THE NAVAL BOARD COMES SOUTH.
They Will Consider Sites For Establishing
Torpedo Boat Stations.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, May 15.--The Naval Board
appointed to devise a scheme of practical
usefulness for the torpedo flotilla rapidly
nearing completion, today left for Pensa-
cola, Fla, where they will consider the
establishment of series of torpedo head
quarters along the gulf and Atlantic
coast. Although the plan is still embryo,
it is now practically decided to begin with
the establishment of three main divisions
one along the North Atlantic at some CEN
trail point, say New London Conn, an
other at convenient uoint on the South
Atlantic, probably at Port Royal, S. c.,
and a third on the Gulf of Mexico, proba-
bly, at Pensacola.
These opints are merely suggested thus
far and it is the purpose of the trip to
determine more definitely what points
offer the best facilities as central rendez-
@vous for a group of torpedo boats. When
these chief points are located the pur-
pose is to gradually add other stations
contiguous to the main points, until there
is a line of torpedo boat stations ex-
tending along the Atlantic and Gulf
coast In time of peace these opints
would serve chiefly as yards and depots
where the small craft could be drawn out
of water part of the time, and in time
of war they would be part of the strategic
defense of the country, giving the en-
tire coast protection against attack from
unexpected quarter.

THE FRUIT FAIR FAILS
Truck and Fruit Growers are
Too Busy.
Department Of Agriculture Abandons the Pro-
lee! as But Eighteen Parties Were
Ready to Make Exhibits

There will be no Truck and Fruit
Growers Fair held in Charlotte and
Raleigh.
Preparations had been made for fair
of this kind to be held in Charlotte on
May 22nd and 23d, the exhibits to be
then removed to Raleigh and fair held
in the State Museum.
Mr.. T X. Bruner, Secretary of the
North Carolina Department of Agricul-
ture, has been doing all that was pos
sible to have this fair, but this will not
be held, the reasons being stated in the
following letter which Mr.. Bruner sent
to parties who proposed making/~ ex-
hibits, which reads as follows:
1.-The proposed Truck and Fruit Fair
to be held at Charlotte and Raleigh
next week, has, at the last moment
been abandoned This action became
imperative by reason of the failure of
the growers to respond with the ma
terial for exhibition. The Department
of Agriculture generously agreed to pay
the expenses attendant upon such a
shcw of the produce of our eastern
farms as would reflect credit upon both
the grower and the department. The
grower, who was to be benefited by
the exhibition, was only expected to
supply one crate or package of the best
product of his farm, which was to have
been shown fully labelled with his name
and address. But as only eighteen
growers responded to this appeal it was
found impossible to make an exhibit
at all commensurate with the great
trucking interest of our eastern coun-
ties. or to meet the wishes of the De-
partment Of Agriculture in presenting
that interest to the people of the west
ern part of the State.
This failure to respond is not con-
sidered as arising from lack of in
terest in the subject, but rather from
want of time, in the rush of the ship
ping season, to give attention to the
matter. However, the result precludes
the possibility of making an exhibit
this year. 1t is hoped that by another
year something may be done along this
line.
Thanking you for the interest you
have personally manifested in this mat
ter. Il am,
Yours very truly,

Secretary.
