What the People of Port Royal Have to Say About the Removal to Charleston. As a matter which involves in natio val defense and a waste of the nation's funds, we commend the following to the attention of your readers: The paragraph in the naval appro priation bill, as it now refers t> the Port Royal (S. C.) naval station, pro vides that $800,000 shll te spent for the improvement of that plant uinless the secretary, after a report by a com petent board of naval officers, shall decide that the interests of the Govern. ment would be better served at Charleston. In which case, the sta tion shall be transferred to the latter place. This last proviso is the result of strenuous efforts by certain Charleston interests, and has teen cunningly con ceived, based on false claims, and fos tered in secret. We would say to the country this fight is but begun, and fought fair and in the light we have no doubt as to the issue. Several naval boards composed of eminent naval authorities have ex amined Port Royal harbor at different times with a view to determining its availability for various naval pur poses. They have always enthusi asdcally endorsed the place, and we are confident of a favorable report in this instance, if an unbiased board be appointed. Those who are behind this measure are noisily announcing that the see retary approves of the proposed re moval and the station is already Charleston's. We have a iigh opin ion of Secretary Long and do not be lieve him capable of such action-of prejudging a case without an inves tigation. It may be, however, the car of those in power has been secured by the men interested in this waste of the public funds. Therefore the mat ter is laid before the country that it I may see it is proposed that the natio nat interests shall be sacrificed for the benefit of a certain locality; for pub licity will insure a deci-ion based on the public welfare-the national de fense. We bereby announce to the secro-, tary of the navy and to the country that we propose to provw, before the boari to be appointed, the following ts offcial dociuients and ources: nt site was earefully ts par - - ort ' al author' Ac- i e barber an a e the best on the I lantic coast, and will permit the na of the nation to ente in double column to manoubtvre andl to find ample and protected anchorages. The entrance through the bar is broad, deep and natural; the 'ha;bor anchorage unap magntade :and he thrn cheadla.nds.

It st less to build than any other Gov mont dock; has cost less to mnaint t, and is to-day abso lutely firm - its foundatirns.

Th Charleston offers no superior ad tages, and none commensurable wita some of those above described. That the proposed abandonment of this property would be a criminal act. If tbis splendid navy yard is sr.cri ficed, it will be through the pet tinss of a few pleasure-seeking officers, the cupidity of certain commercial com binations. and1 the cunning of politi cians. .Beau fort 'committee on Naval Station.1 '-DeWitt's Little Early Risers are the finest piill T ever used."-D.

Hope we will get s' d a good teason sooln, as the crops ared needing it badly. Cotton is looking fairly well and is in pretty good lix. The corn is very snai and bad stands. Gardens are going to be very good. A few nice rains and there will be an ~ abundance of vegi tables around tere, b< Irish potatoes excepted, It seems M4 that the day has past for raising this c delicious crop in this country, own he to the potato beetle that has been so cz distructive in thle past few years. CO Melons are very promising at this p timje. Fruit will be plentiful. Black- be berries and plums are beginning to su ripen and the "coons" are happy. sal The small grain crop is being bar- bo vested now. Both wheat and oats are bu very good. So] [n this country. le sowed them in Auauit when he laid b-V !.is cotton, ;o ing the grain in the rows, thenI ru1 his cultivator along the rows covering the seed lightly. About I Mfarch he broke th: cotton stalks and pulled up the stubble to make way for the cradle. It is said by several that be made from 40 to 50 bushels per icre on one field of 0 acres. Mr. S. R. Patrick has overhauled bir; threshing outfit and started it out yesterday. It will be under the man agament of R. L. Patrick and T. L. Gladden. These young men are dustlers and know how to manage a th -eshing machine. rom Hill, the wizard, has changed hi; base of oferation. He has been scen recently in the swamps of Dump er's Creek, west of the railroad. The Southern Railway Company I have painted their buildings at this I place. The young Messrs. Patrick have shipped their pet donkeys. The climate here did not agree with them. Mr. W. E. Hendrix has been very utwell for some time. We hope hel will soon be all right again. Mrs. J. B. Yongue, of Charlotte, is) visiting her relatives, Capt. and Mrs. S H. Terris. Miss ;Lila McDowell spent several da3s recently with relatives in our( town. The Rev. J. A.

T'he graiu crop will not yield as ouch as was once expected, though ome crops are very good. The oat crop was damaged consid ~rr.bly by the winter fr ceze; as a result he yield will not be good.
