January 1st the News and Ob server printed stories from the mayors of the various cities and towns of North Carolina touching the progress made during the year I 90S and the outlook for the ev Year. We herewith publish the excellent article furnished by May or James T. Gooch, together with his picture, for which we are un der obligations to the News and Observer. Mayor Gooeh w rote the New s and Observer as follows: "The town of W'eldon, N. C, is situated at the head of navigation on Roanoke river and at the intersec tion of two of the principal trunk lines of the South--the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line. While never on a boom, it has enjoyed a steady and substan tial growth for the past twenty years and has as many solid busi ness enterprises perhaps as any town in the State its sie. It is becoming the brick emporium of Eastern North Carolina having three first-class companies with a combined daily capacity of more than 7500 high quality brick. The first of these to be established, The Weldon Brick and Land Improve-; nieiii Company, L. Clark, Presi dent, J. T. (iooeh. Treasurer. Vi'ith an investment of 50,000 j and equipment of the latest im proved machinery, including naee, dry kilns, has enjoyed UOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. Governor Glenn read his bien nial message to the Legislature Thursday. He reviewed the vast achievements of the State during the past four years and rec ommend such legislation and amendments to the Constitution as he deemed proper and necessary. In the beginning of his message he recommends that the salary of the Governor be increased to $6. 000 per annum and that ihe Com missioner of Labor and Printing be paid $2,500 per annum. Governor Glenn recommends i the repeal of the law creating the State Board of Equalization and i urges the enactment of a law that will equalize taxation and provide a better mode for the assessment of real and personal property. Lie advocates a legalized primary law and amendment to the election law. The State's criminal procedure, he says, should be amended, put ting the solicitors on salaries and msn' J- A. Alston i w ' 1 " i- dividins the State into two iudica I a. treasurer circuits. He favors the appoint-, fui operation and it nient or election of recorders for ! surpassed, the trial of misdemeanors, and the I execution of criminals convicted o( capital offenses at the State Peni tentiary. All convicts, he declares, should be placed under the man agement of the State authorities. The enlargement of the powers of the Corporation Commission is recommended. He recommends that the Con stitution be so amended as to give the Governor the veto power; that State, county, township and muni cipal officers be elected for four years instead of two; and that the General Assembly meet every four years. After all, perhaps, we have made some progress in righteous ness. Those six honest council men out of 86 crooks in Pittsburg would have made work compara tively easy for Diogenes, who w as so long looking for even one hon est man. Ujni Manufacturing Co., V. T. Shaw, President, V. A. Pierce, Treasurer, began operations in 1900, with capital of $25, 000, has enjoyed a steady, successful growth and has now an investment of $100,000, employing one hun dred and twenty-five people. The production is men's ribbed under wear, and it goes to every State in the Union and to foreign countries. This plant enjoys the distinction of having increased its product and sales during the year 190S, keep ing its labor fully employed, and paying its usual dividend. The Shaw Cotton Mill, incor porated, V. T. Shaw, President, W. A. Pierce, Treasurer, H. S. Travis, Secretary, is a new enter pr'se just about ready to begin work. It has a capital of $ 1 00,000 and an equipment of 5,000 spin dles for the production of cotton warps. Machinery is now being erected and the mill is expected to begin operations about February 15, 1909. It will employ one hundred people, add about three hundred to our population, and lake its place as one of our impor tant industries. The Roanoke Navigation and W ater Power Company, C. H. Gadsden, Charleston, S. C, Pres ident, H. G. Gensler, Washington, 1). C, Treasurer, W. W. Wig gins, Local Manager, W. H Saun ders, Llectrical Engineer, has an investment of $400,000, owns a canal nine miles long, and is pro ducing about 1, 000 electrical horse power. It furnishes lights for the town, water power for the W'eldon Cotton Manufacturing Co., elec trical power for Rosemary and lights for Rosemary and Roanoke jm I Rapids.
