latipg her People,
cHAmEsEos, W, VA, Jan, l2,-The
governors message was sent to the leg
ialature this afternoon, but not read. The
senate ordered II TO be printed in the
journal. II will be read in the house
tomorrow. The governor congratulates
the state on the progress Of the past
two years. "our husbapdmen have
gatnered rich haryests, The products
oiour forests, mines and manufactures
have found a ready market at remuner'
alive prices, and labor has had con-
slant and profitable employment Few
and slight have been the differences be-
tween employer and employed; no
Z strikes or labor troubles Of magnitude
have occurred, On the whole, our laws
looking to the security OF capital seem
10 be ample, atfording safe and profit
{ able investment, whilst tho harder lot
OF the laborer is recognized and his con-
dition improved, SO far as possible, by
4 liberal laws fairly administered,
During the past year the production
of,both coal and coke has been some
what restricted by lack Of adequate
transportation facilities, but compari-
son shows that the state has neyeFthee-
lesA maintained its rank as fourth
among the coal producing states OF the
Union and second in the production OF
coke. II has also attained to third
rank in the production Of petroleum,
while the development Of our timber In.
terests has steadily increased until the
product OF our forests yields moro
wealth annually than do our mines.
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE
In view Of the continuous, rapid and
symmetrical growth Of the materialin-
terests Of the state, and the almost in.
exhaustible natural resources that re-
main practically undeyeloped, it is clear
that we areb but in the infancy OF our
industrial prosperity and progress. 1t
