NEW WARSHTPS TO BE BUILT.
Two Battleships, Three Armored Cruis'
ers and Three Protected Cruisers.

|
Washington, March 1S.-The house
committee on naval affairs reached a
final decision to-day as to the number OF
new warships to be authorized in the
| forthcoming naval appropriation bill as
| follows:
Two seagoing coast-line battleships of
about 13,50o tons each, to cost approxi-
mately $4,000 600 each; three armored
cruisers of the highest practical speed
and most powerful armor and arma-
ment, to cost approximately $4,O00,00O
each; three protected cruisers, to cost
about 81 ,141 900 each. 1t was determin-
ed not to provide any gunboats in view
of the opinion expressed by Secretary
Long and Admiral Dewey that General
Otis recent purchase of serviceable
boats of this character met present gun
boat requirements.
The committee decided to authorize
the secretary of the navy to contract
for armor at price not exceeding $545
per ton. This applies to the emergency
armor, about 7,400 tons, required for
the battleships Maine, Missouri and
Ohio, now in course of construction, and
not to the vessels authorized, but not
begun, nor to those contemplated by the
present bill.
The question of sheathing ships,
which has excited naval circles of late,
was determined by adopting a provision
leaving the question of sheathing to the
discretion of the secretary of the navy.
Prior to the action on the bill Naval
Constructor Capps, who served with
Admiral Dewey in the Philippines was
heard on the sheathing question. He
urged in particular that vessels to be
used in the foreign service should be
sheathed, as foreign drydocks were not
always available.
The committee did not provide speci-
fically for the building of any of the
new ships in government yards, as has
been urged by delegations from Brook
lyn and elsewhere so that it is expected
that the usual provisions as to building
will be inserted in the bill, with possibly
some discretionary power with the navy
department as to utilizing government
yards for this purpose. The decisions
of to-day practically complete the bill,
although there is still weeks work in
preparing the formal language express
ing the determination of the commit
tee.

ROOT PLEASED WITH CUBA
HE NOTICES RAPID STRIDES TO-
WARD SELF GOYERNMENT.

ence-Most Radical Cubans Also Adj
When the Island WIN be Turn cd Over.
Havana, March 15.-Secretary Root
said to-day to the correspondent of The
Associated Press that he had come to
Cuba to see for himself the workings
of the various departments and to in
vestigate the character of the work ac-
compished. He also desired to see as
| many representative men as possible
| to feel that he was in personal touch
! with the requirements of the island. He
now felt that the Cubans had done
wonders considering the nature of the
island and had made rapid strides to-
ward self government.
1T is necessary, of course, to pre-
pare TO rthis," said Mr.. Root, "by prac-
tical experience"
This work of preparation is deemed
necessary even by the most radical
Cubans. AS soon as proper explana-
tions are made to them, they recognize
that time must elapse before race, un-
acquainted with the simplest forms of
government, will become able to man
age public affairs absolutely without
assistance.
There is no doubt that the United
States will keep faith with the Cuban
people; and the joint resolution of con-
gress will be carried out. But just ex-
actly when, it is impossible to say. The
municipal elections, which will take
place on May /, will prove the first les
SON."
Referring to the reports Of possible
trouble in the island, Mr.. Root said:
These reports are the result of hyateria
or are circulated by those who for per-
sonal ends, wish to see turmoil" He
referred to the fact that presidential
elections in the United States required
several months of preparation in order
that they should be carried to a sue
cessful conclusion, and he pointed out
that the difficulties in Cuba were very
much greater. What was desired, he
said, was that the peasant in Cuba
should have equal rights and facilities

Cooperate

Cooperation of the brain ener-
gy and capital are the elements
of force that develop small things
into large ones. If the farmers
here would cooperate and agree
to plant certain lumber of acres
in potatoes, so much in beans, so
much in tomatoes, strawberries,
etc, they could ship their pro-
duee together in car load lots,
and not only that, but could sell
it for the cash right here on the
depot platform. If one hundred
acres of potatoes were planted
next spring, buyers would be here
before the crop was ready to ship.
The Northeastern Railroad Co., is
only too anxious to give rates,
etc, and assist the farmers in
any other way to develop this
southern pine country. Let the
farmers organize a truck-grow-
er's association, not of the "Hud-
son" brand, but one that is con-
Quoted on honest principles, one
that will finnish a system by
which all the farmers in this
county can work in harmony and
profit by each others experience.
If the farmers will come together
and organize we will give the mat,
ter publicity through the press
and assist in other ways to make
the farming industry thrive and
prosper. There is plenty of time
to get things in shape for next
spring, and there is no excuse for
the farmers to let the opportunity
go by. In union there is strength,
and while the moneyed class are
cooperating their power the
farmers can do the same and
make this old piney woods coun.
try come out and blossom like a
rose.

A Woman's Opinion.

Mrs. Hettie Green, said to be
worth 100000, 900, and the richest
woman IN America, has been Civ
ing her views on why SO many
young men fail. The interview
with Mrs, Green appears in the
Ladies Home Journal. She says:
1.-The trouble with young men
who work on salaries is that they
are afraid of doing more than
they are paid for. They don't
enter into their work with the
right spirit. To get on and be
appreciated, young man must
do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that
his employer has not thought of
he shows that he is yalua bic.
Men are always willing to pay
good salaries to people who will
think of things for them. The
man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another is
a mere tool. Men who can be
relied upon are always in demand.

QUESTION ANSWERED..

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world. Your mothers and grand
mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostitution or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower to clean out the
system and stop fermentation of an
digested food regulate the action of the
liver, stimulate the nervous and Oragnic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad
with headaches and other aches. You
only need few doses of Green's August

satisfied there is nothing serious the

on private business connected

that next to Lum berton he con-
sidered Hattiesburg or Laurel as
a more suitable place for the
