AYCOCK'S MESSAGE. In his message to the General As sembly, which appears in full on an oher page of this paper Groverner Ay cock makes a concise and comprehen sive statement of the affairs of the State and officers some excellent ad vice to the newly elected l?gislators. The message is well prepared, and while of necessity rather lengthy, it is by no means tedious, as such docu ments often are. At the ontset the Governor makes note of the gratiy ing condition in which the State . now flnd& itself her citizens are prosper ous and the revenues are adequate for the needs that the Legislature will be called upon to supply. At the close of the fiscal year, in November last, there was in the Treasury for general purposes 339,683.30. Tne machinery and revenue acts passed by the last General Assembly have worked ad equately, and with a few changes, to overcome features declared to be un constitutional are perhaps as good as can be made under the constitution. The Governor calls attention to tne careful consideration that should be given the whole subject of taxation, and very truly says that there the burden becomes too great the State loses much revenue by reason of th evasion of payment by property own ers. The Governor urges a law against trespassing on railroads as a means of protecting both the railroads and the public and notes in this connec tion that sixty people are killed each year by walking on the railroad track There is need of greater powers for the corporation Commission so as to prevent a controversary as to its juris diction. Among other things, it should be allowed to permit the rail roads to have only one fare, as is done in other States. 1 regard to the South Dakota bond suit, the Governor advises that the Legislature settle the judgment upon tne best terms, which, he believes, will be materially less than the full amount claimed. The remaining out standing bonds he also thinks should be taken up upon the best terms ob tainable. The Governor greatly deplores at tempts to raise the race issue in the matter of education and calls atten tion to the duty of the white people to help the negro-secure an education. We should train him ourselves rather than to leave the field open for out siders, who are likely to train him out of harmony with the people among whom he lives. .Provision should the Governor thinks, be made for the pay ment of the expenses of the Superih tendent of Public Instruction, in his travels over the State, since the re fusal of the railroads to furnish him with passes. The income of the Uni versity should be increased to $50,000. Ample provision for the care of the insane is strongly urged and on this subject the Governor very truly says The constitution requires it,hunianity demands it and the platforms of all parties pledge themselves to accom plish it. The State is able to bear the necessary burden for bringing about this result and nothing short of its accomplishment will satisfy the public conscience. 1 cannot too strong ly urge upon your honorable body the necessity of making adequate pi ovis ion for the care of the insane." No braver men ever went to the front in battle than the North Caroli na soldiers in the civil war; no more heroic women ever suffered with quieter patience than those of our State during the period of that awful contest. They offered their lives and gave of their substance everything to the cause of the SouthernConfederacy. At the time they were in the main, young and in no need. To day they are old and want the necessaries of life. The State is paying out 200,000 annually as a recognition of their ser vices but this is not enough. Still further provision remains yet to be made. The first, second and third class pensioners are not in so much need as the fourth class pensioners Provision should be made for the gradual raising the pension for each member of the fourth class untill it shall reach 25. If, in your wisdom, you can see your way clear to do more than this I shall be glad, the State will rejoice, and we shall all still re main in debt to the glorious men and women who made history for us from 1861 to 1865 in such fashion that we can never be weak nor craven without falling away from the high estate to which they raised as. The Governor is strongly impressed with the number of divorces being granted in North Carolina and recoin mends the repeal of all laws creat ing causes of divorces other than those in The Code of 1883. The Chief Executive renews his rec ommendation of two years ago that a reformatory for youthful criminals be established, and gives excellent reasons therefor. He thinks well of the sug gesticn of the directors of the peniten tiary that funds earned by tne har dened criminals in that institution should be put to that use. Attention is called to the excellent management of the State's prison by the present directorate. What amounts in effect to a mild compulsary law in the mill settlements is suggested by an amendment to tne child labor law providing that "no child who cannot read and write and who is over 12 years of asre and under 14 shall be permitted to work in any of the factories of the State where children are now prohibited from working under 12 years of age." In reviewing: the litigation in con neetion with the Atlantic & North Carolina Railroad and the lease of the property the Governor speaks of the investigation he baa oi tne manage ment of the property ana says he is gratified that the report shows no cor rupt conduct on the part of anybody connected with the road. The Governor is gratified at the de crease in the number of lynchings in the State, and urges more effective laws for the nunishment of those rr ticipating in lynching as among the needs of the State. It 1S reCOfflmATlHpri fhf. TTiATtiimDnt be erected to the late ex-Senator Ran SOm, Whose S(rvip.p t.n tYia Sfato were indeed manifold. The Governor also urges that the salaries of iudires be in cresaed especially since the cost of living has risen to so great an extent. The messasre. as was said at the out set, Is a well prepared one, and shows careful study of the subjects under! cousiaeration, ana it will be to the in terest of the State for the legislators to give it careful stndv. fiovfmor a v cock has given North Carolina a good administration.but in his last message before retiring to private life he makes not eren pardonable reference to the success of his conduct of the affairs of the State. The retiring Chief Executive is an able man, and his message reflects the fact. The Oxford Orphan Asylum contin ues its excellent work for the orphan children of the State. - It merits the continued support of the State. It is doing the best work in its history. OXFORh ORPHAN ASYLUM FOR THE COLORED. I recommend that; a careful investi gation into the work of this institu tion be made and that provision be made for the appointment of directors on the part of the State for its control Charlotte Observer. 3 U OS'7 ?.3 v. fy, : r- T& k lv ccu uvcm i: .3r -a MS ruw . . - i? hi fjv i alee wa vvh t SJ U fi U. a rs lousordizzv.

Just weeks from the day she was married and about the same hour of the day her funeral was preached, and she was laid to rest near the church she loved so much, and of which nhe had been a member since her 13th year, (Concord church, Flat River Asso elation) and was baptized by Bro. H H. Mashburn. She was a model young woman and everybody who knew her loved her. This was attes ted by the large crowd who attended the funeral. Although the day wan cold and disagreeable the church was filled with those who were anxious to show a lawt respect to the deceas ed. To us this seems a strange prov ldence, why one so sweet and lovely and In the very bloom of lile, with such a happy prospect before he should be so noon cut down and all the prospects blasted.
