FRMH f!VM OH^ ANTIQUATED SYSTEM RESPONSBLE FOR ' EVERHMREASM64HSTSAYS MAN Governor In Message to Legisla ture Declares That Recurring Deficits. Must be Made Impos sible. RECOMMENDS EXECUTIVE BUDGET COMMISSION Qrmmits Himself to Cause of Edu cate t. Which He Says Must Not Be Ncgiected Whatever Other Cur< tai!me"t There Must Be—Favors Completion of Highway Program But Leaves Details for Future Mes sages. Raleig^. Jan. 22.—"An antiquated system is largely responsible for many aspects of tic ever-increasing cost of government," Governor A. W. McI.ran declared in his address bc fye the Legislature in joint session yesterday. "It 1? stated that there are approximately department#, commissions, bureaus a?d othy a gtncjea-pomprising the Stttte admin istratipp", be said* of these have, given overlapping duties and responsibilities, so tlat there is much duplication of effort and waste of time and money—generally due to the system itself." The Governor recommended an ex ecutive budget commission; declared that steps must be taken to prevent any possible recurrence of a deficit; committed himseif to the cause of education—to the public school sys- j tern and institutions for higher learning, expressing himself in favor of increasing the equalization fund which is used for the benefit of the financially weaker counties of the State; recommended continuation of health activities, vigilant law en forcement^ reform in judical proce dure, creation of the office of par don commissioner, further protec tion of the public from the sale of fraudulent stocks, an advisory com mission to study the development of ports and waterways with a view to correcting alleged unjust freight dis criminations, converting the geology icai and economic survey into a body with enlarged powers, so that it can effectively advertise the state's nat ural resources; the continued main tenance of fish hatcheries and furth er development of fish and oyster industry generally, thepassage of a workmen's compensation act and the broadening of the agricuitureal un dertakings of the state- including ti e establishment of anexperiment stat ion in the sand hiii section. Highway Program. . Governor McLean stated to the legislature that he favored a contin uation of highway construction un til the entire system is complete. "I shall, within a very short time," he continued, "give this phase of the sit uation the most careful considera tion and make such recommendations as in my judgement wii! be for the best interests of the state. My hatur al inclination is to be as liberal as the general credit situation of the siate will justify." The executive told the assembly men he favored a continuation of caring for the state's afflicted "on as progressive scale as available rev enues will permit, He stressed particularly the con servation of the state's natural re sources. fw this connection he de clared for a development of the coastal plain. "I should like to see eastern North Carolina become a great manufacturing section," he said. Discussing reform in judicial pro cedure, the governor recommended the creation of a standing judicial conference, composed of members of tie supreme and superior courts, the ) attorney general of the state and at least one member of the bar front each judicial district. The chief jus tice should preside, he said, and the conference si ouid sit at regular in tervals for the purpose of exchang ing views and discussing the needs of the courts. "Such a conference," he added, "will accomplish much good if the judges and lawyers will cnterwl oleheartedly upon the task of bringing about co-operation in this important matter." State's Prison. The governor indicated that he ' would go thoroughly into a study of affairs at the state's prison. "I be lieve genoraliy in the state-use sys tem. whereby ti e convicts ere used in appropriate industries for the benefit of the state, including work on the state farms and the state highways. L-Tdie plan, in my opinion, is generally sound and will enable the prison auti orities to devise for prisoners work in accordance with their individual capacity and, at the same time- assure them i=ome com pensation, so that when released they may lhave a d; anco to take their places as law ab'd'ng, produc ing members of society." The governor indicated he wopld have more definite recommendations to make at a future time —License has been issued for the marriage of Miss Mary Ann Sutton and Mr. Shaw Atexnnder DaUas; Miss Letha Smith and Mr. John Stcdman.

A program that covered aH the range from the subiitne to the ridicu lous and back again furnished variety of entertainment for ninety-four ban queters at the iadies night party of the Lunberton Kiwanis ciub at the Lorraine Monday night from 8:30 to 11:30. The rain it rained in torrents aH the day and far into the night, keepinga number of peopte from out of town away, but those who braved the elements and cnnie, spite'n, hat! the time of their lives. Indeed, a < District Trustee H. E. Stacy observed in his address of weicone, the very headdress worn by the banqueters was prvniise that they intended to en joy themselves with abandon; for, as he didn't ray. the paper bonnets whereyvitft the ladies were adorned and the* paper helmets wherewith the gentlemen were unadorned, were more varicot red than the coat Joseph's doting pa made for him. Those headdresses, in fact, made one feet sort of tilt-chinned, carefree and wicked, which may in a measure have accounted for the fact that Rev. T. McM. Grant, who delivered the principal speech of the evening, after taking the revelers to where they heard the roar of the miiky way and flitted tightly from star to star, doff ed his helmet in order to come back to earth and get down to some seri ous knitting. Before that, all and sundry had heard the birds twitter with President and Toastmaster W. K. Bethune; and these various soar ings led to dark hints from Cutlar Moore about n certain room 211, wherein were said to lie locked brush es of comet's hair wherewith to paint the lilly and incarnadine the rose. But talking wasn't ail. Not half. Between courses there were solos by Mrs. L. R. Yarser, Miss Lula Norment and Mrs. J, A. Martin, and readings by Mrs. M. A. Weddell; the Holly bush academy orchestra of Wilming ton discoursed music throughout the evening; Mr. Arch McEachern of the Raeford ciub responded to the address of we!come; Mrs. V. u. uunes grace fully told what the ladies thought about it, Mr. Henry A. McKinnon of Maxton and Mr. Campbell of the Greensboro club made a few remarks; and there was "Something Else." It w*!s so put down on the attrac tive program. It was "something else again." Prof. W. B. Crumpton had charge of "Something Else", and from the way he started off so mild like and in * that wouldn't-hurt-a-fly manner a-body might have known to look out for squalls. And one busted right under his ncise. so to speak, be fore he had gotten through assuring the audience that whatever he might do it would all be for the best and with the best intentions, and not to be frightened. Seemed to be sur prised and sort of taken aback when a young lady came in hastily and 'handed him a note. He glanced at it and sort of started. It was serious. He held in his hand, he said, a note frrm Register of Deeds M. W, Floyd to the effect that the register of deeds of a certain county in the wes tern part of the State had written him that a member of the Kiwanis club of Lumberton had procured a marriage license from him last fall and had never paid for it, and would n't Mr. Floyd please collect it. Mr. Crumpton wanted to know the pleasure of the club, begging pard, n for bringing up business, but it was urgent. Ertel Cariyie and Dr. .1. Martin seemed right much cut up about it. They said it was a shame so it was, to bring this matter up ir that presence, that the young mar was a friend of theirs and they hated to have this made public. Somebody moved that the ciub pay it. Mr. .1 Q. Beckwith objected that the club's spare change was used in helping the unfortunate, and since the young man was fortunate the fund could not be diverted ttii any such use. President Bethune said it could not be done, ac cording to the laws made and pro vided, and it looked like the man might whistle for his fee, when it was announced that the bride said she'd pay it; and everbody breathed caster. Then something eise. Cutiar Moore and Robert C&ldweH were named to ch« se sides, each to select eieven 'other' nien They did that same. These eleven men were chosen for slaughter to make a Kiwanis holi night. With hands behind him, each must nose away from the nose of the one next to him, and nose to the one on the other side, the outside sheil of a common ordinary iowdown matchbox. One on the end stuck the box on his nose and butted it into the nose of the one next to him. When the box huii was fondiy embracing the nose of the second man. the first man withdrew his proboscis a id the second man passed it in like manner to the third. Neither box got very far down the iine. When it faiied to make the per ilous passage it had bo start all over again. Firnliy. when everybody at the tables was wilted with iaughter and the performers were hot from their serious endeavors, the losing side in fiicted some punishment by singing a GOVERNOR GREETED W!TH APPLAUSE Th T*!r4t Message to Leglstaturc Gov erhdr l^e) ^tfh l'fp*{tntsj'artia) i'ro gram of LegMlataMm ^He Wa^ts— A 'fuming Paint in tie t^gisla t:tre. RALEfCH, Jan. 22.—Governor j*ngus Wilton Mr Lean was greeted with a prolonged volley of applause as he appeared before a joint ses sion of the senate and house of rep resentatives yesterday at 12:15 p. m. His inaugural address was a general cuJine of h*3 policies. In his mes sage yesterday he presented a par tial program of what he wants the legislature to enact into law. As the new governor, in the midst of the ritualistic exercises which, by tradition, are attendant upon an event of this sort, appeared at the door of the house of representatives, his approach was heralded and the members of the law-making body stood to receive him. The galleries, lobbies and aisles were jammed with spectators. All joined in the applause widen lasted until tie presiding offi cer, Lieutenant-Governor J. Either Long, sounded the gravel for order. State officials were there. Heads of institutions, together with mem bers of various hoards werif on hand to hear what le had to say about policies that w.i^ govern their wort: it: the future. Several minutes before the time appointed for the joint session to convene, it was necessary for the sergeant-at-arms to address the spectators, appealing to tiem hi clear the hall,and leaver room for the mem oi rs of the senate. Later, the speak er of the house repeated the request. Alven then, it was necessary for some of tie members to sit on the steps leading up to the speaker's stand, so great was the crowd. There were eager faces of women in the audience, many of whom are officiaily connected with the state in various capacities. A cali had pre viousiy gone out, summoning heads of institutions to appear before the budget commission. .Many of these were seated in the iobbies, whiie others stood in the aisles. frequently Applauded The Governor was frequently ap plauded. tlm^ first- applause coming from his hearers when he declared that, no matter what other curtail ments should he necessary, educa tion should not be made to suffer. In keeping with custon% tie ex ecutive was escorted from his of fice in the southwest corner of the capitoi ground floor, to the halt of the house of representatives, where joint sessions take place, by a com mittee of senators and representa tives. The lieutenant governor ap pointed Senators Johnson and Ever ett and Speaker Pharr named Rep resentatives Murphy, Cobb and Greer. The significance of the Governor's appearance .was that it was ex pected to mark a turning point in tl e legislature. Heretofore locai bids have heid the stage, with r. sprinkling of statewide bids sand wiched in. The deiivery of the Gov ernor's message with recommenda tions was expected to start the in troduction of bills involving state policies. Within the near future, some of the; recommendations he made wiil be, embodied in hills, tiid Gov ernor indicated. He was hot prepared . !o say which would be first, he stat ed, Some df these measures- 3a?d Gov ernor AloLcan. will require tlie com ppilation of data before they cpn be .iitroducefl.

Beam was the iucky one, ti e prize being a bottie of perfume. The visitors' prize, a box of cigars, went to Air. W. H, Hasty of Maxton. Each iady was given a most at tractive powder-puff, these favors be ing passed by Mesdamcs F. K. Biggs nd Al. A. Waddeii. Aits. T. L. Johnson and Alis-s Eisic Thompson assisted Mrs. E. W.
