Things Astir at Carolina Beach

The march of Improvement is in full

The Largest Vessel Hailing From North
Carolina

Yesterday afternoon the unusual sa-
lutes from the whistles of the tugs in the
harbor were by way of greeting the larg-
est vessel that now halls from North
Carolina. The vessel is the schooner
John H. Tingue, formerly hailing from
Philadelphia, but which is now owned by
our townsman. Mr.. George Harriss, Jr.,
who has removed here from Philadelphia
and makes this the home port of his
vessel.
The John H. Tingue has been up to
the Navassa Guano factory discharglng
a cargo of phosphate rock, and she came
down yesterday afternoon in tow of the
tug Nayassa. In honor of her becom-
ing a member of the Wilmington fleet,
she was flying her colors from all three
masts and was accordingly greeted by
the whistles of all steam vessels as she
passed down the harbor. From her main
mast she flew her owners personal sig
nal. a red flag with the letter H in
white in the centre. IN the mizzenmast
foated the ensign of United States flag,
and the burgess, containing the name
John H. Tingue," futtered in the breeze
from the foremost.
The John H. Tingue is a staunch and
beautifully constructed schooner, and
she sat in the water as gracefully as q
swan. She is the largest vessel hailing
from North Carolint waters and is one
of the fastest Of American sailing ves-
sells, her record being fourteen knots ain
hour. Her length is Isl feet, her width
so feet, her depth of hold 121a feet, and
her displacement 52 tons. With a cargo
of $50 tons she draws 10 feet of water.
Her hull is painted black n her masts
are very handsome. Her master is the
gallant Captain w. l.. Rhodes, of Rock
land, Maine, an experienced navigator
and popular seagoing man.
The John H. Tingue was towed to Cap
tain S. w. SINNERS shipyard, where
she will go on the railway to nave her
bottom scraped and reprinted.

Another Coast Line Short Cut

The August Chronicle of Sunday con-
tanned the following of much concern
to South Carolinians:
ut is stated that the Atlantic Coast
Line is now surveying the route of an
extension of their line that will put
them a great deal nearer to Augusta
than at present.
The information is to the effect that
the new line will be run from Den
mark to Martins station on the Port
Royal n Western Carolina division
of the Charleston and Western Caro-
Lima.
THE reason for the building of this
short line is obvious. The Atlantic
Coast Line now owns the Charleston
and Western Carolina and, at the same
time, is running it's trains into Augusta
over the tracks of the South Carolina
and Georgia.
by the construction of this short
line it would be enabled to reach this
city over it's own tracks for the entire
distance.
Just when the work Of grading, and
of laying the track will m a
not be stated. 1t is believed that the
Coast Line in the future will make a
very strong bid for the business Of this
section and that by shortening its
route to the east and running over its
own tracks it will compete, not only
for the passenger business, but for the
freight to such an extent that Augusta
will enjoy even lower rates than she
now has to the east and from there"

The Tramp Nuisance

Il intend to do nothing about the
tramp nuisance" said Mayor Wright
to a Messenger representative yester-
the police court.
This spons for such it was, was
brought about by a question asked by
the representative as to what course the
city authorities were going to pursue
in order to put am end, and that at
once, to the tramp nuisance, which is
menacing the life and e~ndangering
property.
Mayor right then went on to say:
Shortly before the converting of the
last term Of the criminal court I issued
instructions to the police to arrest any
and every tramp found in the city and
that they would be severely dealt
with. Quite a number were arrested
and brought before me for trial. Sew
era1 Of them were able to prove that
they really worked for a living, while
the rest stated that they made their
living as best they could. Among the
latter class were Nuls Nobbin, J. C.
Martin and C.. H. Monroe, all white,
who admitted in court that they
tramped from place to place and made
their living as best they could: I SEN
tenced these three tramps to six
months imprisonment in the jail, but
| when the criminal court convened the
grand jury found not one true bill in
their CASES when the officers of inc
court and others to whom the three
men made admission that they were
tramps, and were not even summoned
as witnesses.
A three of the tramps were allow
ed to go free without even receiving a
r~eprimand. OF course, if 1 am not to
be upheld i'm the position which Itake
for preserving order in the community
why then I might as we'll stop. There
fore, l say / am not going to take any
further steps towards abating the
tramp nuisance. OF colrse, if they VIC
late amy of the laws they will be
| promptly ARRESTED, but hen it is too
late to shut the barn door after the
hourse is stolen."
In the criminal court last week Mob
bins and Martin, referred to above,
stated that they were Mormon elders,
but elders Riley c. Savage and r. A,
Bolin, of TOquerville, Washington
county, Georgia, state that. the tvs
men are frauds.
When the case of the tramp Monroe
| (mentiOned by Mayo Wrigihtl was
tried, the representative waLs present.
Monroe stated a number of places he
had tramped through in a remarkably
short period of time and also said tina
he had NO particular vocation in life
but made his way as best he could.
