The Norfolk & Southern rail
way is the only line reaching
North Cardinals famous sea-
shore resorts, Morehead City and
Beaufort, N. G., and owns and
operates the Atlantic hotel, More
head City, where the meeting of
the North Carolina Press Associ-
alton will be held July 18th and
18th, which will be attended by
representatives of practically all
the newspapers of the State of
North Carolina. *.-
The Norfolk & Southern rail-
way has greatly improved the
Atlantic and North Carolina
Railroad, now its Beaufort Divis-
ion, between Goldsboro and More
head City, and recently construct
ed and opened for traffic a mag
nifcient bridge between More
head City and Beaufort. about a
mile in length, affording Beau
fort, one of the oldest towns Of
the State, it's first railroad fac
ilities.
It has also recently opened its
new line between New Bern and
Washington, N. c., and between
Washington and Greenville and
Farmville, N. c., thereby con-
Meeting some of the most import
J ant towns of Eastern North Car
DINA, which before, while geo.
graphically near together, have
! been comparatively inaccessible
: and most difficult to reach for
want Of direct railway commun.
. ication. All these difficulties are
now overcome, and with the per-
}. manent passenger service in Ell
feet on its old lines established
!. on the new lines, the service Of
the Norfolk & Southern will b
: unsurpassed in this State.
In addition to these new lines
the Norfolk & Southern is nov
completing a line reaching from
Washington, n. c., througI
Greenville and Farmville an,
Wilson, to Raleigh, placing tn
Capital of the State in closer re
lation with its hitherto inacces
sible Eastern portion than wa
| some years ago thought possible
| on account of the many water
4 ways of that section. The con
