A Lively Fistcuff.
Aseville. Special. Something of a
sensation was created on Patten
avenue a prominent andcrowded
thoroughfare the city last week when
J. M. MeCaniess, a local photogrph
er, assaulted and severely punished
Prof. Flaxington llarker, organist
and choirmaster at Ceorge W. Van
derbilt's All Souls church. Biltmorl.
Harker did not attempt to defend
himself. MeCaniess struck his man
several times in the face, breaking
his glasses and bruising the organist
up considerably. MeCaniess then
went about'liis business. The provo
cation for the assault is alleged to
have occurred last Sunday morning
after service at All Souls. MeCan
iess is a member of. the choir, and
after services, Harker, while in a dis
agreeable frame of mind, read the
choir a lecture. In the course of his
remarks he accused some of them of
not: kneeling during prayers and with
gazing around the church. MeCan"
less look lTarker's remarks as a sort
of reflection on his religion and
promptly told llarker that he, Me
Caniess. Lad always knelt during
. prayer and that he had never gazed
a sound during services. It is alleged
Harkei disputed MeCaniess
. word, leastwise MeCaniess so eon-
strued Harker s reply, and thereupon
MeCaniess in a rage left the room. It
had been rumored since that, when
MeCaniess met JIarker he would as
sault him. It is said lhat the two
men -met for I be first time since Sun
day, ;w.hen MeCaniess proceeded to
punish his man. The relations be-
I tween the choir and the choirmaster
at Vanderbilt 's church have not becu
of the best for some time and there
have been rumors of a' strike unless
llarker treated the choir with more

In a Lengthy Document the State's
. Executivo Enumerates the Prosper
ity of the State and Gives Reasons
Why the People Should Be Thank
ful.
Raleigh, Special Governor Glenn':
Thanksgiving proclamation is a long
one. In part it says:
""To me this is a most beautiful
and helpful custom, for if a State or
an individual will only compare their
many blessings with their few ill
each will find that tht good bestowed
is far in excess of the evil and, there
fore, a matter for profouudest re
joiciug. While since the last procla
mation some things have occurred in
the State that are to be regretted
and some feelings engendered that
may have left a sting, still, when these
disturbances and excitements are for
gotten, or only remembered as hav
ing taught lessons of patriotism and
wisdom, the peace, plenty and bless
ing of the past year will be remem
bered as cause for expressions of our
deepest gratitude to the author of all
good.
"No pestileuce or great epidemic of
sickness has visited our people, but
unusual health and freedom from
disease have been enjoyed through
out the entire State. The demand for
laborer in every department of busi
ness has been so great that good
wages for reasonable hours have been
given all who toil; and there has been
no . excuse for any able-bodied per
sons eating the bread of idleness or
being dependent on charity. Peace
and good will have existed between
capital and labor, and employers and
employes have enjoyed closer rela
tions than ever before. More miles
of railroad have been built; more
factoxies of every description erected ;
more looms, spindles, planes, saws and
furnaces put in operation, until the
year 1907 has become the greatest
in our history in material devolpment
and in progressive upbuilding.
"Our farm products have com
manded higher prices than heretofore,
which, while entailing more expense
on the consumer, has adde'1 greater
gain to the producer, thus maintain
ing the parity of wealth. Money has
been obtainable on easy terms and
not even the stringency of Wall
street has affected to any great extent
our financial condition. Investments
have declared good dividends and fine
returns have been made on every
class of work, both in the agricul
tural and industrial field. Never be
fore in the history of the Slate has
there been such interest taken in pub
lic education, while a temperance
wave has swept over the entire com
monwealth, showing that, while our
people have millions for investments,
improvements and education, they arc
tired of seeing money squandered for
strong drinlv that only brings ruin
and shame for they have ascertained
that the true worth of a nation or
State is not always to be guaged by
the amount of its finances, the
strength of its army or the value of
its products, but by the character of
its men and women. Isaiah said: 'I
will make a man more precious than
fine gold.' In the hour of our great
prosperity we must not forget we are
mortal beings with souls, as well as
progressive men, for soundness of
heart and purity of life are the
State's greatest bulwark of safety.
Law and order have been maintained
and no awful mobs assembled, but
the people have been quiet and given
up to deeds of industry and thrift.
"While trying to do full' justice to
all and protecting every class, high
and low, during the year, the Slate
has maintained that it is Supreme
and that all, both great and small,
must obey its law.
"The mercies thus shown us by a
bountiful Creator have been so prodi
gious and the percentage of increase
agriculturally, industrially, education
ally and morally so wonderful that
it has attracted not only the notice
of our nation, but of the entire world,
and made it our duty to magnify
the name of Him who has thus'jiTen
us the increase."

President Invites Governors
to Meet With Him
MUST CONSERVE RCSOURCES
The Subject For Consideration is tie
Question of Means to Conserve th
Country's Natural Resources We
Are Prosperous Now, the Chief
Executive Declares, But it is Time
to Halt and Take a Reckoning.
Washington, Special. President
Roosevelt has invited the Governors
of the States and Territories to meet
him at the White House. May lUth,
14th and 1.3th next, to discuss the
question of means to conserve the
natural resources of the country.
Invitations are to be extended to the
members of both houses of Con
gress and to the inland waterways
commission. The importance and
manner in which the subject is to he
considered are indicated in the
Presidents letter to the Governors,
which was made public, at. the White
House. The letter follows:
"The natural resources of the
territory of the United Slates were,
at the time of settlement, richer,
more varied and more available than
those of auv other equal area on the
surface of the earth. The develop
nicnt of these resources has given
us lor more than a cenlurv a rate
of increase in population and wealth
undreamed of by the men who
founded our government and without
parallel in history. It is obvious
that the prosperity which we now
enjoy rests directly upon these re
sources, it it equally obvious mat
the vigor and success whieh we de
sire and foresee for this nation in the
future must have this as its ultimate
material basis.
"In view of these evident facts, it
seems to me time ior the country
to take account of its natural re
sources, and to inquire how long
they are likely to last. We are
prosperous now; we should not lor
get that it will be just as im
portant to our descendants to be
prosperous in their time as it is to
us to be pioperous in our time.
"Recently I expressed the oppimon
that there is no other question now
before the nation of equal srravity
with the question of the conservation
of oif natural resources; and I added
that it is theplain duty of those of us
who, for the moment, are responsible
to make inventory of the natural re
sources which have been handed down
to us; to forecast as well as we may
the needs of the future, and so to i
handle the great sources of eur pros
perity as not to destroy in advance
all hope cf the prosperity of our des
cendants. .
"It is evident that the abundant
natural resources in which the wel
fare of this natioii' rests are be
coming depleted, and in not a few
cases are already exhausted. This
is true of all portions of the United
States; it is especially true of the
east. The gravity of the situation
must, I believe, appeal with special
force to the Governors of the States
because of their close relations to
the people and their responsibility
for the welfare of their communities.
I have therefore decided, in nc"
eordanee with the suggestion of the
inland waterways commission, to ask
the Governors of the States and
Territories to meet at the White
House on May 13th, 14th and 15th
to confer with the President r,nd
with each other upon the conserva
tion of natural resources. .
. "It giyes me great pleasure to in
vite you to take part in this con
ference. I should be glad to have
you select three citizens
company you and to attend
ference as your assistants
to
the
ac-con-ad-
visers. I shall also invite the Sena
tors and Representatives of the
Sixtieth Congress to be present at
the sessions so far as their dMies
will permit.
"The matters to be considered at
this conference are not confined to
any region or group of States, but
are of vital concern to the nation
as a whole and to all the people.
These subjects include the use and
conservation of the mineral re
sources, the resources of the land
and the. resources of the waters in
every part of our territory.
"In order to open discussion I
shall invite a few recognized au
thorieties to present brief descrip
tions of actual facts and conditions,
without argument, leaving the confer
ence to deal- with each topic as it
may elect.' The members of the in
land waterways commission will be
present in order to share with me the
benefit of information and sugges
tion, and if desired, to. set forth
their provisional plans and con
clusions. "Facts, which I cannot gainsay,
force me to believe that tho con
servation of our natural resources is
the most weighty question now be
fore the people of the United States.
If this is so, the proposed conference,
which is the first of its kind, will be
among the most important gather
ings in our history in its effect upon
the welfare of all our people.
"I earnestly hope, my dear. Gov
ernor, that you will find it possible
to be present.
"Sincerely vours,
"T1IEOD0I1E ROOSKVELT."
Mortally Wounded by His Own Hand

had said nothing further than the re
mark, repeated later by Dr. George

dent." It is believed that the estate at
present will net about $2,.r00,000. Un
der the provisions of a previous will

000,000 to $!).()0().00ft.
In Friday's will the banker direct
ed that his estate should be incor
