A SILVER SERVICE FOR THE
CRUISER RALEIGH.

The Southport LrAder is to be com
mended in starting fund to be used
in the purchase Of a testimonial tor
the United States cruiser, RAleish,
which is named in honor of North
Cardinals capital city. This is Gus
tomery and time honored way of rec
ognizlng the honor paid by the Gov
eminent in naming the warshlis at
ter State capital, SO the Lea4rr
hopes to see North Carolinians make
present to the Raleigh that will be an
honor to the Old North State.
All sums OF money sent to the
Leaaey will be deposited in the bank
of Hutchinson x Co., in Wilmington
and will be turned over to committee
which will be appointed by Governor
Carr for the purpose. Editor Stevens
plan has the endorsement of the Gov
ernor, and of Mrs. Daisy Holt Hay
wood, of Raleigh, daughter of ex-
Gov. Holt, which lady chrlstened
the Ra!rish when she was launched.
Commander f. Winslow, of the North
Carolina Battalion Naval Reserves,
Capt. !. e.. Morrison, of the Whining
ton Division Naval Reserves, Mr..
James Sprunt, of Wilmington and
others publish cards in the Leaaer en-
dorsng the proposition. Governor
Carr and Mrs. Haywood also have
cards in the LeaIer OF Thursday,
April 18th.
1t is the intention of presenting the
cruiser with a silver service, and con-
tributions of 10 cents or more Will be
received for the fund.
1t is quite probable that the RaIeisA
will be sent here this summer for the
cruise of the North Carolina Naval
Reserves, and indeed it is thought
that two of the cruisers will have to
come as five more Divisions of Naval
Reserves have been recently organlzd
IN the State Wilmington Messenger.
The publishers of the Lfadtr are TO
be commended for the action they
are taking in the matter. 1t is to be
hoped their efforts will be crowned
with success-and we doubt not they
will. Our people should have shown
their appreciation of the honor done
them in naming one of the United
States cruisers after the Capital of the
State ere this. Indeed, some such
testimonial as that now proposed
ought to have been presented the
Raleigh at the time she went into ser
vice. But better late than never, and
now the start has been made let the
scheme be carried to success. Some
lady in Henderson will be requested
to act as sponsor, and receive any
contributions our citizens may be in
clined to make for the object in view.

GOVERNOR James l.. kemper,

Than James Lawson kemper, MAJOR
General in the Confederate army and
thirty fourth Governor of Virginia, no
,ruer son of the Commonwealth ever
passed away no Drawer soldier ever
answered the final roll-call.
OF Governor kemper the faithful
historian and biographer must say that
he was distinguished for purity ct
character in private and public lie ;
that he was courageous on the ii~id
and in the forum that he richly
earned the distinction that he won as
General and as a statesman and
that Virginia never had more loving
son, nor one that served her from

The New York Sun remarks that
"the readers of newspapers now CON-
prise practically the whole population !;
for illiteracy, proportionately triaing
in this country, is fast passing away
altogether" Thus the newspaper is
not only an opportunity for education,
and one that is all the better for not
being compulsory, but it is an oppor-
tunity for business development which,
more than any other, gives life and
progress to community. Think of

ties in single issue of a newspaper

LOOKING AT NORTH CAROLINA.

1t is one Of the signs of the times
that three special sleepers, containing
o. farmers from California, Colorado,
Illinois and other States, passed
through Goldsboro Thursday, carrying
their passengers to Mt. Olive and TO
the section about Wilmington where
they will prospect with the view of
locating. These people are of the
sort we need and want, and their
coming to see is another proof of the
fact that there was never time when
SO many eyes were turned upon North
Carolina as are now-the eyes OF
farmers, manufacturers, miners, and Of
men of nearly all occupations. Of
late years the Western part of the State
has surpassed the Eastern in material
advancement, but the time is coming
when they will be the equals in the
race for wealth. What the East lacks
of other resources that the West has, it
makes up in the wealth of its waters
and in its amazing capacity for prof,a-
BILE trucking. We delight to publish
often the stories of the immense catches
of the Eastern fishermen and of the
profits made by the Eastern truckers
some of the stories read like fables ;
the figures are almost incredible. One
of the best promises for its prosperity
is found in the diversity of its indus
tries and interests. Only a few days
ago a clipping transferred from the
New Berne Journal told of firm con-
Quoting near that place the largest
rabbitry in the United States and Of
one hundred and one rabbits having
been born in one day. This is but
one instance-a very interesting one,
too-of the great variety of interests
which mark the progress of the State.
1t is said that there are but three
primary sources of wealth: the earth,
the forest and the waters. Surely North
Carolina is rich in all these and with
them unites an all-the-year- around
climate of which any State in the
Union might envy US. What wonder,
| then, that the eyes of those of other
sections turn toward the Old North
State2 The only wonder is that any
can be kept away.-Charlotte Observer.
