was really nothing worth talking about
in his life: that 1t was most ordinary, y
and he felt sure the public did not par
ticulnrly care to hear anything about
him.
But he was decidedly mlstaken; and
though we must give his modesty credit
for the mistake. still we cannot but feel
he should have little better opinion
of himself. In these days Of strenuous
interviewing. it is really refreshing to
find someone who does not consider that
an interview with him or her is the only

CONFORM, VA, June 24-When 1t was
found several years ago thet Somerset
Beach, on tho Potomac River, in this
tliing George county, would not develop
into popular summer resort for white
people, as Colonial Beach had done, the
promoters leased 1t to colored people in
Washington city; and almost Immediate
1y large excursion parties of that race
were organized for frequent trips down
The river to the prospective resort
In a short time the colored people in
the rural districts became intensely IN
terested in the place. and great mum.
iners of them travelled long distances on
Excursion days" to meet and mingle
with the city crowds at the beach"
Interest and enthusiasm grew. and now
Somerset Beach is the garden spot"
OF the world in the estimation Of the
colored folks. Sundays are the main ex-
cursion days, and it is verify sight
to see the multitudes that throng the
highways every Sunday morning-old and
young, from all sections. vending their
way towards the 'beach''--some riding,
some walking, some, fairly running, but
all moving In the same direction
Sunrise finds many on the roads. Old
folks, bent with age. with Sunday coats
folded on their arms, hopping sweat with
great bandanas, help to swell the con-
course. Many who can't AFFORD to buy
a midday lunch. carry little wallets con-
tanning Something for n snack" and
many Of the women folk carry tho typi-
cal country basket, which contains fried
chicken, tempting (?) cherry pies, and the
like, to bring in n few pennies" and
Hope out on 'spenses."
1t is simply amazing what great dis
tances some of the aged and feeble folk |
walk to the great resort. And when
.he multitude from the surrounding |
rountry meet the multitude from the
city, like swiftly-mpving thunder storms !
meet, the throng at the beach cannot be |
counted or even estimated by mortal |
man. It Is needless to say that tho con-
