The Norfolk Virginian. [volume] (Norfolk, Va.) 186?-189?, 1895-01-01

THE VIRGINI4N, with more than
ordinary qualification, presents its
review of the trade of Norfolk for
the year 1894, inst closed, and II is
confident it will lie received with a
similar feeling on the part Of every
well wisher of orr city and section.
The figures exhibited demonstrate
the RAJ i'll stride Norfolk is taking IN
its march for metropolitan position
among the great cities Of the South.
In 1854, the trade exhibit OF Nor.
folk, AS presented by TuE VIRGIN
IAN, gave business of SIS, 007, 500.
In ten years from that time its
business had increased to the great
figure of 9l,19S,3 4S. When it IS
considered that the year just closed
was one Of great depression in all
lines OF business in all sections of
the country the showing Is q re-
markable one, the increase being
SAB. 100, S4S. approaching very near
double the volume of 1881.
The statistics presented in detail
In IRE NIKGiNIAN of this Issue will
convince all that Norfolk enters
upon the new year Of her future
under the most fortunate auspices.
She has reached G position which
lmpels her forward with n quicker
step than ever before III her history.
Her strides hereafter will be long
ones; her development more rapid.
In 1854 her population was about %,
UOU; to day 1t reaches close TO 90, 600,
and within three mile radius
and at her gates there is "a populn-
ton of fully $4,000 more. Hor aren
has been extended since 1857 from
$50 acres to 9, 40 acres, and soon she
will occupy all the territory between
the mouths of Tanners aud Broad
creeks. and She prospect is brighter
than ever before for the "GREATEE
NORFOLK" embracing all the ter.
Ritory upon tho banks OF the beauti
full Elizabeth and its graceful
branches. Win q railroad counec
tion of nearly Is, 600 miles, furnished
by nine lines of railway that make
tho harbor of Norfolk their terminal;
with sixteen lines of coastwise steam
ships. and two direct lines to Eu.
rope, why should not Norfolk adj
vance IN commercial and business
greatness with rapidity?

history of the country. without any
OF the Influences of "boom"-whar
can be thea conclusion other than
now, that u brighter and more pros

country, that Norfolk will keep step

nnder more encouraging auspices
than any city in the United States?
IHE VIRGiNIAN, to this end, with the
same confidence, the Same faith, The
same resolution, that has ever aul
mated its efforts during It's eventiu
history In all that conduces to the
growth and prosperity of Norfolk.

Norfolk coal is declared superior to
any Steam coal in the world. The

their best feats while ploughing old

GROCERIES, WHOLESALE AND RE
TAIL.

sttfL.
The wholesale grocery business OF
Norfolk is one Of the greatest of its
many branches of commerce and the
trade here caters to the retailers OF
all Eastern Virginia aud the Caro-
iinas, meeting the sharp COMPETE
ZION OF Baltimore aud Richmond
tirms. This business has had phe
nomenal growth since 1881 and this
city Is now one OF the largest dis
trlbutlng points for staple and fancy
groceries. aud provisions in the
South. In 1884 the grocery busl
ness OF Norfolk, IN both the whole
ale End retail branches, was estl
mated at IS, S97, 600, while for this
wear careful calculations place the
value Of the trade ut Sll,0l0,O00.
THE LUMBER INDUSTRY.
The secretary of the North Caro-
ina Pine aud Lumber Company has
andy furnished TIE ViKGISIAH
,ome statistics in regard to the lum
uer trade Of Norfolk, which
shows that it is the city's greatest
industry, requiring more money
ana supporting q greater number OF
men than any other line Of busl
ness. In 1880 the aggregate value
of the output was 81, 1000, 900; 1894
will show easily $40, 100, 0UO. There
are employed by the firms hav
ing offices III this city, and doing
business through the Norfolk banks,
about 16, 000 hands. At least one
third of these men are employed iu
the mills of Norfolk and her sub
urbs. The remainder operate the
mills III the counties OF Virginia and
Cnrolina. The NIRGINIAN is assured
that about 70 per cent. of the total
cost o! producing commercial ium-
Der is paid to- labor.
In no other business is the labor
cost so great. The capital Invested

Caroliuas, largely controlled by

tary OF the North Carolina White

to say nothing OF other expenses in
cldcnt.
The general tone OF tho trade has
improved, aud by early spring much
activity is expected. The dealers of
Norfolk virtually control the entire
trade from New York to Charles.
ION. S. g. This is accomplished
through the agency OF the North
Gnrollua Association, one of the
strongest trade organizations in the
country, with capital of several
millions. Large improvements are
beng made in the mills of this sec
ton, which are the most extensive
upon the Atlantic coast.
THE COAL TRADE.
The development Of coal mining
in the Flat Top fields of Virginia
and West Virginia, largely through
the Influence and aid OF the Norfolk
and Western railroad, has made this
port the most important coaling sta
ton on the Atlantic Coast. Ten

Mohammedan Tree Worship.

To certain degree the inhabitants c.
all Mohammedan countries are worship
crs of the tree known as the date palm,
Ono of the prophets most supreme and
binding injunctions is, Honor thy pater-
nal aunt, the date palm, for in paradise was
it created and from the very heap of dust
out of which Adam S body was formed"
The Mohammedans also have a tradi-
ton to the effect that when Adam and
Eve were driven from the garden they
wero allowed to take with them a date
seed, and that from that single seed
sprang all tho date trees now known. BY
some admirable providence the original
date seed was planted, and the tree grew
where tho temple of Mecca now stands,
and from its trunk was hewn the cradle
which often lullcd the infant Mohammod
to sleep. The Mohammedans declare that
all prayers arc fulfilled which arc made
with the knees pressing upon palm wood
or with tho same kind of wood in the
hand. Louis Republic.

Uia5ooism and Islamisrn.

That the $50, coo, 600 inhabitants of the
continent of India should ever become ono
nation is so wild an improbability, and
even if possible, a matter of so many cen
turtles, that It's assumed realization cannot
be made the basis Of practical politics,
for Hirdooisin and Islam show no signs
of decay, and the antagonism between
their followers is on the increase.
In the traditions of history, one of the
most powerful elements of national senti
mcnt, the pride Of the one is the shame OF
tho other. The Mussulman glories in
Aurangzeb. The followers of Gobind
Singh and Sovaiee detest his memory. In
termarriage is impossible and is sin even
among the myriad castles of Hindoos.
There is no historical example of such q
miracle as the amalgamation into one ma
ton of such multitude of diverse ele-
ments, and il it is to be effected the first
steps have yet to be taken.-National Re
