in Gath, breathe it not in the streets of Eschalon," is the handsom er man of the two, hard as it is for you to believe. I am proud of the acquainrance of such a handsome gentieman as Col. Nash "a Virgin ian of Virginians." The marble yard of JOHN D. COUPER & SON is worth visiting. They have just completed a handsome fire-proof building (lor fire is as equally dam aging to marble as to dry goods) and have fitted up a show room 100 feet long that attracts many visitors. They are now at work upon the stones to mark the grave of Paul Murray, of Wilson, whose untimely death in Alabama not long since, startled his friends, and also a monu ment to mark the grave of the moth er and father of Mr. W. C. Woodard of Rocky Mount. They have been awarded the contract to erect in the cemetery here a mausoleum for a Mrs. Le Keis, to cost $30,000. It will be one of the finest in the United States. The inside, I learned as one item, will be lined with polished granite, Italian marble and Mexican onyx. If allowed to express my opinion, I should pronounce such foolishness extravagant folly; but it is none of my business, nor my fu neral. Still I do regret to see so much money wasted. Knowing that two of Wilson's young ladies, Miss Annie Harriss and Susie Moye would attend NORFOLK COLLEGE. FOR YOUNG LADIES, and having half an hour to spare I walked up to see the Principal, Prof. Cassedy. He was engaged, but I was graciously received by Mrs. Cassedy, his charming wife, who is Lady Principal. She is a beautiful woman and delightfully entertained me during my short stay, and I felt amply repaid for my walk of two blocks to reach the building. To have built an equipped an institution that stands second to none in the South should be a matter of pride to the community. The rapid strides it has made in the last three years is truly a subject for congratulation to the present management The pat ronage in that time has been increas ed by 137 pupils. The boarding de partment has been increased from a patronage ol five to seventy -five in three years. This shows both careful training and attractive surroundings. Those who attended the college in the days when its halls were barren wastes and its spacious rooms desolate with out an oasis of decoration in them, would be astonished to see the changes that have taken place. Finely papered walls, beautiful upholstered furniture, pictures and bric-a-brac, everywhere! Cozy little corners lux uriously fitted up, where the happy faces of its fortunate girls are seen, busy over their tasks, or in recreation time, telling each other with myste rious nods and airy graces the thous and weighty secrets of schoolgirl life And here we find a telegraphic in strument where sits an earnest faced girl learning the art' which to her means self-support; and there is an other bending over a typewriter, and another learning stenography and another book-keeping. And up in j the studio (one ol the nnesi in tne ( South) you'll find a New York artist of note giving instructions in draw ing, painting in oil on china and in wood carving. A pupil of the re nowned Courtney is giving vocal lessons, and a professor from Stutt gart Conservatory is teaching piano. A native parisian is teaching French, and a renowned public reader is teaching elocution, and so on. There is scarcely any limit to the advan tages here offered. Go and see it yourself. The courteous principal will be happy to see you for he is justiy proud of the institution in his charge and likes to talk about it. Mrs. Cassedy tells me that already the boarding department is full for next session, and it is under serious con templation to rent another house for some of the teachers so that more girls can be accomodated in the building. Prof. Cassedy says he has the finest faculty for next year that the college has ever had. HOW MANY ? How many North Carolinians are in Norfolk no one seems to know. I don't, I confess, but everybody knows they are here. I regret very much not being able to see Mr. Wiley Rountree, a former citizen of our town, who is now one of Nor folk's most prominent business men I feel already that I know him, and yet I want to meet him. Another Wilsonian who is doing well here, is Joe Batts, who holds a responsible position in the office of the Norfolk & Carolina Railroad. I hear him spoken of by business men here, in terms of highest commenda tion and praise. Just across the river, at Lambert's Point, Charlie Alley, another Wilson boy, holds a position in the office of the Norfolk & Carolina Railroad. He is train dispatcher. He and Joe are climbing and will some day reach the top. None will hear of their success more gladly than I. To-night I was glad to see in the hotel lobby, Mr. Claud L. Whichard an old friend and a boy Pitt county is glad to own as a son. He is employ ed, at a handsome salary, in the of fice of Greenleaf, Johnson & Co., one of the biggest lumber concerns here, as stenographer and private secretary to Mr. Johnson. They own thous ands of acres of timber in Eastern North Carolina enough to last them 9 years. His inends in Fitt will be glad to know that Claud is well and hearty. Madam rumor has it that the charms of a fair member of one of the F. F. V. have lain him at her feet. He promised to invite me to witness the happy event. Dr. Hargrove, a young physician of Tarboro, has located here, and I am glad to learn he is doing well. It makes me feel proud of my native State to see the stand her sons take wherever they go. THE CITY. I believe I promised in the outset to tell you what Norfolk is. The confession must be made that I don't know what it is. I know that it has a census population of 35,454, but the real number is nearer 42,000 Counting Berkley and Portsmouth, connected by ferries, it is 70,000. It is 7 miles long and shows an increase oi 61 cents in property values in the last ten years. It has over 30 churches and a Y. M. C. A. building, with gymnasium, library, etc., which cost four years ago $38,000. It is right in the centre of the leading trucking interests of the United States. Such lands as are near here are priceless not for sale at any price. I have reference to the developed farms of course. Norfolk offers unsurpass ed advantages for the establishment of mechanical industries, large and small. There are already a number here, including two cotton factories, with another in course of organization, the last with a capital of $300,000; shirt factories, basket factories, sash and blind factories, fertilizer factories on a large scale, shoe factories, pub lishing houses, two morning and two evening and numerous weekly pa pers, flouring mills, suspender facto ries, marine railway and repair shops, locomotive works, agricultural imple ment factories, brick yards, one large carriage factory, peanut factories, an extensive coffee resting establishment and other similar enterprises. A large steel plant is in contemplation, designed to employ some five thous and persons. Its lumber trade amounts to $10,000,000 per annum something enormous! Its combined taxes, State and city amounts to $2.- 20 on the $100. It is now ranking as the fourth? cotton port in the United States. It exempts from tax ation the capital invested in manu facturing enterprises and gives free sites to new ones. Its real estate trasfers amounted to $7,000,000 last year. It is the largest peanut market in the world; receiving last year 804, 382 bushel, that being about half the crop of this country. It will expend this year in new buildings about $2, 000,000 and this does not include at least $1,000,000 in building improve ments of the Norfolk and Western and Norfolk and Carolina Railroads. One of the Government Navy yards is located here. By a special act of Congress, Hampton Roads hasj been designated as the naval rendezvous of the world upon the occasion of the Columbian Exposition, which means that all the naval ships of the world will congregate at Norfolk preparatory to a grand naval review and parade. This will be one of the most impor tant historical events of the world, and preparations are being made commensurate with its dignity. And this is about all I know about this place, which I leave to morrow morning for home, having made a pleasant and profitable visit. C. F. W. The Ladies Delighted.

SCROFULA It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes ulcers in the eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can cerous growths, or the many other manifesta tions usually ascribed to "humors;" which, fastening upon the longs, causes consumption and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, f or very few persons are entirely free from it How Can It Be CURED By taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cores it has accomplished, often when other medicines have failed, has proven itself to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you softer from scrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsaparilla. My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof ulous sore neck from the time she was 22 months old till she became six years of age. Lumps formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon's egg, became a running sore for over three years. We gave her Hood's Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely dis appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child." J. S. Carole, Nauright, N. J. N. B.
