That man constitutes 80 per cent. of
our population. Let him hold up his
head and look the world in the face on
terms of equality, with equal culture
and greater honor. When he does this
and the day of his doing it is coming
with this building, then shall we have
the greatest state in the union.
IO"Strong, veriIe, learned, shrewd,
knowing more, than others, doing
more, being more, we shall Jake the
earth and possess ourselve of all the
good things of the world and then even
as now we shall not be satisfied until we
have lifted all men to our plane. God
grant that we may attain these things. .
A large concourse of people attended
and the ceremonies were performed by
officers of the Masonic Grand Lodge of
the state.
Preparations had been made for in
augural ceremonies attending the eleva
tion of Governor elect Glenn to the
governors chair from the usual place
fronting the eastern wing of the capitol
but rain prevented this and the crowd
repaired to the Academy of music. An
adequate description of this auspicious
gathering would occupy many columns
of space and shall not undertake it at
this time. The new governors inau-
gural address was a master piece and
delivered in Mr.. Glenn's characteristic
style. He was presented by Governor
Aycock in few we'll chosen remarks
at the conclusion of which Chief Justice
Walter Clark administered the oath
of Office. The band played Dixie and
the people cheered Justify. Aycock re-
ceived an Innovation in performing his
last duty as governor, that of present
ing HIS successor and Mr.. Glenn was
ACCORDED genuine welcome in enter
ing upon his duties. The other state
officers came forward when the Gov
ernor had concluded his address and
took the oath administered by Chief
Justice Clark. The inaugural ball
was given in the Olivid Raney Library
Immediately following the public re-
ception Wednesday evening, the at
tendance being large and the event one
of great social enjoyment. The new
governor enters upon the duties and
responsibilities of his Office under ex-
ceedingly favorable auspices. The State
was never in more prosperous condi-
tion and the present administration
will doubtless witness even greater
things than the last along the line of
industrial development. Mr.. Glenn's
inaugural address rings clear upon all
momentous question affecting the well
fare of the state and her people.

There has been good deal of criti-
cism of Governor Glenn for appointing
his brother as private secretary, but
inasmuch as the place is a confidential
one friends OF the governor argue that
objections are unwarranted. Gen.
Glenn is man of high character and
well qualified for the arduous duties the
office will exact. He has served many
times as a member of the General AS.
sembly and has a wide acquaintance in
the state.
There is no matters of general import
to the western people to give out at this
time. The legislature has now gotten
down to business and there may be some
things of interest to record in my next
communication. The weather is more
agreeable this week and am not aware
of any sickness among the visiting
statesmen number of whom went
home to spend Sunday and, have not re-
turned. III. l.. ..
