Governor Addresses Unity Plan in Election Rhetoric
The governor urged a unity plan across parties to better connect citizens with officials and curb costly campaigns. He warned that rising nomination expenses threaten access to higher office. He advocated maintaining Prohibition, expanding public schools, agricultural education, and praised good roads and rural mail service as vital to state growth. The Charlotte Observer notes the governor’s cautious yet steady stance on corporations, railroads, and fair passenger fares.

North Carolina Legislature Tracks Local Bills and Prohibition

A deadly coal mine explosion at Lick Branch, Virginia, kills 65, with Ashe county miners among the dead. The North Wilkesboro Hustler reports the arrival of bodies and identifies young and old members in the state House.
