POUT HOY A L NAY \L STATION.
Reasons Why It Should Not Be
31 oved to < liurleston.
Editor Savannah Morning News :
Asa matter which Involves the national
defense and a waste of the nation’# funds,
we commend the following to the atten
tion of your readers:
The paragraph in the naval appropria
tion bill, as it now refers to the Port
Royal (9. C.) Naval Station, provides that
SBOO,OOO shall be spent for the improvement
of that plant unless the. Secretary, after
a report by a <*ompetent board of naval
officers, ffhall decide that the interests of
the government would be belter served at
Charleston. In _ which case, the station
shall be transferred to the latter place.
This last proviso is the result of stren
uous efforts by certain Charleston intersts,
and ha 9 been cunningly conceived, based
on false claims, and fostered hi secret
We would say to the country that this
fight is but begun, and if fought fair and
in the light we have no doubt as to the
issue.
Several naval hoards composed of emi
nent naval authorities have examined
Port Royal harbor at different times with
a view to determining its availability for
various naval purposes. They have al
ways enthusiastically endorsed the place,
and we are confident of a favorable report
in this instance, if an unbiased board be
appointed.
Those who are behind I his measure ore
noisily announcing that the secretary ap
proves of the proposed removal and the
station is already Charleston’s. We have
a high opinion of Secretary Long and do
not believe him capable of such action—
of prejudging a case without an investi
gation. It may be, however, the ear of
those in power has been secured by the
men interested hi this waste of the public
funds. Therefore, the matter is laid be
fore the country that it may see it is
proposed that the rational interests shall
be sacrificed for the benefit of a certain
locality; for publicity will Insure a de
cision based on the public welfare—-the
national defense.
We hereby announce to the Secretary of
the Navy arid to the country that we pro
pose to prove, before the board to be ap
pointed, the following facts baaed on offi
cial documents and Other reliable sources:
That the present site was carefully
chosen for Its purpose by a board of emi
nent naval authorities.
That the harbor and bar of Port Royal
are the best on the 9outh Atlantic coast,
and will permit the navy of the nation to
enter in double column to maneuver and
to find ample and protected anchorages.
The entrance through the bar Is broad,
deeit and natural; the harbor anchorage
unapproached on the Southern coast for
Its magnitude and sheltering headlands.
No rivers eternally empty here their sed
iment. and no daily shifting quicksand
chokes this harbor’s entrance. Nature,
with lavish hand, moulded a great basin
out of the rock; and the channels, sounded
and recorded by Menendez. 300 years ago.
prove to the deepest draft ships of our
day their unchanging proportions—as they
were then so are they now.
That the government's experience at
Port Koyal lias Justified the wisdom of ha
choice; and any difficulties which have
arisen were foreseen and provided for.
That the dry dock there situated is the
best timber dock the government owns,
and can to-day receive any ship in the
navy. It cost less to build than any oth
er government dock; has cost less to
maintain, and Is to-day absolutely ilrm
In its foundations.
That The machine shops, built of brick
and steel, equipped with modern machin
ery, are capable of making all ordinary
repairs on "men-o'-war,” and are so com
plete as to be capable of building a small
vessel entire.
That the health of the immediate site,
and of the whole section surrounding the
harbor, is excellent.
That Charleston offers no superior ad
vantages, and none commensurable with
some of those above described.
That the proposed abandonment of this
property would be a criminal act.
If this splendid navy yard Is sacrificed,
it will be through the pettiness of a few
pleasure-seeking officers, the cupidity of
certain commercial combinations, and the
cunning of politicians.

FAMOUS C LEMENTS WILL CASE.
Another Cln imunt \ppearn Which
Mean* More Litigation.
Tifton, Ga., June 7.—The Wiley Clem
ents will case is again on the dockets of
the Berrien Superior Court, where it has
occupied a prominent place for fifteen
years, with the exception of one year.
It wiil he remembered that Wiley Clem
ents. a turpentine operator who, although
wealthy, died done anti neglected in a
shanty near Tifton, fifteen years ago, left
a will giving his brothers, Anderson and
Joe Clements, one dollar each from his
estate, and the remainder, amounting to
about $15,000. to a nephew, Thomas B.
Crowder, son of a deceased sister, in Ral
eigh, N. C.
The brothers, both of whom were very
poor men. contested the will, and the
cas© waa tried in October term,
IS9B, of Berrien Superior Court.
At this trial. it appeared that
the wijl was written on Sunday
morning, when all parties were Indulging
freely in corn whisky, furnished by the
testator, and that after he had dictated
the terms of the will. Clements sat before
the fire In the body of his log house, open
ing oysters, while the three witnesses at
tached their signatures in a little shed
room adjoining.
Owing to the absence of the testator
while the will was being witnessed, the
jury set aside the will and the old man’s
wishes, and rendered a verdict in favor
of the plaintiffs.
Mr. Crowder’s attorneys made a mo
tion for anew trial, and while a hear
ing was pending, a compromise was ef
fected between ftie Clements brothers anti
Crowder, and the property was taken in
charge by a trustee, appointed by the
Judge of Superior Court, and about. $13.-
bho has already been divid I between the
three, heirs.
There were 10.000 acres of timbered lands
belonging to the estate, and only a por
tion of this has been sold, leaving several
thousand dollars’ worth of property to
be divided yet.
Andernon Clements did not live long
enough to enjoy his legacy, hut died dur
ing the spring of the present year. The
remaining brother, Joe. lives in Texas.
But now' comes another claimant, and
the w'ork is all to be done over again.
Col. R. W. Winston of Durham, N. C.,
appeared this week at the Superior Court
in Nashville. Col. Winston represents
the heirs of another sister, of the de
ceased Wiley Clements, who in turn, sets
up claim to one-fourth of the estate.
According to some formality, best
known only to gentlemen of the legal fra
ternity, it will now be necessary for these
later heirs apparent to bring suit against
the will already once broken, and secure
a verdict setting it aside before they can
come in for their share of the estate. And
Just here some interesting questions arise.
Crowedr’s attorneys say that if they_can
get. anew trial they will be able to main
tain the legality of the will. If they do
so, will not that also bring up the ques
tion as to the Clements brothers’ title to
the property?
But if the new claimants win, and the
will is again set aside, what is to be done
with the property already divided? The
heirs are in no condition to refund the
money already spent, and even if this
could be done, every dollar was paid out
under order from the Superior Court, and
it is very doubtful if it c*jr>,again be call
ed back for re-division. 1 .*} ;
Taken altogether, k A\<juld appear that
old man Wiley Clements planted a tree
that grew a large crop of legal nuts when
he opened his roasted oysters before the
lightwoed fire in bis cabin at Riverside
seventeen years ago.

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
NEWS NOTES OF INTEREST FROM
THE RIVER FRONT.
The Repair# to the Pilot Boat J. H.
Eatill Finished—%f ter Going on
the Marine Hailany for Painting
She Will Return to Her Station.
Weather Forecast* for Jane.
Matter# of Shipper# and Mariners.
After being tied up several days at the
foot of East Broad street for repairs, the
pilot boat J. H. EstiM wns turned out
yesterday. She will go on the marine
railway to-day to have her bottom painted,
and will .later return to her station.
The repairs required were of a tedious
nature, and their prompt execution was a
credit to Mr. Richard Burns, who repre
sented the contractors, the Savannah
Foundry and Machine Company. Several
of the bow plates had to be taken off and
straightened, and this alone necessitated
the removing and driving of row after row
of rivets. Ugly bends in the stem were
straightened. The heating of the iron was
accomplished by means of an adjustable
fire-box, which was fastened to the bents
and when the iron was heated this box
was removed so that the stem could be
hammered straight. This and other fea
tures of the work was facilitated by means
of a commodious staging which was erect
ed about the bows, thereby enabling the
men to work with ease and safety.
There was some talk of having the pilot
boat repaired in the North. The satisfac
tory work which has been executed by
Savannah concerns from time to time
demonstrates that this class of work can
be done as w’ell here as elsewhere.
The pilot chart for June gives the fol
lowing forecast for the month at sea:
Generally fair weather over the North
Atlantic. Occasional moderate to fresh
gales north of the fortieth parallel and off
the American coast north of Hatteras. In
the West Indies, frequent rains and
squalls, with winds inclining to the ?ojth
of east. Limits of the trades moving
port h ward. Fog, as shown, from off Nan
tucket. northeastward, beyond Flemish
Cap; maximum bands occurring near the
Virgin Rocks and 50 degrees west and
southeast of Novia Scotia and Cape Bre
ton Island. Icebergs to the east and
southeast of Newfoundland and along the
fiftieth meridian to 41 degrees north.
Uapt. Marktschlaeger, of the Dutch tank
steamer La Camplne, reports an interest
ing phase of the recent eclipse of the sun
at sea on May 28. The steamer was in
latitude 44 degrees 10 minutes, longitude
47 degrees 25 minutes, with a cloudless
sky. when at 10:15 o'clock, a. m., the first
contact was seen. The greatest darkness
w'as about 11:40 o’clock At the beginning
of the eclipse the thermometer recorded
.56 degrees Fahrenheit, and at the center of
darkness it had fallen to 47.7 degrees, the
temperature having gone down 8.3 degrees
in the space of one hour and twenty-five
minutes.
The characteristic of the fog signal, a
“12-inch steam whistle.” on Fenwick’s Isl
and Shoal light vessel, off the coast of

tA “Sweeping” Statement
Not one woman in fifty pays any
attention to the broom she buys. She
ought to. It is as necessary in its way
as any other article in her home.
There are some women who do give this article
some attention. They use Antiseptic Brooms he*
cause they are economical, are strongly made, wear
better and, above all, sweep chemically clean. Ihe
old-style broom has none of these good qualities.
Ask your dealer for Antiseptic Brooms. You will always use them. For sale everywhsrs-
