Some Notes About the Raleigh.

The Richmond Dispatch says edito-
rally: "The Raleigh is noble ship
with a noble name. Wherever she
sails North Carolinians' hearts will 90
with her, and we hope tha to sons
OF the Old North State will be awarded
the privilege Of offering and manning
her, which will be ust the same As
mailing the Stars and Stripes to her
mast"
Speaking of the launching, the Nor
folk Ne,cS and Courier says: Amidst
all the cheering and the noise as the
Raleigh swept out into the water. the
hero OF the occasion, naval constructor
Bowles, was swung like child upon
the brawny shoulders of the construc-
ton gang, whose cheers and happiness
made so many glad. And the beauti-
ful and charming lady, Mrs Haywood
in whose pride we all glory and whose
honor is our happiness. gracefully and
graciously received all the plaudits and
congratulations showered on her. and
with "the fortunate man who is her
husband" left the stand with the Com
modore's party for his house, the bou-
quet of Marechal Neil roses, which
was presented her on her arrival, being
only less sweet than herself. A
mere mention must suffice of the
delightful luncheons and breakfasts
given in the yard. Commodore Weav-
er's dining-rooms were marvels of taste
and daintiness. His guests were Sec.
retary Tracy, several Congressman,
Governor Holt and party (and many
were the toasts to the fair godmo;her
OF the Raleigh), and the North Caro-.

Points About WarreutOn.

WARRENToN, April II Special. !
Although the crops in this section
last year were short to an extent cal
culated to dishearten the people, it is
learned that farmers are going to
work with a will and determination to
90 better this year. 1t is generally
believed that the acreage in cotton will
be much reduced and that more corn
will be planted as well as other food
crops. a tobacco market was started
here about Z years ago and it has had
many difficulties, but is now firmly es-
tablished. Warrenton is fortunate in
possessing business men Of energy and
pluck and all difficulties have been sur
mounted. AS delightful place
to spend the summer Warrenton is un-
excelled, splendid water, fine climate,
a beautiful surrounding country and a
congenial, refined and cultured people,
who from time immemorial have been
noted for their hospitality and refine
ment. For years people from the
eastern section have found heal.h and
rest here during the summer months
The Phoenix hotel has recently been
renovated and newly furnished and un-
der the management of Mrs. R. b
Long, who has had much experience
in the hotel business and thoroughly
understands how to set a good table,
the travelling public can rest assured
they will be well provided for.

The Hon. jeremiah Rusk, of Wis
consln, furnishes to Mr.. Frank c..
Carpenter this portrait of the ideal
farmer:
Gle must be sufficiently well educated
IN science as far as it is applicable t.
agriculture, and he must be lntclioent
enough to study his surroundings and
to apply his knowledge to the condi-
tons about him. The farmer of he
future will be a business man, able not
only to compel his soil to do its best
IN the matter of production, but to
study the markets and know what will
sell the best, and what will command
the highest price. This farmer will
keep his accounts Ike any other bust
ness man. AS to the question of his
education, when you consider that he
must have a knowledge of all the prin-
clples of animal and plant life; that he
must understand the constituent
elements of soils and fertilizers. and
that he must have some knowledge of
meteorology, chemistry, and the other
sciences closely connected with crop
raising, you will see that the ideal
farmer of the future will have to be not
only brainy but a well-educated
man."

Our Next Governor, Who Shall 1t he,
Editorial from Atlantic Seaside


Editorial from Atlantic Seaside
Many names have been suggested.
Among them, Hon. S. B. Alexander.
J. 5. Carr, Esq, and Hon. G.. w.
Sanderlin, our present efficient and
faithful State Auditor. These gentle
men are all tried and true men, and
we have no. word to say against
any of them, but it does seem to US
that Gov. Holt should be nominated
1t is part of the unwritten law of the
Democratic party to nominate the man
who is filling the unexpired term of his
predecessor, and if Gov. Holt is not
nominated, the party will say by
that act that it has at last found man,
nominated and elected to the office of
Lieutenant Governor, who is not fit to
be Governor. Can the Democratic
party truthfully say so much of Gov.
ernor Holt! We think not, and hope
it will not. We have yet to hear the
first word of complaint as to the ad
minstration of public affairs by him.
so far as we know, everybody freely
admits that he has made us wise,
efficient, conservative and faithful Ex-
ecutive, true to every interest of the
people.
