Frintino Co.. retail Text ol Governor Glenn's Letter In Which He States That He Will Not be a Candidate for the United States Senate With draws for the Sake of Harmony and the Best Interests of the People. The following is the full text of Governor Glenn's statement to the people announcing his decis ion not to ask for further offices within the gift of the people: To the People of the State: Answering letters daily in quiring my intentions, 1 desire to say I will not oe a candidate for the United States Senate. but will support the nomination of Senator Overman. Having said this much, I hope I aaay be pardoned for making the following statement : The greatest ambition of mj life has been to be a member ot the Senate, for I hoped with the opportunities there c-ft'ered for usefulness and power, I could by zeal and energy have accomplish ed much for the fame and name of our beloved State. Six years ago I entered the rece for this honor, but in the interest of har mony retired in favor of Hon. C B. Watson. To-day, for. harmo ny in the State, and to prevent any bitterness, I have decided not to present my name as candidate. Au influential man in the Stat thus writes mj: "I travel a great deal, I believe you can win; the masses of the people are with you; the contest, however, will be tierce, and I fear will do the State harm." I want no harm only good to the State hence the above announcement. Senator Overman asks an nomination as ac endorsement 4 i his course. I have bad a streni -ous administration; the adjust ment of the Sate debt on an hon orable basis, the caring for our helpless ones, especially the in sane;therigid enforcement of the law against mobs and lynchings, and at the same time bringing speedy punishment to offenders that caused such mobs; the per sonal efforts made to protect our forests, open our waterways and harbors, as well as advertise the resources of our State at home and abroad; the upholding Statt sovereignty and demanding obe dience from all citizens; fixing railroad rates alike just to the people and railroads; resisting freight discriminations, and now trying to pass State prohibition these and many other impor tant matters have been greatly discussed, and brought North Carolina much before the public gaze, and it is, therefore, but natural that I, too, should desire that the people endorse and ap prove my course. Still, Senator Overman took his office, having a right, it he does well, to ask an endorsement, while I knew I could not succeed myself as Gov ernor, and have therefore no reason to be hurt because I can not be re-elected. Letters have come to me from friends in every part of the State, urging me to run and saying I could be nom' nated, and so having ambition to serve my people in this capacity, the temptation to offer myself has been very great. WILLING TO TRUST THE PEOPLE. I am not vain enough to say, I could be nominated ; but the peo ple made me what I auj political ly and I would not fear again to put my destiny into their hands, and I don't believe that even those who ridicule the suggt-- tion of my succeeding will vio i lently insist upen a reconsider, J tion of my decision sitnply that they might have the pleasure of seeing me defeated. But I have given the matter careful and prayerful consideration, and I feel that I am doing riht, and in corning to my conclusion two things have actuated me : First, to serve the State by preventing a bitter contest, and, second, I have a still higher motive, to help humauity. My record for temperance is neither new or hasty, for I point to my official acts as contained in the journals of the Legislature of l881and 1898, and as Governor, and I would regard it as tie crowning glory of my adminie tration to have the sale and man u'acture of strong drink prohib ited in the State. To this end I will give all my spare time, my zeal and influence, for we need, and must have, a large maj rity thus showing the people's will and their determination to en force the law. With hostile per sons and papers saying i was making this canvass for prohibi tion's a stepping stone for my own political advancement, or hoping on the crest of a bi tera peaance victory to ride into the the office of Senator, the effects of my own campaign would be weakened and my sincerity doubted, so desiring to be tin trammeled by thoughts of self, but only actiug for what I hon estly believe is the State's greatest good, I lay aside my ambition- Lumberton. N O. APPEAL FOR PROHIBITION. Having, therefore, the welfare of the Stale at heart in wishing prohibition to win by a very large vote.I appeal to all who are inter ested in this great moral move ment to help us, by their influ ence as well as by personal work There is no politics in this move ment, but a question on which all parties, creeds and conditions can unite; and I, therefore, call on all who hold dear home and loved ones, peace and quiet; law and order, aud who desire to promote both the business and moral interest of the State, to take an active part in this great struggle for civic righteousness The victory will be won, and theD, though I will never be en dorsed for the efforts I have made to help my State in this and other great matters that my administration has settled for th State's upbuilding and glory, I will still feel that I have done some good, and can enjoy the ap proval cf my conscience. Enforcing the rate law against railroads violating it, calling the Legislature in special session when the panic came to do jus tice to both railroads and people, and now helping the cause of temperance by advocating prohi bition, was done solely in the in terest of what I conceived was right, and I believe when the benefits are felt, as they will be, will receive the approval of all good citizens. My public position has enabled me to reach thousands of people that otherwise I could not have met, and I only hope I may have used this opportunity for the up building of the State and the im provement of the people, es pecially the young. That I have made mistakes, I admit, but in serving the State have done the best I knew how, and as I saw the right. In my official position I have known no party.condition or color,but have tried to treat all alike, with fair ness and justice. And now I take this method of thanking all my friends for their confidence in me, for the loyal manner in which they have up held my administration and for their earnest wish to advance my future. For the few, who - even when they knew I was trying to do my duty, unceasingly misjudg ed my motives and found fauli with my acts, I have no unkind word, but will try to both forg v the wrong and forget the unde served thrusts. "There is a tide in the affairs of men, whioh taken at the flood leads on to fortune, and we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures " I know that the present is my "flood-tide", and in refusing to utke the political current I lose ! all my "ventures" and surren 'der forever my ambition, bui there is oae thiug higher . than ambi ion, and better than hold ing 1 ffice, and that is duty. My duty now calls me to do some ting else than seek position. I respond to the demand with no vain regrets or intention to "sulk in my tent," and with no selfi k aims, but only for the public good, I now enlist for a big tern perance victory in May, and in November to battle for pure Democracy and State's rights. In conclusion, let me say that want of means, with new bur dens incident to recent afflic Enraged by an April-Fool Prank, "athar Shoots Daughter and Himself. Ahe.UU- D gptch, 15th. Enraged at his 16 year old J .. L i XT 1 1 M I uausfoier, rieiiie, oecause or a harmless school girl prank, Dr. C O Swinney, who recently came here from New York, fired two shots at her, fatally wound ing her, and then turning the re volver on himself placed the muzzle in his mouth and pulled the trigger, dying almost in tantly. The tragedy occurred in the reception room of the Normal and Collegiate Institute, a large girl's boarding school in this city, where Miss Swinney had been a pupil for the past session. Jus-t what occurred prior to the shoot ing is not known, as there were no witnesses, and the girl, while still conscious, could give but a vague account. Dr. Swinney, who up to a few years ago bad been a prominent physician in New York City, has for some time past been in poor health, and of late, it is alleged his mind had been unbalanced. Recently his daughter was one or a number of the school girls who, as an April fool joke, ab sented themselves from school, and the father brooded over the little escapade until it assumed to him the proportions of actual wrongdoing- When Dr. Swin ney called on his daughter at the school this afternoon about 3 o clock, he was shown into the reception room, and a few mil. utes later his daughter came down and went into the room, closing the door behind her She sat down at the piano, her father sitting beside her. Half an hour later girls and teachers were startled by four shots ring ing out, and a second afterwards Miss Sweeney, with bloodstream ing from the wounds in her head, came rushing from the room. In a few minutes the wildest confu sion reigned, school girls and women teachers running hers and there, but Miss Robinson, the principal, speedily restored order and hastily summoned a physician. Miss Swinney was desperately wounded and there is little chance for her recovery. The room in which the tragedy oc curred showed signs of a hard struggle. Chairs were over turned and the piano stool, with one leg broken, was lying in the middle of the room. The father was lying on the floor, at oneside of the room, face downward with the revolver, with four chambers empty, under him. The attempted murder and su icide were evidently deliberately planned, as before going to the school Dr. Swinney bought a re volver and two rounds of cart ridges at a pawn shop. Although it is said his. mind has been unbalanced for some time, he had never been violent and his family was totally unprt pared for the dreadful tragedy. He was a father-in-law of Dr J O. Sinclair, a prominent dentist of this city, and since his return irom iew iotk a lew wee ks ago Dr. Swint;t.y had made his hom? with him. ! . "-"HROBESOHIAN business builders.

CorreapondeneeotThe Robe Ionian. There is music in the air this morning; the deep baying of a pack of hounds falls on my ear, accompanied by the shout of the unismen, as tney are running mrougn me orancn near car, home. I love to hear the differ- j ent voices of the dogs, and the cherry blasts of the horn, which remind me of olden times, when nearly every boy in the neighbor hood owned fox hounds, and was often engaged in hunting Master Reynard, these same boys, so gay and happy, were soon march ing away from home and loved ones to scenes of conflict and bloodshed, and many of them have long filled soldiers grtves When my own and only by other went away to the war from whiefi he never returned, his dogs were the pets of the family, especially my dear mother, who fed them from her own hand, and alas! they never knew again the care of their young owner, nor fol lowed his swift footsteps to the chase any more, bat they were kept, and lovingly cared for in the old home until they dUd of old age.
