The Growth of America.


The growth of the United States during
the past century from thirteen small and
comparatively insignificant colonies to a
great power is unparalleled in the his

Britain (September 3, 1888 following the
establishment of independence, fixed the
boundaries of the United States as: The
Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico. the
Mississippi River. and the Great Lakes

with England qsl2-1S15) gave to America
that splendid prestige upon the sea which

HER LOVER AT LAST.
BY Maurice Johnson.

Ny chance had come at last; and
yet |, who had thrilled so often with
the dear hope of it, was half of mind
to let that chance go by. l called
myself fool hundred times that
evening for all my doubts and fears.
IL was absurd TO fear at all, told my

TO turn from the steadfast promise
which she made? Should l not, at the
latest, be back inside three years
Back with the rewards of steady
work to see my love again. Yet the
fear was in my heart and would not
go. Fear of her firmness under the
pressure of her family, for her father
almost laughed at me. Fear of the
power of Classy, the other in the field;
but never, surely, in her own sweet
love.
For the last time we walked that
evening from Cheam to Ewell, and
back again under the ridge to the vii
lage. Past the white palings which l
knew SO well, past the fountain and

This Punishment inflicted on a Miesi-
sippi Negro for Criminal Assault

Gulf Port, Miss, November A
negro who's name has not yet been
a~scertained was burned at the stake
in Perry county, Miss, Saturday night.
The crime for which the negro was
burned was committed early Saturday
morning. Mrs. Fortenberry. the wife
of a prominent country gentleman.
was the victim She was attacked.
beaten into Inconsistencies, and GRIM
inaliy assaulted by the negro.
After recovering consciousness, while
vet almost too weak to move, she began
crying for help. Within a short time
assistance reached her and she told the
story of the crime The negro was de-
scribed and a posse organized and a
search began for the criminal
A negro answering the description
given by Mrs. Fortenberry was caught
and carried back to the home and there
identified by Mrs. ~Fortenberry herself
She stated positively that he was the
brute who had committed the crime.
The nerve of the negro gave way
then and he made a confession of his
crime. telling all the details he had
previously denied. An informal cour
was organized by the members of the
posse and the trial resulted in a de.
cision to burn the negro. He was car.

CHARLESTON NAVAL STATION
Ofhcial Report Giving Details of Pro.
posed improvements

Washington, November 2.-The report
of the nava board, headed by Rear
Admiral Henry c. Taylor, charged with
the preparation of plans for the new
naval station at Charleston, S. c., gives
in detail all the improvements deemed
necessary at Charleston for the INSTALL
alton of the building of the station. 1t
proposes that Cooper river be dredged
to a depth of thrity-two feet below
mean low water and that the dredged
material be deposited so as to raise the
grade six feet above high water to
guard against any danger of flooding.
In lieu of piers extending into the river
the board recommends that a basin be
dredged to a depth of thirty-two feet
below mean low water to contain two
piers in order to afford the needed wa
ter front where vessels may lie without
o~bstructing the channel. A site for
two drydocks has been selected in the
low land in prolongation of the re-en-
trante basin and a short pier will be
provided between the two to facilitate
the docking and unlocking of vessels.
1t is the plan to protect the water
front of the working part of the station
with a great sea wall having a depth of
water in front of thirty-two feet.
There was some objection to the
boards selection of site for the hospital
on the ground that, while it was OF
high ground, far removed from working
part of the station, an absence of trees
made the site undesirable. The board,
therefore, suggests the acquisition of a
tract Of lar in the immediate vicinity
Of the station which will satisfy all
desired conditions.
A torpedo boat depot will be located
in the lowlands of the Lawton tract.
The board recommends two slips for
vessels in reserve and had indicated a
line of standard guage track to the
buildings and water front of the sta
ton. South of the drydocks and basin
an area has been selected to serve as
a recreation ground for enlisted men.
these are the main features Of the
boards report, which submits sugges-
tons in detail for the numerous build
ings.
