ESTIMATES MADE
FOR THE NAVY.
Reported That Congress Will be Asked
to Appropriate More Than
$lOO,oOO,O0O FOR DEPARTMENT.
Representative Dayton Believes Germany
Is Looking to South America for Es-
tablishment of Colonies Despite The
Monroe Doctrine.
Washington-The estimated needs

Washington-The estimated needs
OF the navy for the next fiscal year as
prepared by the chiefs of the various
bureaus and departments have been
reviewed by the secretary of the navy
and the report is now in the hands of
the public printer. 1t is reported,
though the report cannot be confirm
ed, that congress will be asked to ap-
prcpriate more than 800, 900, 900 fer
the department, as against $79,000,-
600, which was called for in last years
estimates. Representative Dayton of
West Virginia, the second member OF
the house committee on naval affairs,
who has lust returned from an extend
ed tour OF Europe, where he investi-
gated the British. French and German
naVies, is outspoken in his belief that
the new battleships should be of six
teen Thousand tons tonnage, after the
type of the Louisiana and Connecticut,
and that it is worse than folly to con-
struct vessels of less capacity. The
Germans, who are steadily forging
ahead as naval power, agree that the
type of war vessels of the American
navy as will be represented by the
Louisiana are the acme of fighting ship
construction. Their ordnance, equip
ment. general arrangement, range of
action, are admitted by the English
especially, as we'll as by the French to
be unsurpassed. Representative Day
ton says that he learned while abroad
that the present naval programme of
construction of the Germans will give
them by 1910 thirty-eight modern bat
tleships. ''The word has gone forth in
Germany" said Mr.. Dayton, that the
Fatherland must have a navy as strong
as any other power, and that colonies
must be found to drain off the surplus
population without denationalization.
My impression is that Germany is look
ing to South America for the estab-
lishment of these colonies and will not
permit the Monroe doctrine to stand in
the way if it comes to test"

baton of G. iticisms by Senator Cor
man of Roosevelt, who has always
posed ia civil service reformer and

holders punished who took part in
partisan politics, being himself fagran-

The proselyting work which was
carried on all last spring and summer
in advocacy of the passage of the
Cuban reciprocity resolution by Pres
ident Roosevelt is believed by the
friends of the administration to have
been effective, and 1t is now predicted
that the measure will not encounter
much serious autagonism in the house.
With the exception of Representative
Tawney of Minnesota, who Is q stick
Ter more for an adherence to legisla-
tive procedure than he is an avowed
opponent to reciprocity itself. the
Western members who were hostile to
the treaty at the last session are SEEM
ingly one by one falling into line.
Representative Jones OF Washington,
who took conspicuous part among
those aligned against the treaty at the
last session, has told the president
that. although still opposed to the
measure personally, he would vote for
ID when it came up for consideration
in the house at the extra session.
Representative Payne, chairman Of
the ways and means committee, and
Representative DalzeIl, its ranking
member. have assured the president,
with whom they discussed the extra
session, that the Cuban reciprocity
resolution would be adopted by the
House without serious opposition.

Furniture.

The subject OF another factory for Abbe-
willie will bob up again. We have chances for
two such Institutions, II we only give the
n needed encouragement, and no investm ent
that Abbeville has ever made, has brought
better results 10 the town than the building
OF the Abbeville Furniture Factory.
Mr.. Berneau and Mr.. Brewer of Greensboro,
contemplate making an effort in that direc-
ton. Mr.. Brewer is an expert furniture man,
and has been wonderfully successful in that
business. The people would have confidence
in the success Of any mill that he would
direct.
On the other hand, Mr.. j. l.. Mcmillan OF
OF our city, has been successful man in
other lines, and his executive ability would
ensure public confidence in the successful
management OF any business that he might
undertake 10 direct.
This newspaper will take stock in either or
both institutions. and will do 80 without
reservation or conditions OF any kind. We
have no land to sell. We have no axe to
grind. All we want Is, for abbeville TO grow
end prosper by giving laboring men profilta-
BILE employment and good homes.

Another Cotton Mill.

It has been said that Mr.. A. w. Smith cor =
templates the building OF ofanother cotton mill,
In neghborlng town to Woodruff. and that
he would likely be favorable to Abbevile. t
he should come, let our people give all The en-
coursgement that they are able to give. MIR.
Smiths cotton mill stC OK at Woodruff Is
worth par on the market. Having demon
strated his ability to build apd run mill. we
hope that II be comes to Abbeville. they will
give the needed help. The building OF indus
trial enterprises helps out a town. and when
one comes who has shown his ability to start
other mills, 1t looks like pity for US not to
come up to his requirements.

The PublIc Park.

The city council have done much good
work on the park in Lhe public square. The
ground has been curbed in by moe long
stones and the level Of the whole surface has
been raised by the addition Of dirt brought
from a distance. The top has been covered
with rich soil, and we presume that bermuda
grass, the blue grass OF the South, will be
planted. The edge OF the curb around the
lower part of the park is foot or more above
ground on the outside Of the enclosure. This
would furnish nice seat or resting place fol
the weary citizen Of limited means and tired
limbs, but we should not be surprised II the
council threw q few loads Of dirt next to the
rock and destroyed 1t as q resting place.

Simply Malicious.

We think the recent article In The State in
reference to the Press and Banner was un-
called for and upjustifled. AS far as We are able
to discern the outlines Of its yelled and in.
defnable meaning we regard 1t as simply
malicious.
IfThe State will cease to hide behind in.
situations when referring to this newspaper,
and will come out In the open and make lts
speech In an honorable and manly way, we
hope to answer its intermeddling with the
Press and Banner as the occasion may de.
serve.
