would have no time for the discharge
of the duties Of his onicc.
There are many places Of interest in
and around Washington and it would
take several weeks to make the rounds.
Sunday was spent in various ways.
Some went to church. while others
rested or rode to somc OF ;hc suburbs
OF the city on the street cars. In the
afternoon party took IL boat down the
river to 4 place called "ltivrr View"
Therc are numbers Of these resorts
around the city and none Of them oh
serve the Sabbath very strictly or at
all. They are pleasure resorts and all
kinds OF games and places OF amusr-
mcnts are in full swing. 1t is said that
something of the kind is necessary for
those who are closely confined in stores
and shops for six da"s in the week.
Certainly there was nothing ut River
View TO remind one Of IT, Christian
Sabbath
Congress ha, adjourned the day be-
fore we reached Washington and not a
=
found. In fact think all Of them had
left several weeks before the final ad
journmcnt. Certainly all the South
Carolina members had gone home.
About the only SouLhC CarOlinans whom
we met in Washington were Mr..
Brautly from Orangeburg. II Mr.. Mar
tin from Hampton and MIR. J. W. Bow
den OF Anderson.
The National Hotel gave us excel
lent entertainment and we can cheer
fully recommend it rs Il good place to
stop when on Il visit to Washington.
We left Washington at - o'block on
Monday for Baltimore. The Baltimore
and ohio Railroad gave us Il special
coach for the trip and we were chape-
roncd by MIR. y. w. Wilson, the tray
cling passenger agent and very clcv-
cr young gentleman from West Nir-
ginia, and by the way, Il son of cX-Con-
grcssman Wilson. Persons going
North would do well to see that tick
cts read via the Baltimore and Ohio.
Good service. polite attention and safe
'
when you travel this way.
Our party had about four hours in
Baltimore before the departure Of the
boat for Old Point. This gave an OPP
portunity to see II little something Of
the city.
We Travelled to Old Point on the At
lanta OF the Baltimore. Chesapeake and
Richmond Steamboat Line. The gene.
raj passenger agent Of this line. MIR. t..
j. thlsm, accompanied us on the trip
down and everything possible for our
comfort and pleasure was at our dispoS.
al. This is an excellent line OF steam
rrs and affords one of the most de-
lightful trips il is possible TO take.
W" arrived at old Point at t o'clock
| the next morning and soon had COM
f"rtah'" rooms ut the liygciu Hotel,
| one OF the finest summer hotels any
where in the country. The fare was
all that even an editor could desire and
the service first class. There were
something over 500 guests in the house
while We were there but they were
greatest ease and comfort
Around old Point are many places of
historic interest. There is NEWPORT
News with her ship yards: Fortress
Monroe. the place where Jefferson
Davis WAS imprisoned during the late
war: and the bath .ships in the hurbor
at Newport News. Some Of us went
through the fort. and some went aboard
the Minneapolis and others convcrscd
with the officers OF the ship which
brought in the wounded from Santa
go. Much longer time could have been
spent here than we had at our disposal
.Af,cr two days we turned homcward
without going to Virginia Beach and
Ocean View, but after having upon the
whole a most delightful trip.
70 Mr.. 5. IL. Hardwick and Mr.. r.
T.. l.. Bunch, of the Southern Railway,
! want IL make public and personal ac-
acknowledgement for their courteous and
polite attention to my many requests
for transportation and changes in
transportation. MIR. Bunch. chief
clerk 10 Mr.. w. y. Turk, is the most
patient, courteous and polite railroad
man with whom have come in con-
tact in long time. All the clerks in
the onice seemed to have the same dis
ease. Mir. Hurdwick's Office in Atlanta
WAS equally courteous and polite, and |
want also to thank Mr.. w. T.. McGce
| ut Grccnvillc for his Kindness II is a
| pleasure to deal with people who are
| polite and courteous. MIR. t.. ]. Chism,
Of the Chesapeake Line: MIR. \. W.
Wilson and Mr.. Arthur G.. Lewis. of
the baltimore and Ohio railroad come
under this description.
The greatest pleasure | had out of
the trip was the satisfaction that it was
enjoyed by those for whose pleasure it
was arranged and that they apprcciat,
ed the efforts made for their comfort.
There was not a urumb blpr i'm our nor.
