Governor Aycock is gathering
the material for his Inst message
to the General Assembly ol
North Carolina, and will soon
begin the work of writing that
important State paper, ft will
probably be the best that has
been presented to our law
makers in many years.
The Governor says that lie
will herein recommend the cre
ation of a new office, that of
State historian, who shall collect
historical matter anywhere in
the State and install it here,
look over, prepare and publish
material hearing on State history
to be found in various depart
ments here, and also to rear
range all original records so they
will be in permanent form and
easy of access.
Continuing His Excellency
said that the present year has
been tbe beat, altogether, in the
history of the State.
As to the enlargement of the
capitol building, be said:
"1 will transmit to the Legis
lature the report of the commit
tee ou that matter, but will uot
recommend any alterations or
additions to the present building.
I ant opposed to changing the
capitol in ibis way. We can
erect additional buildings on
property the Stale owns. Wc
must let the capitol stand as it
is."
