There are men still living who years
ago read Jules Vernes Twenty Thou

laughed scornfully at the authors con-
oeption of the Nautilus, Captain
Nemos submarine vessel was then so
fanciful that Jules Verne was not only
pronounced a dreamer. but serious
doubts as to his sanity were enter
tanned. The men who laughed then
probably read of the test OF the Full
ton, the Holland submarine boat, In
New York Sunday. all forgetful or
their opinion Of years ago. The re-
suit has been accomplished by easy
stages. Little by little, until the seal Of
governmental approval has been placed
upon Il, has the progress toward a
perfected submarine vessel been made.
1t is none the less wonderful for all
that. 1t is In reality as marvellous as 1t
would seem to man just awakened
from a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep Of half a

filling the prophecy that man shah

It is obvious that for a boat to re-
main quietly on the bottom OF the
sea and TO travel about or maneuver
under water for the purpose OF attack
are very different propositions, but
those who HAYES studied the Fulton are
confident that boats OF the Holland
type win prove effective engines of
war. II Is maintained that feet of
such boats as the Fulton can guaran-
tee the safety OF any great harbor
against attacks by the enemy's ships.

Recently the French government,
which has been investing heavily In
submarines, proved to its own salts
faction that a submerged or partly sub
merged torpedo boat can be made to
cover a considerable distance, although
at low rate Of speed. The test also
disclosed that a feet OF cruisers and
battleships, although forewarned OF the
approach OF submarines, would find It
almost impossible TO protect itself
against them. Evidently the sub
marine, whatever Its effect In practice,
may exercise a considerable moral ef-
feet In the battles of the future. The
United States, France and Great Brit
ain have recognized this, and probably
IL win not be long before the Russian
and German nayies win be obliged to
follow their lead.

Other Compliments.

A correspondent of the Statesville

her name Sallie F. Lanier, writes in
terestingly of the debate there between
the Georgia and North Carolina boys.
She said in part
"Judge Lumpkin said, in awarding
the decision, that he had never heard
as fine debate in the Legislature and
that in an experience of 20 years, he
had heard nothing in the court room
that would make him afraid to pit one
OF these lads against the pleader. Why,
our boys very nearly had me thinking
that the trusts are making us all rich,

with him. He could make a jury re-
lease an Alexander horse-swapper after

making preparation to move to Peters
ourg. He said something about his
daughter, Mrs. F. l.. Bell, going with
MIN. To this Mr.. Bell raised some

arrested in Halifax Monday by officer
Charlie Wilcox and brought back here
Monday afternoon. He was tried be-
fore Mayor Clement, placed under $40

inflicted would have been quite serious.
Marshpund's family went to Petersburg

he expected.

Many strangers who come into the
