\ page two Aycock's L North Carolina will *0011 unveil in Raleigh a memorial to the late Charles B. Ay cock. As the time for the unveiling draws near, the iinal speech made by the late Governor in Birmingham. Ala. it> recalled. Mr Aycock dropped dead or. the stage while he was uttering the word "education " The speech follows: Ladies and gentlemen: 1 am extremely gratified Ht the term.> in which his excellency, the Governor of Alabama has seen fit to present me to this magnificent audience; t is very gratifying; it! is very satisfying. 1 knew of course that what he said about me wasn't the truth J Laughter.? I am not afraid to say that the Governor does not tell the truth, bectise I have been a Cover""oi* my.-eif, and 1 know what j ! am talking about. 'Laughter.) Because 1 enjoyed it mere because it! wasn't the truth. You know it does tot make a nretty woman glad to tell; her st : she knows it : fore you tell her, but if you war; > ?* joy irradiate a woman, you gel an ugly woman! .... Ai.,t , f?nd her her, (laughter)?just tell f her >he is pretty and she will be the happiest gladden woman in the Unite*! States (laughter. 1 And this is the way I feel to night wh en the Governor says that | ! have done more for education than than any other Governor in it. After listening to his address it would be vanity on my part to believe it, hut ! am proud of the fact that we have built a school house in North Caro- j lina every day since I was inaugura ted as Governor, including Sundays. ' and I am here tonight to loll you that I am a thorough believe? in education I bel ieve universal education. Did you hear what I said? Youj see 1 am not. a 3cry man. 1 believe ill universal education; I believe in j educating everybody 1 will go further i and say that ! believe in educating j everything, and so do you when you j come to think about it. What do you mean by education ' You mean bringing out .. hing that God Almighty put into it. 1 repeat ( that 1 an* m favor ?f educating ev eryhody .md educating everything. | Why. we have IHuiated the Iri^h potato. Vou know what the Irish potato is np\v; hut what was the Irish j potato when it was ignorant and hah ' ever -.tone t?? school? Why. it was! a little thins and it was lough and i bitter, but sunn* wiser ma>r thai; the j a .era**";' found it, and ht. says: 'I believe this thins has g'?t ijood in | it. and 1 will fetch it out. ' "Fetch" \ n good word in Xorth Carolina j OaroluiabSa 1 do not know how it is i in Alabama 1 taught school myself; Land I k now ''English as she is spoke " Ho said ir .s iiot good and 1 .? ill fetch it out. and he pro-oeded t?> cmicuffie it; to onnp out w re wiwi >' :t had in He planted end fertilized and vultivated it, ami ph.need it ; nd cu'tivated and fertilised, and he j planted and fertilized until the j Irish potato has become so good that ae have it three times a day. every day ir the year, and v.c thank Hod ! when can year comes and gives us j one mori day in which to Irisii potatoes. (Laughter.) But you must j understai that is an educated Irish ' palate and not an ignorant Irish po-I rato. You would not eat that old; fashioned ignorant Irish potato on ( Saturday. So education is good for a vege-1 table, and it i sgood for animals, i and it is good for a mule You | know the most dangerous thing in! this country is an old, unbroken mule ' Josh Billings said that if h?> had to t preach the funeral o a mule he wuiilci i stab (J at the head. < Laughter. > But that is your unbroken mm eg I We cal it 'breaking" them. What is 'breaking:" a mule except trail? ing him, educating: him. bringing: out of him what there is in him .' Why. | whtr you buy a mule fresh from a J drove it takes two white men ..::d onr*i Fifteenth amendment to hit o mm | to a plow. And when you get him j hitched up you plow up more cotton] than you do grass: but iter you have j broker., him. trined him. developed j him. educated him, why that old mule ' goe- light along. He used to, in our; state, when I was a farnvr.aaur.a'tnaa | state , when 1 was a farmer. Why that J old mule would go right along down the ,-ifie of this cotton and wher. ai clod dropped owr on it, -he would ; keep her head so you could lift off. (Laughter.? I hve done it and; I know how to uo it; i say what i I-enevs because i know that if yon ' don't let me make a living practising lav. or in pobtic? I can plow ;t out. Well, it it :sy,good for a mine it is good for a dog. Does anybody hurt foxes in \labama? Ii it were day lime I couid look into your faces and tell, because if there is any lovely man 0:1 the face of the earth it is one of these old time fox hunters. When 1 used to travel uo and 1 : rn North Carolina, making political M IB ast Speech speeches, and n:ght wouii bi? voming on und I didn't know just where 1 v. a - going to sta>. I wo ;ld begin t< look oat on the roadside, and if ! came to a nice place but didn't see a dog then* 1 would go r cht on thru bu! it ! got to a place and found about fifteen hounds dining in ;he declining. rays of the u;\ I drove right in and stayed t;. because I fcr-.rtv thor. aint n rv \Wt h Carolina 'hat will feed fifteen hounds but will be triad to feed me and want ae to stay a week with hint N<nv that puppy, a ho . puppy that hasn't run foxes. He would get up before breakfast and start a rabbit before being told t but when you want this hound to run foxes you take this puppy and eak him train him, educate him. yo take him out on some beautiful moonlight night in the cold crispn < of the early fall or late fail or arly wnteri with the old hound?-and y< uke the boys along with you to... : you are a good hearted man?and v ou won't be >ui more than fifteen t ' '?tes before everyone of those deg> will be going, "yew. vow. vow." &n?: the old f-'x hunter ays. "Shut .. that is no fox, ?t i< nothing r a rabbit." N"'?ii wait until >nu hear Old Music.'' And b> and by swaj off yonder on the hill a mile away you will hear Old Music corae, and your fox hunter says. "Step, hush '" He waits untd she gives her mouth again. He says. "Hush up there."' lb- sends the other dogs in because Ke knows a fox has gone along there a* well as he would if he bad seer he fox put his foot down there, because Music is educated and she sneaks the truth. Lei me say that to you teacher? that that is the very first essentia of true education, the personal verity of it., the truth telling that comes out of it. (Applause.) Good for a hound o- c Then ii is good for a pointer. Maybe vol think, you bird hunter? hat those pointers always did po ' i* rds. Nt lh'-\ didn't eny nth a t*rii>g Why tin- pointers used :o hunt birds, hut they hunted birds t<? sat, f ; a poin ter loves a bird just as ?v,?H a:- yot i-)v- quail on toast Hut always Kiel yonder the mart -aid. *1 will taki ?iu> in.-tir.et <>i th" dog to hunt birdaud I wili make him hum birds foi me instead of for himself." And he took him and trained hirr and taught him, and educated li m nd he ii\- ope^i, gem **ation aftei generation. gene ration after genera lion. And some years ago a man wh< loved Isn iting toid ir?e that he had this experience with his dog. He topi im nit tin field, struck the track of a co\ "\ ; he followed it down ??? a high rail ?< ncc. The dog jumped up >\\ the fence and got to the topmost rail and discovered that the cov.y 4j. j ' * ' : j - . . l . couidn't ke? p his position or the fence. We know that if lie sprang over hi- would flush the covey: tn? 1 hi' let himself down ist?p by step, until he quietly get on the ground and ran up the fe? re fifty yards and jumped the fence and came up on, the other side. and sat, and nev-u stirred at all. v. :th every nerve at ingle. with the .saliva dropw^ down his mouth, because he wanted te spring: upon vhe bird, but he wouldnt <pring until hi> muster said go, beeeaiisc he had in htm the second powcr that eurr.es with all true education and that is the power of self-restraint . i hold on until the hour comes to strike and go. (Applause. > Yes it is good t o dogs. Well if it is it is good for human beings. That, is to bring out of them ai! there is in them You understand ii there is not anything in there, von annot get anything out of them, but the question I put to you is who ap pointed you to say there isn't anything in this little child?
