Crops and fruits throughout the county

recent unfavorable weather. Some cotton

suffer material injury. Young corn is bad

necessary. The fruit trees have been in
jured, though to no great extent.
A shrewd white man of good appear

blind tigers. fine of not less than 500
will be imposed upon any violator of the

SHIPS 9F THE VIRGINIA CLASS.

Department May Increase ArmOr
Thickness and Size of Guns.
Washington, April 25.-The Navy De-
partment has about concluded that the
new batteships of the Virginia class
shall have armor a six inches thickness
in casemate and from seven to eleven
inches side armor. This is about the same
as the armor on the ships now building.
Chief attention is now being given to the
batteries OF the new ships. Although no
conclusions have been reached there is a
tendency toward substituting seven-inch
guns in the broadside batteries in place
Of six-inch weapons. 1t is said that this
change would permit the broadside guns
10 penetrate one-inch more armor than
at present, at a range of 5000 yards and
will materially increase the effectiveness
Of the guns in other respects.
