Our in dustrial system is based upon agriculture, ana yet this basis of all our development is dependent in this country upon the railroads. Kailroad highways are nc cessities of civilization. North Carolina baa derived more material benefit in the iasi niieen years from railroad develop ment than from any other one source. In.1880, in nearly half of our counties. there was not a railroad.

The committee retired, and n a few minutes returned escorting the Governor eleu and other orhceis. The entrance of Judge Russell was the sicrnal for hearty cheering and hand clapping. The party was assigned to seats at the right of the Speaker's desk, and the ceremonies of administering the oath of office to the officers-elect began at once and was soon ended. Mr. C. II. 31 bane, Superintendent of Public Instructionwas the first to be sworn in. Chief yfustice Faircloth, of the Supreme Court, administered the oath with the dignity and grace befitting such an important occasion. An in teresting feature of the ceremony was the presentation to each of the officers of the pen with which he signed the prescribed oaths.

There is reason to hope that industri ous and thrifty people of other States and of Europe may be attracted to us. and that the tides of immigration may flow towards a State where men may go and settle and feel secure and free; where they may take their politics with them and vote as they please and have their votes counted as they are cast.

North Carol n a is the first Southern State to break the lines of political sectionalism.
