Tilt' new Governor backed this
up by advocating larger appropri
ations.

in round figures. $12.0oo.00?> on
public education. . This scholastic
year it will tpend, according to
an estimate by State Superinten
dent A. T. All- n. ?:{*;.0IM?,000. an
increase (if approximately 200 per
cent. Millions have ken appro
priated to the State's Institutions
for higher learning, including the
fniversltv at Chap. 1 Hill; the
Stale College of Agriculture and
Kngineerin;:, at West Kalel?h;
the North Carolina State College
for Women, nt Greensboro. and
the Teach? r.s' College, at Greerf
Ville. These appropi iations were
not only for maintenance but for
permanent improvements, an well.
During th" past four years the ca
pacity of the College for Women
ut Creensboro has been trebled.
Improvements ul the other insti
tution.'- named have been propor
tionate.
The value <if public school prop
erty iu North larolina today is
$110,000,000, according to Super
intendent Allen.
Liberal appropriations have
been made fer the < ducat ion of
the negro. This year the State
will spend on negro education
alone, over $4,125,000. During
lth?' p'ist four years it has ppent
' approxln.jp'ly $15,000,000. There
is at this time a movent' tit on foot
i for the establish m< nt of u negro
, college for the training of tiach
1 ers. Already, there are four ne
gro normals in the State system.

years, with the pupport of Gov
j ernor Morrison, Npiih Carolina
; lias established and is erecting a
| training school for delinquent ne
I gro boys, which Is known as the
Morrison Training School. A ne
; gro addition has been built at the
State Sanatorium fur the Treat
| m nt of Tuberculosis, costing
$100,000. This will be enlarged.
I from time to time, as necessity
; may dfmiand.
1 During Governor Morrison's
! term of office, North Carolina has
; appropriated approximately $ l,
' 000. 000 to the negro inHtitulions
for higher learning and for the
I maintenance and expansion of in
1 stitutions for the care of negro
. defectives. This does not allude
to money spent on grammar and
hi Kit schools for negroes.
Only One Lynching
One of the outstanding features
] of Governor Morrison's adminis
tration has been the almost total
absence of lynchlngs in North Car
olina. There has not been one
since 1021. The hist riot result
ing in a lynching was that in
Warren County, which occurred
shortly after his inauguration.
The new Governor sent troops as
soon as he learned of the trouble
and at the same time publicly an
nounced that It would 1?; his pol
: Icy to s. nd State troops to any
community where trouble seemed
br? wing. II" has cousisteutly ad
hered to this policy, and on nuni
I hers of- occasions he has resorted
to the use of troops. Several
times lynchtngs undoubtedly
would have occurred but for the
dispatch of soldiers.
During the late lumuer of
1923 a situation aroae which
brought this policy of Governor J
Morrison prominently to play. He
was officially notitled that there'
was a plan on foot to expel all ;
negroes. including a number em- /
ployed on public works, from
Mitchell County. Nor was the
State convict camp located there
to be spared. The Governor lm-|
mediately placed Adjutant Gener- '
al J. Van 11. Metts in charge of j
t he situation, with Instructions to
use as many troops as necessary |
to keep the threat from being '
carried out. Order was quickly!
restored.
Governor Morrison's adininis-j
trillion has been further charac
terized by certain prison reforms. t
In conference with him. the State)
Prison Board, In May. 1923, abol- 1
Ished flogging at the Central Pris- 1
on and In the various State camps!
and HubstitOted a diet for corpor- '
al punishment. The "dungeon"
at the Central Prison was abol-!
ished and Governor Morrison of- 1
fered a blanket reward of $400
for the conviction of any guard ;
or other State prison employe
guilty of treating prisoners Inhu- j
inanely. Later, he commuted the)
t. rms of all State prisoners, plac
ing them on Indeterminate sen-i
tences. While this does not ppply '
to county camps. It is likely that
legislation looking toward the ab
olition of corporeal punishment In
county camps will be asked during
the present session of the General
Assembly.
It has been necessary for Gov-'
ernor Morrison to All many varan
cleg in the State government.
Four out of five members of the
Supreme Court were appointed by
him. The chief Justice, Hon. W.
A. Hoke, was elevated to that po
sition by the Governor when he,
appointed him to succeed the late
Chief Justice Walter Clark. In
the place of Judge Hoke, up to
that time an associate Justice, he
named Judge George W. Connor,
of Wilson. Prior to that time.
Governor Morrison had appointed
He riot Clark son. of Charlotte, to
succeed Associate Justice Piatt D.
Walker, deceased, and Judge W.
J. Adams, of Carthage, to succeed
Associate Justice William H. Al-J
len, deceased.
Many Appointment* Made
Governor Morrlaon also ap- '
pointed the present Secretary of
State, W. N. Everett; the present
Superintendent of Public Instruc
tion. A. T. Allen, and the present i
Commissioner of Agriculture, Wil
liam A. Graham. The lant named
succeeded his father, the late Wil-|
Ham A. Graham, Sr.. deceased, j
Mr. Everett was named to succeed
the late Colonel J. Bryan Grimes j
and Mr. Allen was appointed to j
succeed Dr. E. C. Brooks, when !
the latter was elected president of
the State College of Agriculture
and Engineering.
One of the most notable fights j
conducted by Governor Morrison
was that in connection with the
propoaed development of State
ports by public money and the 1
operation of ships by tllfc State, if
necessary. This measure was de- 1
feated at the polls. However, '
prominent party leaders have ex-'
pressed themselves In favor of
some move that will develop the
State's ports and It seems not at
all likely that the subject is a
dead one.
Governor Morrison, following
the Inauguration of his successor,
on January 14, will go ta Char
lotte. there to resume the practice '
of law. He has engaged and fit- i
ted up offices In the Johnston i
Building. Prior to his election ho

Continuing. Senator C.rady Indi
cated that when he haa received
the data ho doalred ho will draw
a bill providing for tho establish
ment of a ftato-ownod and state
operated station of no moan dl
menalona. '
'There are thouaanda of people ?

pensive receiving sets and enjoy
radio Just like people who have
plenty of money.
'Then, aside from the purely
amusement feature that would bo
furnished our people, they could
be kept Informed on subjects very
vital to them. I have In mind
particularly agriculture. For In
stance. weather conditions and
crop reports could be broadcast
dally. This would greatly aid the
farmer. The extension division
of the college could use the ser
vice to promote the things It Is
trying to do. and If the State Hup
lerintendent of public Instruction
so desired, he could hold a state
wide teach era' meeting once a
week.
"Again, there Is the State High
way Commission. If kuch a sta
tion Is established, Mr. Page and
his assistants could keep our peo
ple constantly Informed about
d< tours, the opening of new route*
and the condition of the highways
generally. In rainy weather this
senrlee would be very valuable."
Senator Grady plana to go thor
oughly Into the subject and to
puah his fight for a state owned
broadcasting station. The State
College is the logical place for It.
he thinks. This view was also ex
pressed bf Senator O. D. Moss, ef
Nash county, who declared, "I am
thoroughly In symnnthy with the
movement, and at the proper tine
I shall give U my aeUve support.
