lean system of appointment by con-

to become a naval cadet he must first
graduate from the public schools. Then
he must pay his own expenses at q
naval preparatory school. These ex-
penses are equivalent, in American
money, to about six dollars month.
Having graduated from the prepare
tory school, says Teiichi Yamagata's
"a Japanese MILDLY" in st. Nicholas.
he forthwith enters the naval college,
and from that time on his expenses
are borne by the government. Any
japanese boy who has the necessary
mental, physical and financial quail
fications can thus become naval ca
Diet.
1t was very proud moment for the
writer, you may be sure, when he first
donned the uniform Of the Kanda
school and became one of the four
hundred students there. The uniform
was plain, consisting of simple blue
jacket with single row Of brass but
tons, plain blue trousers and naval
cap of English pattern.
Our arms were not calculated to
strike terror to even the most timid
heart, since they were nothing but
mock wooden guns. Yet we boys must
have fancied that the martial spirit
of the old.time sumurai dwelt in those
harmless make-believe muskets, for 1t
would have been difficult indeed to
find a fiercer looking lot Of youthful
warriors than we were at drill.
What did We study? First Of all
the Japanese and Chinese languages,
delving a little into the classics Of
both. Then we were obliged to write
compositions in japanese and Chinese,
and disliked the task just as heartily
as American boys do their English and
Latin compositions. We were taught
English also, and compositions in that
language were added to our other tor
lures. Arithmetic, algebra, short
course in japanese history. short
course in geography and free-hand
drawing, including map work-surely
this was enough for boys of 10 or IA
years Of age! feel sure that all Of
my young American readers will
agree with me on this point. Elemen-
tary military drill and instruction in
rowing were elective branches; but
there we're few boys who did not take
them up.
Five days and a half every week
were devoted to these studies. The
discipline was not unnecessarily
strict, and on the whole our life was
even jollier than American boarding
school life We were fun-loving lot
of boys, and many were the pranks we
played upon each other. Even our in
structors did not always escape. But
''hazing," as the term is understood
in this country, is unknown to Japan.

three-fourths of the farmyards which
one sees. The general result is fairly
we'll represented in figure i. Here
there are two rows of trees at right
angles to one another. which are fine
and shady and form the chief features
of the place. However. they shade the
house too much. allowing no outlook
in any direction. There are some for

where the best grass ought to be. The

is ON the other side Of the road and
behind the row Of trees. It is useful
only as a croquet ground. 1t is more
than likely that in some spring there
will be wires attaches along the tree

In figure 2 we have q rough sketch
Of the same piece Of ground and the

lows a more agreeable plan. The
roads and walks are gracefully curved
perhaps too much so; but at any rate
they turn aside and leave room for q
much larger stretch of grass on the
left of the house. The trees are placed
in scattered groups and the Bhrubbery
is arranged in heavy masses. Almost
anyone can see that the latter ar
rangement is preferable even in this

Pekln, Jan. 3.-In the various
foreign legations here the opinion is
prevalent that war between Japan
and Russia is inevitable.
Ini5 opinion is based on the latest
dispatches from Toxic and on the
conviction that it is not a question
of detail which separates Russia and
Japan, but the vital principles as t.
whether Japan possesses the right to
a voice in the settlement of questions
connected with the Russian occupa-
patton of Manchuria.
Russia all along has denied this
rIght, and unless her reply shows
that she has reredeu from this pO-
sition, which is not expected to be
the case, it will probably provoke
an ultimatum from Japan, whose
determination to resort TO arms in
support Of her claim Is unquestloned.
AdVice5 from Manchuria represent
the Russian officials there as being
surprised at Japan's readiness to
fight.

OUR COUNTY A
The Board of Commissioners OF
Wayne Are Doing Excel
lent Work Along
This Tina

During the last few years the ques-
ton of good roads has been widely
revived, and hundreds of citizens all
over the South are waking up to the
importance of improving our public
highways.
Merchants, as we'll as farmers, are
realizing that good roads are one Of
the best investments, and that no
large section of country is likely to
become prosperous without them.
Good roads work both ways. They
enable the farmer to market his
crop, and at the same time they
largely Increase the country trade
in the towns and cities. 1t is graft
flying to note the growing interest in
this all-important subject.
Our excellent Board Of county
Commissioners, under the lead and
direction of their efficient chairman
MIR. Chas. F. Herring, have done
some splendid work tho past year on
the public roads of Wayne, The
ARGUS cordially commends their
progres5iveness and hopes they will
continue it during the New Year.

DEATH OF MR.. w. A. FAISON.
The Venerable Father of Dr. w,
w. and Miss Emma Falson,
of This City.

It is with deepest regret that the
ARGUS chronicles the death of Mr..
William A. Faison, of Sampson
county, of pneumonia, which occur
red at the old homestead last week.
Mr.. Faison was the father of DR..
w. w. Faison and Miss Emma Fai-
son, of this city, Messrs. Joseph F.
and j. A. Faisan, of Sampson coun-
ty, Mrs. O. A. Belts, of MorgantOn,
and Mrs. j. w. Morrisey, of Wins
ton-SaIem.
Mr.. Faison was 80 years old and
his widow is II years of age, and to
her and her children the ARGUS ex-
tends deepest sympathy.
North Carolina never had within
her borders a better man than Will
liam A. Faison.
In speaking yesterday with a
News & Observer reporter DR.. J. d.
Hutham, whose wife is a cousin of
MI. Faison, said of Mr.. Faison that
the deceased belonged to one of the
oldest families of Eastern North
Carolina, having come to this couu-
try from Holland before 1862, and
settled in York county, Va. In the
act naturalizing the first Faison that
came over, it is a singular fact that
there were also named Minor Doods,
ancestors of the distinguished Prof.
Minor, for so long head of the law
department of the University Of
Virginia, and q Harmansen, an
cestor of the two United States Sen
atOrs, Henry and Littleton Walker
IaZeWell.
The first Faison lived and died in
York county, Va. His descendants
moved to Northampton county, in
North Carolina, and in 1878, three
brothers, Henry, James and Elias,
went to what is now Duplin county,
and settled on land that is still in
the possession of their descendants.
Henry settled at the place now call
ed Faison. James. the oldest, had
three sons, n of whom, James,
married a Hollingsworth in Duplin,
and volunteered in the Revolution
in 1878, and fought through the war.
Vim. A. Faison was the grandson of
is James Faison. The father of
/ deceased, William Faison, was
d away the wealthiest man in
~ county, and VIM. A. Fai-
ealthy until the Civil War
swept away everything bat the land
itself.
He was, said DR.. Huffman, an old
time Southern gentleman, the soul
of honor, and for many years an ell
der in the Pre- byterian church, He
led d blameless life, he Was upright
every where and beloved by all WHO
knew him, an was an ideal citizen.
He was graduated from the Uni
versity, along with Ransom, Petit
