Mo. 70 WukU. & C. NAVAL MILITIA STAND FIRST TARGET PRACTICE IN THE U. S. The United States torpedo boat} Foot* alter undergoing repair* it the Norfolk Navy Yard, /rami which die wa? recently returned to thia port for the uae of the Sixth Division North Carolina Naval Militia, is in excellent con dition. - Under the command of Com mander Charles L. Morton, exec utive officers, . Ljeut. W. B. Rod mail, Jr., And, Lieut. J. J. Brab Ue, Ensign Robert W. Small, Capt Jas. H. Harris navigating officer and Will Taylor, engineer" ing officer, and with a crew of ? bout forty seamen, tho Foote ?teamed from thia port last Sat urday night for Oriental, return ing at 9 o'clock Sunday night. The aaaets the town realizes from the Foote being stationed here amounts to $1,000 each month, which is distributed in the purchase of ooal, oils and sal aries to the regulars from the United Starts navy who are kept aboard as ship's keepen The business men of the city should cooperate in allowing their clerks to join the naval militia .and ' the proposed military com pany. In a conference with Commander Morton we find that the naval militia are heartily in favor of the organization of the military company. There is no reaaon why Washington should not afford at the least one hun dred and ten for both organiza tions which would assure the suc cess of bout. It is well to again inform the people of the State that North Carolina stands first in target practice among tho naval militia of the United States with a per centage of .667. Maine comes next with a percentage of .681. The first battalion inclndcs New Bern. Washington, and Belbaven which ranks first in the state, giv ing them the record of being eham pious of the United States. ItEOOPDER'S COURT.

(By Edward Bryan Andrews.) Lear*j?[Belf-reliancei A fool can write if some one holds and guides his hand. It takes mind and will to use and guide one's own hand. The world doeei not care to know what you can' do with some one to stand by and show you how and when to do it. The world does want to know what yon can do when yon are alone. The employer wants to know what the would-be employe can do when thrown upon his resour ce?. The weakling leans upon some one else. The strong man stands upon his own feet. Learn self-reliance! The aolf reliant man has a mind of his own He holds no convictions except those upon which he in willing to. act and upon which he is ready to stake hie reputation. The great moments of your life are Jiassed alone. 'Your great decis ons for good or for evil yon must make for yourself. Receive advioe with an open mind then form your own con clusions and act upon them. Gather wisdom fronr your mis f takes. Let no man dominate yrtnr intellect or will, or heart. Tf yon succeed in business or in life, let it be through self-reliance VIBITTNG AT VANDEMER. Mrs. W. A. Bloimt is spending several dev with her daughter Mrs. S. L. Laughingi nghoute, at Va?dinn*re.
