CAPT. r. P. HoBsoN, of Merrimac
uo,oriety, delivered an interesting lecture
to large and attentive audience in the
M. E. Church South in this city yesterday
evening. patriotism and Character
Building" was the subject of his dis
course. The captain believes Japan has
a chip on her shoulder and ready to go
TO war with the United States on the
slightest pretext, aud that in order to be
prepared for a conflict the speaker re-
CARDS as inevitable, this country should
have three navies-one in the Atlantic,
another 10 the Pacific and one in the
South American waters. Captain Hob
son may have what he thinks are good
grounds for his conclusions, but those in
positions to know see no ripple on the
face of the waters. In fact, Japan OF
late has ceased war talk altogether and
is concentrating her attention on an
international exhibition. These being the
facts, Captain Hobson should get OF his
hobby and talk about something else
than Japan and The navy. During the
holidays, at least, most people prefer to
talk and Think shout other things than
possible war.

More statesmen will spend Christmas

they always went home on former years
but for some reason most Of them will
remain here this year. Certain persons

TO BREAK RECORD.

The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond News Leader says: If Rep
resentaiive Carlin, Virginia's new
Eighth district man, maintains his record
for introducing bills be will probably
have more to his credit in the House
than any other member by the end of
the session. Mr. Carlin came 10 Con-
eress with the determination 10 do
something for the people of bis district,
and it looks as If his constituents would
get results in the near future. In one
batch Mr.. Oarlin has introduced seventy
seven bills, mostly for pensions and for
properly destroyed by the federal forces
during the war between the States for
the people of bis district. Perhaps iu
no State of the union we're SO many
churches destroyed and damaged by
union soldiers during the war as in Vir-
GINA, and for years the government has
been paying such damages When the
churches in question were proved TO
have been loyal to the union. The bills
that have just been introduced BY Mr..
Oarlin will be vigorously pushed and
the claims collected as soon as possible.
