Governor Carr InauG11rnted.
Raleigh, n. c., January 1S.-Goyernor Elias
Carr and other recently elected state officers
were sworn in today by CHIEF Justice Shep-
herd Notwithstanding The inclcmency of the
weather q great crowd attended the cereno-
MES Many distinguished men and many la
dies were present. The inaugural address was
conservative in tone. The governor advocates
the repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state
bank notes, adverts to the agricultural char
actcr of the population of the state and urges
legislation friendly to the farming interest
and economy in the administration OF state
affairs. The address gives great satisfaction.
