A rule of the church was quoted in re

PROG RESS AT SNOW HILL.
The People of Greene in Fine Shape
TO Face The Future.
(Staff Correspondence

! Snow Hill, n. c., March 3.-Since my
last trip to Snow Hill quite a number of
new residences have been Suilt, among
which is the handsome home of the genial,
clever sheriff of Greene county, B. W.
Edwards.
| The new school house is nearing com
pletion. Prof. Debnam says he thinks it
will &c finished in about sixty days. 1t is
one story building. There are three
large rooms beside a cloak room and
closets Two of these rooms can be put
together, making a chapel of 32x60 feet.
1 am told that the people of this county
are in much better financial condition
than ever before The cotton crop here
was good and large majority of the
farmers sold at the high price. They
have raised plenty of home supplies, and
! for the last two months have received
better prices for tobacco than they did at
the opening of this season. But from
what l can hear. / am satisfied that the
tobacco crop in this county will be re-
duced about 80 per cent this year as COM
pared with last year
The people of this entire section are
very hopeful of at last getting a railroad
through Greene county, for it is generally
believed that the Raleigh and PaInlico
people mean business. and the road win
be built as fast as the work can be car
red on. From what l know of the coun-
ty through which this road will run.
will predict good business for it from the
first with a big increase as the years go
forward There is a CORDS of surveyors
just across the Moccasin River about two
miles from Snow Hill
The crowd attending court here this
week has not been as large as usual, ow
ing, l believe, to the fact that farmers
are backward with the work on account
of bad weather, and the last two days
have been favorable for farming opera
tons, and these energetic people have
taken advantage OF it. Most of the. soil
in this county is Of such character. that
| though it may rain hard for several days
| there is not much delay waiting for it to
get sufficiently dry to work
There is no county in the State where
| in which l meet more intelligent
and sociable a people than in this
section nor one throughout which the
''Old Reliable" is taken more freely &C
cording to population And in conclusion
desire to express appreciation to the
good citizens of Snow Hill and Greene
county for their liberal patronage and
kind treatment while in their midst.

Peabody Fund.

The A. & NJ. Summer School received a
gift yesterday that meant increased use
fulness.
This was a check for s., 900 that came to
it from the Peabody Fund.
The check for the Summer School was
sent to State Superintendent of Public
instruction Joyner, and came from DR.. S.
A. Green, of Boston, the general agent OF
the Peabody Fund.
This is great compliment to the effic-
iency of the Summer School, and shows
that the work done here last year, and
the prospects for this year are such as to
show to the Peabody Fund authorities
the value of the institution.
The prospects for an increased attend
Gnce this year grows, and especially are
there inquiries coming in asking about
the courses of instruction to be given and
the special features.
Nature study, industrial instruction and
agricultural teaching will be given special
attention this year and the donation of

Discussion of a Large Navy.
(By the Associated Press.)

10y the ASSCCidteu IISoS.J
Washington, March 3.-For. almost four
hc-~s today the Senate engaged iii dis
cussion which while technically on the
Naval Appropriation bill covered wide
lrange of subjects, including the policy OF
the United States in the Philippines, and
tie RussC-Japarese war. The principal
participants were Messrs. Hale, Bacon,
Lodge. Depew, Patterson and Money. In
calling up the bill, Mr.. Hale made a com
prchensive statement concerning the gen
eral condition of the navy and the pro-
gram for its increase. He criticised the
plans of the naval board as tending to on
establishment beyond the needs OF the
country.
In some respects" Mr. Hale said. "the
naval officers are like the farmer who
wants to raise the biggest pumpkin. They
don't want Great Britain or Germany to
excel the United States The Naval
Board program contemplated foity-eight
battleships and twenty-tour armored
cruisers. Mr.. Hale said, and he added
that when that stage was reached an APP
preparation OF s200G00,o00 4 year would
ba necessary for the navy. I'VE should.
he said, get along with a hundred mil
hons a year
MIR. Lodge, Mr.. Depew and Mr.. Per
kins defended the naval officers, and Mr.
Lodge declared a large navy essential to
the maintenance of peace. Mr.. Money
said that he did not consider the total
appropriation of s97,OOO.0O0 carried by
the bill as excessive under our present
policy in the Orient. He, however, cllti-
cised that policy as did other Demo
cratic speakers. Mr.. Money quoted a
high authority as predicting that in the
event OF Japanese victory they would go
to- the Philippines. He thought-it was
not the European nations we had to fear
in the Orient.
Consideration of the bill had not been
completed when the Senate adjourned

Large Number of Children Made
Happy by Worthy Charity.
The most successful season in the
history of the Fresh Air Home closed
yesterday when the last of the children
were brought back to the city from
Tybee.
Since the opening of the home III
June nearly 800 children have been
given from one to two weeks outing
by the seaside under the direction of
Miss Hull, the matron and nurse in
charge of the home.
For amusements the children had
swings and a merry go-round, not to
mention dips in the brine and the free
dom of the sandy beach. 1t was with
the greatest reluctance that the man.
agement was compelled to call time Oh
the children who were having such
splendid outing. but it was necessary
in order to give others a chance.
Those who have been at the head of
this worthy charity have been pleased
by the results of the summers work.
Many children have been nursed back
to health and strength, while others
have gotten a taste of pleasure which
will help them for another year to
make existence more tolerable. I'm
der the management of Miss Hull the
home has been most satisfactorily con-
Quoted.
About thirty-five children were
brought back yesterday

AS COOL HERE
AS Anywhere
MANY DELIGHTFUL RESORTS
WHICH ARE NATURALLY ADAPTED
TO SUMMER RESIDENCES.

Large Number of Savannah People
Comfort Which is ObtainabIe at
Home-Large and Varied Number
of Amusement Places Makes Resi-
dence Here Especially Attractive
During the Summer Months, and
Visitors of Interior Cities Return
Year After Year.
Savannah's advantages as a summer
resort do not depend merely on the
record of temperature in the office of
the Weather Bureau, but those who
have gone through summer after sum
mer here are satisfied, after expert
ments, that no place affords more COM
fort than can be enjoyed right here
at home.
With every advantage of seashore,
parks and temperature, there is moth
ing to make a stay at home during
the summer as pleasant as a trip to.
foreign watering places, or to the
mountains. Thousands of residents of
interior cities come to Savannah every
summer to enjoy the comforts that
many Savannahians seek elsewhere.
The strongest testimonial of the sat
isfaction climatic conditions afford is
the regularity with which summer Wis
itors return, with increases each year.
With an unusually late summer last
year all records were broken at the
local watering places, and the indica-
tons are that this year will see a new
record made even over last year. The
large number of locations with natural
advantages for summer residents
makes Savannah doubly attractive,
and there are no less than a half-dozen
separate places of resort for those
seeking cool breezes, surf bathing and
perfect comfort on long hot days.
Getting Cooler Each Year.
According to the records in the To-
cal Weather Bureau up to Aug. g.
there had been a gradual decrease in
deficiency of temperature since 1S99
and with the exception of 1901 this has
been the coolest summer in nine years.
In 1895 there was a total deficiency
in temperature of 491 degrees, the sub
sequent years, up to 1900, were in ex-
cess of the normal.
The temperature by years since 1894
up to Aug. 26 of each year is as fol-
lows:
