The Editor's Outing.
What One Sees, Learns and Enjoys by Getting
Away from Home.
The only drawback to the com
plete enjoyment of our recent
outing was the unexpected ill-
ne.ss of Chas. A. Miner, at whose
home in Petersburg our frater
nal reunion was to occur. A tel-
e^^ram had been sent to Brevard
from Washinf?ton notifyin^^ us of
this sudden attack of chills and
fever, but by some telegraphic
hocus pocus when it arrived here
it was addressed to Chas. A.
Miner instead of bearing his sig
nature and oeing addressed to
the News editor—and was never
delivered. While there isn't any
thing very serious in an attack of
chills, it is just serious enough to
shake all the pleasures out of life
and make a man hate himself and
all his kinfolks. Some of the
most enjoyable features of our
entertainment had to be aband
oned on this account.
Among our anticiimted ])leas
ures which did not materialize
was a launch ride from Peters
burg to City Point at the junc
tion of the Appomattox with the
James, with perhaps a continua
tion of the ride to Norfolk. The
launch was kindly placed at our
disposal, but both brother I. D.
and myself were strangers and
without a chaperone we conclud
ed that a visit to this old war
time landmark would not be en
joyable. In lieu of this we ac
cepted trolley tickets and visited
[he capital of the Southern Con
fed racy.
RICHMOND.
The hand of time has done
much to make this one of the
h*ading cities of the south. It
has l)een modernized in many
wjiys—the buildings on many of
its streets are strictly up-to date
and its business men have the
business acumen w’hich secures
and holds their customers. As
we had a tritle of business with
the Richmond Paper Manufactur
ing Company it was only natural
that we should make their place
of business our tirst concern.
Having made inquiries of them
as to what could be seen in half a
day they started us by a visit to
one of their paper mills. This
was interesting to us but might
not be to our readers.
The State House grounds are
noted the world over as contain
ing the best equestrian statue of
Washington that was ever made.
The base for this statue and the
revolutionary incidents it com
memorates is a study that re
quires more than the hour that
we devoted to it. The grounds
were partially fenced from visit
ors for making repairs, but
enough w’ere open to prove that
these are no mean competitor of
the capitol grounds at Wash
ington.
Richmond is full of war relics
—the Confederate Museum con
taining many things of interest
to a soldier w^ho fought on either
side.
Hollywood cemetery w’hich con
tains a Qtatue of Jeff Davis be
sides monuments to two presi
dents of the United States who
were buried there, is full of in
terest to every visitor. It is well
kept, is beautified with ilow’ers
and evergreens, and is well worth
a visit.
We took in the terminal attrac
tions of the street car lines near
the resorvoir which sup])lies
Richmond with water. The
Street Car Company have inaug
urated every device tt) attract
people to its terminus—a lagoon
with vapor launches and num
berless row boats, picnic grounds
as beautiful as sunshine and
sliade can make them, merry go-
rounds. dance halls, gypsy camps
and every known device to tempt
people there and incidentally to
induce them to part with their
cash. The greatest drawback we
noted was the absence of the pure
si)arkling si)rings of cold water
which we have here in abund
ance.
But we couldn't see all of
Richmond in one afternoon. In
18t)i’ we stood picket within 4
miles of Richmond where its tall
est s[)ires could be seen ev^ery
day. at Mechanicsville. Natur
ally we were anxious to tind out
what street car line went there
or nearest there so w’e asked the
conductor of each car we rode on
but none of them ever heard of
Mectanicsville. Tiiis gave us
the idea that the Street Car
Company employs its conductors
from the country, and later con
versations proved our theory
correct.
Richmond is the tirst city in
which we saw tiie electric arc
light covered with a mantle. It
was a new proposition to us and
we tried to get information from
the electric light office but it was
night and only a book keeper was
on duty. In Washington City
the arch lights are f>f the same
description, so w’e believe that it
is a better light in some respects
than the open arc. As Brevard
is just now agitating the light
question we hope that those in
terested will investigate and give
us the most modern appliances.
There are very many attrac
tions in Richmond that we did
not see but hope to at some future
time. The streets are clean,
neat and attractive, the busi
ness men are hustlers, and it is
barely possible that the infusion
of yankee blood and yankee mon
ey after the war are responsible
for much of its improvements.
Manchester, just across the
James river is as old as Peters
burg, and is as old looking as
as Alexandria, across the Potom
ac from Washington.
The James river at Richmond
is a series of shoals and little wier
dams to conduct the water into
races at different altitudes is all
that is required in order to have
water power. It looks to a cas
ual observer as if the water was
used a dozen times before it
reaches the head of navigation at
the lower end of tow’n.

Maybe the Japanese Battleship
Mikasa took that way of express
ing its dissatisfaction of the peace
terms.
Mr. Rockafeller succeeded be
cause he had ])atience and cour
age. Also because he had a
“cinch. ”
If his friendly spirit for the
press continues Mr. Rockafeller
may yet invite Miss Tarbell to a
game of golf.
“Dow^n with graft” would make
a ringing Democratic slogan and
“Tariff for revenue only” would
make a winner.
If President Roosevelt can
show’ Japan how to make peace

The Press Humorists will hold
a convention in Philadelphia next

Considering the advance in

It is hardly possible that there

There are chorus girls in plenty.
There is only a shortage in girls

The crop of Presidential candi

that a great many of them must
go to seed before the nominating
time comes around.
Gov. Pennypacker, of Pennsyl
vania says, “reformers in poli
tics are a disturbing element.”
There are a lot of things in poli
tics like Pennypacker that need
disturbing.
Secretary Bonaparte recently
got lost in Boston, and had to be
directed to his hotel. If we had
to be in Boston it would not make
any difference w’hether we were
lost or not.
Both Jim Hill and Jack Rock
afeller insist that the opportuni
ties for young men never before
were so great as at present.
That may be true, but as we un

about as many life insurance
companies in this country as we
need.
Wall street reports that th«i

Some ])eople in the United

Isn't it about time for some ac

Hall Caine is going to write a

Some of the Ohio Republicans

It is discovered that M. Witte

The United States and Russia are

A Western cowboy rode 2.000

A man with that much determiu-

The better element of Pennsyl

So there were some decent re

“As much more corn has been

The N. Y. Sun explains that

Mr. Bryan declared that a syn

and other large financial concerns
brought about his defeat in 1890.
Mr. Bryan's declaration was
scouted by the re{)ublicans at the
time. The New York Life inves

Bryan spoke the truth.
