CROWDS BY THE SUMMER SEA
Nearly 400 People Spending Their
Vacation at Morehead.

Morehead City, n. c., Aug. 8.-(Spe-
ciaD-A fine ocean breeze prevails at
Morehead to-day. For the past two
days the ocean breeze was slight, but
last night the breeze set in nicely, and
to-day it is very fine and invigorating.
There are now at the Atlantic be-
tween three hundred and fifty and
four hundred guests, who seem to be
enjoying largely the advantages and
surroundings of Morehead. The man
agement of the hotel under the super
intendence of Mr.. Campbell, is well
conducted, and it may be said the
season has been quite successful, and
good crowd has been here, since the
opening of the hotel. The hotel is
well kept, and the comfort and con-
venience of the guests are carefully
considered and attended to-
The Baptist Sunday School Chautau-
qua is now in full session, and is quite
largely attended. Last night the con-
cert was very good and the Teachers
Assembly building was crowded. The
singing was good, and the recitations
of the children decidedly commenda-

an urgent and successful beggar. He
can get hundred dollars out of an as
semblage where but few men could
get fifty dollars. IF his Baptist friends
would send him out i'm the interests of
the Raleigh Female College he would
in six weeks secure funds sufficient
to complete the building. There are
many prominent Baptists here: DR..

Simms and Secretary Of State Cooke.
The ChasaGfnsRsa exercises are inter
quite an interesting discourse this
morning on Sabbath School teaching.
He performed his task well and COM
mendably. Prof. J. Y. Joyner, OF
Greensboro read a very fine essay, SIS
there need for secular teaching in the
Sunday SCHOOL," 1t was in truth a
very fine and scholarly effort. Prof
Joyner is a man of much fuency and
power, and one of the finest and most
captivating of readers. Really I have
not heard such reading since the days
of the late Major Seaton Gales, who
was one of the finest readers and talk
ers the State ever had.
Governor Jarvis gave most inter.
esting talk this evening on Sunday
school work, and he was well received
as he always is when he talks, and he
always talks sound sense and wisdom
He would not go while minister tc
Brazil to the Sunday balls and like
amusements, and I am sure the spirit
ual inclinations of our Mexican minis
/ ters causes him equally to eschew the
! frequent Sunday bull fights. Tonight
a fine concert is to be given at the
assembly building.
I North Carolina should be proad o1
/ her fine seaside resort. No place or
the Atlantic ocean combines as many
advantages as Morehead-fine fishing
sailing, trolling, sound bathing anC
surf bathing. Nature has given it every
advantage.
1t does seem to me that the railroad
people are remiss in their duty and in
terest. You can go from Raleigh t.
Old Point and return for $500. From
Charlotte to Wrightsville or Carolina
Beach for $500, but from Raleigh X
Morehead it is s6.70. Even from New
bern to Morehead it is $500. when i
/ it were not for the Atlantic Hotel tha
part of the road would grow up il
grass, and could not be given away.
