There may be other sections of North
Carolina as fine as that bordering on the

 Secretary Moody today telesraphed this recommendation to Captain Hobson, with the stat ement that the department ap- proved 1t and transmitted it to him for his consideration.
 The correspondence attending the ten- der of the resignation was made public today. Captain Hobson gives as a req son for his action the bad condition of his eyes and closes his letter as follows:
 Upon thus severing my official con nections with the navy, beg to make the following standing and permanent re- quest:
 That upon the approach of war or a similar emergency, the President for ward to congress the application I here by make to be restored to the navy, to be assigned to active duty during the pc riod of emergency"

The record of ac- tual damage, however, was better than that of the previous nights of this week. Twice were there instances of missiles throwing and car windows suffered as usual The systematic patrol of the city by police and militia was much more ef- fective tonight than before and when the hour of midnight arrived it looked as if the military protection afforded was adequate.
 The military headquarters were equipped with telephone system reaching out to every important point in the strike ter ritory, the signal corps put into play powerful searchlights at the car barns and power house. and similar apparatus in a tall building on South Main street near headquarters. thus making possible communications by light signals.
 At o'clock tonight action was taken which is significant of the determination to operate cars at all hazards. Sheriff Durham, after a conference with Col. Burpee, dispatched to the car barns ten of his new deputies. They were unmo- tested. The deputies were instructed to cooperate fully with the local police and the state militia in the preservation of order
