Especial to The Messenger.)
Goldsboro, N. c., November IA
The party of capitalists who came
to Goldsboro On Saturday afternoon
and Nut over the A. & N. c. railroad
as guests of Mr.. r. S. Rowland, the
principal lessee of that road, and who
represent in their own name capital
to the amount of $4,000, 900, left this
morning over the Atlantic Coast Line
for their homes in the North. In
the party was Senator Aldrich, one
of the pest known and influential
members of the upper house of the
national congress. He came with tn.
other distinguished members of the
party on q tour Of inspection. He
was very f~avorably impressed with
Beaufort harbor. and indirectly ex-
pressed the wish that Beaufort could
be made a port for sea-going vessels.
He and other members of the party
were much impressed with the excel
lent piece of property of which Mr..
Rowland has lately come into control
as we'll as the country through which
the road runs. The result of their
visit will be realized later In invest
ments which will be made along the
line of the road.
The social side of the trip was some
what marred by one of the ~fiercest
storms which has visited Morehead
City for a number Of years. When
the party left here on Saturday ar
ternoon on a special train composed
of Pullman cars they went direct to
Morehead City, where they spent the
night al the Atlantic Hotel. The
storm was terrible yesterday morning,
and they came hack to New Bern, re-
turning to Morehead yesterday af-
ternoon. The weather conditions
were so unfavorable that they came
to Goldshoro last night and spent the
night at the Hotel Kennon. While
in the city here they were accorded
every attention on the part of the
leading citizens and different mem-
bers of the party were impressed and
so expressed themselves with the COZ
dial hospitality with which they were
met.
