ANOTHER NORFOLK LINE.
Formation of Two Steamship Com
panies For New York and South
ern Trade

The formation of two steamship
companies which, operating together,
will connect Washington and New
York, is believed to be in process of
completion.
New York financiers, according to
statements now being made, purposes
t. purchase the line now operated BY
the Potoma, and Chesapeake Steam
ship Company in the Potomac river
transportation business, and forming
new company will operate boats be-
tween Norfolk and New York as well
as with southern ports.
Plans are now in process OF compile
ton, it has become known, by which
tn, newly organized $15,OOo,ooo
New York, Norfolk and Washington
Steamship Company, Incorporated re-
cenly under he laws of Maine, Will
establish a line from Washington to
! New York, and eventually pu on a
more efficient service than now be
tween the national capital and all the
principal ports of the south.
This will open a direct line which
cannot now be had.
Although the new corporation,
which hopes to reach Washington
Through the medium of the Potomac
and Chesapeake Steamship Company,
has had an acceptance of its offer to
take over this line, Colin H. Living
stone, president of the steamship line,
vice president of the American Ma
tIonaI Bank. and a director of the
! Hudson River Navigation Company,
kleclares that The proposition made by
the New York, Norfolk and Washing
ton Company, was not only definite,
| but attractive 1t is understood that
the offer will be accepted Mr.. Living
stone controls the Potomac and Ches-
apeake.
The Potomac and .nsgsa9eake Com
Fan yoperates four boats from Wash
! ington to the foot of the Potomac, but
! does not now enter Norfolk. 1t ex-
changes its freight for this point with
the Norfolk and Washington Steam
ship Company, which, with the en-
ception of Alexandria, does not stop
I between Washington and Norfolk.
The Norfolk and Washington Com
;pany, in return, exchanges its
freight for points along the river
wit hthe Potomac and Chesapeake.
Il the pending negotiations are sue
ccssfully carried through, the new
company will operate in direct COM
petition with the Norfolk and Wash
ington line.
After line is secured from New
York to Norfolk entry will undouDt-
edly be made to the National Capital
via the P. and c., which will probably
! be extended the other third of the
way to Norfolk, running direct, and
local steamers between the two ports.
Lines will thenbe secured from Nor
folk south, it being the object of the
concern to enter New Orleans, it
is understood. The competition be-
tween the lines from Washington to
Norfolk may result in the lowering of
jthe rates between the two ports. and
will afford excellent and direct ship
.ping facilities from Washington,
Alexandria, to New York and the
South, under the control of one corno-
ration.

Three weeks ago little Ralph

old child of Mr.. aud Mrs. II. Il.
Taggart, of Keokec, was taken
sick with pneumonia. For the
first week he did well and
seemed TO be on the road to re-
covcry. He suffered a relapse,
however, on the tenth day
aud his condition became criti-
cal. Doctor Tudor, who had
charge of the case, called to his
assistance Doctor Ardan, of
Bristol, formerly Of Keokee.
These two, with two trained
nurses an d his brave little
mother, watched him night
and day for over a week. Three
times the doctors feared each
moment would be his last; but
they never gave up, and kept
his heart going with first one

il was evident that the fever
was broken and the victory won

Says the Charleston Nows
and Courier:
Woodrow Wilson has been
warmly welcomed over and
over again in many places, not
only as n candidate for Office,
but often when IA college pro-
fessor, and he will often again
be warmly welcomed at home
and abroad, no doubt; but we
fancy that he mover has been
more cordially received than
he was received at Staunton
last night. Augusta county,
Virginia, is one of the most
prosperous in the valley. Il is
famed for the hospitality fits
citizens and the ideals of its
social life. 1t stood with old
Virginia in the dark days and
it has been proud part of old
Virginia ever since. No; only
has the South had reason to re
ioice greatly that at last her
position in the Union has been
vindicated by the election of a
Southern man to the presidency
but Virginia especially rejoices
that Southerncr is her native
son, rc-ostablishing her claim
as "l'he Mother of Presidents"
and once moro asserting her
place as a leader of National
thought. Therefore, Nirginians
generally have turned to Staun-
ton to Join in the great
homecoming celebration which
is a fitting climax OF almost
half a centuary Of peace and
reunion. MIR. Wilson feels the
Significance Of the occasion
He slept last night where first

people have not forgotten him.

three quarters it gives the tidy
sum of $3.50, 900, 900, and if this
is added to the value of the
fowls raised, the products of
the poultry industry on farms
amounts to about $500 900, 900.
This nearly equals the value of
