Superintendent,
The Members of the Juniata Valley
Editorial Association Oo Sight
Seeing.
Monday, Ootober4th, the editors
of the Juniata valley, accompanied by
their ladies, started on a trip to the
Sunny South. The journey to Harrisburg was made by different routes
but most of the party reached that
city on Sea Shore express. From the
Capitol oity to Chambersburg the excursionists were chaperoned by Ed
Burns.of Hagerstown,traveling agent
of the Cumberland Valley railroad.
Mr. Burns is a bureau of information
as well as a traveling agent and this
isn't the first time the Juniata Valley
editors have had the pleasure of his
company on such trips. He is a
whole-souled genial gentleman whom
it is a pleasure to greet. His quiet
business manner impresses one with
the fact that business is his pleasure.
At Chambersburg the party was met
by Hon. J. Nevin Pomeroy, of the
Repository, and Hon. M. A. Foltz and
son, of Public Opinion, and escorted
to the waiting train of the Western
Maryland road. These gentlemen
hoped the editors would find it convenient to tarry at Chambersburg on
their return trip in order that the
people of the chief town of our neighboring county might have opportunity to extend hospitality to the
party. This hospitality was necessarily but regretfully declined. The
journey from Chambersburg to Gettysburg over the Western Maryland
road, popularly known as "Thaddeus
Stevens' Tape Worm'* was delightful. As a traveler approaches the
summit of the South mountain at
Pen-mar there spreads before him a
panorama which beggars description.
The fertile Cumberland valley—full
forty miles wide—with its well tilled
soil, cozy farm buildings, herds of
choicest cattle, and dotted here and
there a village or town with its busy
hives of industry, presents a sight
whioh any one might travel many
weary miles to view with profit. One
of the party exolaimed as he gazed
upon tins soene, ''Little wonder that
Lee's soldiers were eager for an advance into Pennsylvania when they
feasted their eyes upon suoh a sight."
At Edgetnont baskets of the ohoioest peaches of that section were
brought aboard the tram and eagerly
did the members of the party purchase and deyour the delicious fruit.
Here we found chestnuts under cultivation—a new sight to most of us
—and it is evidently a profitable business. The burrs were full four
times as large as those we have in
this seotion and we were told that the
nuts have a finer flavor than those
grown wild.
Gettysburg was reached early in the
afternoon and the party became the
guests of the Gettysburg Electrio
road and was escorted over the famous battle field by officers of the
oompany and under the guidance of
Prof. Hankey. In the evening Capt.
James T. Long gave a vivid description of the battle at the Gettysburg
House. After Capt. Long's leoture
a hop was given in the hotel dining
room whioh was participated in by a
number of the excursionists. Guyon
H. Buehler, of tbe Star and Sentinel,
spared no pains to make the stop at
Gettysburg a pleasant one. Here we
met James Booher, formerly of Cromwell township, to whom we are indebted for many courtesies.
Early Tuesday* morning the party
boarded the speoial car provided by
tho Western Maryland officials and
oontinued their journey to Baltimore. In the Monumental oity it
was "go as you please" and the party,
divided into squads of from two to I
six and spent the afternoon in sight
seeing, visiting friends and transacting business. Druid Hill park seemed
to be the favorite objective point of
many of the squads* At this oity the
editor had the pleasure of meeting A.
Parlett Lloyd, Esq., witb whom he at
one time roomed at Williamsport
Dickinson Seminary. Mr. Lloyd is
a prominent attorney at the Baltimore bar and is the author of at least
two legal text books which are considered excellent authorities throughout the land on tht subjects of which
they treat, Mr. Lloyd spent a short
time with us and placed us under obligations to him in pointing out
places of interest and giving us valuable information. Among the
places to whioh be piloted us was St.
Paul's (Catholic) cathedral where we
viewed two fine oil paintings presented to the diocese of Baltimore by
Louis XVIII. of Franoe.
In the evening we boarded the Old
Bay Line steamer, "Georgia," at the
Union Dook. Here we were met by
Frank A, Heywood, editor of Southern Progress, of Philadelphia, who
during our further journey south was
to be our guide. ■ He it was who had
plauned the trip and made the arrangements for our reception in the
places to be visited. It didn't require five minutes acquaintance with
him to satisfy one that he had all the
preliminaries as well as the details
thoroughly under oontrol, and that
any party under his guidance would
have a good time. On board also
were Murray Forbes, of Portsmouth,
traveling passenger agent of the Seaboard Air Line and Joseph Strang,
of Boston, New England passenger
agent of the same company. We
found these gentlemen valuable acquisitions to our party. The voyage
down the Chesapeake Bay in one of
the palatial steamers ot the Old Bay
Line is one long to be remembered.
Early Wednesday morning we were
landed at Old Point Comfort, par-
took of an elegant breakfast at the
Hygeia Hotel and made hurried visits to Fortress Monroe—the most formidable fortification in the United
States—the Hampton Industrial
School and the Soldiers' Home. At
11 o'olook we took passage on the
steamer Luray for Norfolk. The
route was over the Hampton Boads
where occurred the famous battle between the Monitor and Merrimac.
Arriving at Norfolk we took dinner
at the New Atlantio after which we
were tendered and accepted a trip to
Virginia Beach, eighteen miles eastward, by the officials of the Norfolk,
Virginia Beach and Southern Bailroad. Virginia Beach is a popular
resort where tbere is fine bathing from
the middle of April to the middle of
November. The beach is not quite
as fine as at eome of the New Jersey
resorts but being more diversified is
possibly more attractive. The Princess Anne hotel with a capacity of
300 guests is finely furnished and presents an inviting appearance. The
waves of old ooean seemed to bid a
welcome to our party but most all
Something; to Know.
It may be worth something to
know that the very best medioine for
restoring the tired out nervous system to a healthy vigor is Eleotrio
Bitters. This medicine is purely
vegetable, acts by giving tone to the
nerve centres iu the stomach, gently
stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Eleotrio
Bitters improves the appetite, aids
digestion, and is pronounced by those
who have tried it as the very best
blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try
it. Sold for 50c or $1.00 per bottle
at B. O'Connor & Sons;'
lacked the fortitude to breast the
breakers. The editors of the Item
and the Huntingdon Globe, however,
couldn't resist her blandishments and
plunged in. A few others followed
and enjoyed an October bath.
Returning to Norfolk supper was
served at the New Atlantic after
which we crossed the ferry to Portsmouth where we found three tourists' sleeping oars placed at our dis*
posal by the officials of the Seaboard
Air Line. These we boarded and
started on the journey to Charlotte,
N. 0., which city was reaohed Thursday morning. A line of carriages
were in waiting to convey the excursionists to the Central Hotel where
breakfast was served. After breakfast we were escorted to the pleasant
rooms of the Southern Manufacturers' Olub where liquid refreshments
were served in abundance. After introduction and a cordial weloome by
the mayor the entire party waa again
summoned to the carriages and driven about the oity, through the park
and to some of the manufacturing
establishments.
Charlotte is known as the "Queen
City of the Carolinas." Itis a busy
industrial oentre, and has modern
improvements. It is a very old city
and the oounty seat of Meoklenburg
county. Here it v.as that the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence
was promulgated May 20,1775, more
than a year prior to the Declaration
of the Continental Congress. The
wording and spirit of the Mecklenburg Declaration were much the
same as that afterwards adopted at
Philadelphia. The Louise cotton
mills were visited. This is one ofthe
repent industries of the Queen oity
and it is a complete plant having
thirteen thousand spindles and four
hundred looms. The oity has six of
these mills and and also hosiery, towel, olothing, sash cord and other factories. There are in all forty-five establishments in the oity of Charlotte
in which skilled labor is employed.
The population of the oity in 1890
was 12,000 while five years later the
population had increased to 19,800.
One of the great industries of the
piaoe is the Charlotte Oil and Fertilizing Company. Of this and the cotton industry of the vioinity we shall
speak in another issue of the Item.
Thursday evening a reception was
tendered the editorial party at the
home of the Southern Manufacturers' Club. H. S. Ghadwiok, president of the club, was master of oeremonies, in whioh he was a< y ass st-
ed by his handsome and charming
wife. Mr. Ghadwiok is a native of
Vermont and Mrs. Ohadwick of New
Tork. Among the entertainers were
other handsome women whose names
have slipped our memory but their
hospitality will  not  be. forgotten.
After some hours in sooial inter-,
oourse an exchange of greetings took
place. Remarks were made by Pres.
Ohadwick, G. H. Maoklin, Gapt.
Mortimer, Dr. Brumbaugh, Capt.
Watts and Tom Harter.
At 5.10 Friday morning we bade
good-bye to Charlotte and started on
the return trip. ' Tbe first stop was
at Hamlet for breakfast. Twenty
minutes were allowed for this meal
aud when we stepped from tbe train
it was the general conclusion that five
minutes were sufficient for a party of
hungry Yankees to olean out all the
provisions in the unpretentious place,
but when we entered the dining room
we regretted that we hadn't at least
an hour for the meal.   We have eat-

en our meals in several states and at
some of the finest hotels in our large
cities but permit an humble country
editor to set it down that never has
he eaten at a railroad or other dining
room a better breakfast than was
served" us in the S. A. L. dining
room at Hamlet. The cuisine was
perfeot and the service complete.
If any of our readers travel in that
neighborhood we advise them to plan
their route so as to take a meal at
Hamlet.
Friday morning we reaohed Southern Fines and registered at the Ozone
hotel. Southern Pines is a comparatively new town, and has no industrial establishments. It is a health
resort, and has good hotels, chief of
which is Piney Woods Inn situated on
a commanding eminence back of the
town. This hotel is not open to the
public except during the winter
months. Since its erection every
season bas found it filled with guests
from the north whose constitutions
are suoh that they oannot stand the
rigors of northern winters. Most ot
the residents of Southern Pines are
from the north and they are energetic
people. The olimate of this region
is mild, the air is light and so healthy
is the place that in the twelve years
the town has had an existence bnt
two graves have been dug in the oemetery and the occupant of one of these
is a native.
In the afternoon the excursionists
accepted an invitation to visit Pine-
hurst, six miles distant, and oonneoted witb Southern Pines by a trolley
road. On the way we passed through
the famous Van Lindley fruit farm
which covers an area of oyer six hundred aores, over fonr hundred of
whioh is planted in peach trees.
Twenty-eight thousand crates of
peaches were shipped to the New
Tork market alone this season.
Pinehurst is a new place, the first
moye towards starting the town having been made but two years ago.
In that time a complete sewerage system, water works, eleotrio light
plant, magnificent hotels, casino,
school building, store room and several cottages have been built. Pinehurst embraces an area of six thousand acres and is the property of
James W. -Tufts, of Boston, the soda
water fountain manufacturer. Mr.
Tufts has spent over three million
dollars at Pinehurst and the work he
has had in view is but commenced.
No land is for sale. His idea is to
make this a resort for invalid persons of moderate means. The cottages are of fine architecture, handsomely finished and have all the modern conveniences. They are furnished ready for house-keeping—bed
and table linen excepted—and are
rented at very reasonable prices. The
water at this place is obtained from
artesian wells and is almost absolutely
pure. The village green consists of
twelve acres in the heart of the town
and tbis is surrounded by tbe choicest
of shrubbery and flowers. No liquors
are sold on the premises and no extortion   is    permitted.   Everything

—A few weeks ago the editor was
taken with a   very   severe cold that
caused him to be in a most miserable
condition.   It was undoubtedly a bad
case oi la grippe and recognizing it as
dangerous he took immediate steps to
bring about a speedy cure.   From the
advertisement of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and the many good recommendations included therein, we concluded
to make a first trial of the medicine. To
say that it was satisfactory in its results,
is putting it  very  mildly, indeed.   It
acted like magic and the result was a
speedy and permanent care.    We have
no hesitancy in recommeding this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with  a cough  or cold in an/
form,— The Banner of Liberty, Liberty*
