By Fred A. 01d to Charlotte Observer.
One ot the events of the iw w
train passed by
-Camp Glenn," where many men were
putting ; the finishing touches ' on
buildings for the use ot the troops,
and a little later the long bridge which
gives, entrance" to old Beaufort was
crossed and into the quaint town the
! train moved slowly, then stopped, and
the Raleigh children nas come w u. muto boys and girls Clustered
the annual outing ot the "Sunshin- .tatton. renewed old
e" to Beaufort There to a personal new on8B wltn
element to this trip wn.cn ";jout 70ung8ter. Down the shaded
out ot the ordinary and the cause tor carters, the
elms arching overhead, and the strong
sea-breexe keeping everything in a
rustle. It took , hut a little while to
make the girls at home in their fine
quarters on the second floor of the Ma-,
sonic Hall. This had been used tor a
nchnnl and the writer had had it
thoroughly disinfected and cleansed so
that it was as neat as a pin. The same
thing 'had been done to the boys'
quarters, the armory of the naval re
serves, a block away, and immediate
ly upon the waterside. The Sunshiners'
this 1 obvious. It is because the
trip Is one which by reason of special
care is made so cheap that poor child,
ren, who otherwise would never get
even a glimpse of the sea, are enabled
to see it for ten days for $10. Now
this sort of an affair need not be pe
culiar to Raleigh at all. Any gentle
man In Charlottee, for example, can
take fifty or a hundred boys and girls
to the coast and give them such an
outing at no greater cost. All that is
needed is a little energy and tact and
care In making arrangements .There
is no reason why Beaufort, for in
stance, should not be full ot child
ren for ten day periods all the sum
mer long. It the Raleigh children who
have been there would be parade4,
with their well-tanned faces and arms,
and every sign of perfect health, In
any community, it would bes aroused
to the fact that it could do some
thing of this sortf or its own young
sters. To my. mind such a trip Is
worth a month in any school. It is
broadening;; it is full of instruc.
tion and it brings about a comrade
ship among children greater than that
which even school life can engendejjJ
and Muite beyond any other sort ot
nssntiation. -To be sure there must
primarily be organization and it
"Sunshiners" take this up it will be
bound that money will come in to
help the poorer children to have such
pleasures and it will be found that
sucu an organization will be very apt
to make itself felt in school work too.
We do not know enough about our
own state and so travel and stay at
the proper places is of the highest
benefit.
.The Start.
There is nothing quite so fine as
the sense of comradeship, and second
to this comes that of ownership, and
so when the Raleigh Sunshiners, 67
-strong, boarded the train a little after
4 o'clock on the morning of July 4th,
and occupied their two comfortable
special cars, their own boys. having
loaded the cots and other property,
they felt as if the world were theirs,
the train their very own and every
thing they saw through all the fair
country between Raleigh and the sea
set out for their special delectation.
There was the personal touch in it
all and the "veterans," for some of
them were going on their fourth trip,
a lot on their third'and more still on
their second, were able to be of great
service to the youngsters who were
getting their first experience. Children
are far more observant than older
people think they are. They have quick
eyes and they absorb things, and they
took in the panorama from the train
windows, as one child put it, "flatten
out" and looked back at the linet, as
straight as a ruler, through a coun
try which seemed as level as a floor.
They saw the Eplendid crops, and th3
dark soil, which they were told was
very like the prairie country. They
saw the difference in ripening time bt
crops in the extreme east and at Kal
ita course. Soon It, U to come down
and a modern tort, vasQy different In
every waybill take Us place, for
Beaufort Is to be fortified as the
southern entrance for the, great In
land waterway work on which Is soon
to begin. In other .words the dream
ot many long year la about to come
a reality , and Hatters win have no
more ot terror for small craft
; Special Stents.
One ot the main causes of the con
tinued success of the" Sunshiners Is
the tact that they always try to do
some special "stunts" and to pull these
events oft in the beat style. The crui
ser Pararte, which used to be one of
the best ocean liners, a passenger ship,
the St Paul, and which the United
States took over In 1898, when the
war with Spain began, had come to
Beaufort to take out the North Caro
line naval militia. . She draws 25
feet and so could not. enter the har
bor, there being only about 18 feet
of water on the bar. She could not
come to us but we. could go to her
ind so one glorious morning, in our
two boats, the ' Bessie Hellen" and
the' "Net Bettie," we sailed out as
special escort to the four boats which
took the naval militia to the Prairie.

elgh; this being very striking Indeed, gressman Crawford, of the Tenth dis.
They saw flowers in the vast stretches
of savanahs which they had never
seen before; inky black streams, bor
dered by meathery cypress and junpier
trees which gave the water their color.
In these early morning journeys there
is a thrill which never comes to those
who lie late a bed: The air has a
sweetness and a silenoe all its own
'and we saw from the windows on one
side the big moon, getting dimmer
and dimmer, almost upon the horizon
while the eastward the blooded
sun came up, looming large and in
strange contrast to the paleness of the
other orb. Ono girl said the sun and
the moon were balanced in the sky,
like two children on a sea?saw, and
. that the world was the see-saw. A
strange fancy this, but yet a striking
one.
Delighted With Water.
Many of the children had never
seen any stream of water larger than
Neuse river here and a mill pond em;
braced their Idea of a watery expanse,
: and so when New Bern was reached
there was delight at , the sight . of
steamers, sailboats, ; the Trent , river
and the Neuse, but this , was as noth
ing when' wi j began to' run - along
Bogue, sound and the children saw the
capping waves and. the faraway out
line of the great banks which screen
the sea from the sound -and they' drew
; Into eager lungs the tang of the seal

tho spirit of our work and heard the
3fories I told the children about Beau
fort and its history; of how the Span
iards, who laid calm to this coast
were whipped in the harbor and a
number killed or captured and also
the story of the capture by the fed
eral troops of Fort Macon. On this old

picnics. Some years ago a Mr. Lechler,
a millionaire from New York, of
sporting proclivities, bought it and
spent a great deal of money in the

and developed a wonderful farm. His
passion was baseball and his employes
were required to be baseball pleayers
and so he had two nines and could
