The official visit to Beaufort MAZE
By the governor and other state Of
fcers and tile corporation commission
was very gratifying to the people
there. The improvement Of the states
property, the Atlantic and North Car
olina railway, by the lessee, the Nor
folk and Southern railway is very
marked. The remainder of the line IS
being laid with 7O-pound rail the
trains are very handsome the station
is equalled to the best in the state
and the great bridge practically "
miles long, between Beaufort and
Morehead City is a notable piece Of
work exceeding anything in the low
country until the greater n across
Albemarle .odnd is finished which
will be in eleven months from this
date, President Cannon Of the Norfolk
and Southern tells me.
Much of the talk heard around
Beaufort was about the great inland
waterway, with ten feet of wate~ all
liz way o0Shs IN - =
going to provide. No man is happier
in regard to this than Congressman
Small, the father Of this great scheme.
1t will be noticed now that at all
the gatherings there are 10 De seen
aspirants for the nomination for gov
ernor, Kitchin. Craig. and Horne. At
Beaufort kitchin and Horne we're
present. AS to the candidacy of John
D. Bellamy there seems to be doubt
One Wilmington man said Bellany
would run and another said he would
not. AS to the bringing out of Fred
Woodland at this time there seems to
be doubt.
1t is found also tina. he public is
talking somewhat about the senator:
ship fight and that SO far as heard
from not one doubts that there will
be two candidates in the field. Senator
Overman and Governor Glenn. On
trains and in crowds this has been
| repeatedly heard mentioned during the
| past few days.
| Adjutant General Robertson while
at Beaufort mustered in a new Ill
| posed Of sailor men of that town and
| took part in the parade. There was a
drill for a flag by the national guard
and Captain Cohen's company, D, Of
the second regiment, Goldsboro, was
the winner. State Auditor Dixon pre-
sented the flag in a handsome way
and Governor Glenn, warmly compli
menting Captain Cohen and his officers
and men said he hoped the command
would do as well at the jamestown
exposition, where it would be in carlp
in August.
The state board of education has fix
ed the dates for it's visit for the va
rious points, eight in number, which
are competing for the eastern training
school for teachers, these dates being
as follows: Rocky Mount and Tar
boro, June 20; Greenville 81; Washing
ton, 22nd; and Edenton and
Elizabeth City "a; Newbern %; Kin
stOn 26. 1t seems to be the opinion
that the big fight will be between
Washington and Greenville. Some OF
the Washington delegation were seer
at Beaufort Saturday and they say
they are in the fight. Elizabeth City
seems to have dropped out OF it
thinking Greenville already a winner
but Washington is IL it to stay an(
its committee says its offer is a great
one.
Postmaster Briggs tells me that b!
an order just made every fourth elias:
postoffice in North Carolina is to de
pcsit its funds here, this abolishins
the repositories at Asheville. Winston
Salem, and Richmond, the latter s.
far as North Carolina Offices are con
cerned. There are 2.136 Of thes'
fourth class Offices and the pOstmaste
says the mount they viii send in t
him will be about s15, 900 a quarter.
