Jrt'f.lrmtrjr Celebration of i4:
- Historic Event 1 W Ociijv'
3-cm soon. f::T
The four gateways to Roanoke Islanl,
when it It proposed to Celebrate la ap
propriate form the historic events con
nected with Sir Walter Rslelg Vt efforts
at colonization more than four hundred
years ago are, Elizabeth City;' Edenton ,
Washington and New Bern. From tome
one of these in onr State each visitor
must embark for the Island. And, for
tunately these towns afford ample facil
ities, so that there need be no monopoly
at any one ef them though It Is aald
that already then is manifest a disposi
tion to want to 'monopolize the "way,"
bat happily then is no opportunity for
such a plan, as each of these fine towns
has advantages to offer, once the celebra
tion to under way.
The enterprise of Elizabeth City will
no doubt see to it that commodious
steamers make dally trips to and from
the Island, and the hospitality of that
goodly town will be equal to any de
mands made upon it. Col. Croecy, that
dear old father in newspaperdom will
vouch for his city.
Certainly no less will be expected of
historic old Edenton; the town itself.
with its traditions, buildings and people
all associated with the early history of
the Old North State, will find that hun
dreds of visitors will make that delight
ful town a gateway to the celebration.
They will provide jaunty, spick and
span steamers to transport the throngs
who will journey their way. Both towns
will show to the world the beauties of
the Albemarle Sound.
Those visitors who make Washington,
Beaufort Co., their gateway, will ex
plore Pamlico river and Pamlico sound.
Buch steamers as the wideawake Wash.
Ingtoaians will provide, will be sure to
please the public This promises to be
one of the busiest of the "ways", as her
railway facilities are good and her su
perb passenger steamers will have many
landings to make down the riyer.
New Bern, that beautiful town at the
confluence of the Neuae and Trent rivers
will also be one of the popular '.'ways"
for visitors to the Island. She already
has a line of comfortable steamers which
make regular landings at "Skyoo" the
port of entry to our historic Island. But
these will be added to and the old steam
ers painted and scrubbed and made as
bright as a dollar for the great event.
These New Bern boats will explore
the whole length of Pamlico sound In
finding the meooa of Its visitors; in fact,
each of these interesting eastern towns
has advantages peculiar to Itself, and the
enterprise of each may be depended upon
for making the most of Its special fee-
tares, regardless of Its neighbors.
Among the advantages which the

sound region will reap from the celebra
tion, will be In 'creating a' tUmulus' to
the banding of the great Inland h water
way from Wilmington to New Tork.i by
the U. S. Government I This would ! af
ford an Inland, or land protected water
way for moving either the nary of com
merce between the points Indicated, and
would be Of incalcuable valae. to our
country In time of war with any foreign
power; or when storms rage In the open
It might also bring about the finishing
of tome of the projected Knee of railroad
in that region, at well at , itlmnlate the
opening of' other steamboat lines. It
would bring a the attention of the
World; the great advantage of toil for
profitable bracking; of the. water for
profitable fishing and of the forest for
profitable . lumbering. The cheapness
and ease with which H'e may be sus
tained In that region will be sure to at
tract the attention of the home seeker,
and the possibilities above enumerated
will attract the Investor, the farmer, the
fisherman, the lumbermen and the ow
ner of fruita, vegetables and fish. These
are, briefly, some of the advantage! to
be gained by the residents of the sound
nglon from the proposed celebration.
Then is some confusion among our
people in regard to the "exposition"
feature It will not be an exposition in
the ordinary sense, at all. In the build
lng called a museum will be shown his
toric objects, replicas of Incidents and
events in the history of the colonies
planted there, and pageants of the tame
character will be shown in the open air.
Then will also be In the museum, cos.
tumes, arms, wares, etc of the time; on
the shores of Roanoke Island there will
be a camp of Indians In tepees, engaged
In the ordinary occupations of Indians
making baskets, blankets, bows and ar
rows end the like, just as wen found
four hundred years ago by Amanas and
Barlowe. These will be studied and pre
pared to form that part of the celebra
tion which will appeal to the eye; while
a great literary feast will be spread dally
before the visitor, consisting of lectures,
ontlons, sketches, etc These features
show at a glance the character of the
celebration and will, by their novelty,
prove of great Interest to all visitors.
