T. C. Willis, father of Mr. J. K. Willis, assisted in-4 constructing this vessel. Work on the boat was begun in 1S62 and was not completed until 1864. It "was a vessel of tremendous propor tions and whe a fully equipped with its fighting paraphernalia, was, it is said a very formidable looking man o'war. The builders of 'ihi vessel intended that it should draw but a few feet of water- and by doing this could - safely navigate the shallow-, waters of this section. 1 However, when completed and equipped with the' heavy :gun3,' it was found that she drew a considerable depth of water: Regardless of this she was launched and be fortune would have it did noC&tick; in the hiud at that time. -'X - ' - A short time latei' orders were re ceived by the captain of the vessel to bring it" to New Beifri to be used at this point. The start' was made amid the applause of the hundreds of Con federates who were lined on the banks of the river and every available dock. The first; twd miles pf 'the trip- were made in safety but near the end of the thrid.:.mile from Kinston the vessel stuck - in the mud and although every possible effort was made she could not be floated.'... - Aftet holding a consultation the captain-and his officers sent a messnge to the general in charge of the maneu vers in this section and asked what disposition'"- should be ' made of ' the vessel,! that it was impossible to get her out of the mud. Rather than let the vessel fall into the-hasds of the Federal forces it was set afire and destroyed! .AFTER ANOTHER BILLION. , Washington, 1 Nov. - 21.

Neither name u( the ' firms nor the ; cities in which the arrests were to be made were made public at the Postoffice Department,. - Because of the fact that the arrests are made ' under . secret.- indictment and that there may be difficulty in serving some of the warrants if the names of the .indicted firms are made public, the '. deportment refused -absolutely to name the defendants. : ' The department' drag net is out for everv conceivable sort of medical quack the "specialist,- maternity doctor "healers" and "cure" venders.

Robert Smith, a: young white man convicted at the October term of Craven County Superior Court on a charge of the larceny of several boxes of cigars from- M. L. Jacobs &.

They now have enough shells' in sight to put oil about one block and after this supply is exhausted if more shells " can be secured the work will be continued Before the shells are placed, the road way is rounded up and put in con dttton ;.to receive them v . 1 hey are then placed on the road several inches deep and as the town-does not own a steam roller the regular traffic is allowed to cruuh them. - This is done within a few weeks and the road is then 1u excellent condition and will remain in that condition' for several years.
