CREW OF THE U. S. S. HORNET.
Two Members of the Wilmington Division
Back by Rail The Experience.
Messrs. E. M. Brogden and Robert
Sailers, members of the Wilmington
Division, Naval Reserves, who were
among the crew of the Hornet on its
eventful voyage around to Charleston
on Monday, returned to the city yes
terday afternoon and gave a graphic
description of the Brigade's adventures
at sea.
Mr. Brogden sayn he was glad to get
back to Wilmington by rail and thinks
he is fully concurred with in f that
opinion by nearly all the others who
were aboard the ship during the try
ing experience Monday. Many of the
crew, he says, gave up hope of ever
seeing land again and that prayer
meeting on deck, although held
by an ex-Congressman, was not
a joke, xne boys looked square
ly for drowning at any moment
for several hours and were in a mood
to prepare fully for the worst. Tne
experience in the hold was something
"frightf ul,"'and only the most manda
tory orders of the officers kept the
men there-JTatar was knee deep.
steam was escaping, coal was floating
all over the bottom, and, with brand
new white uniforms, the boys were in
a pitiable looking condition when
they finally got the vessel baled out
and came up on deck. Captain Old,
Mr. Brogden says, was cool through
out the entire experience and did much
to encourage the men, if auch a thing
had been possible.

to the city and hope that his team will
bring the rag over on this const at the
end of the series this season.
Yesterday Manager Bear secured

EXPOSITION TRAVEL.
Coast Line is Handling Extreme
ly Large Crowds for Char
leston's Big Show.
THIS MORNING'S TRAIN.
It Will Take Man Wilalsrtoalaas
to
Ivory City Oar Soldiers sad Citl
tens Esjay lag Themselves--! his
i Oor4)ay Other Notes.
The Atlantic' Coist Line is certainly
doing its full share of business in
taking the people to the Charleston
Exposition for North Carolina Week.
All southbound trains since Monday
from Wilmington have been . laden
with people bound for the "big show"
and this morning's train at 6 o'clock
bids fair to break all records. Every
other person one met yesterday on the
streets said they were arranging to go
to-day. The $3 rate for the round
trip Is now in effect and Will continue
until to-morrow morning. Tiekets
thus purchased will be good for return
until Saturday night
The train this morning will no
doubt be crowded and most of the
passengers will likely be from Wil
mington. With its customary pre
paration for an emergency the Coast
Line has provided five extra coaches
for the 6 o'clock train, and at the ex
tremely low rate offered, every one of
them should go into Charleston with
''atanrline vaaim nnl '7
Persons who came on the midnight
train from the Ivory City say that
many familiar faces are seen on the
mid way and our soldier boys and sailors
are acquitting themselves proudly.
They are having a good time, too, and
will doubtless remain with their ranks
almost intact during the North Caro
lina Week limit.
The train which left Wilmington
yrslerday morning in charge of the
clever CapL Charlie Gaaaue, carried
a good crowd and brought back few
this morning, which is a pretty good
cue that the Exposition is a good thing
to tie to. The few incoming passen
gers say they never 1 before saw so
many people together as were on the
Exposition grounds yesterday and
all of them speak enthusiastically of
the glimpse they got of the President.
Speaking of tne crowds Tuesday,
when the rush had hardly com
menced, the Florence Times, says:
"Last night train 23 was run in two
sections. The crowds could not
otherwise be accommodated. On the
first train there was the regular travel.
augmented by hundreds of folk from
all over North Carolina. The second
train carried four full companies of
State militia. The soldiers, or most of
them, took lunch here and the depot
platform was alive with the 'blue.'
"Travel through Florence this morn
ing was heavier than it has been since
the great fair in the City by the Sea
started. It is estimated that the two
sections of the local passenger train
carried 1,300 people. The first section
was msde a 13-car special and run
straight through to Charleston. Oa
this train the Welch Meek High
School cadets were much in evidence.
The second section, which was the
regular train, consisted of 8 coaches.
'Not only North Carolinians went
to Charleston to-day. Scores of people
from along the W. U & &, and U. S
D. roads boarded tte outgoing
Cnarleaton train here. One hundred
and forty-two fares were sold to Flor
entines, and there will be numbers of
others to-night."
Crowds Again Last Night.
"Last night the two sections of the
Atlantic Coast Line south-bound train
33 carried to Charleston 800 people.
and the great majority of them were
North Carolinians. The dining room
at the depot was overrun, there were
so many hungry people clamoring for
inward satisfaction. Manager uapene
and his efficient force met the emer
gency well and turned few away."
THE TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT.
Soecnlatloo As to Officials for Qreater
Atlantic Const Line.
Confirmatory to the suggestions
contained in these columns sev
eral days ago as to the probable traffic
management of tbe "greater" Coast
Line system, the following New York
dispatch will be read with interest:
"New York. April 8. It is stated
that tne Atlantic Coast Line has near-
lv com Dieted : arrangements to take
over tbe Plant System in July, and
also that the traffic organisation nas
been decided on as follows:
'Vice president in charge of traffic.
T. M- Emerson: freight traffic mana
ger. EL M. Emerson: passenger traffic
manager. Colonel Beverly W.Wrenn;
general freight agent, D. F. Jack; gen-:
eral passenger agent, uraeat wuiiams.j
These men will assume to eir duties
when tbe Plant system becomes a pari
of tbe Atlantic Coast Line.
"Other plans to take over Plant
System are going on secretly, but it is
announced that tney will ahortly be;
made known."

Georgia Peach Crops.
The peach crop in Southwest Geor

the heavy rains that preceded and
have followed it. The treen in the

will be large and the fruit of good
