News From All Sections Of Virginia
GREAT SHIPMENTS
WILL BE GREATER

Newport News. Aug. 5.--One hum
dree and twenty-four foreign steamers
entered this port during the month OF
July. according to official figures COM
piled at the customs house. Many OF
the steamers stopped for bunker coal,
while as many more took cargoes of
horses, nulsa grain, coal and other
articles of export which have been
leaving Newport News in enormous
quantities Of late.
AS great an have been the exports
Of horses, grain and coal from this
port during the summer months they
are expected to materially increase
during the coming winter. More coal
viii be needed IN foreign countries,
horses now being shipped through
Montreal vii be shipped from here
and the spring crop of grain viii be-
gin to arrive from the West In q short
time.
That will mean that the unprece-
denied activity along the waterfront
will be increased. which will result
in the employment of more men and
greater prosperity for Newport News,
which, according to travelling men.
now is the most prosperous city on
the Atlantic coast.
The number of foreign ships stop
ping here last month probably Is the
largest in the history of the port for
the same length of time and as the
ships go to all parts of the world,
means that Newport News Is becom-
ing recognized as q great port of ex-
port in the most remote corners OF
the earth.
Absence Of American ships from
the number stopping here. however.
Is pointed to by persons interested In
the upbuilding Of the American mer-
chant marine. The number of Amer
lean ships is 50 insignificant minor

To Send 1000 Fliers on Raid

London, April 6.-The world may
be startled by raid in which from
five hundred to thousand English
and French aeroplanes will combine.
The report is current here that such a
raid is contemplated. One thousand
aeroplanes at 5000 each, would cost
only eight million dollars. The cost
OF one super-dreadnaught is more
than twelve million dollars. Aviators
are convinced that one thousand aero.
planes could do more real damage to
the enemy than one super-dread-
naught. II the Allies send one thou
sand aeroplanes over the Krupp works
it is almost a certainty that these
works will be so damaged that it
would cripple Germany almost beyond

Knew the F-4 Was Leaky.

Los Angles, April 9.-Allison D.
EIDE, brother Of Lieut.. Alfred L. EIDE,
commander of the submarine F.4,
which was lost off Honolulu harbor
March Is, said today he had received
letter from the naval officer in
which he said that the submersible
was defective. Lieutenant EIDE, his
brother said, wrote that the vessel
was leaky and otherwise. in poor
condition.
EIDE said, however, that Lieutenant
EIDE had written that the vessel was
supplied with new motors while in
dry dock. Previous reports had
stated that the motors were old and
worn and therefore believed to have
been responsible for the loss of the
F-4. EIDE declined to give out the
letter, which was written by his
brother two days before the Fla went
on the underwater cruise from which
it never returned.

M. U. Prepares Soil and Crop
Collections.

Now comes the Agricultural Ex
tension service .of the University Of
Missouri, at Columbia, offering the
teachersand boys and girls of Missouri
an opportunity to study first hand the
types and varieties of wheat and corn
in the State of Missouri, miscellaneous
seeds, market grades of grain, leaf
diseases of the apple, insects, soils
and fertilizers. This material is care
fully prepared and will be sent at &C.
tual cost of preparation.
I The farm crops material is mounted
and labeled; the different corn va.
rieties are in bulk; the small grains,
grasses, and clovers are in cardboard
boxes; the chronological specimens
are in glass-fronted boxes.
The chronological collection in
cludes the cabbage butterfly, the po-
tato beetle, the .codling moth, the
chinch bug, the Hessian fly and the
common house fly. The stages of
development in each of these are
shown.
This material was prepared pri-
marily to supply the demand of high

"ReSoIved, That the United States
Should Adopt the Policy Of Great
Iy Enlarging the Navy

Chapel Hill, N. c., Oct. 4th.-The
query which will be discussed this
year by the schools having member
ship in the High School Debating
Union of North Carolina; is Resolved
That the United States should adopt
the policy of greatly charging the
Navy" A bulletin of sixty or sew
enty pages containing outlines and
arguments on both sides of this
query and references to sources from
which further material can be Sc
cured will be sent free of charge to
all schools which are members of the
Union. This bulletin will reach the
schools not later than Nov 18th.
Every secondary and high school
in the State is invited to become a
member of the Union and partici-
pate in the contest of 1916. Every
school that enters will, as in the past,
be grouped with two others for q
triangular debate, each school put
ting out two teams, one on the atflr'
native and the other on the mega
tive. The school winning both de-
bates will be Untitled to send theil
teams to the University to compete
for the State championship and the
Aycock Memorial Cup. The trian
gular debates will be held Throughout
the State the latter part Of March
and the final contest at the Univer
sity early in April. The exact dates
for these contests will be decided
upon later.
Since its Inauguration three year
ago by the literary societies and tin
bureau of extension Of the Univer
sity, the High School Debating Un
ion has met with splendid success
Three comprehensive Statewide de
bates have been held and schools AM
communities alike have been bene
fitted by them. Last spring tn
Statewide contest was participate
in by $50 schools and 1000 studen
debaters, and it is a safe estimat
that fully $4,000 people from first t
last heard the discussions over tn
State on the question of subsidies TO
the merchant marine. The CON
mittee hopes that this year ever
school of secondary nature in tn
State will enroll in the Union fo
the discussion of the enlargement
of the United States Navy. E. F

Thirsty Pitt

The other day a Weldon officer of
the law captured an automobile and
about seventy gallons of liquor;
bound from Virginia, presumably
for Pitt County. Upon being COM
manded to halt, the driver put on
more speed. One tire was punctured
by volley of bullets, but the chauf-
feur halted not until he neared a
patch Of woods. Then he made the
desertion necessary for his personal
and moral benefit so to speak. He
was never unprecedented. Upon in
quiry at Raleigh, it was learned the
car belonged to Pitt County man
of prominence. The Weldon authori
ties turned the spoils over to the
sheriff, who will pour out the booze
and sell the car, likely-if the owner
doesn't show up. While in this in.
stance the quart law was enforced
there is no telling just how many 81
milar trips were made by the same
car for the same purpose. The Law
will do more good when Virgin.
goes dry. In the meantime tn,
thirsty will send over for it and tn,
subsequent consumption of it still
Oes on unabated.
