ItO-DATS STOMP. 1 ID i4 J AN EDITOR IN TROUBLE. Editor J. L. Ramsey, of the Progressive Farmer, has been sued for criminal libel by ex Judge W. R. Allen, of Goldss boro ; the provication being an editorial in the Farmer hi regard to the "oyster claims" against the State Treasury Later The libel suit of Judge Allen against Editor Ramsey, of the Progtessive Farmer, will come up for trial in Wayne Su perior court at Goldsboro next week. It is said that it will de- velope some sensational features touching the oyster cases out of which the alleged libel grew. It seems that the editorial com plained of by Judge Allen was not written by Ramsey, but by J. W. Denmaik, the business manager of the paper, and that Ramsey never saw it until after it was printed. As editor of the paper, however, he is responsi ble for it. WHAT TO TEACH BOYS. Parish Vitiitor. A philosopher has said that true education of boys is to "teach them what they ought to know when they become men." 1. To be true and to be gen uine. No education is worth anything that does not include this. A man had better not know how to read he had better never learn a letter in the alphabet, and be true, genuine in inten tion and in action rather than be learned in all sciences and all languages, to be at the same time false in heart and counter feit in life. Above all things, teach boys that truth is more than riches, more than earthly power or possessions. 2. To be pure in thought, language, and life pure in mind and in body. 3. To be unselfish. To care for the feelings and comforts of others. To be generous, noble and manly. This will include a genuine reverence for the aged and for things sacred. 4. To be selfsreliant and self helpful, even from childhood. To be industrious always, and self supporting at the earliest proper age. Teach them that honest work is honorable, that an idle life of dependence on others is disgraceful When a boy has learned these four things, when he has made these ideas a part of his being however poor or how ever rich he has learned the most import ant things he ought to know when he becomes a man.

HOOD'S PILLS are the only pills to take with Hood's Sarsaparilla. Easy and yet efficient. Here is about as much good advice in a few lines as you will find this week ; it is given by the Statesville Landmark : "The most effective way to treat the Mormons is to leave them severely alone.

Says that is His Opinion There is no Room for Doubt that the Destruction of ihe Maine Was Due to Spanish Agencies, and that Spanish Officials Were Cognizant of the Plan to De stroy the Vessel. Washington, D. C, April 1 2. Consul General Lee was before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for an hour late to day. He talked freely with the cora mittee in regard to the conditions in Cuba, and especially with reference to the destruction of the Maine. He said that in his opinion there "was no room to doubt that the destruction of the vessel was due to Spanish agencies. "Do you mean the Spanish authorities in Cuba," he was asked by a member of the com mittee. "I mean the Spanish offi cials," he replied, "but not Gen eral Blanco. I think some of the officials were cognizant of the plans to destroy the vessel, but I do not believe that the Cap tain General was." General I,ee said that he had no knowledge of the reports that a mine had been discovered by a diver under the Montgomery, while that vessel lay in Havana harbor. The Consul General did not arrive at the capitol until 5 o'clock. He came in a street! car, and was not recognized by the one or two hundred people who had congregated on the out side of the building to see him, but in the corridors at the en trance to the room of the Com mittee on Foreign Relations, he was recognized and given a hearty hand clapping. He res ponded with a bow and a smile and hastened into the committee room. THE MAINE DISASTER. Tie Manufacturer Who Sold Spain the Submarine Mine, Declares That He Can Frove That the Ship Was Wilfully Blown Up. London, April 13. The Daily Mail publishes this morning an interview with Jo.,eph Pannell Gibbons, the submarine expeet, in which he ridicules the Span ish denials of his statement as to the sale by him of submarine mines to Spain, and declares that he can prove that the U. S. warship was wilfully and delib erately blown up. What is more, according to the Daily Mail's reports, he thinks it possible to reduce the explosion to the act of two men or even to one individual. 99 99999999999999999 I Weak i Lungs It u- coughed until the lining mem brane of your throat and lungs is inflamed, Scott's Emulsion I (ft of Cod-liver Oil will sooth, strengthen and probably cure.

OTt House Adops Resolution Empowers Presi" dent to use Naval and Land Forces to Stop War in Cuba at Once and Pro vide Stable and Independent Gov ernment of Cubans. War And Navy Departments Preparing for Hostilities The American Line Steamers St. Paul and St. Louis Purchased. Otlicr Purchases Ordered. SPAIN PREPARING FOR WAR. The Situation Considered Most Serious Even by "Peace" Woodford. Any Movement to Avert War Must Now Come From Madrid and Must Con cede American Demands. There is no longer any doubt as to the purposes of this gov ernment with respect to the sit uation in Cuba War, in the opinion of the administration, is inevitable, except in the unlook ed-for event of a surrender on the part of Spain. The resident's Message went to Congress Monday at noon. The message asks Congress to authorize and empower him to take measures to secure full and final termination of hostili ties in Cuba He says he has exhausted every resource to re-, lieve the situation, and now leaves the issue with Congress. The message was referred to Committee. x Wednesday the House of Rep resentatives, after one of the most exciting and memorial days in its history, by a vote of 322 to 19, adapted a resolution which nine-tenths of its mem bers believe makes war with Spain inevitable. The resolutions adopted direct the President to intervene at once in Cuba, to restore peace and secure to the people of the island "a suitable and independ ent" government of their own, and authorize him to use the army and navy to execute the purpose of the resolutions. The sessions of both the Sen ate and House were extensively exciting, and eloquent and im passioned oratory was the order of the day. No such keen and brilliant reportee has been known since the civil war. Mr. Davis for Committee on foreign relations offered a resolution on Cuban situation which went over, under the rules, until to day. The resolution is a terri ble arraignment of the Spanish manner of conducting the war fare in Cuba and is aggressive and unambiguous Mr. Ledge made a splendid appeal for pre servation of national honor. During the height of the ex citement the lie was passed be tween Mr. Brumm, (Rep. of Pennsylvania) and Mr. Bartlett, (Dem. of Georgia), and a dis graceful scene followed that al most descended to the level of a free fight. Later the two members found that the altercation had arisen out of a misunderstanding' whereupon there were mutual apologies. The War and Navy Departs ments are actively preparing for hostilities. Probably the most significant action at the Navy Department was the issue ot instructions to the Naval Auxiliary Board at New York for the immediate purchase of the ocean grey houuds, St. Louis and St. P;.ul, of the American Line, the pur, chase of another first-class auxs iliary cruiser, probably the Yorktowu, of the Old Domin ion Line and the purchase of the Brazilian cruiser Nictheroy. The last named vessel is about to be inspected, and the lesult will determine the question of her acquirement by the United States navy. The purchase of the St. Paul and the St. Louis is probably the most expensive transaction consumated by the Navy De-Tj partment since the beginning of the war excitement. The amount paid for them is an offi cial secret, but is known to be somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000,000. The tonnage of these vessels is 11.629 gross and 5,87 5 net each ; they are 535.5 feel loug. 63 feet beam and 504 feet deep, and have twin acrews. The hulls are of steel, with ten water tight compartments and four decks, and are fitted for carry ing water ballast, The engines of the St. Paul are of 20,000 horse power and of the St. Louis 18,000 horse power, The St. Paul's speed record is 21.08 knots per hour. The St. Louis' Speed record is 20.87 knots per hour. " At noon Wednesday the naval strategic board went into session and called Consul-General Lee into 'the conference. The session was a long one and was devoted to a thorough discussion of offensive move ments in Cuban waters, General Lee being able to give the board much valuable information re garding the defenses of Havana. Crowding close upon the heels of these events was the news that the flying squadron had raised anchors - and put to sea. This fact caused intense excitement in all quarters and finally elicited the official state ment that the squadron had m rely gone to sea for a short practice cruise. SPAIN WILL RESIST. Minister Carrea savs Spain is resolved to repel every attact on the Sovereignty of Cuba. A. Madrid war preparations continue and the opinion pre vails that the controversy must be settled by resort to arms. . Woodford, even, thinks chances for peace are now out of the question. Purchase of New York and Paris, Also One Thousand Pack Mules for Army Uses in Cuba. Washington, April 14. There is increased activity at the War and Navy Departments this morning. The Secretary of the Navy has about closed negos tiations for the purchase or lease of the American Line steamers New York and PM-is. The St' Paul and St. Louis were secured yesterday. These vessels, it is thought, will be used to transport troops to Cuba. After a consultation with General Lee, the War De partment has become cons vinced that army wagons can not be used in Cuba and the Secretary is authorized to pur- chase a thousand pack, mules to be assembled in St. Louis for shipment South. WILL TRY TO REACH A VOTE. Before The Close of To Days Session. Washington, April r4 No idea can be obtained when a vote will be taken on the For eign Relations Committee resos lutions reported yesterday. A report is in circulation that an effort will be made to reach a vote before the close of to days session, even if it lasts all night, but the proposition at this wri ting is not meeting with favor. The general belief is that debate will continue until tc morrow, and possibly run along until Saturday night. Resolutions of Respect. The undersigned committee appointed to draft resolutions upon the death of our beloved brother, James Spires, beg leave to submit the following : Whereas, the Great Spirit, in his supreme wisdom, has called away from our Council ire, our beloved brother, to the great Wigwam above, there fore be it Resolved, 1.

Norfolk, Va., April 14- Nothing ss yet has been seen of the flying squadron,. whicli ?ft Hampton Rhodes yesterday afternoon. It may be that they are evoluting at sea and at the same time looking out for that Spanish fleet, whose movements seem mystifying. The ugly old ram, Katahdin, was left behind and the Vesuvius has gone to Newport to get amunition for her peculiar dynamite guns. The torpedo boat Rodgers took a run out to sea yesterday, and besides testing her machins ery, "broke in" the green crew she has on board. The Montgomery and Vicks- burg are about ready to sail from here, while the Newark's repairs will, it is said, take two more weeks. The mosquito fleet could be hurried away at a few hour's notice. The steamship Miami has ar rived here. She will be con verted into a collier and also have an armament aboard. The Miami has been engaged'in cai- rying Americans from Havana to Key West. Lieutenant Wiley, of the Dex ter, has been ordered to the Manning. The men of the rev enue cutters Hamilton aud Win dom expect sailing orders by Saturday. Washington, April 14. Sec retary Long has issued peremp tory written orders directing the chief of the Navigation Bu reau to withhold all information regarding the arrival or depart ure of warships and to make no answers to questions about the movements of vessels. Other bureaus have been instructed to give no information to the press. The Navy Department is shut tight so far as news is concerned. Secretary Bliss, Senator Han na and Senator Hale called on Secretary Long this morning, by appointment, to learn defi nitely the movements of the flying squadron. They repre sented the peace element aud wanted to be assured that Com modore Schley will not commit any overt act and place the United States in the position of an aggressor, which, in their opinion, would be unfortunate and unwarrented. Senator Hale will speak in Senate this afternoon. He wanted the most accurate infor mation in regard to the move ments of the squadron. The squadron is simply out for a practice drill.
