Frank Hopkins. a Wilmington ma.
plenty OF work at Newport News. left
our city on The i2.0l train Saturday
morning. He arrived at Old Point
Comfort about s o'clock. and taking
the electric cars, which run from Old
Point Comfort to Newport News, no
was landed at his destination about
$50 o'clock. The electric railway ID
some 0 miles In length. and charges IS
cents for passengers and ~ cents for
trunk, having baggage cars attach
cd. The electric cars are certainly
handsome ones, even excelling our
Wilmington cars.
On arriving at his destination Mr..
Hopkins walked around the works
and said It is certainly the finest dry
dock In the world. A large vessel was
then in the dock awaiting repairs and
1t hardly filled up one half OF the dock.
After talking to some OF the bosses
he became rather dlsheartened at the
prospect OF work at any kind OF living
wages and decided to shake the dust
Of Newport News from his shoes and
took tho 730 boat In the eve ming of
the same day enroute for home. not
overly pleased with his visit to the
greatest dry dock In tho world, In re-
gard to tho wages paid the skilled
workmen. He said board could be
had by four men rooming together
at o. so per week each. The works
are about the only industry in the
place and the company own nearly all
OF the houses, OF which two.thirds are
idle
The thermometer was away up In
the eighties and the boys were run
ming around In their shirt sleeves and
bare feet. He said the only thing
good and cheap were oysters, OF
which he got an oyster stew for Is
cents aud plenty OF bread and butter.
The old soldiers were lounging around
the home at Hampton Roads,
smoking and enjoying the comforts
OF life like a lot OF school boys.
The fare one way Is $500. which
with the ride on the electric road from
Old Point Comfort to Newport News
Is Is cents, making the trip one way
So 20. Mr.. Hopkins brought home
with him copy Of The Daily Regis
ter, little daily penny paper, 81 by II
inches. containing four columns to
tho page.
The paper offered gun the first of
the year to the newsboy who would
sell the largest number of papers up
to last Saturday. when tho gun was
awarded 10 Lee Todd. who cold 36iS
copies. 1t Is supposed Todd can now
go coon" hunting as he has got his
Gun. 1t is edited by Messrs. Merchant
d Peters and contains all the news of
Newport News. Our workmen should
know somewhere near what kind oil
wages they are to expect before going
to the expense OF going to Newport
News and return, which will take
nearly II not a whole weeks wages.

The Dover Sentinel calls the atten-
ton OF taxpayers TO the good round
salaries attached TO the different
Offices in Kent County, and the same
reasoning applies with equal force TO
the Offices IN New Castle County. 1t
says: No wonder these officials favor
the Wilson Bill. which will reduce the
cost OF living and make the purchasing
power of their salaries at least double;
but do the farmers and landowners
favor 81 cent corn and 90 cent wheat.
