PASSING THRONG.

Mir. A. c. Akin of The Advertiser clerical force, has returned from a two weeks visit in the neighborhood of Head- land in Henry County. He reports a lack of rain in that whole section of country and says that with plenty of rain from now on not over 50 per cent of corn crop could be made. Cotton has been badly injured and under no conditions now can full crop be expected.

When they met again the tragedy occurred.

The Louisville and Nashville Roa

The history of the Louisville and Nash vile road, since 1t passed under the direc- ton of MT. Milton II. Smith, Is the his- tory of logical progress and stable pros perity
 Mir Smith has been especially farstght- ed in the development of the mineral re- glons of the South. The policy of his company. through good times and evil, has been directed to one end. and that was to the development of the latent in- dustrial resources of the Southern States. Other men have done well, and other agencies have been valuable, but to Mil ton Smiths foresight to his broad grasp of great affairs, to his devotion to the interests of the road. to his loyalty, to his singleness of purpose and his high integrity, are due the steady growth and the present prosperity of the territory tributary to this city. Not only Birming- ham and Pensacola, but other cities and towns date new era from his iabors.
 The influence of Mir. Smith has been marked in other directions. His insist ence on open rates, with no rebate. equal rights 10 all and special privileges to none" has given a stability to busi- ness and confidence to investors which no other course could command.
 Recent events have called special atten- tion to the history of the l.. and N. and revealed in a new degree the confidence which the nagement commands from the public it serves, and the loyalty of its army of employees. MT. Smith Is not a diplomatist, and he Is not a time-server nor a politician; he is a plain, blunt man. whose words are yea and nay. While some complain. faith in the man and his works grows steadily.
 This great l.. and N. property has, it is said, passed into the hands of new owners. They are men of vast financial resources who rightly estimate the earn- ing capacity of this road. It is assumed that certain changes will take place. but we note that all rumors of change concur in the retention of Mir. Smith. The work he has done speaks for itself. The Even- ing Post does not intend to say that MT. Smith has done all this alone, without agents or assistants; on the contrary, It is a work which no man could do alone. and as it broadens with time 1t will cali for men of like character and purpose. And the men who under him have wrought with the greatest success are tho first always to pay their tribute to their leaders real greatness.

The Normal.

up Tuesday morning with large en-
rollment and every promise Of pre-.
eminent success. Up to date 1877 have
enrolled and paid the required fec.
Supt. Sailors, Ed Register, John Can
oan and s. c. Risdon are in charge.
AS usual there are many new faces
and few of the familiar old ones. The
instructors settled down to the prac-
tical work of the session on the first
day and now all the gearing and bear.
ings OF the machine are fully oiled
and fabricated and it is busy turning
out teachers to- order.
There will be an unusually large at
tendance and the instruction will be
tirstclass. No teacher can be abreast
of the times without attending the
normal and no teacher, no matter
how experienced, can attend without
being greatly benefited.

PASSED NAVAL BUILDING BILL.

Three Ships to BE Constructed in
Government Yards, Where They
Will Cost Mt Least 80 Per Cent.
More.
Washington, May 19.-Before ad-
journment to-day the House passed the
naval appropriation bill. The feature
of the debate was on the amendment
offered by Mr.. Roberts of Massachu-
sets, providing that three of the ships
provided for in the bill, a battleship, a
cruiser and a gunboat. shall be built
in government yards. MIR. Adams of
Pennsylvania made a point of order
against the amendment, which Mr.
Sherman sustained, but on an appeal
by Mr.. Roberts the chair was not sus-
tanned, and the amendment was agreed
to. Under a suspension of the rules
the bill for eight-hour work on all gov
eminent contracts was passed.
During the discussion of the Rob-
erts amendment Mr.. Foss said that
past experience had proved that it cost
90 per cent. more to build ships in gov
eminent yards than in private yards
and cited the Texas and the Maine.
Admiral BowIes had said that if he
were permitted to make the conditions
he would build ships as cheaply in
government yards as under private
contracts, but he would make the
hours of abor the same as in private
yards; he would wipe out the leaves
of absence; would pay the laborers in
the navy yards by the piece. and
would wipe out all holidays for which
they are paid
Mr.. Dayton said the amendment
would not be in the interests of the
labOring men because there was a limit
placed on the number of men that navy
yards could employ. 1t would extend
the work over many years and the Sc
lect few would have labor. continuously,
which would otherwise go to the work.
men in the private yards.
Mr.. Roberts referred to what he
termed the pathetic plea of Mr.. Day
ton for the laboring man, and said
that when delegation appeared before
the committee they made no plea for
work in private yards.
An amendment by Mr.. Dayton was
agreed to, changing the name cadet to
midshipman.

the Earl of Dartmouth five days later:
The resolves surpass all the
horrid and reasonable publications

country has yet produced"
The first person TO doubt the authen-
ITCHY of the Mecklenburg document
was jefferson himself and his friends
took up the hue and cry. In 1887 the
venerable Francis Hawks, d. D., LII

Mercury from the British State Paper

file since June &c. 1915, when forwarded
by the royal governor to the Mother
Country.
