The dull and monotonous spell whiob binds tbe life of the student body here has been suspended again, and tbe boys have another thing to talk about. A prominent lawyer whose name is Peokham, who owna a lot of property and is apparently J6tJ wealthy, came down here from bis borne in Mew xork a few days ago to look after his inter ests, and while here, the university people, knowing him to be a learned lawyer and expounder of the constitu tion, invited bim to give tbe students a talk, and he consented. He delivered clear, direct, political apeeob and spoke of Parker's chances for the pres idency. He declared be and Parker were strong personal friends, bnt said be belonged to tbe commonwealth party of New Tork. He lauded Cleve land to tbehigb empyrean, and praised bis exeellenoy, the President, Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, in words glowing aitb pride, and warm with eloqnenoe. He also spoke well ot Secretary of State Hay. Bryan and Hearst, however, he de nounced in strong words in a most empbatio manner, using many hostile epithets which portrayed bis feelings, not oonviotions, abont tbem. tiis abase was long and replete with the oratory of a politician's style. But be said that be did not know whether Parker could beat Hearst in New York.' Bryan, with him, politically, was dead. Many students went to tbe hotel with him after tbe speech and had a talk with bim. He appeared to be by no means a remarkable gentleman, altbongb it is said be is one ot tbe foremost and leading lawyers in New Tork city. Tbe students are indulging in much comment by way ot passing oft time about tbe aotion of the university in allowing Peokham to make such a ring ing and ronnding political spseob here, while tbe ooming ot William Jennings Brvan to deliver a moral address was so strongly opposed. The aotion bas not been commended. J4P4 . via ro ei is.

At the outset, Russia bad seven battleships, . not counting tbe Oilabya, wbieh was on its way to the Tellow 8ea; four armored cruisers, and the Dmitri Donskoi oom ing, and fourteen unarmored cruisers, with ten torpedo boats and destroyers. Japan's battleships numbered only seven, but they averaged zu per oent. heavier tban tbe Russians; her snven armored cruisers were, on the average, easily a match tor Rosaia'a ships of tbe same class, and she bad fourteen nnar mored cruisers, with seventeen destroy ers and sixty torpedo boats. With three ot the Ccar's battleships damaged and five cruisers crippled or destroyed, the balance of power is heavy indeed on the Mikado's side.

Captain I. 0. smith Wakes Up tbe Pal melt Capital. Tbe Columbia. C.) 8tate contains nearly two colnmna of compact mat ter describing the government work on the Congaree river and tbe advent at that city of our old acqnalntance, the Highlander, in command of our former townsman the veteran river naviga tor, Captain lames C, Smith. ...The closing part ot the article will be found very Interesting to our people, and is aa follows: While examining the work on the dams the party from Colombia ob served a lleht far oft down tbe river. Tbe watchman declared this to be fish ermen ont on the stream, bnt present ly there waa a noise unmistakably that of a steamer, and for an hoar tbe lights were watched eagerly as they swung closer to the city. First there waa one tiny apeck, then two, and finally the signal light waa seen clear ly, and then the. outline of the boat from bow to-aternTJie.aighlaiider stopped several hundred yards down the river from the dam and tied tip at the landing at old Granby one of the forgotten towns of South Carolina, a place once populous, now aa deserted sb is Hamburg, once Augusta's com petitor. Aa there Is a broad creek between the government works and the old Granby landing the visitors from the city engaged the services of a boat man and went down the river in a skiff to be the first to board the boat ot which so much is expected in behalf of Columbia's upbuilding. THl HIQHLANDIE A NIW BOAT. Tbe Highlander is a new boat, built in November, 1901, and every day that she has been in servioe she has been bandied by the veteran river master, Capt. Jas. C. Smith, who bas seen 32 years' servioe on inland water ways, and yet is willing to admit that he does not know alt about river chan nels. However, his suooesBful trip with tbe Highlander adds to his tame as a river oaptain, and he has brought the boat through in great shape. It is over a month since the steamer left Wilmington, having been, tied up at South port for nearly three weeks wait ing for the Atlantic ocean to offer a favorable opportunity for the ran down the coast to Georgetown. With Capt. Smith are the following officers of tbe orew: LeRoy Smith, mate; James Peoples, chief mate and F. T. Gaskill, ship carpenter. Mr. Gaskill is the tbe bnilder of the boat, and Capt. Smith declares it to be the sturdiest river craft he has ever managed in his 32yeais of navigation. The hull is four inches in tbioknees and will stand a lot ot hard knocks. Henry Iaard, a oolored pilot, oame with tbe boat and showed tbe way to Colombia, for bo had made the trip be fore with government tugs. ;Mr. LeRoy Smith stayed by tbe wheel all the time and made a careful chart ot the atream, giving in detail tbe location ot every apparent and every suspected ob struction. On tbe return trip he will use these memoranda as a gnide and will note the appearance of other ob structions. Id this way it may be pos sible to shorten tbe time in wbioh tbe trip oan be made. It is 49 miles from Columbia to the Santee, and this part of tb trip is made easily, for having bucked tbe IS foot rise in tbe Santee the skipper found that the ourrent of the Congaree had been obecked by the high water in the larger atream. AK IXPLOBIHO IXPSDITION. "From tbe way they tried to dicour age us in Georgetown," said Captain Smith, ''one would have thought that tbere was a stick of dynamite at every turn of tbe river, but we got through all right. We are on what is virtually an exploring expedition, and bad to keep a sharp lookout for snags. I don't know yet where the beBt water is and eau shorten the trip when I learn the river a little better." He has been a boat oaptain on the St. John's and St. Mary's rivers in Florida and tbe Cape Fear and Northeast riyers in North Carolina, and baa the air of a man of rare intelligence upon matters of river navigation. Tbere was but a small eargo aboard, the first people to receive consignments of groceries being Mtsirs. J. B. Friday and J B Gallant, who have aboard a shipment of molasses, and Mr. L. B. Dosier gets a consignment of fixtures for gas pipes. The Highlander will not return until a good consignment is aboard, as the initial trip has been very expensive. The river was low yesterday, one foot and nine inches above the very lowest, and Mr. Love is gratified that the boat has made the trip with no mishap iu suoh conditions. Tbe Highlander will be tied up at old Granby today, and Mr. Love will have the boat in readtooss for inspec tion by visitors. It is not an ocean steamer, not a pretentious vessel, but it will answer every purpose required of it, and is quite a "find." Columbia was able to get tbe use ot this boat without making a purchase, for tbere are too many boats operating on the Caps Fear- between Wilmington and rayetteville. Jit this venture pays, a second boat will be arranged for. Mr. Love stated last night tbat all he asks is a reasonable amount ot freight at a fair rate ot toll. THl BOAT'S DIM1N8ION8. While essentially a freight boat, the Highlander will earry passengers and has berths for 37. There are two niee staterooms for passengers in addition to the offioers' quarters and there is also the ladies' eabin with berths and the gentlemen's eabin with. a number of eoav bunks. The Highlander is 130 teat long over all, iuu ieet at the water line, and 23 feet wide on the beam. The wheel and the machinery are in the stern. Capt. Smith make tbe as sertion that a side wheeler lika the Clark would ba almost useless on the river. The Highlander draws 23 intones, and loaded to its toll oapaoity ot 123 tons will draw but 3t reet. Tba ton nage Is aanivalent to the oapaoity of six box ears, and with two trips a week, gs it Is expected tba regular aohsduia will afford, the Highlander ahouid do a lot ot hanllag between Columbia and tba coast, the . consignments being transferred to doean going vessels at Qaoraetown. When tba Columbia party got aboard the mats by request gave three long palls at tba whistle, and the deep, ma stoat notes reverberated over tba forest tellins? the oltv of Colombia that at 8:30 p. m. on the night ot the 20th ot Marob, 1W4, sbe baa beooma an "ioi . ootroi loot iaix , .

A business man, who travels much through the weatern part of Cumber land and In Moore and Randolph counties, Informed the reporter the other day that, strangely enough, tbere la a bit of old Weatern plankroad remaining between this place and the Seaboard Air Line R. R. two or three enda oi the plank jutting oot from the ljud. Que would have thought that tbe last trace had disappeared. -The young people, who drive and ride over the rolled, graded and convict-worked roada leading in different directions out of this city, of course know absolutely nothing of the old plankroad, of which Fayettevllle was the centre of perhaps the most exten sive system in tbe South. First the Western plankroad extended 120 miles to Salem in those days there was m Winston; the' Centre plankroad was built tpwatd Richmond county to Drowning Creek; there was another southward to Robeson county, and still another northward on the east side of Cape Fear River. When first laid, it was a spLndid highway; and, over and above its ex cellent service in lessening tbe hard ships of wagon transportation, Fayette ville folks made a regular holiday of taking long drives over its smooth wooden bed. But with the lapse of time, its failure to accomplish what was intended, tbe unprofitableness of the stock, and general neglect, it was allowed to fall into bad condition, and it became almost as bad as oordnroy across a swamp. There were two toll bouses on Hay aouot, one or two hundred yards above the standpipe, one for the Cen tre plankroad, kept by a man named Cowan, and the other kept by a man named Michem, the latter still stand ing. Midway between tbem, at the forks of tbe road, was an immense white sign, raised 30 or 40 feet above the ground, which bo.-e tbis warning to tbe Wagoner : "Five Dollars Fine tor Locking a Wheel on tbe Plank Track of this Road."

An article in the local oolomns of the Wilmington Messenger of Friday deplorea the fact that tbe cutting of erossties and sawing of lumber, wbiie temporarily creating a large industry, are injuring tbe turpentine business, and it will be only a few years when the turpentine business will have en tirely eeassd in sections where it was once engaged in largely.
