NAVAL MEASURE MOVING "LONG
Washington, Nov. 14.-Judged by
the headway made today by the
House subcommittee on appropria
tions which will frame it next
year's navy budget will sail through
unruffled seas.
There was no indication at the
close of the first hearing behind
closed doors of another fight like
that which marked the passage of
the bill last spring. The Navy De
patrment, the budget bureau and
Chairman Kelly, of the subcommit
tee, conducting the hearing, were
in full accord on the enlisted per
sonnel 86,000 and the same num
ber of ships as are now in com
mission. The construction program
will continue and, the question of
scrapping holds over until all the
powers have ratified the naval
treaty;
It was understood the total ap
propriation asks for would be in
excess of $398,000,000 shown on the
face of the last bill, principaly
because there was an expended bal
ance on hAnd of $46,000,000 July 1,
due to the cessation of construction
at the time of the arms conference.
This $46,000,000 was not shown in
the appropriation bill as having been
smade available for the present fiscal
year. Whatever new construction
funds are provided in the bill for the
next year will be an actual outlay of
of the cash.

MENTHL COUH DR
BITTEN BY BOL. LWEEVIL
Gaftfney, Nov. 14.-A young busi
ness, man of the city of Greenville
who was in Gaffney last Monday dis
covered that he had a stinging sen
sation in his right forearm. An inves
tigation disclosed the fact some sort
of insect was embedded in the flesh
and after some difficulty in extract
ing it, he was told that it was a
young boll weevil. He repaired to a
drug store, where he applied a gen
erous portion of iodine, but said that
he felt a numbing sensation all the
wayto the shoulder. This is the first
authentic case whero a boll weevil
has been known to attack a human be
ing so far as it is known here.
The election probably won't prove
prove anything, except that different
sections of the country are mad
about different things.
