How to Get Rid of Icebergs.

One of the greatest dangers to Atlantic
navigation, and therefore of great prac-
teal interest to seamen, passengers and
owners Of ships, is the possibility of col
lisions with icebergs. This year these
huge products OF Artic winters have
been unusually common, and it is stated
that more than twenty have been sight
ed in the course of twenty-four hours in
the track Of steamers plying from New
York to Liverpool or the Clyde.
A correspondent III The London Times
makes suggestion that these icebergs
might be used us targets by cruisers,
and thus broken up and dispersed. The
suggestion is well received in England,
and it is urged that the British meteor
illogical department follow the example
O. that Of the United States, and mark
ON charts the area within which icebergs
are to be expected. The captain of a
cruiser setting out with such charts in
his possession would have compare
lively easy task in finding where the
target hoated at which he was to fire.

after the interest of the State in the
matter are urging the people to think
of and prepare to make display of
the Old North State products that will
astonish the people of the world. If
Nor;h Carolina was properly adver-
tised, millions of foreign capital that
is seeking Investment in other States
would be devoting itself to the deyel-
opment or this State. All the State
needs to increase the amount of capital
that is coming to our borders is to let
our wonderful resources be known.
We have the natural resources. We
need men with money and energy.
We must have a broad spirit Of en-
terprise and progress if we would go
