XXTI GOIiDSBOKO, 1ST. C, THTJKSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1909, NO.74: GOV. GLENN'S IESSAGE It Is a Comprehensive And Optimistic Document. Urges Conservative Policy and Sug gests That The Fewer Laws the Legislure Enaets Aod the Earlier it Adjourns tiie Better Governor Glenn's final message to the General Assembly was read by him in person before that body in joint ses sion Thursday at noon. The message covers all features of State government, affairs of state, and is self congratulatory and optimistic, opening as follows: "Two years have elapsed since the General Assembly of the State met in regular session, and since that time many important matters have taken place. I doubt if in any administra tion during times of profound peace more impressive events have transpir ed than have during the last four years. Never in its history has the State been so prosperous, and truly can it be said that its progress and upbuilding along all useful linesjhave been so unparal leled that its name and tame have now extended tothe uttermost parts of the earth. Even though a severe panic, crippling business, turning men and women out of employment and casting its shadow over all who toiled and had money in vested, has prevailed through out the country, its i blighting effects iell comparativelylightly on our peo ple, and seemingly they have prosper ed while others'gsuffered. In order that you may see thejj necessity of al lowing nothing to bej done to retard our advancing prosperity, but should pass all laws needed to encourage, not hinder, future development, it may not be amiss, not in a spirit of boasting, but ot thankfulness to God tor untold mercies, to recount some jot our many achievements during these four years of plenty." The Governor then recounts and re views in detail and speculatively the State's .industrial, intellectual, moral and financial renaissance under his four years administration, whereby the Old North State's "name and fame have been e'xtendedi,to the uttermost parts ot the earth;" and therewith, too, has gone, and will abide, the "name and fame" oi Governor Robert Brnad nax Glenn. In the message the Governor sug gests the following commendable COXSTITUTIONAi AMENDMENTS. Having given tiny views as to th laws needed tObetenacted, I will sug gest to the general assembly that it submit to the people the lollowing constitutional amendments: . - First. Give the governor the vet power. North Carolina and Rhode Is land, I am informed, are the only states in the Union where this power is ' de nied the governor. It the governor abuses the power, two-thirds ot the members of the legislature can pass the law over his veto, while having the right to veto often prevents unwise and ill-advised laws froing being passed. With the veto power the executive acts asaheck on the legislature, and the legislative branch on the executive, and thus the people are protected. Second. Let all state, county, town ship and municipal officers be elected for four years instead of two. Third. Let the general assembly only meet oncejjin four;,years, unless for some extraordinary purpose it is called in extrasessionby the gover nor, with the approval of the council oi state; then let thesession be ninety days, with no bills allowed to be intro duced the last fifteenj days, except by unanimous consent. This has worked . well in Canada andother countries. We now have too .frequent elections. We are scaroelyioverithe excitement ot one before we are in the midst of an other, and one legislature scarcely puts laws on the statute book before the next repeals or amends them. We need but remember tbejexcitement through . which we have just passed during the last primary and election to see how business is disturbed and even inter rupted by allowingtoo frequent cam paigns. We regret thatwour confined space precludes the publication of the mes sage . complete; but the Governor himself has cendensed.it admirably as follows: RECAPITULATION. - And now, having suggested three constitutional amendments which I believe will add to the state's welfare and best interest, I des'.re to repeat and emphasise the provisions that I think you should enact'into laws: First. Increase the governor's and commissioner of labor's salaries. - Second. Equalize taxation by adopt ing a better mode ot assessing both real and personal property. Third. Pass a legalized primary law and amend the eleotion law. Fourth. Amend our criminal proce dure by putting solicitors on salaries, dividing the state into two judicial cir cuits, appointing recorders or trial justices to try misdemeanors, thus re lieving the Superior Ceurts, and have executions in capita) cases take place at the State prison and by electrocu tion. Fifth. To avoid inhumanity, scan- j dal, and to institute a more effective system of working convicts, thus making the state prison self-sustaining, ' place all convicts binder he management of the fcState authorities, though still to work the roads of the various counties desiring such labor. Sixth. RestoreJthe former powers ot the corporation commission and even give it more power with con tempt proceedings to enforce its orders. Seventh. Strengthen the reiormato ry already established, and yet pass such laws as will prevent the terrible practices that render such institutions a necessity. Eighth. Provide a suitable and sufficient administration building, thus protecting! i valuable records and papers, and also giving needed room in which the various departments can transact their business and be better equippedtoirender more efficient ser vice. Ninth. Pass all laws necessary to protect our forests, insure the building of good roads and better govern and control our fish and oyster industries. Tenth. Either adopt a policy of go ing forward or of standing still, if you believe in letting fcwell enough alone, but it you decide that we . shall go forward, thus keeping up the times and other states, puss such appropria tions as will enlarge and better equip all our state institutions, so as to make them in every respect suitable for the work required and large enough tor the numbers dsmandiag admittance, and do this, even though necessary to have a bond issue to meet the necessa ry demands. LADIES BENEVOLENT SOCIETY Annaa! Report Shows Volume of Chari ty Expenditures. The Ladies Benevolent Society of Goldsboro met yesterday with Mrs. Sol Weil and the attendance was un usually large, as it was the oocasion for the annual report' of the work ot the Society among the needy poor of the community. What this society is ieing for the amelioration of the needy poor of the community cannot be computed, as much of its ministrations will never be known; but through the repoit ot the financial secretary. Miss Mary Borden, we are able to give the follow ing expenditures for the year: ' 1st Ward 119 orders given Gro ceries f 71.00, Wood $59.08,- Mioellane ous $4.50, Total $135.00 .3rd Ward 25 orders given Groceries $.00, Wood $17.00, Micellaueous Total $2(5.00. 4th Ward 117 orders given Gro ceries $74.75, Wood $62.00, Micellaue ous Total $136.00, Edmundsontown 93 orders given Groceries $79.25, Wood $45.00, Micel laneous $8.15, Total $182.40. Total orders issued 354, tor groceries $234,00, for wood $183.50, miceUaneous $12.65, grand total $43915. 57 families helped during year 1908, The meeting mapped out the work ahead for the current year, and the members, with characteristic self denial and philanthropy, cheerfully enrolled to go forward. : The Spirit of Winter. The Spirit ot Winter is with us, making its presence known in many different ways sometimes by cheery sunshine and glistening snows, and sometimes by driving" winds and blind ing storms. To many people it seems to take a delight in making bad things worse for rehumatism twists harder, twinges sharper, catarrh becomes more annoying, and the many symp toms oi scrofula are developed and aggrayated. There is not much poetry in this, but there is truth, and it is a wonder that more people don't get rid of these ailments. The medicine that cures them Hood's Sarsaparilla is abundant proof that its cures are radi cal and permanent. Goldsboro's Red Letter Day. Most Munificent EveMKnown. Mr. SolomomWeil Celeb rates the Passing of His SixtiethBir Five Thousand Dollars to Building Fund of Golds boro Hospital. From Wednesday's Daily. The Board of Trustees of the Golds boro Hospitai were called ogether in extraordinary session this morning at 11:30 o'clock by Rev. F. W. Farries, president of the Board, who, when the meeting Jwas called to order, stated that the puspose of the meeting was to have read to the Trustees a letter which he had received in his mail last night from a member of this Board who was not present Mr. Solomon Weil, a nd he then handed the letter to be read, which is as follows: Goldsboro, N. C, January 5, 1B09. Mr. F. W. Farries, President Board of Tustees of Golds- boro Hospital, Dear Sir: I have always telt a deep interest in the lite and growth of the Goldsboro Hospital, andjof late there has come to me the thought that I rnight do my share towards its development and greater usefulness. I find no institution more worthy and none more in need of assistance than the one under control and man agement of yoar Board of Trustees. I therefore tender to the Goldsboro Hospital the sum of five thousand dol lars, to be used In erecting a building on the lot of land owned by it, subject to the one single condition, that if the Goldsboro Hospitasi ceases to exist, or to carry out the purposes tor which it was created, in that event it shall pay out nf its assets said sum ol five thous and dollars to the. Trustees of the Graded School t Goldsboro, to be in vested by them, and the interest there from to be used by said Trustees to aid in giving special training to such boys and girls as - indicate ' particular aptitude along given lines. With great respect, SOLOMON WEIL.. Upon the reading of this letter Mr. Geo. C. Royall moved that the presi dent appoint a committee of three to at ence draft and convey to Mr. Weil an expression, ot the Board's acceptance and appreciation of his proffered gift to the Hospital, whereupon the presi dent appointed Messrs. Geo. C. Royall, Geo. A. Norwood, Jr., and Jos. E. Rob inson as said committee, and, on mo tion the president, Rev. F. W. Farries, was added, ' The committee retired, and subse quently, with the president in the chair, submitted the following report through the secretary: Mr. President. Your committee are so overcome with the munificence of Mr. Solomon Weil's gift, and coming so opportunely as it does, at a time when the Hospital was confronting an emergency that was pivotal, that we are at a loss for words to give expression to our sense of appreciation of - our realization of what this so generous act means for the Hospital and humanity: not alone the humanity that shall seek its shel tering arms in sickness or aooident emergency, but humanity in general, and through all the coming years, who as they (contemplate this thing that Mr. Weil has done today, will, through its influence, be drawn into closer inter recognition that "it is not all of life to live." There have been hours, days and even months when the promoters of this great charity for the physical relief ef suffering humanity have groped through the gloom of circumstance and prayed for surcease JJof uncertainty. The surcease has come, at length it always does in God's good time, to worthy lives and enterprises. TLe mists have rolledfjaway in splendor from the grandeur of the hills of hope, and the sunbeams warm and tender rest on the beauty of the rills flowing from other generous hearts in the com munity that are to swell this muni ficent gift into proportions common. IGijt City Has thdaybyiGiving surate to the building in Goldsboro ot a Hospital worthy of the city and her citizens. There are those in the realms of poverty who are moaning helpless in affliction by the side of the valley of the shaded river and longing tor the summons to cross, but to whom, through the ministrations of a charity-hospital, other summons may oome has come o'er and o'er and with it that peace and sense of the overruling com mon Fatherhood of God that can come to those onlyjwho have dwelt in the slave-ground of pain and experienced restoration through the ministrations of that good Samaritan the common Brotherhood of man. Therefore be it " resolved. That this J Board aocept the handsome gift of Mr. Weil to the Hospital; That we appreciate beyond expres sion his unfailing co-operation with us, as a member of our Board of Trus tees, in furthering the success and sustaining at all times the Institution committed to our charge. That, knowing him as we do, we rea lize that his innate modesty would deplore any fullsome words trom this Board, aadrt&it the consciousness of having done something permanent for the amelioration ot suffering humani ty will be his chief joy. Resolved further, That the beautiful sentiment breathed in the letter con veying his gift is most encouraging to us ico-workers in the uplift of this Hospital, and with him we believe there is "no Institution more worthy and none more in need of assistance. " Rasolved, that a copy hereof be fur nished Mr. Weil, and to the city papers for publication. Respectfully submitted Geo. C. Royall, Geo. A. Norwood, J., Jos. E. Robinson, F. W. Farries. This repot t was unanimously adopt ed and the meeting adjourned, alter the interchange of encouraging words and the informal adoption of a resolve to go out into the community and in vite the augmenting ot Mr. Weil's gift to a sum sufficient far the building and equipment of a Great Hospital for Greater Goldsboro. It was not officially stated, but it came to the knowledge ef the Board, that tomorrow is Mr. Weil' sixtieth birthday, and he timed his gift ac cordingly. Certainly de we all wish him, as the Aaous has already, many, many happy returns. It Quiets the Cough This is one reason why Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is so valua ble in consumption.

Bean the Signature - Of Ihe Kind Yob Have Always Boqgfit X5 A Mystery That Baffles Police 3E Strange Disappearance of Mr. Thos. P. Can ler, of Selma. Came Here Last Night On Southern at 8:30 to Meet w --a a Business Appointment Fails to Meet It And Has Not Been Seen. WAS SECRETARY AND TREASURES OF SELMA COTTON MILL. Bis Legal Documents and Valuable Papers Foand Today In Acme Fuel Yards. Police Investigating. Prom Saturday's Daily. - Mr. Thos. T. Canler, secretary and treasurer of the Selma Cetton Mill, has strangely disappeared and deep mys tery surrounds the case, whieh at this hour is the all-absorbing topic in this city, where he was last seen last night only for a moment, as he got off the train from Selma, at 8:30 o'clock, and not since by any one who knows him. Mr. Canler recently purchased the business ot the Acme Fuel Company in this city, as a side line, and after putting Mr. Wells in charge, return ed to Selma. By appointment with Mr. Wells he came down here last night, telling his stenographer in his Selma office that he would return on the next train, leaving here at 10 o'olotk last night. He did not meet Mr. Wells here, and although the latter diligent ly looked for him he was no where to be found, and neither did he return to Selma on the outgoing 10 o'clock train. On enquiring at the hotel Mr. Wells whs told by a gentleman who came down on the train with Mr. Canler from Selma, that the latter surely came down and got off the train immediately behind him. This is all that Mr. Wells could learn, as few here and no one else whom Mr. Wells enquired of know Mr. Canler. What became ot Mr. Canler is now a deep mystery. About 9 o'cloek this morning this mystery became more intense and exciting by the finding, just over the high fence ol the Acme Fuel yard, slightly scattered, as if dropped from the top of the fence or pitched oyer U, a lot of letters, checks, bank book, and other papers, belong ing to Mr. Canler, and which he must have had on his person last night, for one of the letters was received by him in Selma yerterday from Mr.' Wells. These papers were found first bv a cart driver, and called to the atten tion ol Mr. Wells on the yard, who as soon as he examined them, at once divined that they pointed to a myster ious disappearance, reverting to the fact that he had tailed to find Mr Canler last night, and he at once phon ed to Selma, to the cotton mill presi dent, Mr. Edgerton, only to learn from him that Mr. Canler was not there that he had been expected to return from Goldsboro last night, but had not done so. Then Selma got busy, and president Edgerton, of the Cotton Mill, and president M. C. Winston, of the Selma Bank, an uncle by marriage of Mr. Canler, came at once to this city, arriving her a at 2:30 this afternoon, and at this hour are busy investi gating, with the assistance of the po lice. Asked for a statement, they both ex pressed the highest confidence in Mr. Canler's integrity, but" at the same time stated emphatically that they have no thought that he has been fouly made away with. They have had no time to investigate his accounts, and can there fore only base their statement on their hitherto confidence in the man; and af ter investigating the papers, checks, drafts and bank book, found here, they declined to express any conclusions formed. , The facts all point, however, to a vol untary V pearance. His coming bejr v g in Selma that he would re- v ,elma on the next train; his: fa. . j to see Mr. Wells here, althonirh he could not well.without design, have- missed him; his failure to call for Mr. W ells at the latter's boarding house just round the corner from the depot. n Mulberry street, where, after fail. in to find him at the depot and hotels the latter returned to await his expect ed call; the utter impossibility for any- foul play to be perpetrated upon hims between these two points on the publics- square at that early hour, witb the electric lights making it as bright as day, the fact that he knew the Acir e? Fuel office and yard were securely locked at that hour and he had no Te,eyr. that be had lo pass near Mr. WeE'e . boarding house to reach the yard acd-i therefore would naturally have called) for him had he wanted lo see him; thu no one but he could have thrown those-' papers over the fuel yard fence un-le&r. by his direction all point to pre-aar-- ranged disappearance. Mr. Canler first married a daughter- ot Mr. D. E. McKinne, of Princeton.. after her death, he married his pres ent wife, who is a niece of Mr. M. C. Winston, of Selma, and he himself hat home a spotless name and is higMy esteemed, and while these facts art given without comment, the Aroub, after the most careful research possible in the premises, cannot harbor for ft moment the shadow of suspicion that the fair name ot Goldsboro is clouded by an act ot foul play upon the miss ing man. Mr. George Craven, editor ot th Selma News, was in the city last night, knows Mr. Canler well, saw him a 9:15 o'clock last night walk from the Hotel Kennon directly across the rai road tracks to opposite side ot the? street, as he. Craven, passed behind him going into the Kennon. Anotltex circuinstance showing that he wa& "about" when Mr. Wells was seeking;, him a half hour earlier. Marriage Licenses. Register of Deeds W. G.
