CREDIT FOR EXPORTS
No Discrimination in Favor OF
Newport News.
Transportation Agent Says This City Gets
All the Physical Benefits of tho Export
Trade Furnished II Newport News Docs
Get the Custom House Record oft.

Freight goes from here to Newport
News for export. There's no denying
that. All of the railway agents and
steamship agents admit it. There's no
reason why they should not admit 1t.
and little reason. If any, why they
should regret it.
Such is the information a reporter for
the Virginian- Pilot got who invcsti-
gated the charge of the Journal of
Commerce of Saturday. as follows:
"A RANK INJUSTICE"
ut is reported that railroads termi-
mating at Norfolk are sending thous-
ands Of tons of feright to Newport
News to be loaded on vessels bound for
European ports. These goods go
through the Custom-house at Newport
News and not at Norfolk. which is
rank injustice to this port.
There is something wrong. and the
Board of Trade should investigate the
matter at once, ascertaining the condi-
tions which have caused this diversion
OF our legitimate export business and
apply a remedy"
One transportation agent said that
his company had sent freight to New
port News for shipment because OF n
strike at that time in London. which
would have prevented the company
from delivering the merchandise. by
any other way, on schedule time. 1t
was an extraordinary occasion-an
emergency.
Another agent said his company had
not sent merchandise to Newport News
for shipment, but would do so II con-
venience or economy demanded it.
Another agent said that the steve
dores' charges were fixed so that Nor
folk gets the same benefit from trans
ferring freight from the railway to a
barge as to a ship. There is very little.
-bt>ttt.fit-to-be derived by Il city
from loading n vessel from a barge
alongside. The value of an export
trade to city is governed by the
amount of money that the business
tugs. barges. stevedores and laborers
are all hired and paid here makes the
exports OF value TO this port. 1t does
not matter where the records of the
Custom house are made or kept Nor
folk gets the business.
Another agent says that Norfolk gets
all the physical benefits of the EXPORT
trade. II does not matter where the
credit is recorded II the ships which
leave here do not go direct to the ports
10 which merchandise Is consigned It is
more economical to send it where IL can
take ship. Meantime the railways.
which have great and costly terminal
facilities here. are not Interested in Civ
ing any advantage to Newport News
even If It he tho credit. merely. of ex-
ports which that city has nothing TO
do with. except to make the Custom
house records Of
All of the agents urged that there IS
no intent to discriminate against Nor
folk and that no railway or steamship
line had any interest in such n dis
elimination. 1t is no advantage to
either.

SALE oF CITY PROPERTY.
TWO LOTS AT CUMBERLAND AND
HOLT BRING S1.SSO-NO LOSS
TO CJVV

Property of the city. at the corner of
Holt and Cumberland streets, was sold
at noon yesterday. In buying prop
erty for the extension OF Holt street II
was considered cheaper to buy entire
properties rather than condemn the
portion that the city actually needed.
1t would have cost as much, perhaps,
to condemn the part as to buy the
whole. Hence the city bought whole
properties there. used that which was
necessary to widen the street and sold
the remainder.
That consisted of two lots. one on
Cumberland and Holt streets. 17xSS
feet. and another back OF that, 16x44
feet. Both were sold ut the Real IIs-
tate Exchange at noon yeSterday-the
first to Mr. Aaron Milhado for SI13O.
the other to Miss Lizzie Moore for $3.50.
These prices saved the city from loss.
The lots brought relatively what they
cost.

Governor" BrownIey's Candidacy.

a new Richmond is in the field in the
Congressional fight in this district in
the person of Hon. a. NJ. Brownley.
who was endorsed by the Democracy
OF SOUTHAMPTON county yesterday.
Governor BROMLEY, as he is ia
miliarly known. is the war horse of
Democracy in southampton. He is a
big man. physically and mentally, and
an aggressive fighter.
Governor Brownley's candidacy Is
significant in one respect. He was one
OF the ablest and strongest supporters
of Senator Stands in the memorable
Stands Boykin fight. having presided
over the convention that placed Mr.
Stands in nomination. For these rea-
sons ii is not improbable that he Will
receive the support of the Stands poo

hoNEED FOR PRIMARY.
PROMINENT DEMOCRAT SUG-
GESTS THE PLAN THAT RICH
.MOND PURSUED TO CHOOSE
CONGRESSMAN

prominent Democrat suggests that
there is no need for a primary. That
is on the hypothesis that no candidate
other than Hon. w. a. Young Will APP
pear. OF course, he says. this being
Mr.. Young's home, the delegates from
here will be for him in the convention.
In that case there will be no necessity
for a primary. Mr.. Young will he al
lowed to choose the delegates, and then
if he cannot be nominated. they can
agree on some one else as n candidate.
The gentleman speaking said that
Richmond had pursued such plan and
that 1t had worked satisfactorily.
Otherwise It would he necessary for the
candidates or the party executive com
mittee TO provide the money to pay the
expenses OF primary election. In case
there is no other candidate for Con
gross there need be no expense at all.

MIR. r. f. COBB REscUEs TWO
AND MIR. c. c. BOYKIN ONE
AT OCEAN VIEW

BY the presence OF mind and ready
action OF Mr.. II. e. Cobb. the popular
cornetist of Prof. Kruger's Ocean View
pavilion orchestra. and Mr.. C. c. Boy
kin, visitor, three young ladies were
rescued from drowning at Ocean View
yesterday.
About 1 p. M. three young ladies, in
company with gentleman, were bath
ing near the hotel bath house, when
they got into the depression in which
young lady from Petersburg was
drowned a year or two ago.
There were a few bathers in at the
time, when Mr.. Boykin and Mr.. r. e.
Cobb heard cries for help. and both
gentlemen rushed into the river. Mr.
Boykin saved one young lady and MIR.
Cobb brought the other two safely to
the shore. but not before they were
nearly exhausted. One of the ladies
was so far gone that she had to be
given stimulants before she recovered
consciousness. But for the timely ac-
ton on the part of these gentlemen
three lives might have been lost.
