Completion of the Seacoaat Railway Addrvtaea by the President and Others. Saturday, the 16th" day of June,'88 will "ever be looked upon as the date of the completion of one.pf Wilmington's greatest and most sub stantial enterprises, for on that day a line of railroad connecting the ocean and the mountains was finish ed ami turned over to the- Directors for operation. ST - At 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon the special train, advertised to take thu Board of Directors and their families and invited guests to the Hummocks pulled out of Front Street Depot, and twerity minutes later landed its passengers safely on the Hummocks at Wrightsville. At about 5 o'clock Mr. W. II. Chadbourn, the contractor, stepped forth, his countenance beaming with pride and enthusiasm, and addressed the Board of Directors in the follow ing happy manner: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Hoard of Directors of the Wilming ton Scaeoant llailroad . It now becomes my pleasant duty, as one of the contractors, to turn over to you this completed railroad; but before doing so, I wish to say jut a word : It was early in March when the final contract was made with us, and but few even of the most san guine thought it could be finished before the first of August, while very many contended that we could not complete it in time for any travel this season. Yet, in less than one hundred working days, on June 10th, your road is ready for opera tion, although it . has a mile and a quarter of heavy trestling in it. And now, Mr. President and gentlemen of the Board of Directors, we as contractors, wish in this pub lic manner to acknowledge that but for your valuable time, counsel and advice, which we have so frequently sought and which you have so cheerfully given, it would have been an impossibility for us to have so succeeded. . 1 have said the road was-completed. Yet one thing is lacking a single spike and all is done. May this spike in its purity and value be symbolic of the future of this little road. Mr.President, I leave the honor of driving this silver-spike to you. Mr. Latimer, the President of the road, upou receiving the silver spike from Mr. Chadbourn, re sponded in the following eloquent and appropriate remarks; Ladies and Gentlemen: Those of you who can recall the ever gener- ous ana onen-nearieu iiospuauty offered to visitors at the Sound will. I know, rejoice that by means of this road, its healthful pleasures and innocent recreations can now be enjoyed by so milch larger a number of those who, in this age of ceaseless eltort and never ending struggle, surely need a place like this where they may rest their tired muscles and cool their heated brows. By a wise dispensation of Provi dence such struggles aud efforts are necessary, not only to earn the right to rest from our labors, but also to provide a place in which to enjov such well earned rest. It is then to the ceaseless efforts aud unfailing courage of the direc tors and subscribers of the Wil mington Seacoast llailroad Com pany that we owe the opening of so fitting a resort as this in which to spend a quiet season, free from the cares and worries of our work -day life, and to breathe with never end ing delight the life-giving breezes which llow from the bosom of the ocean. I say that it is to the enterprise and courage of these gentlemen that we owe the .building of this railroad and the establishment of this resort, since it did indeed re quire, some courage to undertake and carry out this work.. " For who, a few short years ago. would have believed that the shun ned and despised Hummock, the resort of the solitary heron, and the breeding place of pestiferous in sects, could be made to become so charming a place us it Is now seen to oei Firm, however, in their convic tions, iu the skill and untiring en ergy of the Messrs. Chadbourn yas found the way to carry out their ideas, and I am more than proud and honored to stand before you to day as the embodied will of these gentlemen. Proud, because this is so essen tially a home enternrise. conceived and carried out by local judgment, energy and capital; and honored, by the confidence reposed in me by such men. But, my friends, while you may sincerely wish that these gentlemen t - i. !tL f gress and improvement. Who, among us, if, after the toils of the day are over, he would but take a Daily Iifcvipw of our city, should fail to see that our- Morning Star is now rising or that a tireless Messen ger is proclaiming tothe world the daily record of Wilmington's advancement.- . . The busy hum of enterprise and progress is now heard with equal distinctness along the banks of the Cape Fear, as" on the slopes or the Yadkin Valley, and the fertile fields of Carolina Central will never be too numerous "to supply the ever crowing: business of our Atlantic Coast Line. . .... . . r A.ud now, ladies and gentlemen, you will I Knpw join me, in wishing t but this slver spike may rivet the missing hTik in that- great; chain, which should ever bind pur Eastern shores to the fertile plains of our midland counties, and the majestic mountaius of our West, forming as. one great and harmonious whole,' the glorious old State of North Car olina . " At the. conclusion of President Latimer's speech the Cornet' Con cert Club rendered the "Old North State" in such a masterly style as to cause the assembly to join in and sing the -chorus in a regular "Old North Carolina way. 11 Hon. George Davis was then called upon and ad dressed the crowd in an exceedingly interesting and historic sketch of Wilmington in its earlier days. Mr. Davis paid a glowing tribute to the jndetnitable pluck and energy which has always ' characterized her citi- zens, as wnen ner sons mer-. aim agreed to build a railroad to Ral eigh, they actually subscribed more thai) three times the amount of her taxable property" to the enterprise, aud when the news came that Ral. eigh would subscribe nothing they determined not to connect with that city, but to build ope hundred miles more of road and connect withWel dn. To-day the result of that un dertaking is a mighty factor in one of the greatest lines of traffic in the world. He also said that there were advantages and disadvantages in all things; that the 'great ocean " was dotted here and there with the sails of vessels of commerce which could no longer plough the majestic-waters of Banks Channel; because the Seacoast Railway had built a bridge across it with a twenty foot draw instead of a forty foot draw. 44Still," he went on, "there is consolation in most things and the consolation to be derived from the twenty foot draw is that there is no danger of men-of-war of a hostile nation com ing in at the Bank's Channel and bombarding the front doors of the residents of Wrightsville." . At the conclusion of Mr. Davis' remarks the band played and Mr. Wm. Latimer, President of the road, swung the sledge and missed the spike. With the'remark that he was not accustomed to driving spikes, Mr. Latimer again went for that spike and drove it up to its head with a few well-directe J blows. After the silver spike had been driven. Hon. - A. M. Waddell was called for by the crowd. ' Col.; Wad dell responded in his usual happy manner, warning spoony-young couples to lookout for green snakes and other pestiferous insects, which he had been informed by a gentle man not addicted to"seeiug snakes,"' abounded on the ' Hummocks. He closed his remarks with the regret that President Latimer had driven the silver spike home so isecu rely that he was unable to take it away. Altogether the occasion' was one of the most delightful that was ever know in the history of our city an"d the fact that the - iarge train could not accommodate all at one time and that some of the excursion ists did not get back to the city until after 10 o'clock did not in realitv detract from the pleasures of the day. .Everybody was in a, good humor and in high spirits and all voted the occasion .4 u. splendid success.
