y.iue Of IN. Personnel.

1t is by reason of wars that navies ex-
list, and a navy's right of being rests only
on its ability to bear itself bravely and
ably In conflict on the sea. To the de.
velopment of its strength for this, all
efforts in peace should turn. The teach-
ing of history has, time and again, shown
that. of the factors of naval strength,
there is none so vital as the personnel.
Ships, arn,or. ordnance, may be without
superiors, but, II tie man Dehind me
gun or the man pefoie che furnace-fire
fails in battle, the flag must Le lowered
in defeat. Therefore, we should consider
well the personnel. # it be not effective;
all other effort to build up the fleet will
be as nothing in the end. Spain, in the
most crushing defeats of all naval his
tory. has met the disaster which surely
follows an obsolete and neglected per-
sonnet. Her sInvincible Armada" put to
sea at a time when the sailor was a
vital element of navies; but, lingering IN
the past, she still kept the soldier para
mount in her f~eets.-North American Re-
view for December.

Deafness Canno! be Cured

by local applications, as they can
not reach the diseased portion OF
the ear. lnere is only one way
to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infamed condition
of the mucous lining of the l'us
tachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound Or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result. and unless the intlam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever: nine cases out of ten are
caus d by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of Deafness (caus
ed by catarrh) that can not be

A dispatch from Rockford,

Mayor Brown and Chief
of Police Bargen were in CHS
cago to-day arranging for
transportation to the South
of the negroes who came here
to work with a railroad bal>
lasting crew, and have been
on the city's hands for sewers
al days. The colored men
will probably leave Tomorrow
The Coroner's Jury will on
Saturday resume the invests
cation into the deaths of Miles
Lee and George Woodward,
negroes who were killed."
These poor negroes were
induced, by offers of good
pay in cash to go from the
South to Illinois to work to
earn their daily bread They
were assailed, two at least
killed, and, practically back
ed by the Republican Governs
or of that; State were denied
the privilege Of working.
Now, to prevent them from
becoming public charges, the
city authorities Of Rockford
have determined to furnish
them tickets to their former
Southern home, which the
poor darkies most gladly ac-

GRADUALLY GROWING BETTER.

Talking with one of our
leading merchants a few days
ago we were pleased to learn
that the annual per centage
of trade coming to Southern
Pines, is gradually increasing
and that, in his opinion, there
must be an increase this sum-
mer of at least 8per cent.
This establishes the fact
that people in different and
remote sections of the county
as we'll as adjoining counties,
are realizing that in Southern
Pines they can get what they
want; and it also warrants
the assertion that our town
is gradually becominga trad>
ing center for the majority of
people within a radius of
thirty miles.
This is a pleasing state of
affairs, and if our business
men will unite to advertise a
little more and make a more
specific bid for the business
of this section, the rate of in
crease will show up to much
better advantage when next
we wish to make a comparison.
And we call attention to
the announcement of a Trad>
ers' Convention in another
column; it has been started by
those whe<intend to make a
successfFit if possible, ands|
the aid of the business people
is most respectfully asked for.

BOYCOTT BY ALL THE GIRLS.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 3. AS
a result of the disgraceful pro-
ceedings following the night
shirt parade of the university
students Monday, the young
women of Ladies' hall held a
mass meeting yesterday after
noon and passed a resolution to
abstain from having any social
intercourse with the young men
OF the university or to attend
any parties until the property
stolen from the hall laundry be
returned, the guilty students
punished and ample reparation
made. The resolution had the
approval of President Adams
Dean Birge and Miss Emery,
dean of the women.
1t is said a number of iudis-
nant parents, in view of the in
suit shown their daughters,
will take them out of the uni
versity and place them where
they can be protected. The
stolen property is being slowly
returned, but in many cases it
is completely ruined and to add
to the aggravation is accom-
paniedtby the cards of innocent
students and townspeople. A
great deal has been photograph
ed and much still adorns the
rooms as trophies.
Owing to the boycott by the
young women, three dancing
parties arranged by Beta Theta,
Pi Phi Delta Theta and Theta
Dslta Chi fraternities have been
given up. The young men
make counter threats of bow
colt for the junior prominade.

He had evidently been a very
handsome man, originally, but
the fine lines of the face had
coarsened. the eyes were heavy,
the lips loose, the whole stamp
Of the countenance was a sod.
