THEY WE'RE PLEASED.
A Durham "a. c. Committee Visits New

~ w. NJ s'shb %No"-
port News-Tbeir Impression.
A short time ago a syndicate of Durham
IN. c. gentlemen bought 178 lots in the
beautiful plateau adjoining Newport News
and living between that thriving place and
Hampton. The plat was bought from the
Newport News Company. This syndicate
was Incorporated under the laws of North
Carolina as the North Carolina and New
port Newa Company, with Mr.. Is. l.. Duke
as president. Mr.. Duke is the wealthiest
citizen of the old North State, and one of
the most enterprising men In the United
States Though the corporators and stock
holders were fully satisfied with their ill.,
vestment. many of them interested in the
property had never seen II, and recently
they appointed committee to visit New
port News and report. This committee
consisted of b. J.. Duke, Il. Is. Boone. i.
S. Christian, r. S. Darlington. j. T. Corbett.
and w. V. Deane. who Wednesday, In
charge of Captain j. S. Laupscomb, gen.
eral manager of the company, executed
their commission.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC PARTY.
The party was in Richmond yesterday
on their way back 10 Durham, and TO say
that they were enthusiastic respecting
Newport News and their holdings does not
express 1T.
Mr. Boone, who is leading lawyer of
Durham, the company's counsel. and a
clear-headed, cautious businessman,
speaking for the party Yesterday TO DIS
PATCH reporter, said that they were all de-
lighted. why he continued, nothing
that has been said about Newport News and
Its prospects is in the slightest exaggerated,
In fact, justice has not been done In the
matter. The visit was revelation. Of
course. we were led to expect much, but
our expectations were more than realized"
How about the ship-yard plants build
ing 7" asked the DISPATCH man.
They are magnificent, and l learn that
the piles have been driven and prepara-
lions made for building on a still larger
scale
Another member of the party said they
had expected TO see q collection of sheds,
but the great brick structures with their
maze of machinery and their ships in pro-
cess of construction was most agreeable
surprise.
And what about your property" ask
| ed the DISPATCH reporter OF MIR. Boone.
I've went over It," was the reply, and
| were charmed. Agood investment Well,
should say so. 1t struck me as being the
most beautiful property between Newport
News and Hampton. There is no question
about Newport News becoming a great
putting all that money down there for fun.
MIR. Duke expressed himself as delighted
with the situation and the stroke that had
been made by the company In securing
the property. Though Mr.. Duke goes into
investments on large scale and is lavish
ly liberal with his money, he is one of the
most successful investors in the South aud
a safe man to follow.
The committee go back to North Caro-
lima prepared to open the eyes of the
already well-pleased stockholders OF the
company.

We protest against interfering with the right
OF suffrage in any way or attempting to improp-
erly influence it,
When both reports were presented, a motion
to lay the majority report on the table was
badly beaten
Each plank. as read, was more or less loudly
applauded, the gold and silver plank receiving
special Endorsement
Mr. Wheeler read the minority report, which
was as follows:
The minority, composed OF almost half the
members of the committee, offered the follow
ing as substitute for the financial and silver
and the tariff planks,
THE issuing Of q national currency belongs to
congress alone, as the representative OF tho
sovereign power of the nation, and should not
be delegated to private individuals or corpora
tions. The insufficient production OF gold and
the variance in the relative value OF gold and
silver render 1t impracticable TO rely upon
either gold or silver for safe, sound and sutfl-
| cient currency. We favor, therefore, the issue
| of legal-tender treasury notes, eXchangeable in
| gold or silver bullion, on plan similar to that
which now floats s3i0,0O,000 Of greenbaclSs on
Sl0OOo000O of gold reserve, and makes them
more acceptable and convenient than either
gold or silver coin. In the extension OF this
plan, rather than In the coinage OF gold and sill
yer, lies the solution OF the monetary problems
that are disturbing nll nations"
For the tariff plank the minority offered the
| following: "Our tariff should be so levied as to
| furnish revenue for the needs OF the government
| economically administered, relieving necessi-
ties used by the mass Of the people for the hene-
fit of labor, protecting American productions
and manufacturers against the competition of
foreign nations, The details of our tariff laws
having become the football of party politics to
the great disturbance and damage OF our pro.
tcctive industries and commerce, we believe
that such details could be better adjusted by a
tariff commission 10 recommend TO congress
duties TO meet the wants OF the government SO
graduated as TO protect American labor against
the competition OF the world"
The following was offered by the minority as
an additional plank 70 the platform:
"Recognizing and declaring that prohibition
Of the liquor tralfic has become tho dominant
Issue in national politics, we invite TO full
party fellowship all those who on this one dom
inant issue are with us agreed, in the full belief
that this party can and win remove sectlona
differences, promote nationality and insure thu
best welfare OF our entire land"
The tariff plank offered by the minority was
loudly applauded, but the applause was inter
mingled with numerous and loud cries Of mo.
There was applause of the currency plank, anC
there were cries OF mo" but not so many al
when tho tariff plank offered by the minority
was read
"A motion that the minority report lie on the
table was lost
The prohibition plank, the first taken up wal
unanimously adopted, after motion by Gus
tafson 10 make II read Drink IL foe OF civ
llization," had been voted down. The woman's
suffrage plank was adopted unanimously annie

Servants and Flunkeys Who Fatten on

This fear of undertipping which
haunts most Americans abroad is well

rendered was not worth financial recog-
milton.
In the big London hotels like the
Metropole and Victoria, which are pat
ronized by wealthy Americans, servants
are spoiled, and tipping from being a
nuisance rises to the dignity of an
abuse. l was told that some of the
servants paid two thousand ollars and
their services per annum for the privi-
lege of waiting on the Americans. This,
seemed to me an exaggeration, until
one evening, while sitting in the Metro
pole with an acquaintance, a lacl1ey
came up with two or three letters on q
silver salvtr. My acquaintance took
them and laid half crown (siXty-two
cents) on the platter And the letters,
were nothing but tradesmen's circulars.

we left our luggage, as usual, at the

The other meals were taken out of the

called vegetarian restaurants, which in
a measure take the place of American,

entree of some sort, pastry or stewed

How the Neighborhood Censor Excused
Herself.
Grandma Flake was the censor of the
neighboorhood in which she lived. To
carp and criticise is not difficult, since
everyone has some weak point, and
grandma had her hands-or rather, her
,mouth-full all the time.
She found special fault with the
young girls who were perverse enough
to dress and behave differently from
the fashions of fifty years ago, and one
girl, Stella Dorsey, was grandma's pet
aversion.
One day the censor SAVIOR thought
she saw-Stella drive past the house in
buggy with a gentleman, "carryin on
awful"

mont, Neb,, offered n brief prayer.
Chairman Ritter stepped forward and an
nounced the appointment OF Gen. Il, G, Stevens
as postmaster. Then Mr. Ritter asked for an
immediate adjustment OF the complaint that
some OF those wearing badges are not delegates
and said that the sergeant-atarms would be ex.
pected TO do his duty. With an appeal for order,
Col Ritter closed.
Secretary Small then read resolution intro
duced by Mr. Gibbs, Of Virginia.
This resolution was slap Mt Mrs. Cougar,
whose address last night made the southern
delegates sore when she referred TO the slave
auction block. Gibbs resolution asked that IN
view OF the fact that the war is over the speak.
ers before the convention be requested 10 re-
frain from such illustrations as might hurt the
feelings OF the southerners.
A delegate made the point that under the
rules all resolutions must go 10 the committee
on resolutions. BY m Overwhelming vote the
rules were suspended TO admit OF the consider
alton OF the matter by the convention.
Just then there oame cries OF "Plauonn,
