The Cruiser North Carolina.
Raleigh Times.

Raleigh Times.
The new gem OF the ocean, the
cruiser North Carolina, has elected
both comment and admiration from
the papers of the South. The Dan
vile Bee, discussing the cruiser,
''trusts that Virginia may claim
some credit for the performance Of
the vessel, since she was constructed
at the Newport News shipbuilding
yards and the chief naval cOnstruc-
tor of the United States is a Virgin
ian. Here is what the Bee SAYS:
"Of course the big armored cruiser
North Carolina had to break all Ameri
can records and become the new queen
of the navy The people Of our sister
State would not have accepted the vessel
had she failed to sweep everything be-
fore her. AS it is, however, the 10000
ton cruiser on her recent speed trial
maintained for over tours a speed OF
% .4S knots, or nearly hall knot more
than the contract requirement. She
made this splendid record, too, in a
boisterOus sea and under other unfavOr-
able conditions. We trust that Virginia
may claim some credit for the perform
ance OF the vessel, however, since she was
constructed at the Newport News yards
and the chief naval constructor OF the
United States is a Nirginan. We con-
graduate our neighbOrs upon the
achievement of their States namesake,
and trust the North Carolina may ac-
quit herself as gloriously in battle, ii her
services shall ever be needed in uphold
ing the honor of protecting the terrific
rial or national rights of this Govern
ment. In such event we confidently
count on finding the North Carolina be-
side the splendid battleship Virginia and
the two always accquitting themselves
as gallantly and as creditably as the
people of the sister commonwealth have
ever done in peace and in war"
OF course, as the Bee says, the big
armOred cruiser had to break all rec
ords. 1t was Just Tar Heel like
Since the North Carolina was built
at Newport News and since a Virgin
ian is at the head OF the naval con
structiOn in the United States, we for
one are willing to give Virginia some
credit-nOt much-fOr the perform
ance. Here's hoping that, i'll case
necessity compels it, the cruiser North
Carolina and the battleship Virginia
may steam side by side and render
such an account of themselves as the
sons of the grand old States whose
names they proudly bear.

STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
Next Meeting Of Governor and Council
Tuesday, May 26, at 10 A. M.

From information given out at the
office of the secretary of State it is
learned that the number of corpora
tons which were organized in Maine
under the general law during the
month of April and filed their certifi-
Gates at the Office was 80. and that the
amount received in fees was $776O.
Compared with the business of the
corresponding month of 1907 there was
a difference of but one corporation in
the number organized during the
month, the number for April, 1907, be-
ing 98, but the amount received in fees
during the past month, when COM
pared with that of a year ago shows
decided falling off, the amount re-
ceived in April 1907, having been s11.
$50. And the same is true of the bust

period of last year. as will be seen by
