BY WTTiiilHM B. IUKNARO WILMINCJTU.H. i. C. Thtjbsdat MOBirure. Nov. 28. AGREATHAVY. It seems to be the settled policy of i this Government to have a great navy. Aside from the assumed ne cessity for such a navy the achieve ments of our seafighters in the war with Spain has stimulated interest in the navy and made the country i 'rather proud of its defenders on the waters. Whether a matter of pride or choice or something else we have pitched into the world's arena, so to speak, have taken a hand with the other grabbers, pride ourselves in being a "world power' and of course we must put ourselves in a position to be able to take care of ourselves in a scrap if we are dragged or forced into one, so that a power ful navy is not so much a matter of choice with us as a matter of neces sity. Great navies have become the hobby with maritime nations, and being a martime power of some pre tensions ourselves we must keep up with the hobbies. There is talk of asking Congress to spend $100,000,000 on jhips, the idea being to have the very best ships afloat, which is the cor rect idea and economy in the end, for there is no business or sense in building ships that wouldn't be a match for the ships of other nations that we might become embroiled with. England, Rus sia, Germany, and Japan are all building the finest types of war vessels that ship yards can turn out, and some of the best have been built in this country for other Governments. In fights at sea it is either win or lose, fight or run, so that if a vessel is not a match for the one it meets it must either strike its colors or run and if it isn't a faster runner than the other boat the game is up with it. This makes too things necessary in the modern war Yessel strength to deal and stand rough blows, and in the light class strength and speed combined, that they may fly quickly to attack strike quickly and fly again if need be beyond big gun range. A half dozen good ships built to stand the shock of battle would be better than a dozen that would have to keep out of the way of big guns. As well as being a mighty arm for defence in case of war a formid able navy is a splendid peace pre server, for other nations with ex posed sea coasts will -think several times before they strike a nation which is able to strike back and maybe strike harder than they can. Great Britain's bulwark -of defence and protection has been her navy. If it hadn't been for that, with the enmity that exists against her, she would have been demolished as a jroUd power long ago, but other nations feared to attack her single handed and were never able to ef fectcombinations enough to do it. The j navies of the world have been transformed within half a cen tury and with the transformation sea defence has become a very cost ly thing. These are days of steel armored ships, with ponderous ar mament, compared with which the guns of the wooden ships that pre ceded them were popguns. In the days of wooden ships a navy could be put afloat in a short while and kept afloat at a comparatively small cost, whereas now it takes a year or more to build a first class warship, which costs as much as a dozen first class ships did when built of wood. ; " Nations which aspire to rity is worth some millions of dollars, for what do dollars in the treasury amount to when people's slumbers are broken by dreams of hostile ships throwing hot shelf and projectiles charged with "nasty ex plosives into their towns? The whole country was laughing at poor, scared Boston, but the whole coun try wasn't as near salt water as scared Boston was but there were other towns that didn't' feel comfortable, although they didn't 'become' hysterical and cry out in their fright as Boston did. Perhaps they were ashamed to hollow before they were hit, but they discussed, all the same, the possibility of those Spanish ships, which never hove in sight, standing out at sea, and throwing big sliot several miles inland. ' Like the fellows on the frontiers who may never need a gun, but when they do need it, need it mighty soon and mighty bad, so we may never have much need for a powerful navy, but when we do, we may have a good deal of use for it, and we should have a good up-to-date one. r 1 - A ' juRGEST STOVE PLANT W THE W0Rl5lj .A ' to 1 1 r I Jewel Stoves and Ranges --Keep Confirm: Comforiaye Famous for thirty-fire year.

BEERY, 10 Market St., Wilmington, N. C. APPLX-GROWnro Iff THE KOTJff- tacts. We have written frequently of apple-growing in North Carolina and the possibilities of that indus try when it is intelligently pursued and methodically managed. We are interested in it because North Carolina is an apple-growing State from one end to the other, and be cause with all the advantages for making this a profitable industry the apple has never received the at tention or consideration to which it value entitles it. While orchards are numerous, and some of them large, they receive, as a rule, little care, and while a good many apples are marketed in the State and out of it, the sales increasing annually, the picking and marketing is too often done in a careless, slovenlv . - way which deprives the marketer of much of the profit and does in jury to others by ' damaging the reputation of the apples grown in the' State. There are exceptions, f however, to both of these objections, one of which is thus told of by a Waynes ville correspondent of the Charlotte Observer,1 after a talk with' Mr. J. E. Hall, one of the leading apple growers of Western North Caro lina. In speaking of his methods he said: ' that annexation might conflict with. These oppose it and they will, of course, have more or less of a fol lowing. The masses of the people are divided, that is those of them who take any interest in the matter, one way or the other, and these will be influenced by the leaders of the respective factions. But there will be opposition to it in Congress coming mainly from, the Republican side, as indicated by the editorial utterances of some of the leading Republican papers, papers, too, which have been strenuous ad vocates of the annexation of Porto Rico, Hawaii and of the forcible annexation of the Philippines. The main reason given for opposition to the annexation of Cuba is the mixed character of the population, the difficulty of assimilating it and making out of it a good American citizenship, but the real unacknowl edged reason is the possible effect annexation might have on the sugar growers and makers and tobacco growers of this country. Free sugar and tobacco will not suit the sugar cane growers of this country, the sugar beet growers, the beet s agar makers nor the Sugar Trust, and they will have their represent atives in Washington when this matter comes up for discussion. Cnba will not get in if they can keep her out and they probably can. CURRENT COMMENT. "In gathering my apples I assort them into their grades firsts, seconds and thirds. After pulling them from toe. trees I put them in barrels, which I pack away in the apple houte until the price justifies a sale. The best time to gather is from the 80th ot September to the 10th of October. "The tricking is done by small boys. All care possible is taken not to bruise the fruit "I cultivate my trees. In the Spring and early Summer months I plow the ground with a shallow harrow and then sow in peas in July. The apples are larger and more bountiful when culti vated, out the sod ground makes an apple ihat will keep better. I cannot explain why .these facts are so. But cultivate the ground antrtheield is more certain and more prolific and the fruit large, but more apt to rot.

A French physician who has been investigating the corset and hat question declares that only 30 per cent, of the women who wear cor sets retain their health, while 25 per cent die of pulmonary diseases and 15 per cent, become victims of or ganic derangements. He therefore proposes a law to prohibit any wo man under 30 years of age from wearing a corset under penalty ot three months in prison and a fine of $193. He also proposes to regulate the weight of hats, for the heavy hats the women wear, with flnwnr gardens' or ornothological museums on them, press the skull too much and cramp the brain. Mrs. Roosevelt has sent a hand kerchief "wonderfnl in design and workmanship" to the Baltimore Daughters of the Confederacy, who are getting up a fair to raise money to build a monument to the Mary land soldiers who fell fighting for the Stars and Bars. She also sent a beautiful letter expressing the hope that the fair would prove a great success. With the handkerchief Governor General Wood has issued orders for a seawall and other improvements at Santiago, which will involve the expenditure of hundreds of thousands 'of dollars. Now if Cuba is ours her cities should be given the same treatment as ours if not, what have we to do with them ? Jacksonville Times- Union, Dent. The uses to which Texas oil is to be put are multiplying every day. Experiments are now to be made by the Great Northern rail road in the Cascade tunnel to de termine the merit of assertions made by engineers that oil fuel keeps air in tunnels clear. Heavy locomotives are being fitted with devices for burning oil and an order has been placed at Beaumont.-i-Houston Chronicle, Ind. The Indianapolis Journal, which is a good Republican paper, observes that "the trend of remarks in the (Republican) Reciprocity Convention at Washington is that each speaker desires it for everv other industry than that in which he is interested." That is, desires the price of reciprocity to be paid by other industries than his own. As the Courier-Journal remarks; there is evidently "fun ahead" for the infants. Charleston- News and Courier, Dem. In Kansas this year 91,000,- 000 bushels of wheat, worth to the farmer at first hand $51,000,000, were harvested. The corn crop of 42,000,000 bushels was worth $22, 000. It is this outturn of wealth in Kansas and the similar prosperity of the farmers in other States that keep the wheels turning, keep bus iness active and the balance of trade on the right side of the ledger. A propitious providence and persis tent digging are the great factors in I tne present speculative boom which political theorists prefer to attribute to Government polioies. Careful observers have noted that when the crops fail the policies also fail; but this does not daunt your theorist. Philadelphia Record, Dem.

To the many American' commodities with which England Is supplied there is now to be added the United States chicken, In which already an enormous Import trade is being; done. As yet the industry is, comparatively speaking, in Its early youth, but so great has been the demand that one nrm alone is al ready sending-150,000 dozen birds year ly to this country, and the trade is In creasing. A DaJly Mail representatlye who made inquiries ' in ' the Central and LeadenhaU markets was Informed that the AmeMcan chickens were doing well in England mainly because the birds were of good quality and, furthermore, for the reason that they were1 packed In uuiv wiij ,r ue Duyer. it was also pointed out that the many advan tages offered by the American railways for the conveyance of live birds from the breeding places to Chicago resulted in the poultry arriving at the slaughter place in prime condition. When; fro , e. 'they are packed in cases of one dozen each and sent right on to Lon don. ' The view i very general among in, portert that the American chicken1 will ot compete to any extent lth the English product but with the Btfsslan fowl, which Is already finding a dan--gerous rival in the" United States bird. In proof of this there Is the assurance of one flrm that, yearly imports im mense 'quantities of Bussian poultry to LEnglahd that next year great improve ments in feeding, selection and packing are to be made hrthe Bussian trade. - Meanwhile the consumer will wonder " j er neen a. cmcaen labeled either "Russian" or "Ameri can,' and -the" inference . must be ' that both are sold for whatever the custom er may like to think them.
