the secretary said:
"The responsibility of commanding
a battleship involves not only a thous.
and lives but vast expenditure OF
money and a possible los of unit in
the fleet of strategic Importance.
Therefore, commanding officer
should be at an age to stand the ner-
vous as well as the mental and phys

more time in that rank to get prac-
tice as a squadron and division COM

In conclusion the secretary admon-
ished the young officers to let their

"The country looks to you," he as
serted, mot merely to be content to

stances the best that is in you, wheth-

Was Unveiled Yesterday BY Daugh
tiers Of the confederacy, at Char
Iotte, North Carolina.
by Associated Press.)

Charlotte, N. c., June 6.-On a
freight warehouse of the Seaboard
Air Line Railway in this city, the
Stonewall Jackson Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy Fri
day unveiled tablet so that future
generations may know the spot, one
hundred miles from navigable waters,
where once was located the navy
yard of the Confederate States.
After the battle of the Monitor and
the Merrimac in Hampton Roads, the
Ccnfederacy recognized the necessity
of removing its navy yard from Nor
folk, Va. Charlotte was selected as
the site, and there, far removed
from the possibility of attack by wa
ter, guns were cast for the navy and
carriages and other implements of
war constructed for the land forces
as well as the naval service. No
ships were constructed or repaired
there.
The tablet bears this inscription:
Confederate States Navy Yard,
Charlotte, North Carolina,
1S62-1S65."
The tablet was designed by J.
Frank Wilkes. 1t is work of art of
shield-shaped design, mounted on an
chors and entwined with a sea cable
with an appropriate inscription.
Wilkes is the son of the late Cap
tain John Wilkes who was in the SER
vice of the United States navy from
1871 to 1854.
When Captain Murdah and Captain
Parker of the Confederacy, who were
charged with the mission of finding
a new site for a navy yard, came as
Tar inland as Charlotte they met their

Secretary Meyer Delivered Address
Before Graduating Class at U. S.
Naval Station.

Annapolis, Md, June 6.-Secretary
of the Navy Meyer told the gradual
ing class at the Naval Academy here
Friday that "the navy should be so
constituted and drilled that it will
have at all times the greatest possible
military efficiency"
Under such conditions only" he
added, "can the navy protect the in
terests of the country and insure
peace. The navy is only a menace
and needless expense when it is
permitted to deteriorate and when the
military spirit weakens."
Taking models of the original Kear-
sarge and of the modern battleship
Michigan, which are in his in Wash
ington, Mr.. Meyer said he could think
of mo comparison that would demon
strate so well at a glace how the du-
ties of the naval officer have changed,
and with it the characteristics of the
officer and blue jacket" Then, after
speaking of the enlisted men of the
navy, saying that, while in former
years it was often difficult to man the
ships with American sailors, today 90
per cent of the crews are Americans,
he continued:
While the change in the require
ments of the enlisted man is very
great, it is equally, if not more, mark
ed in the officer, and the transforma-
ton that has taken place in the navy !
is transformation not only in per-
sonnet, but in the material and the
methods of handling both.
The battleship Of today is a vast
mechanism and it re-
luires a skilled personnel to make all
parts work in unison to a common
end. This requires on the part of the
officers and men Of the navy exacting
lrill and training. The young officer
# today. instead Of being sent aloft
o furl sails, is sent down into the
tokehold to fire the furnaces and
end the boilers. There he learns {

He went on to explain how the I
,ung officer is given a similar train

the railroad and one hundred on the
main street. This they thought ex-
actly suited to their purpose, far
enough inland to be safe from an at
tack by sea, and lying on the only
railroad which connected Richmond
with the Southern States of the Con-
federacy. So the Confederate govern
ment bought the property on the
promise to pay. Nothing was paid,
and after the war Wilkes bought the
property back.
A large quantity of material and
machinery was moved from Norfolk
to Charlotte, and coke ovens, foundry
and machine shops erected. All sorts
of guns, gun carriages and woodwork
were made here. The coal used was
obtained from Egypt, N. c.. in Cum
berland county-the only coal mine
i'll the state, and the coke was made
here.
When Brom's battery, a famous To-
cal detachment, was projected, the
churches of Charlotte gave their bells
to the cause and these were cast into
two cannon for it. Four other guns
were captured on the coast and these
were brought here and fitted with
carriages and equipment.

scarce, and the wisdom of the farm
ers in paying a penny each for their
scalps, so to speak, is not extrava-
CANT when the fact is considered that
each weevil in existence today will
bring forth a progeny of more than a
thousand weevils six weeks hence, and
each weevh means a punctured cot
ton square.
Mr. Afford states that the percent
age of weevils found on young cotton
in the infested area is much smaller
than at this time last year, which he
attributes to the destruction of larvae
by the extremely cold winter. The
farmers are not encountering any
scarcity of pickaninny labor, and Mr..
Afford believes that an energetic eff
fort at this period to rid the fields of
the first weevils will mean a decided
enhancement of the yield throughout
the infested area.
Crop prospects have shown a desid-
ed improvement during the past ten
days, according to Mr. Afford, and
plenty of hot weather, with occasion
al showers, during the present month,
will in goodly measure make amends
for the lateness of the crop. The
stands of corn are healthy, and the
yield of this crop promises to be
the largest in the history of Missis-
II.

CAN'T SPARE TINY
 CORNER OF RANCH Paolo Perrazo Fences Road and Ob- structs One of Uncle Sam's
 Rural Mail Pouces.

Whether Paolo Perrazo has the right to fence a supposedly public
 road, along the bank of the Appro- priatorS' canal, which crosses one corner of his property. vas an. ln- teresting question tefo-e the board of supervisors yesterday. Since the
 road which Perrazo fenced is part of mail route, the postoffice authori-
 ties are deeply interested in the con- troversy, which was brought to a head by the reclamation service fil- ing a complaint with the supervisors No final action was taken by the board but the district attorney and legal representative nf the defeno- ant will hold a conference and "n- deavor to arrive at a settlement.
 Perrazo owns the old ranch on the Tempe road familiarly known as the -Four Mile Place" The road which he fenced is the Balsz road. running north and south. Formerly this road ran just outside Perrazo's property When the Appropriators' canal was constructed it forced the road a few feet farther east, just over the line on the Perrazo ranch. It continues on the ranch for only a short dis tance
 For seven years the new road on the Appropriators' bank was used by the public. Finally PerrazO decided to stop traffic across this corner of his place and threw a fence across the road, clear to the waters edge. The reclamation service tore down .l.s other. Several more were erected and torn down before the controversy came before the supervisors.
 Rural mail carrier No. l com plained of Perrazo's action, for the fence forced him more than a mile out of his way The postoffice au- thorities feel that Perrazo has not only violated the territorial law but has disregarded a United States stat ute by obstructing a mail route. It is contended that after a road has been used five years by the general public, 1t belongs to the public
 Perrazo retained J. l.. B. Alexan- der as his attorney but MT. Alexander was unable to appear before the sup ervisors yesterday After hearing ar guments from the reclamation service and from the defendant, the board en- deavored to reach a settlement with MT. Perrazo. first by offering to buy and then to lease the land. He refused to either sell or lease. The supervisors then requested him to have MT. Alex ander talk over the dispute with Dis trict Attorney Bullard.
 What Perrazo demands is county bridge north and south across both the Grand and Appropriators. which " uld take the road off his ranch en- tirely. As the two canals are bridged east and west, for the Tempe road. only few feet away, the super visors feel that more bridges are un- necessary.
