Inauguration dav dawned clear,
bright, and warm. The weather man
could not have furnished a better day
if he had' tried. It was just the sort
of day to show oft the Capital City
to best advantage and make it a
: place of unending delight to the
many thousands gathered together to
aoo the inauguration of the great gov
ernor of a great people.
From the mountains to the sea the
- clans have gathered Scotland NecK,
the birth-place' of Mr. ' Kitchin, has
sent practically its whole population.
As for Durham, Henderson, Roxboro,
Goldsboro, Klnston, Washington and
intervening towns, if one would find
out who is in attendance from these
thriving cities, the best and quickest
, way to do it would be to secure a
roster of the inhabitants of the afore
said cities and check off the few ah
sentees. They are all here and every
. : -one of them is having a goodlime-.-
- ' They ' began om!ng early yester
'day. Every ' train arriving here yes
terday was loaded to the steps. Last
night the soldier boys began coming
in and this morning they were much
in evidence, some clad in khaki, oth
ers in uniforms of blue. Here and
there one discovered a sailor lad
from tho Naval Reserves dressed in
his picturesque uniform, and so Jar as
the Times man could see, and few
things escaped his observant eye
there was not a rowdy or a drunk In
all the great crowd.
The University, Trinity, and Wake
Forest boys were here in a body. The
' Wake Forest contingent was inclined
to be just a little jubilant. Kitchin
is an alumnus of Wake Forest and he
is greatly loved and admired at his
alma mater. Their enthusiasm knew
no bounds when Mr. KItchm arose to
deliver his address.

Is as follows:
SCORES THE PRESIDENT
Members of the General Assembly,
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Political parties are not only nat
ural but necessary in our govern

legislative powers of the state every
two years, and all the executive pow
ers every four years are returned to
the people, to whom all governmental "
powers belong, and the electors at
these stated intervals determine Into
whose hands these powers shall ", be
committed. , The democratic party
has again been charged' by-the peo
ple with the responsibility f of ' the
proper exercise of .these powers dur
