BELT LINEBY WATER
Novel Plan for Getting to Jamestown
Exposition and Seeing the Sights
Around Hampton Bonds at
the Same Time.
Norfolk, Va., April 24 .Something
new under the sun is the Water Belt
Line that has just been projected
as a means of transportation between
the Jamestown exposition grounds
and the several cities and points of
interest around Hampton Roads and
Tidewater Virginia. The "Belt Line"
on land, by steam or trolley cars, is
a familiar Institution in many cities,
but here for the first time has been
organized a water belt line, boats in
stead of cars being used.
Splendid observation steamers will
be run on this novel route. Each
steamer will carry about 1,500 pas
sengers without crowding. A regular
schedule of trips wil be made, the
boats starting from Campbell's wharf
In Norfolk, touching at Portsmouth,
the Norfolk navy yard, Newport News,
Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe
and other historic points en route,
and completing the one-way trip at a
fine pier to be built out into the
waters of Hampton Roads directly in
front of the exposition site. Boats
will run every lf minutes. A unique
and valuable feature of the plan4e to
issue coupon tickets on these trips,
giving the passenger the privilege of
disembarking at any or all of the stop
ping places mentioned and taking the
next boat or any boat laler in the day.
This will give opportunity for seeing
all the sights. The round trip to the
exposition in this manner will be full
of Incidents. These water belt line
trips are to he in no sense on the
order of the average "cheap excur
sion" where the riff-raff and bob-tail
of humanity usually take possession
of the boat, on the contrary, they will
appeal to the best class of people, no
liquors being sold aboard and no row
dyism being permitted.
Besides the regular trips, the com
pany is planning to have numerous
excursions to such places as .lames
town Island, Vorktown and other
points, of historic interest in and.
around Tidewater, Vlrgnla.
At Yorktown, where Lord Cornwal
lis surrendered to George Washing
ton, is a beautiful monument erected
by the government to commemorate
the great victory. There stands the
first custom house ever opened in the
United States. The ruins of the old
church built in 1660 are still to be
seen.
Of equal interest is the trf p up the
James river, on the way to Richmond
to Jamestown Island, where the first
permanent English settlement was
made. Here can be seen the ruined
church tower and the old graveyard
with its historic tombs and inscrip
tions. The peninsula between the
James and the York rivers has been
the scene of more bloody conflicts
than have occurred on any territory
of similar size In the' new world.
1607.1907.
Three hundred years of American
progress Is typified by the Jamestown
exposition now on at Norfolk, Va.
Hampton Roads is historic ground.
The exposition is a splendid creation
of architectural design and natural
beauty. The New York Sunday World
has hud a series of exposition paint
ings made and will give a plate paper
reproduction of one painting each
week. These pictures are fine art
supplements, 10x15 Inches, and suit
able for framing or otherwise pre
serving.
Cotton Crop 1907 Too Small.

be a deficit of 825,000 bales.
The Origin of a Great Invention.
Writing of the career of George
Westinghouse In the May Everybody"s,
Paul Latzke says that the Idea of this
air-brake was suggested to the Inven
tor, when little more than a boy, In
the following fashion:
"On one of the dally trips of young
Westinghouse from Schenectady to the
foundry at Troy, his train was held up
by a bad 'wreck. Two freights had
come together In a head-on-collision
on a piece of straight track. The engl
neers had" seen the danger plainly, but
by the time the handbrakes were
brought Into play It was too late. The
young man allowed these facts to sink
Into his mind. Then he said to one of
the train hands:
'. " 'If the engineers had been able to
control their trains from the cab, the
wreck could have been prevented,
couldn't itr
"Control "em how r .
"Brake them.'
" 'Yes. - They"d-had lots of time.'
"That was enough. The air-brake-

flowers and a profusion of Jugs of all
nations' adorned the walls and ceiling
but predominant over all was "old
glory." Ladies graced the occasion
with their prusence and added beauty
and brilliancy of the affair. The band
furnished the music and too much can
not be suid in praise of their ability.

shown by the hearty applause.
Mr. Dawson presided at the table
and before the eating began an
nounced the address of welcome by
Mr. S. M. Brinson who gave the visi
tors the glad hand, figuratively speak
ing, and the response was made by
Mr. Barry, of the Kinston lodge. Bles
sing was Invoked by Mr. Y. T. Ormond
of Kinston.
The bill of fare was most elaborate
and appetizing and spoke volumes for
culinary and managing ability of Mrs
Hammond. During the supper Mr. L
I. Moore responded to the toast "The
Ladies." Mr. Abernathy of Beaufort
was on the program for this toast but
was detained elsewhere by profession
al duties
The event was one which will linger
long n the memories of all present as a

UNITED STATES COURT.
Important Case on Blocking Navigable
Waters. Sentences Passed on
Prisoners.
The case of greatest importance yes-
terday, in the United States court, was
that against the John L. Roper Lum-
ber Co. for obstructing navigation.
There were a number of witnesses
for the Roper Company, who testified
that the waters of the creek, over
which the case involved, had never
been considered navigable. The bridge
built by the lumber company, was
over a little creek known as Sandy
Husk, a tributary to Adams Creek, in
Carteret county. The bridge was used
as a tramway for log hauling cars,
and besides a small foot passageway.
After beiug out five hours the jury
ought in a verdict of not guilty.
The case of J. J. Rogers vs. Pacific
Mutual Life Insurance company, in
the circuit court was ordered remov
ed to the circuit court at Raleigh.
The other cases were: United States
s. Peter Kornegay, for retailing
ithout license, verdict of 30 days in
jail, fine of $100, and costs.
United States vs. Chas. Winn, re
tailing without license, 30 days in
jail, fine $100 and costs.
United States vs. George Pusser, a
ury trial, the sentence was 30 days,
100 fine and costs.
United States vs. Jonas Houston, of
Jones county, for illicit distilling.
Houpston plead guilty. An unusual cir
cumstance in this case was a petition
received from Jones county, signed
by some 40 citizens, praying the court
to give the prisoner the full limit of
the law. The sentence was 2 years in
Atlanta penitentiary, and $500 fine and
costs. The court adjourned to 10 a.
m. today.
A case of interest likely to be heard
today, is that of the Eureka Lumber
Company, for obstructing navigation.

Peas at $7 Per Basket.
Nothing is so much in evidence, as
high prices when any crop is short.
Truckers see this, and often see the
reverse, big crop and no price for It.
The present season is late. Peas and
beans ought to be moving, instead of
being In the ground. People with lit
tle else but money are clamoring for
'green stuff" that comes out of the
ground. They do not want t so much
as to go Into the fields and eat It, in Its
natural state, but put It in the market,
and "greens" is money.
As an Instance showng the value of
peas at this time, a local shipper has
a letter from New York city, from
merchant there, saying he had just re
ceived 27 baskets of peas, and had sold
therm for $7 per basket. Think of
having a few hundred baskets to sell
at that price! It is enough to give the
average trucker nervous prostration.
