The Palmetto Post wants the Georgia
and South Carolina Congressman to urge
upon Congress the consideration of the
advantages Of Port Royal as a location
for a navy yard. The disposition just

many other needed reforms he would not
be required to devote so much time md

If Lieut. Greedy and his party are alive
and can survive the exposures of another
Arctic winter, it will stand them we'll in
hand to start out early in the spring to
