The Norfolk Excursion

- Ed Argus: One of the pleasantest
nd most enjoyable trips that our
people ever had the pleasure of tax
ing was the excursion from this city
to Norfolk Tuesday last, under the
management of Mr. r. E. Pipkin,
who maintained his former reputa-
ton, and gained many new and ad-
miring friends on account of his SUI
perb management, which cannot be
excelled.
It is true that not a great many of
our citizens took in this trip, which
we regret very much on account of
the energy and zeal which Mr.. Pipkin
displayed in working it up and secu-
ring the exceedingly low rate of
fare for the round trip, but neverthe-
less, being the hustler that he is he
had worked it mp in such manner
as to secure u number of pas
sengers at every station all along
the route, taking up the largest
number at Wilson, and when he
ceased taking up passengers he had
quite crowd, just enough to be COM
Portable, and not enough to be
crowded.
Contemplating rush Mr.. Pipkin
had a reserved car attached, which
was comparatively we'll patronized,
and well looked after and protected,
having guard stationed at either
door, in order to prevent those not
enti tied to seats in this car from in
truding.
1t. was an enjoyable trip
throughout and everybody ex-
pressed themselves as being
we'll pleased. The weather was
cool and pleasant, the surf bath
ing and sailing was delightful
and not the slightest thing oc-
CURED to mar the happiness of
the pleasure seekers.
The passengers on board were
the most orderly set that ever
went on an excursion. During
the entire trip, both going and
coming, we did not see a sim
gle person under the influence
of liquor, nor after arriving in
Norfolk, as is usually the case.
The people of Norfolk were
high in their praise of the excur-
sion party, and several of the
citizens and the police were
heard to remark that it was the
best behaved crowd of visitors
that had ever been to Norfolk.
Even the colored people were
orderly and conducted them
selves in becoming manner.
The attractions were varieo
and many, and the occasion was
one long to be remembered with
pleasant recollections, by al
whose good fortune it was te
''take it in.' G.. w. r

possibilities of the South"

Hon. Hoke Smith contributes
to the current number of the
North american ReUieaO some most
interesting statistics concerning
the present prosperity and the
possibilities of the south which
confirm statements made in these
columns concerning the present
condition and the future of that
section. While the south in times
past found its chief felicity in
listening to the eloquence of the
political orator, it is shown that
to-day it finds the greatest salts
faction in the plain business
presentation of questions con-
nected with its material growth
and prosperity.
The resources and develop
ment of these sections are the
topics which in the largest de-
gree interest the southerner to-
day. The manner in which the
southern states have stood the
financial trials of the past eigh-
teen months, has justly com
manded not only wide attention
but nearly universal admiration,
and will undoubtedly have the
effect of attracting to a greater
degree than ever investors to
that section. Mr.. Smith discusses
the future of the South at length,
upon the lines of material
growth. Nature has favored that
section with climate pleasant in
winter and not oppressive in sum-
mer and has given it vast ex.
panse of territory suited to every
variety of agriculture. She has
given it almost limitless unde-
veloped wealth with ample coal,
iron and lumber alongside of cot
ton fields. The whole resources
of the South are to-day assert
ing themselves freed from any
hindering influences, such as
slavery. The individual strength
of every citizen of the south is
now exerting itself to the de,
velopment of it's greater capacity
and the producers of wealth, as
the Honorable Hoke says, are
now the masses controlled by
wise, prudent and capable direc
ton. The institution of slavery
no longer takes from the labor
ing people their hopes and aspi
rations, and consequently the
creative power of the section il
vastly increased. The inhabitants
of the South now believe that i
is destined to become in the neal
future the greatest manufactur
ing and mining as well as agri
cultural section OF the Union ant
the chances are large that they
! ..av be corrcct In their belief

Brown for Register.

Deo, Argus:-Thunder is to
pay in the camps of Republi-
cans and Populists, and co-opera-
tions will beat them for the Office
of Register of Deeds if the right
man is not put forward by our
party We have taken great
pains to learn from them, the
strongest man for said Office in
the Democrat ranks, and the YER
dict without single exception,
is in favor of the present .incum-
bent, Capt. A. J. Brown. It
seems, therefore, that an officer
who has served faithfully, and
who has made SO many friends,
both in the Republican and Pop
ulist parties, as well as in our
own. the wise thing to do at
this time, in order to tear the
Popalists to pieces, and to do it
most effectually, is to put on our
ticket the most reliable man. AS
has been said by the Chairman
of our State Executive Com
mittee, who is, perhaps, the best
campaigner we have, Let us
enter the fight with no purpose
but to Win" Now as two strong
political parties, and at this
time arrayed in order to crush"
lis, claiming as they do one third
to one half Of the voters in
Wayne county cooperate" to-
geUher, it is plain enough that
we should nominate the man
who will be sure to stay in the
Registers office. It is the most
important one and the people
without regard to party are be-
ginning to learn that the man
who has stayed in it long en-
ough to learn the duties thor
oughly and who has given salts
faction by his courtesy to please
everybody is the right man to
keep it for the next two years,
and they can have the advan-
tage of his experience and
save time and money. Let the
strong carry the weak" for he
will surely take the cake and
cook it Brown.

The Trend of Trade.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say: Sc
rious industrial disturbances in
New England, drought in the
Central and far Western States,
curtailing nearly all staple crops,
and disposition in all lines to
continue to buy for nearby wants
only, fail to greatly influence
general trade throughout the
country, the trend of which is to-
wards further Improvement.
Southwestern States, East of the
Missouri, and the Atlantic and
Gulf States report relatively
greater gains in volume of traffic
and in the spread of that better
feeling and confidence in a larger
volume of business in the Fall,
on which Improvement in busi-
ness depends.
Prominent among evidences of
expansion in general trade is this
weeks bank clearings-total
$500, 900, 900; a gain over last
week of about four per cent,
and over the like total one year
ago, when clearings got down to
about low water mork, the in
crease is 20 per cent. But com
pared with the total in the like
week two years ago, this weeks s
aggregate clearings show a de-
crease of 13 per cent. It is also
worth nothing as a sign of the
business movement that every
city clearings total for the week
is larger than a year ago except
one. Gains in clearings at whis-
key markets, Louisville, Cincin-
natl, Paris and Lexington have
naturally been expanded extraor-
binary. The creates. apparent
increase in volume of business
during the week is at St. Louis,
Baltimore, Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis and San Francisco.
At the larger Eastern cities there
is evidence of increased conf
dence that the Autumn will bring
a largely augmented trade in
nearly all stapel lines. but Balti-
more is the orly city in this
group announcing a decided i'm
provement. Southern buyers

shoes. General trade at Southern
cities betrays no change within a
week in volume of transactions
Or demand, but business on the
whole is relatively better than in
some other portions of the coun-
try. There is better request
for lumber at Charleston
for hardware and machinery a,
Augusta, rosin at Savannah and
whiskey at Nashville. Pros.
pective early movement of cotton
is expected to stimulate trade in
all staple lines. Jobbers at Bir.
mingham, Alabama, reports a
heavier August trade, so far,
than a year ago, and the croI
outlook in Louisiana is expected
to help business interests there
generally. Texas coast regior
crops are said to have been dam
aged by excessive rains.

none survive her who were here
when she first moved to this city,
some 60 years ago, and made her

Editor -1,ytls Il hope it will
not be intruding upon you, and
your valuable paper, to give the
public the benefit of what I
heard and saw during my little
round over this township last
week.
I found the crops fine. though
the heavy rains of late are hav-
ing a damaging effect. The i'm
preston now with our farmers
is, that the cotton will be short
33H per cent, and if the rain con
tinues will cut cotton short to so
per cent.
| also found the Democrats
and the people generally, were
ready and outspoken in their
choice for candidate for the Of
fee of Sheriff of this county.
The name Of H. G. Grady, of
your town, is the man that
suits our fancy for this position.
Knowing that Mr. Grady has
spent his time and funds for the
cause of Democracy, since he
has been entitled to suffrage, be-
sides he has had considerable
experience in this line of busi-
ness. and would fill the Office
satisfactorily. Mr.. Grady is
we'll and favorably known
throughout the county, and over
in Brogden township-the Re
publican stronghold he would
sweep the thing without word.
We are satisfied that the best
and most available man should be
placed on the ticket, and we
fully believe Mr.. Grady is the
strongest man for this place,
and we hope the delegates from
the other townships, at the
county convention, will aid ou1
delegation in making Henry the
nominee. We propose to send 9
solid delegation for Il. 6. Grady
for Sheriff and G. E. Grantham
for Register, and fill the Other
places with such men, and We
will make the Radicals howl.
