The above program was carried out
yesterday, except so far as Gov. Nc
Laurin was concerned, he being too
sick with pneumonia to take any part
in the ceremonies. On account of the
extreme illness of Gov. McLaurin,
Lieut.. Gov Harrison was called upon
to act as Governor from Monday up
to the time Gov. Longino was inducted
into Office yesterday.
Gov. Longino's inaugural address
has made fine impression.
The Legislature met in joint session
yesterday and elected Gov. McLaurin
to the u S. Senate for the long term
and Senator Sullivan for the short
term.
