Norfolk, Oct. ft The launching of Cruiser North Carolina was witnessed by thousands of people today mostly North Carolinians. Piers around the boat were crowded, and many small crafts loaded with people darted around here and there, augmenting the crowd by several thousands. . n Details were ready for the launch ing at 1130 a m and amid, the shouts of the multitude, music by bands and deafening wbiatlea by tugs and excurs ion boats, the new acquistion to Uncle Sam's navy slipped gracefully into the water, and as she began to go down the ways the sponger, Mies Kebeka Glenn, following . the time honored . i v custom of breaking a bottle of wine, broke a bottle af champagne over the prow saying, "I christen thee Norht Carolina." The governor and staff together with the sponger and her attendant and few officials of the ship yard eon stitut- ed the party on board. The momentum of the boat carried her far out into the water, and she gave some idea of how fine she will be when completed. It is said of her that she is fifty-eight per cent toward com pletion, which is generally further ad- vanced than most battleships are be fore being launched. However it will be more than a year before the boat is finished. Many officials of the two states and navy were expected to be present but were detained elsewhere on account of other duties. Gov. Swan son, of Va., and Secretary Bonaparte sent telegrams of felicitation, on the auspicious event and congratulations to Gov. Glenn that his state was to be represented by such a strong and cap able fighter. There was no hitch or accident, and the launch whs an entire succees. Miss Lillian Thompson, of Raleigh, was sponsor, Mrs. A. A. Ar ringtoo also of Raleigh, was daireof honor. A banquet luncheon wos serv ed to the launching party after the boat was in the water.

E. Latham'i Weekly Cotton Letter. Special to Journal: ' . ' New York, Oct 6. This week, has been one of excitement and surprises. Prices have risen 147 points and close tonight practically one cent per pound up from a week ago. Perhaps the most logical reason is that spinners are enjoying wonderfully the prosperity and have been buying for months past and they continue to buy to cover their sales of yarns and goods. They have been supplied, partially by speculators, who have become frightened at the daily weather news which has been bad. The movement which has been small and the disposition to lower crop estimates which is general, as long as shippers continue to buy and refuse to liquidate any of their holdrigs, these hysterical markets may be expected. The crop is not assured yet, but the storms have not curtailed the yield as much as generally believed by the trade,' In the light of experience pres ent prices are high and prices may or may not be higher later on. I think the cotton farmers should seize this opportunity and sell freely. New York Cotton Market ' Special to JoumaL December close 10.29 May close 10. 53 Nice pork at the Oaks Meat Mar ket.

' Raleigh, Oct 8th. Governor Glenn was at his office today and expressed his very great appreciation of the many attentions paid him and the other mem bers of the North Carolina party at the launching of the cruiser North Carolina at Newport News. After his daughter had named the vessel and quoted the words, "Heaven's Blessings Attend Her," this being from the song, "Old North State," and at this the naval of ficers and sailors cheered most heartily, being very much pleased at the novelty of such a blessing. - . v : ' A great many farmers make the very frank statement that they cannot house their cotton crop. They simply say they cannot get labor enough to do this. The rains last week caught the cotton about three-fourths open and of course did damage. Some farmers have as yet picked no cotton at all. Very few have been over their fields twice. Most of them will get all the crop in two pickings. Your correspondent spent an hour at the State Fair grounds examining the remodelled buildings etc, and found the new arrangement to be excellent Next year it is hoped to make very ex tensive improvements of the main building.- " All the indications point to a very large attendance at the fair. On Wednesday there will be a competitive drill by the various companies of the corps of the Agricultural and Mechani cal College.

"If I Were Onlv Taller" is the title of one of the many new laughing sons; hits in Arthur Dunn's latest musical comedy success, "The little Jolcar", which comes to the New Masonic Onera House on Thursday October 11. Seldom have the writers of a musical play hit as gracefully and artistically upon the necessities or peculiarities of a comedian and comic opera star, as have the authors of "The Little Joker", Mr. Herbert Hall Winslow and A. Cald well : Although Mr. Dunn was thought to have achieved his greatest success when he toured the United States two sea sons ago in "The Runaways" it is a pleasing fact to note that in "The Lit tle Joker" he has found a vehicle which not only offers practically unlimited possibilities for himself, but is so well constructed that throughout the two hours and a half duration of the per formance not one moment lags and every principal part so cleverly wrought and played by the competent artists engaged to support Mr. Dunn that ones soime of interest is never allowed to rent even though Arthur Dunn is not on the stage himself every instant.

Contrary to calculations and predictions of repub lican managers, that by declining; a joint canvass this year of the county candidates, there would be very small attendance at the appointments, . the going it alone of the democratic candi dates, is proving a decided improve ment in drawing crowds, as at every appointment the attendance is much larger than two years ago at the same places when both republican and demo cratic candidates swapped opinions and gossip on the, stump.,..
