Beaufort, -N. C. June
. Beau
a time
fort the Beautiful, bad
yesterday
which will be long and
remembered both by her
pleasantly
citizens and by. the hundreds of visi
tors who gathered within her portals
at her behest The weather was ideal.
In the morning clouds came over the
sky and an ominous wind- arose sug
gestive of a. very-UDpleasaiit day and
the people there were somewhat .down
cast but toward .noon the clouds dis
persed ud with them fled the fear ot
any storm. While tne nipt or tno sun
was fierce the ocean breeze for which
Beaufort is famous fanned peace and
content into the peoploV heartH.
We believe that the size ut Ihe
"Crowds came up to the hosts' expect'
atlon. If there had been loss the citi
zen's might have be n disappointed, if
there had been more thoy coull ii.rt
have handled thorn so successfully.
The people fitnn the' surrounding
towns-came In Urge numbers mostly
by boat.- It shoWe.l that they rejoiced
with Beaufort lo tin cause of this jub
ilation. But the t.ains carried in Uut
most DassenKerH. There were three
trains having an agregate of 36
coaches, and each coach accommodat
ed 100, for there w.ii barely standing
roomjn any. ear. i! the section
wers M cars in c:u-' of the other two
were 11 cars. Th? nil'ltury i-:upanles
filled three cars.
The handling of these In.lus was
admirable and great credit is due l!io
Norfolk & Southern for making travel
so .comfortable to the enormous
crowds that were on board. Thire ri.s
scarcely any delay in tho arrival at
Beaufort with the exception of the
train bearing tin governor and rail
road officials..-The -ivo special cars
were the property of President Oan
aon and Superlhtjntit Magulre A no
table feature was tha tr:Un .from
Washington which wai loaded 'with a
goodly nunfher of handsome men and
fair women of that city. The train
left Washington at 8:15 and reached
New Bern at 10:10 a. m., very; nearly
on schedule time, arriving at ,Beau
fortt 12:35..- This was the first train
carry lag passengers froni Washington.
Immediately upon the arrival of the
train bearing the governor, and when
he was passing in the carriage to the
place assigned, him in the procession
the governor's salute of 13 guns was
given him by Mew Sern Naval Ret
serves gun. The procession was long
and Impressive. It was. led by the
Knights of Pythlaa band, and then fol
lowed the marshals after them car
riages containing' guests of honor and
many cltisens, military- odmpaniea D.
and E. of Goldsboro; B. of Klnston, oJ
of Washington; the New; Bern - and
Beaufory divisions of the naval brig
ade and deteachment of marine from
the Revenue -Cutter .Seminole; . Com
mander C. D. Bradham. . being I Id
charge of the naval mtlltla. The pro
cession ended at the- speaker's stand
where the. exercises were concluded
at the speaker stand at the corner of
Turner and Ann streets. Previous to
the speaking the governor 'and staff
reviewed the . troops, 'in which the
detachment from" the Cutter Seminole,
were the only ones In good form,
passing the reviewing stand at port
arms.;, p :, f. ??h-l " -1
:"vOn' the platform:
; Nowhere else could an idea be form
ed of the' size of " the crowd than
around ' the speaker's stand Oh all
sides the people gathered around, Hat
ened, attentively and were highly edl-
tfleSTry tne words of encouragement and
Inspiration. - On every side the people

deep on the Intersecting streets. The
Knight of Pythias band furnlxhnd the

ciated and .complimented. Mr. N. W.

a' thorough and bualnefls-lika mnnner.
Rev. Fnuolle leilln prayer aftor whli h
Mr. C. L. Ahernnthy welcomed Urn
vlHltors in words of genuine and
honest hospitality. He fnve a hrlcf
hlsiturlrt account of the BcHlcniwit (f
this section; how the I'lfinh p hi; lit
!!:' rt,i)h! ry to f ' ! . i -i; H (,f
burst Into' an eloquent- effusion of
Beaufort as a home town, as a busi
ness town and the reputation the city
enjoyed as a summer and winter re
sort. The development ot her harbor
was another soufee of gratnlatlon Of
which he made special mention. Dur
ing the speech there was a smalll dis
turbance which happily did not result
seriously to any one. -Some people
were standing on the tables construct
ed for the purpose of accommodation
of the people at dinner broke and vsev-
eral were thrown on the ground.
President. Frank S. Gannon, of the
Norfolk ft Southern was then Intro
duced to speak onjthe subject of the
Norfolk ft Southern and Beaufort. "
Mr. Gannon read his address' stating
that he j was better able to build
bridges and railroads than he was to
make speeches and for the sake of be
ing more exact in what he had to say
he begged to be allowed to read his
address. In the course of his re
marks he said that had there been
foresight to know of the stringent
lawsa nd would be enacted by the
legislature It Is doubtful if he would
have had the courage to undertake
this enterprise; notwithstanding that,
the Norfolk ft Southern would not re
sist the reduced rate bill but would
live up to all the requirements 'of the
law as' every good corporation as well
as citizen should do. Railroad man
agement is a. matter of co-operation.
Ther ailroads are not all thieves and
robbers, they have a workt. e accom
plish In the development and improve
ment . of the country through which
they run; they are not meant to op
pose mankind but to help ft although
mankind often felt different He ex
pressed the belief that the people of
eastern Carolina understood and ap
preciated the purposes of the Norfolk
ft Southern road and he, was grateful
to them for their kindly sentiment.
President Gannon was followed by
Governor Glenn whose address "The
Material Resources and our Duty In
their Development" was as' alL. his
speeches are, a splendid oratorical ef
fort His remarks were to Inspire in
dustry and interest in the affairs
which tend to uplift this section and
to show how this state is assuming
the lead In manufacturing's well 9s
agricultural matter. No railroad was
more entitled to the love of the peoplf
than the old Atlantic and North Caro
lina or the Norfolk ft Southern. The
prosperity which it was enjoying as
well earned and it has won a high
rank in railroad achievements of the
state. He referred to thesplendld
prosperity the state is enjoying and
howl t is rising in- the scale of indus
try and making for Itself - name
which will be renowned over all the
world. ;
After hi speech a salute was fired
and Mr. Abernethy on the behalf of
some ladles presented him with two
large and , beautiful bouquets.
. Senator' Simmons was the next
speaker and' his subject was the "Re
lations of Railroad vConstrutclon to
the Development of Beaufort Harbor .'J
The senator showed how the harbor
was geographically and practically the
l-best located of any harbor on, the
coast; how it will be made a popular
and necessary place for ships to an
chor and. how- the appropriation re
cently made will be1 used in making It
a fit place to .anchor In. He referred
to the untiring efforts of-Congressmen
Thomas and, Small. and expressed.' a
hope that the? dream of Beaufort . in
being a seaport which shall have no
equal on 'the coaat;.
-The dinner was, announced at. the
close of the senator's speech and at
no time did -Beaufort's hospitality and
free handedness In the dinner that was
furnished the multitude. It was the
old fashioned barbecue of which ', so
many-are fond and it. was eagerly de
voured,'; The , crowd,- wasv entertained

Hew' Acreage, Prespeets and Prices
"J, Look te I. E. Latham. "
Special" to Journal. ?
GreensboroH June 8. Reports from
the Financial ChronlcTe.and the Agri
cultural Bureau-have been published
this week,: and show conditions the
lowest of any June on record. The
government 'admits that the acreage
report of last year was too-low, nearly
3,500,000 acresnd gives the area this
year at 32,060,000 acres. The cotton
trade of the world has been thorough
ly aroused, and alarmed, and the mar
kets nave been feverish and hysterical,
with large transactions, and wide fluc
tuations. t
Speculation also, has taken a firm
hold, as it always does on such occa
sions, and jnany people have bought
cotton at 12 cents per 100 who could
see no merit in buying at 3 cents per
100 cheaper. The cotton goods trade
continues in excellent shape, and a
pretty full crop is needed, but the
ehances of making a bountiful supply
have been materially lessened by the
unseasonable weather ot April and
May. The recent weather, however,
has been good, but It will take more
than a few days for the stunted plant
to recover enough, to cause cheerful
crop reports. In the meantime, specu
lation is arrayed on the hulls" 'side,
and possible prospects, are given pref
erence, and "wide spread publication,
continued activity and. broad fluctua
tion may be expected tor a long time.
On merit, cotton seems to be high
enough at present to -.discount the
known facts. If good weather con
tinues . it will bring a severe test to
the .world's speculative markets, which
by comparison are now high and so
far as my knowledge extends, a single
100 bales of Bhort interest, does not
exist
