B. Glenn ; thf General Assembly of North i rolina : I'., the Honorable, the General Assem bly of North Carolina: You meet to-day under most i'avor ,!,!( circumstances. Never before was Slate in such a prosperous con dition, and its increase agriculturally, . liic:itinally and morally, has been j phenomenal. Since the General Assembly last j'H't. cops have been generally good ;U!1 have brought prices above the m-rag, so that our farmers are in .no.l ci.iiditioii and out of debt, and thir lands much enhanced in value. New enterprises have everywhere sprung into existence, and the rattle t the horn, the hum of machinery ami the scream of the steam whistle Make sweet music to the, industrial cr.r. To-day our State has taken the -t'cmnl place in the United States in the manufacture of cotton goods and tnruitvre, and first in the production of dug tobacco. Labor has received good wages, but ih'-re t a great scarcity in every line uf woik, ami a growing demand i therefore being made to devise soniJ remedy for an increase in laborers, provided they be the light kind. The cause of education has greatly advanced. Good school houses and t'quipmenf, a higher grade of teachers, longer terms, and a more general in l crest in school work, are evidences of sin nducntional awakening that prom ises great things in the future. The raial trend has gradually been on ward and upward, until to-day onr people were never more industrious or sober or took a greater interest in tii:i'.s religious. The credit of the State is first-class; we practically owe nothing, as our assets are in excess of our liabilities, and there now seems no further dang er of our being harassed by conspira tors seeking to vex us with suits on ld repudiated bonds, as the Gover nors of sister States refuse to lend themselves to such fraudulent and mercer a rv schemes. Taxation. creased In 1800, the last year under the old system, the Secretary of State collect ed taxes to the amount of $ii,S79.2S, and as big compensation received fees, and was allowed $1,000 for clerk hire. T iaa aL f x- companies, and for the seven years j r . . s:nee the Department was organized, Fewteatury. 1,040,804.23 has been received, which Perhaps the best-managed iustitu- makes an annual average of $149,- tion in the S!te certainly so, finan- )43.46.

Thai burden on the tax-oaverw. ror this work is growing immensly each year; reason, and for the further reason of he needs more help, and I earnestly humanity, I do not believe that per- hope you will allow enough to obtain sous under sentences of over 4 years the assistance required. should go, to the county chain-gang; Bureau Of Labor and Printing. for the county authorities, even when Some people seem to think 4hat the thej do the best they can, cannot take work of the Department of Labor and the care of convicts that the State Printing does little if any good; but does; and so from exposure and hard- if they will only remember that it is shits many of the long-term convicts the only bureau that gathers statis tics from all classes of labor, they will at once see its utility. The report fur nished me in regard to child labor, and the views of the people on the subject of compulsory education, is more than die. I recommend that you fix a limit, requiring all persons sentenced for four years to be assigned to the State prison. Corporations. The governor recommends that for- y-orth the small amount we spend for eign corporations be required to lim its maintenance. I hone each member of the General Assembly Mill care fully read the Commissoner's report, as it will furnish him with a great deal of helpful information for use in his legislative work. Vagrancy. I also urge that the vagrant law be amended, giving adequate punishment in the discretion of ths Superior Court. Vagrants furnish a great per cent, of the burglars, trespassers, mur derers, etc., proving the truth of the old adage that "an idle brain is the devil's workshop." Putting these idiers to work will he a great stride towards answering the vexed ques tion as to whtre labor will come from. Agricultural Department. The Agricultural Department is do ing good and useful work, and by means of its test farms, farmers' in stitutes, its Bulletin fiilled with prac tical suggestions and scientific results, and its other methods of teaching the people, a growing impetus has been given to farming, horticulture, stock raising, and darying. The amount collected from the tax on fertilizer has largely increased and now with its new- it their landed holdings to 300 acres School for the White Deaf and Dumb. At the gathering last year in Mor ganton of the various principals, teachers, and promoters of the dif ferent schools for the deaf and dumb, it was agreed by all that the school ton the White Deaf and Dumb of North Carolina was one of the best managed 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--management, and I felt that a full 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 first-class. Jamestown Exposition. It is urged that the legislature ap propriate an additional $25,000 for the State's exhibit at Jamestown. State Hospitals for the Insane. The Governor recommends that ample provision be made for all the indigent insane, and also tor all the insane who are not indigent, but that the latter be required to pay for .

The followng statement was issued from the War departmeut in explaua tion of the orders: "There was a time, between 1902 and 1905, when the colored regiments were not sent to the Philippines at all. In 1905, however, thU policy wa tentatively changed, and the Twenty fourth Infantry, colored regiment, was sent to the Philippines and is now there.
