- A'Paris dLspatch of the 2nd
says:
"The j esult of the secret test
ing cJ.ttt four submarine boats
built for the government has
been ouch that it is probable the
: Mi aister of Marine will stop the
building of any more battleships
as a mere waste of money, and
or dcvr the construction of twenty
sub-ir nine boats. -
"The new type is the famous
Gustave ede, with many im
provements." It o uis that there is somebody
oil 'lie other side of the Atlantic
equol or superior to our man
Holland in maniplating a dan
gerous naval enemy.
Does it mean that in the near
future curjiaval outfit will con
sist of a number of vessels whose
mode will be to duck down under
water and only re-appear to send
a tarpedo that shall annihilate
whatever it strikes. ?
It is interesting anyhow to
look back and see our drifts in
styles of lighting craft. . .
In the first periods of the cen
tury we had wooden vessels
easily bored through if hit. We
began to iron the sides with the
hope of making walls that would
withstand cannoii shots.
During the war between the
States two new styles sprang
into publ:c notice and contested
fcr t supremacy in the famous
battle of the Monitor and the
Merrimic. The latter was
shaped something like the top of
a hip-roofed- house with garret
wi-dows for port holes. It
seemed impregnable but the
style did not take. f : "
The Monitor was Eriesson's
... idevf L vessel which- could be
let down in the water to the very
deck and nothing was exposed
but a revolving, circling turret
which could hardly be hit, with
the veryleast chance of pene
trating it ;
Ericsson thought he had revolu-
t i on izede style of. -the vessels;
but it was soon found that these
vessels were so uncomfortable
for ihe mariners as to be prac
tically out of the question. They
do not suit ' eithc jrfqr tordo
warfare nor for Wea'rdsslAg
.nor sea fighting, being too easily
affected by the waves. X
- The modern war vessel is a: big
two or three cieck concern wi,t
guns every where, even on J)iat
:f orms high up on great mast
. . poles. r:-v.-;-' Ir:"' "1 " : .
These huge floating batteries
are comfortable for the men and
well suited to fight tarpedoes that
can be seen. They are suitable
for -tricing good aim. But alas,
if the tarpedo, boats are to come
under water tillreadyto fire and
BLOW FROM AJi UNEXPECTED
SOURSE.
Now, we have the anomaly of
Presid ent McKinley, the very
apostle of the protective tariff,
crying , out against trusts and
combinations forr destroying
competition, and raising prices
to the consumer. We could ap
preciate his repudiation of his
former hobby or his defense of
trusts, but his position reminds
us of one of- Vance!s figures of
speech that represented a fellow
at the old water wheel mill.. He
pulled the gate wide , open- and
when the mill was running at
destructive speed he called to
the mill force, that the mill was
runhing too fast and things were
going to pieces. - There was no
thought of closing the water
gate. Let Congress take off all
the tariff on trust goods and we
will have less of which to com
plain. Those utterances from
the President were the least to be
expected of one entirely sin
cere. The Atlanta Journal's
cartoon well represents "A blow
from an unexpected source. " ,
Nearly eight . hundred bills
and resolutions were . introduced
in the Senate Tuesday. It seems
like smothering congress at the
start. a - ...
GOING OUT AND COMING IN,
In that land was j oy and sorrow,
where an infant first drew
breath, .
While an aged sire was drawing
near unto the - gate of

His feeble pulse was failing and
his eye was growing
dim .
He was standing: on the thresh
old, when they brought
the babe'to him ;
While to murmur forth a bless-
i ag on the lt Lie ooe he
.. .tried, : i r :
In his trembling armsliei raised
it, pressed 5t to his'lips,
: - and died.

Singular Accident. .
A Rocky Mount dispatch of the
5th says:,-, What came near" be
ing a very, serious accident oc
curred yesterday evening. The
Rocky Mount Mills railroad
passes in what is known as the
"tobacco town" near the grocery
store of R L Datfghtridge. While
passing the store yesterday, one
of the cars of a train on its way
to the mills left the track and
plunged into the , store, making
of it a total wreck. Mr. Daugh
tridge, who was in tha store at
the time was badly hurt." , ,
As a cure for rheumatism ' Chamber
lain's Pain Balm is eraininga 'wide
reputation. D B Johnston of Richmond,
Ind., has been troubled - -with that
ailment since 1862. In speaking: of it
he says; 'I never found anything that
would relieve - me until - I - used
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, . It acts like
magic with me. .My foot was swollen,
and paining me very much, but "one
goodrapplication of Pain Balm relieved
me; For sale by M L Marsh & Co.
