VOL.. XXTI ttOLDSBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1908. NO. 4e IN SAN FRAN- CISCO BAY. The Greatest Naval Review Ever Seen in Ameri can Waters. Tbe Center o! Attraction was the Six teen Great Battleships of the At lantic Squadron. Behind These Were Ranged the Armored Cruis ers, Gunboats, Toipedo Boat De stroyers and Fleet Auxiliaries. (Special to the Argcs.) San Francisco, Cal., May 8. The greatest naval review ever seen in American waters took place today in San Francisco bay. As Secretary of the Navy Metcalf steamed down the long columns of flag-draped fighters and was saluted by each vessel in turn, the sight was one never (to 'be forgotten bv the thousands and thousands of spoctators who lined the shores and tilled the countless excursion boats that dotted the waters ot the bay. As a naval pageant, the review was the most notable in American history. There have been several great naval parades on the Atlantic coast during the past two years, but in no instance was the number of vessels anywhere near so large as was the case today. Forty-six vessels of war participated in the demonstration. Of course the center of attraction was the sixteen great battleships of the Atlantic squad ron. .Behind these were ranged the armored cruisers, gunboats, torpedo boat destroyers and fleet auxiliaries. Prom the city front there was an ex allent view of the miehty fleet as it lay at anchor, stretching in a formida ble line from the foot of East street to Hunter's Point. Battleships and cruisers, gunboats and destroyers, all were "dressed" in the fluttering flags and the brilliant hued pennants and bits of bunting which form the International Signal Code. During the salutes to the Sec retarv of the Navy, the white puffs ot powder smoke. floated away like tiny flecks ot summer clouds among the fluttering flags of the decorated ships, the effect being one of unexpected beauty. In the fleet was represented almost every type of vessel known to the American navy ot the present day. The stalwart 16,000-tonners of the Con necticut class shared honors with the tiny destroyers that likewise made the 14,000-uaile journey from Hampton Roads. Five stages of American bat tleship construction were represented in the line and as an object lesson in "the growth of the American navy the spectacle found one of its most strik ing features. The same guns that ut tered a eoed-by tribute to President Roosevelt at Hampton Roads last De cember .today .voiced a welcome to his Secretary of the .Navy. The ereat ships tugged at tneir an chor chains as the reviewing yachi passed up and down their lines Each vessel manned the rails as the Secretary of the Navy passed, ana the crews stood at attention as tbe yacht skirted each line. Tbe vessels ot both the At lantic and the Pacific fleets looked al most as spick and span in their coats f white paint as though they had but recently left the dry dock. From the shore there appeared a dazzling back ground of warships, whose glistening white sides sparkled in the light rays reflected from the water and whose light buff superstructure and stacks lent a harmonious setting to the many hued flags floating from mastheads and peak, from fightingtops and flying tracks. In every part of the world where they have been seen American vessels have always attracted attention be cause of their graceful lines and clean cut appearance. Today, assembled into the greatest fleet that ever flew the Stars and Stripes, riding at anchor in one ot the most beautiful harbors on the American continent, these ships that constitute the backbone of the American navy and have been a sub ject of lively discussion in naval cir cles the world over, made an impress ion that wilt live long in the memory of the hundreds of thousands who looked on, while the Secretary of the Navy, surrounded by a brilliant staff of officers, doffed his hat in acknowl edgement of each thunderous salute which marked the progress of the re SILVER SERVICE FOR ! THE NEBRASKA. The Service is Said To Be One ot the lost Beautiful Ever Presented To An American Battle ship. (By special wire to The Arous.) San Francisco, Cal., May 8. A handsome solid silver service of a dozen pieces was presented to the bat tleship Nebraska, at anchor in San Francisco bay, today by a committee of a hundred prominent citizens of that State, headed by Governor Sheldon and his staff. The service is said to be one of the most beautiful ever presented to an American battleship, and cost several thousand dollars. The mammoth trays, bowls and other large pieces ot the service are handsomely decorated with designs emblematical of the State of Nebraska and the United States Navy. FLEES FROM HER SUITORS. Her Large Fortune a Magnet to Many Aspiring Gallants, She Flees to the Country to Escape Unwel come Attentions. (Special to the Argus.) New York, May 8. Miss Jane Bo- land Southerland, of Gainesville, Fla., who inherited a large fortune Iromher father there is today planning flight to the country to getaway from suitors who seek her everywhere, on land and sea, for her money. She is stopping at Prince George Hotel and planning her disappearance. She is the daughter of George II Southerland, a prominent leal estate operator, and a neice of Col. Michael Boland, widely known .in Louisville, Ky., and all over the South. In Europe a year ago, the young wo man was greatly annoyed by foreigners with plenty of titles and no money. WORSE THAN BLUEBEARD. he Startling and Incredible Develop ments Deepen. (Special to the Argus.) La Porte, Ind., May 8. No more bodies were dug up today on the farm ot Mrs. Belle Gunness, but Sheriff Smutzer, in an interview, says he has no doubt that at least 38 persons were killed by this woman, as he is getting telegrams and letters from all parts of the country asking him to look for bodies of men missing from home. It is the reiterated belief that the woman did not perish in the flames, but that she put the body of another woman amid the farmhouse ruins and that she herself is in hiding, waiting for a chance to sail for Norway in disguise. State's Attorney Smith still disa grees with the sheiiff. He is certain that Ray Lainphere set fire to the house for revenge, and that Gunness was burned up with the house. FIFTY THOUSAND CRATES. MING HRE IN ATLANTA. ARMY AND NAVY PAGEANT. The Spectacle Most Notable Ever Seen in San Francisco. " More Than One Million Dollars Already Gone Up in Smoke. (Special to the Argus.) Atlanta, May 8. A vieious which started at 4 o'clock this morning had done damage to the amount of $l,O00, 000 by 7:30 o'clock.

The reports of firemen being injured by falling walls is without foundation, although there were many close calls, but no accidents to firemen. Shinments From Mount Olive Will Doubtless Beach This Figure Be fore Close of the Season Good Prices Prevail. Mount Olive Tribune. Up to Tuesday night of this week, including shipments by refrigerator car and express, there had been 31,392 orates of strawberries shipped from Mount Olive this season. Yesterday about eight hundred crates went lor ward, making a total of something over 32,000 crates for the season to date Wednesday night. From what oan be learned there will be close to fifty thousand crates from Mount Olive this season, or at least this is the estimate of some of our most prominent commission men and truck growers. Last year the shipments trom this point was about forty thou sand crates. The berries so far have averaged about $3.00 per crate, though at times the prices have been much higher than $3.00. It will be seen from this that the season has been a very profitable one for our truckers. By the close o the season, a week hence, the sum to tal paid out for the luscious fruit to the truckers here will reach the large sum of $140,000.

Furl that banner, for 'tis weary; Round its staff 'tis drooping dreary;. Furl it, fold it, for it is best; For there's not a man to wave it. And there's not a sword to save it. And there's not one left to lave it In the bipod which heroes gave it; And its foes now scorn and brave it Furl it, hide it, let it rest. Take that banner down 'tis tattered. Broken in its staff and shattered, And the valiant hosts are scattered Over whom it floated high. Oh! 'tis hard for us to fold it. Hard to think there's none to hold it. Hard that those who once enrolled it Now must furl it with a sigh. Furl that banner, furl it sadly And ten thousands wildly, madly, Swore it should forever wave; Swore thatfoeman's sword should never' Hearts like their entwined dissever, Till that flag would float forever O'er their freedom or their grave. Furl it! for the hands that grasped it. And the hearts that fondly clasped it. Cold and dead are lying low; And the banner, it is trailing, While around it sounds the wailing Of its people in their woe. For, though conquered, they adore it Love the dead, cold hands that bore it. Weep for those who fell before it, Pardon those who trailed and tore it And oh! wildly they deplore it, Now to furl and fold it so. Furl that banner! true i'tis gory, Yet 'tis wreathed around with glory And 'twill live in song and story, Though its folds are in the dust: For its fame on brightest pages, Penned by poets and by sages, Shall go sounding down the ages, Furl its folds ihovgh now we must. Furl that banner! softly, slowly, Treat it gently it is holy For it droops above the de-ad";-; Touch it not, unfold it never; Let it droop there, furled forever,- For its people's hopes are dead.

BY CUTICURA REMEDIES "Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her" face and head were all one sore. We used different reme dies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her ears would fall off. She suffered terribly, and would scratch until the blood came.
