The Nary Witli'-ut A nimunition.
Washington. Dec. 21.—1 n view of the
unsettled state of American foreign re
lations, the ordnance officers of the navy
are much concerned over the fact that,
notwithstanding the condition of for
wardness in other respects of our naval
development, the government is today
absolutely without any reserve supply
of ammunition for the splendid rifled
cannon that are placed on warships. It
Is a fact that beyond the supply of am
munition that is given each of the ships
as they go into commission there is no
further supply to draw on.

A BIG INVENTION
That Will Revolutionize tin Cutting of
Grain and Grass.
ROME PARTIES GET IT UP
It Is a R-'aper and Saves Puwer and
Makes G eat
Speed.
A continuous cutting light running
reaper with chain knife has been invented
here in Rome.
Messrs. W. H. Busbin and Shelor
Wright are the inventors and both are
well known gentlemen of fine mechanical
abilities.
There are a great many reapers of course
and some fine ones, but Messrs. Busbin
and Wright claim fortheir machine sim
plicity in construction, durability in its
frame and parts, light running and a con
tinuity of cutting and that it will cut one
third more grain or glass in a given time
and with les* draught on the team.
The gentlemen claim for it a superior
machine in every particular and hope
soon to establish their claim beyond all
peradventure.
If it succeeds like they confidently be
lieve it is not improbable that a big 1 ac
tory will be established here to manufac
ture it and will be the first one of its kind
in the South and that’s what is so much
needed.
