regarding the production of the Clans
man here last night. The applause
was tremendous and the interest keen
throughout. A number of persons dis
approve of the play, some saying that
it ought never be presented, to the
south certainly; while others think it
magnificent and an object lesson.
One very prominent man said he want
ed the play TO be given all yer Eng
land. Governor Glenn was interview
ed this morning regarding the play
and said that when it began he had
conflicting opinions as to whether it
was best or not to produce such a play,
but that as it continued to develop and
finally reached its climax he was thor
Oughly satisfied that it ought to be
presented in every city in the United
States, in order that the rising genera
ton should know the truth SIS to south
ern life i'll reconstruction days, to the
end that justice might be done the
south. He expressed the hope that all
the people in the south would give it

The insurance commissioner has
granted license to the Raleigh Build
ing and Loan Association to begin
business. T. b. WOmack is the prtsi-
dent. Business begins Saturday.
Insurance Commissioner Young was
asked whether North Carolina would
revoke the license of the New York,
or other companies, pending the inves-
tiSatiOL. now going on in New York,
Nevada and Colorado having revoked
the license of that company. Commits
stone Young said he was. not informed
as to the basis of action by those states
and, while disappearing of much in
the management Of the company as
shown, by the investigation, did not
feel that he would be justified in revOk
ing its license, as it is not necessary
for a proper correction of the trouble.
Some of the papers have been I'M
duly criticising Governor Glenn about
giving 50 In:;ch consider alton to peti
ton for pardon, communication, etc. The
~act is hat it is the policy of the gov
ernor to give all applicants a fair hear
ing. that is to hear anything that it is
right to present to him, and then act
as best he can in all cases. Another
rule of his is that he will be governed
by the testimony. If he is to be critl-
'cised for this purse why Of course
he will have to bear it. The governor
l:DOws very well that the constitution
gives the right of petition. Anyone
who will take the 1trouble to look over
his list of pardons will see that he is
gphOlding the court and not undOing
what they have done. OF course he
cannot interfere with the constitution
al right Of petition.
The governor was reading an edito-
rial i'll a newspaper which stated that
it expected the prohibition issue to be
put before the people in the ext cam
paign, inquiry was made of the gov
-ernOr about this matter and he said
the only thing was that the people
must rule n that if the people are be-
hind the prohibition movement it will
succeed, but if they are not then it will
not succeed either in locality or in the
state. In his opinion the legislature
ought at its next session to submit the
question to the people and let b lat
ter fight it out. The platform of the
governor rs he himself has declared it,
is for temperance and sobriety and a
higher order Of morality in the state,
with renewed industrial improvement
and development, education of the
masses and the adoption of such Il
platform as will promote all these
great needs and interests. To this
work he proposes to devote his time
and labor.
