RANDOLPH P.TTT T ITTA X 1 0 VOL. II. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1901 NO. 32. JLS JLJ JLJ JLJ JL JL 3 m i 1. 01 A Remarkably Able Communi cation to the Legislature NEEDED LAWS ARE SUGGESTED Says Our State is Enjoying a Period of Unbounded Prosperity Favors Education and Morality. Tin- following is tin' substance of hr message of Governor 1. B. Glenn 0 the General Assembly of North ; :i ( ! i ;ui : IV the Honorable, the General Assem- !y .!" North Carolina : V.a meet to-day under most favor circumstances. Never before was ue State in such a prosperous eon b.tion. and its increase agriculturally, '.lu.-atifiially and morally, has been uieuemonal. Since the General Assembly last lii't. i-rops have been generally good have brought prices above the ivi-rage. so that our fanners are in j"0l condition ami out iff debt, and heir lands much enhanced in value. New enterprises have everywhere -i'nmg into existence, and the rattle the loom, the hum of machinery the scream of the steam whistle nake sweet music to the indust rial ar. To-, lav our State has taken the -d place in the United States in l:e manufacture of cotton goods and Lurniture. and tirst in the production f plug tobacco. Labor has received good wages, but here is a great scarcity in every line t work, and a growing demand is . herefore lichig made to devise souii 'cmedy for an increase in laborers, 'l'ovided they be the right kind. The cause of education has greatly :,!vanced. (iooi! school houses and ;i:ijiuent. a higher grade of teachers, i sger terms, and a moie general in- !-.-t in school work, are i vide uces of : aduea'i.'ual awakening that prnm- s ureat things i:i the i'uiuic. The !:'.! trend has ; rat u: i i - been o.i- - ami tipward. until to-day out :; !e were never more industrious i - 'her, or took a greater interest in ':!!-; religions. The credit of the State i; first -class: i' i''ai'iical!v , owe nothing-, as our : y-vf- are in excess of our liabilities, id there mow seems no further dang- ur hciu- liarassed by conspira- is si-eki-m to vex us with suits on V. ii-pn.!i:it,.il bonds, as the iover- t- ..f tcr Mates refuse to lend 1 -':i!-.-:ve to - ic'i fraudulent and n'el'c, i y srie.; es.

Weif ,!,,;.. iiiiij',,: -ervants.' The assesed value of all property in llie State is 4iil.o2U.f;(jS.:2 ; but in my judfrnieiil. it petsomd property was fairly fi'iven in. and realty jiistl'v assessed, and railroads and other cor i orations fairly taxed, its actual vabi" v. mid be a billion dollars, enabling us i" have a miuh iou-r rate than al i cut. and sliii have a nuich larei iiv-'i.ue to i.iee; all the -i,lWij;,. UWi of the State. A lair valualion and a low rate are l.ece-sfiry to get more people and out side capital, while a low rate ami high valuation frighten, away both the I o.oieseeker and investor. Railroads. Much has been -aid of late about railroads and railroad rales, both ,.assener and lrci-hi, and how besj to regulate and com mi them. In deal- iio with this question. 1 would ttr-e rpou the (leneral Assembly to cate i'uMy examine the whole matter ot i .ih'roaiis, and while doine- eycryt hinj 1 in law allows, in protect ing the peo ple agaiust iinjusl discrimination, heavy rates, and unnecessary hard ships, at the same time to treat the i ail roads with perfect fairness ;11,J t.ive them every legal right which be longs to them. Corporation Commission The Governor recommends that th-.' Corporation Commission be piven p.mpU- powers to reg-ulate i-imjdaints against railroads and other eorpora t ns; also that passenger fares be t -;ed at 2 1-2 cents per mile with 2 . ..Is mileage fare in books, insurance Commissioner and Insur ance. Since the Insurance Department . as established, the revenue culleet- t : from insurance companies doing; ! siness in the State hai greatly iri i : eased. 111 mm, the last year under lie o!.i .-.vstem, the Secretary of Slate collect ed taxes to the amount of .s I.s::i.N. and as his compensation receivd ices, and was allowed l.fMI(l for clerk hire.

The Commissioner paid f.tKH) and some fees paid hv the i:i snriiiice companies, and alhe id i.iii'd lor clerical assistance, while if tin old system of lees ha.i -hi... tilted, it would have been .'i.'Jv "!!

The work is growing immens'v ach year: lie needs more help, and 1 earnestly hope you will allow enough to obtain ! he assistance required. Bureau of Labor and Printing. Some people seem to thi.d: lhat Lhe work of the Department l.ahor and i'riiiting does little if an; : I : but if 'hey will only rememhe. that it is the only bureau that i;a Cis statis tics from all classes of lah .-. tin-y will a' once see its utility. Th, report fur nished me in regard to elii; ; labor, and tite views of the people ot, ihe subject of compulsory education. : more than worth the small amount w spend for i's maintenance. I hope , ;-!i member f the (Jeneral Assembly will care lully read the Comuiisse: r's' report, as it will furnish him v ,'h a great leal of helpful iuformalh for use in his legislative work. Vagrancy. I also urge that the va . ant kav be amended, giving- adequate punishment in the discretion of Superior Court. Vagrants furnish a great per cent, of the burglars, tres; asset s, mur derers, etc., proving lhe mhIi of ihe 'Id adage that "an idle hrain is the devil's workshop." IVMiiig these id, i is to work will be a reat stride towards answering the exe.l ques tion as to where labor will come from. Agricultural Department. The Agricultural Depart aient is doing- good and useful we: k. and by means of its test farms, farmers' in stitutes, its Bulletin Hilled with practical-suggestions and scieu.ific results, ami its ofher methods of teaching- the people, a growing- impetus has 'been gnyen to farming, horticulture, stock raising, and daryiiig-. The amount collected from the tax on j'eii iiiz-.-r has largely increased and now with iis new facilities, a well-equipped force of competent experts and a sunicieiicv of funds, still larger benefits mav be. expected in the near I'm are. The State National Guard. The (Juard in some respcts is in the best condition it has been 'for years. it has a beautiful location for a per- I llianeilt cncMiiimiient -a M. .,.,.,.. 1 l 1 . ... .... .murium City, and will soon have a target range not equalled by any other State, save that of New Jersey at Sea Girt! Heretofore, limited means made our equipment inadequate. Since the pas sage, however, of the two bills by Congress, known as the Dick bills, if the (tuard will only fake eare of what if gets, and not waste and destroy its property, its condition will be in "evrv resepct first-class. Pensions. What do the old veterans From ISfil to IStki. with a population of only ll.'i.OOO need ? voting North Carolina during the Civil V"ar sent 1J.).imju ot the truest and bravest men to the front. The entire eleven Con federate Stales had killed in battle 74.."24. Of this number North Caro lina lost K'.oT.'i; and when we add those who died from wounds and dis ease, it foots up 40.275. ()IU- soldiers won the right to chisel on their monu ments at Appomattox. "First at i'.eth el, farthest to the front at Gettysburg am' Chicamauga. and last at 'Appo mattox." This is history. These sol diers were heroes. Education. Our State in the last five years has made rapid strides in educating- both the brains and hands of our youth, and every boy or girl in the "State with pluck and energy can get all the knowledge needed to make them use ful citizens. Much, however, still remains to be done, and we should double our ener gies in order that all classes and races be educated in the manner best suit ed to fitly prepare them for that sta tion in life in which God has placed them. I feel very much like saying. i:i unqualified language, that the time is ripe for compulsory education, mak ing children between certain ages go to school, whether they or their parents desire it or not ; for a parent nas no more right to dwarf his child mind than his bod, and every chih should have the right to eet the know ledge that might make a --iant. instead of. uneducated, being left an ignor ant pigmy. Here the governor fakes mi the work of the several State institutions and highly commends the splei id id work thev are doing. Lynchings. Mob law is to be deeply regretted m: 1 if possible should be stopped at ..II l.-.vl,. I -w-ell- aetment of the Watson Law of 1893, with such amendments as will make it more erncient. i.et me snerm. lfn-i- neace officer when :i mob as semble-, be required to order them to disperse, and if they refuse to iiK let all remaining De lieelareit an uiuawie.i assembly and liable to arrest. Hake such officer after making- the procla mation, also take the names of all re-fr..-iiig to go. and xive them to the so licitor for indictment. Such precau tion's will in many nstances save all trouble. Authorize, also, any peacs of liter, in cases where it is absolutely necessary, to call out the military and lake every needed step to disperse the disorderly crowd, for mob law is a blot? on society and injures most seri ously the entire State. Penitentiary. Perhaps the best-managed institu tion in the Stati certainly so, finan cially speakfig is the State's prison. It is seli-suppoitiiig- and has a sur plus today over all liabilities of $242, 131.84. .Owing, however, to the fact h::d most of the pet sons now comiet e,i of felonies are sent to the chaiu uaugs of the various counties, and on iv women, and old and decrepit men. :iih a levy long-termers, come to the State's prison, it will again become .i bitiiien on the tax -pa yei For this reason, and for the further reason of humanity. I do not believe lhat per sons uinler sentences of over 4 years should go to the county chain-gang ; for ihe county authorities, even when ;he do the best they can, cannot lake tin- cure of convicts that the Slate Ones: and so from exposure and hard ships many of the long-term convicts die. I recommend that you lix a limit, requi nig all persons sentenced for four years to be assigned to the State prison Corporations. The governor recommends that for eign corporations be required to lim it Ihuir landed holdings to .'100 acres. School for th.2 White Deaf and Dumb. At the gathering last year in LMor '.auton of the various principals, 'eachers. and promoters of the dif ferent schools for the deaf and dumb, it as agreed by all that the school'' tor the White lieaf and Dumb of North Carolina was one of the best manng-ed and most efficient schools of the kind in the whole country, and was doing- a noble work for the un fortunates from whom God had taken hearing- and speech. Since then charges were made against the man agement, and 1 felt that a lull inves tigation should be had. This was done, and I am glad to say the report shows no corruption or mismanage ment, and the condition of the school tirst-class. Jamestown Exposition. It is urged that the legislature ap propriate an additional S2...000 for the State's exhibit at Jamestown. State Hospitals for the Insane. The Governor recommends lhat ample provision be made for all the indigent insane, and also for all the insane who are not indigent, but that I he latter be required to pay for their treatment enough to reinburse the Slate. Salaries. It is recommended that salaries be increased 1.) to 00 per cent to correspond with the measured cost of living-. Also that the governor's salary be fixed at .fii.OOOe per annum, to begin the next governor. Eeports. As required by law, 1 send you all the reports from the heads of deuart ments and State institutions, and ask you not to titiow them into the waste basket, but to carefully read and con sider them, for they will assist you gieany in your work, and if you carry them home and let your neighbors anil friends read them, they will' give them a higher idea of the State's greainess and fill them with more patriotism and pride. Geological Survey. The excellent work of the geological survey is highly commended. State Capitol. i he governor recommends an ex penditure of -f 700.00!) to .."iOjOOO for the improvement of the State capitol building, and urges the importance of Sugsestious. The governor suggests that no bonds be issued unless necessary, but that if necessary an issue of two or three million dollars worth of bonds at a low rate of interest mi ,ht prove beneficial to the Slate iiuam-es. Conclusion. My message is ended. I have oidv suggested what I earnestly believe was for the State's best good, if I have made mistakes in my recommen dations, you will in your patriotism and wisdom correct them by your acts. I am ready to aid you all I can. All papers, documentsand records in my office or that I can obtain for von, are tree to you, and any information I possess will always be gladly given. My door, whether before or after of fice hours, will always be open to you Only make if known that von are a member of (he General Assembly, and you shall have preference over all vis itors, for your time is short and valu able and you have a right to expect such a preference. J loping- that your stay in Raleigh will be both pleasant and profitable, and believing .hat your acts will prove beneficial beyon.l compare to the hlnti-. m the uplifting- of human!. v mid t,:e ai:-;.;, ration f sufferim-. bid you G o.l-speed in all vour ardu uu la -mrs. and Heaven's blessings on what you may accomplish. b lb GLKNX.

Washington, Special. The liscal year ended June .'ill, I'JOti, produced a record eclipsing- all former hgures tin the subject of immigration, according io the annual report of Frank P. Sar geant. the commissioner general of immigration. During' that period the report says, the population of the United States was increased by the admission of 1,1(10, "US immigrant ali ens, and ()5,(ilS non-immigrant aliens entered at its ports, making- the total admission l,l(i().li.");j. The increase over last year's record of l.(K!),7;V5 U.OlilUilO' aliens plus oo.L'.jo' transit), was 100,51)8. During- the fiscal year 1 !()."), 11,480 aliens were rejected and during- the past year 12,432. Of the immigrant aliens that is, those intend ed settling- in the United States, there were 7(i4,4(i3 males and 3315,272 fe males. The tendency of immigration during' the past few years to gathei its steady increase principally from the countries of Southern Europe is referred to. ''Without exception," the report says "the countries from which we formerly obtained the great er part of our foreign population, and which are inhabited by laces nearly akin to our own, have supplied us with smaller numbers during- the past year than during- 1 !)(),") Ireland 17!).j0. England 15,21 S, Sweden 3.2S1, Ger many 3,010. Denmark 1,22!) and Scot laud 1,111 less. On the other hand the four most considerable gains are: Italy 5.115-"); Russia .'!!). 7(iS; Greece S.974 and Turkey (in Europe) and Asia 5,165. The immigration front Austria-Hungary amounted to '2(55,133, Italy including- Sicily and Sardinia. 273,120. Russian empire and Finland 215.120, China 1.544; Japan 13.S35; the West Indies 13.G56. The immigration from Southern and Eastern Europe the commissioner says is a result of general unrest exist ing among- the laboring classes of those sections which is encouraged, or even fomented, by the agents of the transportation companies scouring- the country for passengers, and the com missioner says more drastic measures are required to effect a discontinuance of the steamship -practices. North and Central States. The North Atlantic and North Cen tral States toe-eilier ve...i-.l mi cent of the entire immigration of l'JOo', and the South 4 pier cent. The report refers to what Commissioner Sargeant believes to have been exten sive schemes to secure foreign labor brought to light in the past year and now being investigated. The'evideiice is already at hand, the report says, to show that some individual or cor poration is engaged in importing num bers of Japanese laborers to work on the railroads of the Northwest. These Japenese come to Hawaii destined to "hotels" kept by labor agents and claim that they are merely seeking labor that may be secured "in the is lantls. After remaining a few davs or weeks there they ship for North western mainland ports. Having- been admitted at the Hawaiian port their voyage hence is coastwise, and thev cannot be examined on arrival at fh'e mainland ports under the alien labor contract or any other provision of the immigration laws. Japanese have been arriving at San Francisco, const wise from Honolulu and Canadian ports, at the rate of 1.000 to 3,000 per month, and the report says several thousand laborers have been import ed under this evansion of the law Dis cussing difficulties in enforcin-- the t lunese exclusion law the i-onort v. commemls stationing' officers in ri,;,,., to investigate and aimrove certifie.-ites ;ued by the Chinese e-oi-enonioif in members of hP e-.-emnt .a .,.,.!, plan to supercede that of loiviiU iI,p investigation made hv Fmte.l sff.,t,.s consular officers As To The Chinamen.

The 'eommis. sioner reports that on the Mexican border Chinese coolies are eonstanth oeing smuggled into this country from Mexico. The President's sug gestion for closing the Mexican bor icr to all aliens except citizens oi Mexico is also urged. During the early part of the year, the report says, the "White slave" traffic was extensively revived. Many of the .U-irls and women, imported for im moral purposes, were brought throned Mexico and secured a right to citizen ship by marrying Chinese born in this country. Prefect of Police Killed.
