Re c u-iting the beginning of the war between the United States and Spain, and the President's call lor volunteeis, he says: "Nt rtb Carolina has reason jtobepri udof the record made bv her sons in this war so right fully declared and so quickly brought to a successful conclu sion. The First North Carolina regiment was mustered into the service of the United States among the very first iu all the countiv. In the battle cf San tiago t was North Carolina that j:Jve UP ore the bravest and best in all the land when Lieut. Win. E. Shipp was strick en dvp. He was recognized in the army and throughout th country, as an officer of excep tional merit. Amongthose who fell at Cardenas was another North Carolinian, Worth Bag- ley, who was the 6rst cominis- siot ed officer killed in the war. Upon the occupation of Cuba by our army, the First North Caro lina regiment was the first to enter t he capital city of Havana, and the first to bear the flag through its thoroughfares. Reports of the Secretary of State, of the Auditor and Treas urer and heads of ether depart merits are submitted. The work of the Geologieal Survey is shown; legislation for the pre vention of forest fires is recom mended; also legislation for the improvement of the publicroads. The State agricultural Society, the Governor savs, has done j good work the past two years; I the State Museum is commend ed; also, the Normal and Indus- ; trial College, nnd the College of Agricultural and Mechanic Arts; the colored college at Greens boro has not been as largely patronized as the amount of money expended upon it would demand. Appropriation is rec ommended for Oxford Orphan Asylum. The State Penttenti at 3' is treated upon at some length. Since the beginning of bis term, the Governor says, he has issued fifteen commutations and 107 patdons. Other sub jects briefly treated of are: The A. & N C. railroad; disburse ment of some $25,000 for mobi lizing and mustering troops which the United States refuses to pay; the Soldiers' Home; the State's credit; public printing; public charities; health matters; the public schools. As to other matters, the Governor says: The University. The statement of the condition of the University sent herewith is one made to the Governor by the president of that institution in an informal way. The report in full of the University will be made to the General Assembly at a later day. It i3 a matter for profound gratitufe that the University has now the largest attendance upon its classes that it has ever had in its long and useful his tory. And this increase in the number of its students has been secured in the midst of business depression, such as heretolore has never been known in this State. It is believed that larger and more beneficial results are being secured by the public from our University "than have been gotten from any other educa tional institution of a similar kind in the country upon an equal expenditure of money. It is also to be recorded that the spirit and practice of the North Carolina University is thoroughly catholic. It stands for no castes in society; for no special set of speculations in science or philosophy; tor no special view of economic thought. It throws its doors wide open to ail classes of vcung men who seek cultivation, with out regard to their wealth or en vironments, or connections or convictions The appropriation made to this institution hereto fore have been wisely and eco nomically used, and I recom mend to the Legislature to make such additions to the appropri ations for its treasury as may be demanded by its increased at tendance and as may be justified by the conditions of the public finances. The Insane, Deaf, Dumb and the Blind. The reports, respectively, of the Western, the Central and Eastern Hospitals lor the Insane are transmitted herewith, and your attention is called to the recommendations therein con tained. These recommendations are made bv experts in these matters and things to which they relate, and will be more valuable in informing and di recting the legislation than any thing that might be advised by non experts. It i to be hoped that thi Legislature through its com mittees, will make a carelul study of the accompanying re ports of the boards of these hos pitals, with view of providing operating rooms and facilities for the colonizing ol certain pa tients mentioned in the reports referred to. The reports of the boards hav ing control of the School for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb and Blind are transmitted here with, and the recommendations in these reports deserve careful consideration and study at the hatids of the people's representa tives. During the last year com modious and well adapted struct ures have been erected upon the grounds of the institution for the education oi the blind in the city of Raleigh, and these build ings wilt, it is believed, enable thise institutions to do their work more comfortably and more thoroughly thao hereto fore. I recommend to the Gener al Assembly to take such steps at this session as tbej mav deem necessary to gather into these several schools all those unfortunates who ought to be in one or the other of these in stitutions, but who have not been reached hitherto. The stage of progress of a Christian people is determined by the pro vision they make for the care, comfort and education of the unfortunate, more than by any thing else. And this is as it should re. No people can be justly entitled to the name Christian that does not look after the unfortunate and pro tect the weak. Special atten. tion is invited to the report of the North Carolina Institution for the Education o! the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind, where in the special needs of that in stitution are specially set forth. Reformatories Recommended. The most enlightened states manship, the dictates of corn man humanity and the teach ings of Christianity, unite to urge upon the law-makers of this State to establish one or more reformatories for the care and reformatory of young crimi nals. To send a youtn to the State's Prison, and compel him to be, lor months and years in association with hardened and confirmed criminals, is to make it sure that he will receive an education in crime, and be turn ed out upon society a desperado. All those who have given special study to the subject, are of opinion that it is better and cheaper to prevent crime than it is to punish it. And the experi ence of those States which have erected reformatories should en courage us to lose no further time in providing institutions wherein youthful evil-doers may be retained and taught to be useful citizens. I, therefore, rec ommend to the General Assem bly to take this matter up at the present session, and do what may be deemed wise and suffi cient to put North Carolina in line with many of her sisters in this regard. It is believed that the peniten tiary authorities have done all they could to protect the juve nile criminals from the results of evil associations, but their ef forts in this behalf are necessari ly limited. The North Carolina Rail- Rf AD. In the early part of the year 1897 a suit in equity was brought by the Southern Rail road Company in the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern district of North Carolina, to set up the 99 year lease of that road to the South ern, to have the lease declared binding and valid in law, and to enjoin the North Carolina Rail road Company and certain offi cers of the State, from bringing actions for the purpose of invali dating said lease. In the course of this litigation it became ap parent that the Federal court would entertain the suit and would decree the relief which wa prayed for by the com plainant. Seeing that this would be the result, I advised the directors of the North Caro lina Railroad Company to sub mit the matter to thr court upon the pleadings and proofs with out further resistance, provided the Southern Railroad Compa ny would pay all the costs of the litigation and would save the State treasury harmless against all expense. This was done, and thereby a large amount of money was saved to the State and to the North Carolina Railroad Company. The court entered up a decree in favor of the Southern Railroad Company. By this action, the rights of the State as a sovereign are in no wise impaired or affected. The suit was substantially be tween the Southern Railroad Company and the North Caro lina Railroad Company. The decree is in no wise binding upon the Legislature. The Railroad Commission. In the month of. September, 1897, two of the railroad com missioners were suspended, and two other qualified persons ap pointed in their stead, under the authority of law vesting this power in the Governor, by the Railroad Commission Act of 1891. The documents, notices, correspondence and reasons for this suspension, will be submit ted to the General Assembly at this session. An attempt has been made by the Railroad Commission to make a material reduction in telegraph rates. The Western Union Telegraph Cempany has resisted this reduction against one ol the greatest rai'road sys tems of the Stale in the matter of passenger rates. This reduc tion is also resisted bv the rail road, which has obtained an in junction against it in the United Stales Court. In both these cases counsel have been employed to represent the interests of the people of the State, and test the question in volved. North Carolina State Guard. The incorporation of many of the companies of the State Guard into the volunteer army of the United States, has made a reorganization has been al ready commenced, and is being prosecuted as rapidiy as thor oughness will allow. Major Charles L. Davis, of the United States army, is assisting in this reorganization at this time, and for the good of this service, it is hoped that the National war office will permit us to continue to avail ourselves of his know ledge and experience in military matters. I recommend that additional appropriations be made for this service. An increase in the funds to be made available for this service is necessary, if our military organizations are to be kept up to the requirements of the times. It is especially ne cessary that the salary of the adjutant general should be in creased to the sum of $1000 per annum. Heretofore, the gentle men who have filled this office have done so at considerable personal sacrifice to themselves. And. an additional reason why this officer's salary should be in creased, is found in the fact that heretofore the work of this office has been done bv an officer cf the United States army. And, in the future, it is understood that the services of a United States army officer cannot be obtained. The S ate ought to be willing to pay this officer a just compensation for the ser vices he renders to the public. 4 A Thousand Tongues Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer of 1125 How ard street, Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that tor many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of the Royal Cure- It soon removed the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remem ber doing before. I feel like sounding its praises throughout the Universe." So will every one who tries Dr. King's New Discovery for any trouble of the Throat, Chest or Lungs. Price 50c. and $1.00.
