FLAGS AT HALF-MAST.

This was addressed to the agent Of the
Old Dominion Land Company here. and
was the. first official information rece we'd
IN reference to the death of Mr.. Hunting
ton. The flags al the ship-yard, of which
he was the princifnl owner, were lowered
to hnlf-mast, and men gathered in groups
on the street corners to discuss the news
and its probable bearing upon the city.
Mr.. Huntington was practically the foun-
der of Newport News. Back in the sos
a small company was organ Zed for the
purpose of building dry dock here for
the repair of vessels injured by the fierce
storms which are constantly occurring
near the graveyard of American ship
ping Cape Hatteras.
At the time Mr.. Huntington appeared
on the scene with the terminus of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway this dry
dock employed in the lie ghborhood OF 800
men. Mr.. Huntington bought out the COM
pany and Immediately began the erection
of the immense plant which to-day stands
without peer on the AmeriCNn Conti-
nent, which is valued at something like
S12G00,C coo, which gives employment TO 5000
men, and which has contracts on hand for
something like $1400o.00o worth of work.
Mr.. Huntington's first visit TO this section
was when he was quite a young man. but
he shrewdly saw the possibilities of the
site, both as a ship-building plnce and as
a deep-water terminus. Nearly half
century later, after having braved the
overland trip of the "Forty-N ners'' and
the storms of Cape Horn. he returned

the man who has gwen employment to
Nirginlans by the thousands and who
has opened markets for the trade and in
dustry OF thousands more is entitled to be
remembered. not only with affection, but
with the profoundest gratitude
Mr.. Huntington brought hope and hap
pneSs into the hearts and homes OF more
people in Virginia than any other man 1
know OF, and he enjoyed this reflection,
feel assured, from an incident which oc-
Cured on a hot Sunday evening in August
just year ago, at Newport News.
He had suggested stroll and we had
reached point where the congregations
from the churches, which had just come
out, were enjoying the breeze. The faces
were young and buoyant, and it was
pleasant sight to watch Mr.. Huntington's
interest in the children. He had built their
city, founded their schools, assisted in the
building OF their churches and was known
personally TO most of them. AS they came
by the little girls would smile in recogni-
ton and the boys DOTTED their caps. Mr..
Huntington was delighted, and I could
but admire his splendid physique and the
noble philanthrophy which lighted his
face as he enjoyed one of the purest pleas
ures that ever falls to the lot of man. He
was very great man-far-seeing, the most

Results have more than justified his
optimistic belief in the place. From
handful Of houses it has grown TO a pros
porous and happy city of 2o.0O0 inhab'tan
That he builded the foundn tons of the
city deep and well is evidenced by the
fact that there has never been q boom
here, and the growth of the place has been
conservative, and no fictitious values
have been built UP. Mr. Huntington was
here on August 4th. At TINT time he ap
peared to be in excellent health, and his
friends thought he was still good for many
years of life
The commercial and civic bodies of the
city will meet and adopt suitable resolu-
tions in regard to the death of the foun-
der of the city, and it is possible that the
ship-yard will suspend operations on the
day of the funeral unless the contract
on the Buford and the other Government
work there makes it necessary 10 go
ahead With the work.
Mr.. Huntington, in addition to being the
principal owner of the ship-yard, wus
stockholder of the Old Dominion Land
Company, and was interested in some of
the other local ventures.
The City Council tonight adopted resolu-
tons deploring the death of Mr.. Hunting
