Bickett Lives
Again
On the occasion of the presen
tation of the portrait of the late
Gov. Walter Bickett in the Sen
ate chamber yesterday ? Armistice
Day ? that very human and elo
quent Chief Executive seemed to
live again as friends and admirers
from many parts of the State look
ed upon the portrait painted by
Mrs. Mary Graves Rees, which
will adorn the walls of the Gover
nor's Mansion. It was an occas
ion of limning a truly original,
constructive and patriotic Chief
Executive.
The address by A. J. Maxwell,
chairman of the commission, a
key man in the Bickett adminis
tration, was a revealing appraise
ment of a career that' brought ad
vancement and glory to the Com
monwealth. The presentation
speech by Judge Varser was a
gen>. The acceptance by Gover
nor Broughton reached the high
water mark of portrayal. The
tribute by the presiding officer,
Santford Martin, who wag private
secretary to the Governor, was a
beautiful heart estimate of one
beloved. Concluding his memorial
address, Mr. -Maxwell quoted the
eloquent farewell of Governor
Bickett in his message to the Gen
eral Assembly before retiring
from the office of Governor,
which is as follows:
I shall carry with me from the
office many sweet and * glorious
memories, but the one memory
that will forever outshine them
all is of the 80,000 song of Caro
lina who, at their country's call,
marched forth to fight and die
for God and for humanity. Lest
we forget, I write it down in this
last chapter and certify to all the
generations that the one stupen
dous, immortal thing connected
with this administration is the
part North Carolina played in the
.World War. Everything done in
the field of taxation, of education,
of agriculture, of mercy to the
fallen, of the physical and social
regeneration of our people ? all
of it is but "a snowflake on the
river" In the gigantic and glori
flel presence of the 80,000 men
who plunged into the blood-red
tide of. Of these 80,000 men,
2,338 "went westf" ? far beyond
the sunset's radiant glow. I shall
always be grateful to remember
that I was sometime their captain
and always their comrade in the
