LITTLE FAIRIES ENTERTAIN
AT LAWN FESTIVAL.

The cutest thing tina thas happen
ed in Americas in long time was the
fairy lawn festival given last night
on the Rylander lawn on Taylor
street. Chlotilde Hair, Harriet Ry-
lander, Virginia Davenport and Mil
dred eLMaster were the fairies, and
were arrayed in gorgeous costumes
designed and made by themselves
of Wonderous crepe paper in rain
bow cOloring. Chic Davenport was
stage manager and arranged all the
details. Elm songs, dances original
ed by Titania, impersonations of all
the Lilliputian beings, and the Jap
aneset lantern dotted about made
the scene a veritable Midsummer
Nights Dream. A large and appre-
ciative audience was present to en-
JOY and applaud the littla- people,
and the donations were turned over
to the Salvation Army to be used as

WALLS COTTON
CROP is FINE,
DESPITE WEEVIL

G. D. Walls, one of Sumter's pro-
glessiVe farmers, was in Americas
today and displayed to friends, two
prize stalks of cotton, both heavily
fcu'ted, and giving promise Ct OK
csliant yield The stalks brought in
showed no evidence of the bool wee
Wis activities, though he said plenty
of the pests were to be found on his
farm
Walls lives on the former @. w.
Fuller place, near Plains, and was
late in planting, not getting his seed
into the ground until April %, but
notwithstanding this he has splen-
did crop. The secret of raising cot
ton in a weevil section, as demonstra-
ted by Walls is to plant such acre
age as can easily .be tended with
the labor available Planting an
early variety, Walls fortified
heavily, using 400 pounds of cotton
seed meal and acid phophate to the
acre. He has not used any calcium
as yet, but has sufficient labor to pick
off the weevils, and gives considera-
BILE time for this work. The place
on which he lives is now owned by
NJ. H. Andrews, who recently moved
here from South Carolina, and IS
considered one of the finest in the
entire county

GA. COUNTIES UNITE
TO OPPOSE MEASURE

ATLANTA, August 8.-By all
odds, the greatest sensation yet de-
veloped in the general assembly
cropped out yesterday when an At
lanta reporter dug up" the fact that
an innocent local bill contained a
joker which affected every citizen of
those cities of the state which have
trolley car lines. The bill which
passed the House as local Sa-
vannah measure, which opened the
way there to the charging of extra
fares for transfers, was amended in
the Senate to include all cities above
$4,000 in population. 1t put the pub
lie at the mercy of the street car
companies, via the Georgia Railroad
Commission.
Representatives of Bib, Floyd,
Muscogee, Richmond, Fulton and ev-
en- Chatham has been aroused and it
is probable that it will be killed
when it comes to the House for con-
currence.
AS one representative stated the
case: 1t seems like the people will
have oemploy Waterman at the
capitol to keep the power companies
from stealing their homes"
1t is safe to say that the measure
will not pass. Representative Law
renee, author of the measure as APP
piled only to Savannah, is stated on
good authority as being unwilling to
push his amended measure further
and to be altotegher unwilling to in
sist on raising the fares in the other
cities of the state.

the year and was ready to undergo her
trials.
In addition to these vessels we are
building two more of the New Mexico class,
namely, the California and the Tennessee,
which will be of about the same displace-
mcnt but will mount eight of our very fac
80 calibre 16-nch naval guns These yes
sells will be ready by the summer so thai
by the time the peace treaty is signed we
shall be in possession of seven dreaduou.h
bait eships. all OF which will be of abou.
32 900 tons dsp acement. A remarkab
feature in these ships is the great thick
ness of armor which they carry name y,
IA inches the belt and IS inches on the
turret, sad their steamng radius is larger
than the Kansas class and the five ships
of the New Jersey class. We have also
eight ships of the Maine, the Alabama and
the kearsarge classes, mounting 12-inch and
13-inch guns.
1t is considered that a battleship becomes
obsolete after twenty years of service, and
therefore the Iowa. completed in 1897 and
the Indiana the Massachusetts, and the Ore
gon, built in 1895 and 1895, must be reck-
oned in the obsolete class
Before leaving the United States Navy
and passing on to the next three we draw
attention to the fact that because of the
great size and power and resisting quality
of our dreadnought ships they form fleet
which under single command is fully
equal in strength and fighting power to a
combination of the Japanese French and
Italian dreadnought fleets.
We wish, however, very emphatically to
draw attention to the fact that our navy.
strong though it is in dreadnoughts, is very
poorly balanced We have no fast modern
scouts whatsoever, and these are absolutely
essential in the strategy and TACTICS of
modern naval warfare. We have six very
fine battle-cruisers authorized and partly
under construction. These should be
pushed to completion, but we should imme-
diately commence the construction of the
7,000-ton, 35-knot scouts of the 1916 pro-
gramme, or better than that we should Law
down larger number of smaller and more
handy type of equal speed, but of say

NHE lifting of the censorship, an
q article in "The Scientific Ameri-

can points out, makes 1t pos
sible to give in detail statement
of the present strength of the navles of
the world and to include in this list the
new ships which have been built during
the war. Beginning with the British
navy, this article states:
At the date of the signing of the armis-
tice the battleship strength of the British
navy consisted of thirty-three dreadnought
battleshps, twenty-five pre- dreadnought
battleships, seven obsolete battleships and
nine battle cruisers. For reasons best
known to himself, Mr.. Daniels, Secretary of
the Navy, in recent tables presented to the
House Naval Committee, credits the Brit
ish navy with no -dreadnoughts or obso-
lete battleships, but Jumps all three types
together as dreadnought battleships.
The capital ships completed during the
war and included in the Grand Fleet con
sist of three dreadnought battleships TIE
Benbow, Emperor of India and Marlbor-
ough, of the Iron Duke class, ships of 25,-
900 tons, mounting ten 13.5-inch guns
Also, the Agincourt, a ship which was lad
down in 1911 at Elswick for the Brazilian
government. In January, 1914, she was sold
to Turkey, and on the outbreak Of war,
being still in the builders hands, she was
taken over by the British navy and named
Agincourt. She is notable for the fact
that she carries fourteen 12-inch guns in
seven two-gun turrets. Her displacement
is about $4,000 tons. Another new ship Is
the Erin, built by Vickers for Turkey, and
taken over for the British navy at the out
break Of war. She is of 90 600 tons dis
placement and mounts ten 13.5-inch guns
Still third ship taken over is the Can
ada, Of $4,000 tons. built at Ellswick, for
Chile, and known as the Almirante Her
armament consists of ten 14-inch guns.

Royal Sovereign class laid down, and
these ships were completed during the
war. They are about 1000 tons less in
displacement than the Queen Elizabeth
class and their speed is 21.5 to % knots.
They mount the same battery of eight To-
inch guns.
Contrary to the general belief, Great
Britain did not build many new battle
cruisers during hostilities. AS matter
of fact, only two, the Repulse and Renown,
completed and joined the Grand
Fleet. They are the longest and largest
warships afloat with an overall length Of
between 800 and $50 feet, a displacement
Of 5000 tons and sea speed of 33 knots.
They mount six 15-inch guns. four forward
and two aft, and battery of fifteen torpedo
defence guns mounted in five three gun
turrcts
Ships under construction or authorized
include three dreadnought bnttleships,
probably of an improved and enlarged
