NORTH CAROLINA AND Th address which follow was deliver ed at jj2oa College last Tudy on Uie occasion of the commencement exerclsei al lbt institution by United State Sen . uor JT. M. Simmon. . I do not like to make excuses, but I feel it is dae you and myself I should uy that I have been bo circumstanced in recant week, so pressed and engrossed with duties I could not neglect, that I have not been able to bring with ma sack, a speech as this occasion deserves and demands. 5 But while I have not brought with km any oratorical bouquets, no dls- course worthy of the naute of a literary address such as the importance of this institution and occasion merits, yet I have some things I wish to say to you. and It may be Just as well to nay them plainly and without the embellishment!! of rtietorlc. 1 wsnt to talk to you about North Carolina and It people atut ourselves; what we have done; what we are doing; iist remains for ua to do. and what we r.ay hope for as the full fruition of our labor in the vineyard God has allote'l to u. North Carolina is by no means an em pire. It is only s small strip of land ly ing between South Carolina and Virginia; extending from the tea across the moun tains to the .JVnnensee line. But there Is no lovelier spot on Ood green earth, and there Is not a people living under the canopy of Hla Heaven made of belter stuff than the old North Carolina stock. LONG. DREARY SM'MBER. Tet with a finer land than that given to the children of Israel and with a peo ple possessed of the nlg-heat attribute V of manhood and womanhood, for more than two hundred year we almost stood still, compared with the rapid pace of some other, or we moved so slowly that we seemed to tnd still moved o iew ly that we won the title of the ' Rip Van Winkle of the Union " It wa a long, dreary alumber. hut, a in the cane of Rip Van Winkle, there waa at length an awanrriing. and In a few decade we have accomplished. In certain directions at least, an much as i accomplished during all the yearst preceding this awakening During ttic-p brief years we have owrtuken the pro cession, and. passing hj . have focused upon u the eyes of all men. Why did we move o slowly men. and why are we moving so fat now? That is what I want to talk to you about. You have all read Bunyan's "Pilgrims Prrig reaa." and you remember how hlowly poer Chrisiian struggled alona under the heavy burden on his hack, and how light ly and swiftly he moved when It had lalle nfrom him'.' The people of North Carolina have never been bvirdened with sin or faithlessness North Carolina has not suffered at any time from a lack of patriotism or de votion on the part of her children Not even the palonate devotion of th Irishman to the third and fourth genera tion, for the fatherland, surpasses that of North Carolinians, whether they have remained at home, or sought their future In other Slates, for the home of their fathers. "Once Tar Heel, always a Tar Heel." Is a figurative symoolliatton of a living verity. During these years of slumber we were not stagnant because our people did not possess the patriotism, the en ergy, th Intelligence and mnhood. ne cessary to develop our resources The truth Is, we did not appreciate them and seek to develop them, because we did not ee them. With eye to see. we did not see that the light soil of our coastal plains, under thw Influence of a beneficent climate and friendly skies, could grow crop more valuable than I hose grown In the rich alluvial soil of the Mississippi valWy. that these red clay hills oould be made an productive as the lands of the Vharoahs; that yonder mountain wero atlve with ores and minerals and pre cious metals of fabulous wealth, and that there was running to waste in our streams more power than is generated In ten thousand furnaces. A MIGRATORY PROPI.E. Kallkm to see about them these great things of human desire, although they stared them In the face on every side they sought them elsewhere, and we le cane the most migratory people In the world. For more than a hundred years, year by year, we are drained of our very life-blood. We sent the rower of rur manhood and youth to settle and build up and develop the resources of other States and other communities In many State in the t'nlon, while our own remained only scratched, or untouched and dormant. Thoe who remained at home struggled with the problems which environed and confronted them as Samp son stnigled in hi-1 iiiict ess, but thl constant decimation left them as helpless a the cunning and treachery of Delilah left Sampson. What opened our eyes to the truth, and what revealed to u the Immense potentialities of sky, of donate, of soil, of mineral, of ore. of timber and water, which surrounded and encompassed us and called us to take possession and utilise and enjoy whether it was the re sult of the war and the abolition of slav ery, or science, or that hard necessity which la the potent mother of effort and endeavor as well as Invention It is boot ies at thl time to inquire. Suffice It to sty that the fact was at length revealed to us. and from that hour and day this tide of emigration which for more than a hundred long years had drained our life-blood was checked and that great handicap to our growth overcome and re moved? It Is no longer said that North Carolina Is a good Stat to leave, but rather that it Is a good State to come to. and rive In, and, if need be. die for. . Again, my friends, the war decimated our already wasted population and left us to flounder for another decade or morel In the slough of poverty That waa bade enough but it waa scarcely. If at all. less baneful in Its repressive effect upon our social and material advancement than the political enslavement of our white population and the elevation ts citizenship and to suffrage of a vast horde without the elightest conception of the, duties and responsibilities of their 'new functions, and who after a hundred year of careful training and teaching - will have no-adequate conception of those ' duties and responsibilities. The effect of putting the ballot In the hands of these Incompetent negroes was potent In its baneful Influence upon every interest in the State. It threw the two classes of our population, the one ennobled by An ' glo-Baxon civilliation. and the other en tirely devoid of enlightment, into violent antagonism. The negro had toeeen train ed for many generation In obedience and res pete for authority, and under prudent, careful, guidance, such as the Southern white would have given him. mrniM have soon developed Into useful Htimina In their freedom: but under the i nanlnnlattoa ' of leader. Interested In i Tjulng them a political factor, they be came a menace to the State. r WAR'S . CONSEQUENCES. ' It I needless for me to recount the fM.,l ftwaawiMnnM that 4nUprt IllltilJ J11C,U wviw,hw- -. It to enough for our present purpose to ay that again for long, dreary we floundered. In the. slough of edal , and I political, of ' commercial and wauairuu chaos, in th deadly paralyai jof a Jong, dreary night In which 6 man could, work, when h hope and ambition of men. werer centred upon ejf, preserva tion, and their energies and effort dl- reeled and concentrated on keeping the welf or Hunger anJ-want from the door. - When this evil had reached the limit of endurance. In a storm of patriotism we applied- the remedy too long delayed, and unrestricted micro suffrage came to an end in North Carolina, it was a bold resolve; In some respect hazardous. But it was necessary If w were to pie serve the civilization and supremacy of eur race and - work out our appointed destiny among the enlightened and pro gressive people of the world. The reversal of the action of 1SBS, for that 1 what It waa, removed the greatest handicap which had ever been laid upon our advancement, and in its potential ef fect upon our social, moral, educational and material growth and development It ranks as our greatest Nineteenth Cen tury achievement. There waa still another handicap of great potency In repressing our advance, our people have always been a religious people. Those flne enUment that are Imbibed from Christian religion have never found such a general expression In the life of any other people as here in North Carolina, the simple virtues; the virtues of simple life, the yea and nay of sincerity, the large hUTnan sympathies; the reverence for sacred things, the faith of the early declple of the Master. But there was a deep-rooted evil among us. It was the liquor habit and traffic. We realised it. We realized that In this haNt and traffic was a handicap to our prog ress that must be removed, a burden that must be thtonn off If we should go forward Tlank God, and I say It reverently. In that great crisis In Nerth Carolina there weie found men who as leaders and fol lowers were animated by a spirit as de voted and bold as that which animated Patrick Henry In another and a different crisis Thnk wed, there was then found In North Carolina public men of power and Influence In both political parties who clearly saw that In the processes of our evolution the time had come for a declaration of war war of the Church and the school against the bar and dis tillery, and who. sing or swim live or die, survive or perish, haiarded their pol itical lives ana lortune in the cause of morality and humanity. Never wavering, never flinching with a spirit to serve equal to any that has ever animated the mind and soul of man, they pressed the fighting until every Inch of North Caro lina soil had been wrested from the arch enemy of society and progress and re ligion IAST HANDICAP OONli With the downfall of the bar and dis tillery Hie last handicap to our progres as a Stale waa removed, and the way paved and made smooth for that educa tional, moral, and Industrial progress which has signalized the years "that have elapsed since The people of North Carolina love the name of Charles B. Aycock. and they would be base lngrates if they did not. He will go down In history as our great est educational Governor. He was a great eduratlonal Governor because he loves children When from every stump In North Carolina, from every school, and academy and college, he appealed In their name, like one crying in the wilderness. Educate, them, educate them." he was speaking from th fullness of hi heart. Ihecause when Ood made Charlee Aycock He put In his heart a love for these lit tle ones. Walking with him nee day on the streets of one of our eastern cities, a lit tle girl whom we did not know, poorly clad, approached us. and looking up Into his face, asked if he would not tell her and then asked something. T have for gotten now what It was some simple matter of Information connected with her errand. His fare beamed with a kindly fcmile as bending over the little tot with th solicitude of a father he said with a simple tenderness which I shall never for get, ''Yes. Uttle Miss. 1 will do anything for you." For some time afterwards we walked in silence, the little Incident was not mentioned. It was loo sacred for speech, hut 1 knew then as I had not known before, that it waa a power mtghller than hla brilliant Intellect (hat had fired the people of North Carolina with a determination to be Tree from the slavish bonds of Ignorance. Rut what could the eloquence, even of Aycock. pleading for this greatest of causes, have accomplished In such con ditions as we had In North Carolina from 1M to 1MM?. There Is another man In North Caro lina which history will not fall to record and perpetuate. It Is the name of Rob ert H. Glenn He came Into power when the sun of the new educational, moral, and industrial life upon which we had en tered was full far advanced In the Heav ens The cause of temperance had al ready triumphed In mHny hard-fought contests and the way to the total ex tinction of the liquor traffic had been paved The new Industrial life which had already diffused Itnelf through the State, quickening the energies and efforts and Imparting hope and ambition wa every where bringing forth It fruit of thrift and enterprise and progress. But he could not sit still, he was Impatient to see the great work go forward, and another voice speaking with a power and authority al most akin to Inspiration waa heard cry ing. "Forward, onward, upward." and that we might move forward and upward the faster he dema'ided with the ijl of a crusader that liquor, the arch enemy of progress, should be driven from every stronghold to which It had retreated. Could we have passed the Vt atts Bill, could we have passed the vvard Bill, could even the fervor and seal of Glenn .have put an end to thl baneful traffic, and freed the social, education, and In dustrial life of the Stat from Its re pressive influences, in the political condi tions which existed In North Carolina between 18ffl and 1SSS? FRUITS OF THE VTCTORIK?. My friends, feebly and crudely I have tried to recount to you the difficulties and trials, the" obstacle and handicaps, ao-alnst which we have struggled and over which we have eventually triumph ed. If you ask me what have been the fruit of these victories; if you ask me what has the harvest already been, and I what will the harvest be when there shall he complete fruition, my answer is open your eyes and look about you from the Virginia to the South Carolina line, from Murphy to Manteo. and tell me If you please, if a magic wand ever wrought more marvelou metamorphosis than the uplifting transformation that hs signal ized these last ten years. In the matter of our educations:! ad vancement each year has been ene of surprises. We are surprised at the stu pendous progress made In the develop ment of th principle of local taxation. W are surprised, at the marvelous In-, crease in the rural school libraries. We are surprised at the steadfast growth of h martleulates in the University and college of the State. When w contemplate this growth of educational aplrlt In th State we cannot but be impressed with the feeling that North Carolina has at length burst the bond that once bound her and Is press ing on Irresistible to a nobler destiny. A yea by year this educational prog- res attains a greater momentum, and as the spirit of enlightenment flames with a brighter effulgence because of the 1b ereaafe In the number of bright Voting men and women who annually go forth from otir collegiate halls, we witness the beaeflciecit influences diffused throughout ITS PEOPLE the State and not the exeeierated move ment to a signer and no Ufa among our people. In our rural districts. wa sea emblem of hope where formerly there were sign of decay. TM well-ept farms, the Improved school house, the cxmfortable church, buildings, the better roads these tell the tai; while In our town and cities the new architecture, the modern convenience, th imposing structures, speak to us of a progress in cukure that strongly appeals to our pride. It seem but yesterday when Charlotte, Wilmington, Greensboro, Winston, Aahe ville. Durham, Concord and High Point, were only village; now they are to be ranked as important cities. It seem but yesterday our farming lands la North Carolina had but little value; now by the Introduction of jiew methods and systems of culture ana rotation of crop their productivity ha been doubled and their value In some section quadrupled. But yesterday we sent weekly to the neigh boring postoffice for our weekly aews- papei ; now in this era of good road, i he rural letter carrier bring us our papers at least two or three times a week, if not dally. Only yesterday we knew nothing of telephone; now this wonderful handmaiden of business and social convenience permeates the State and bring us all into close communica tion. Only yesterday the era of manufac turing was ushered In by the small to bacco factories of Durham and Winston, by a few cotton mills at Charlotte and in Alamance; now who can withhold hi admiration at the great deveratAcaUon of Industries that places th Old Norih Slat far In the van of any of her slater State. But. my friends, we must not forget the fact that the chief factor In our Indus trial progress Is the raw material of soil, forest and mineral, which nature has so bountifully bestowed upon us. It 1 these resource that give North Caro lina and the South their greatest advant age over other section of our country. nd If we would keep the lead wa have gained and Increase It we must resist every effort of our competitors in other sections to neutralize this advantage by the enactment of unequal, sectional and discriminatory economic laws. But It la unnecessary for me to fur ther recount what we have accomplished In these recent years, the story la a familiar one, it not only (111 us with pride and gratification, but strikingly Illustrates the capabilities of our people and the opportunities which North Caro lina affords to capacity, enterprise and ambition. ' But my friends. It Is not what we have accomplished In the lines I have been dis cussing that Interests me most and con cerns you most. The thing that Inter ests me most and concerns you most Is wha we have yet to do along theae self same line and still higher line; how we are preparing ourselves to do It, and with what measure of succeas we are go ing to do It. We have done much and we are doing much for the education of the childhood and youth of the State; we have done and we are doing much for social and moral development and purification; we have done and we are doing much to wards the development and utilisation of our natural resources and building up a great State; but we have Just broken ground along theae lines. If we are to attain the highest goal to which In our conditions we rae entitled to aspire and to which It Is our duty to aspire, we must recognize the fact that we hav Just entered the freshman year of pre paration and equipment. WORK BEFORE VS. The work before us la one of develop ing the capacity of our people and utiliz ing the natural resources of the State. When the full capacity of mind, soul and hand of our people has been reached and our natural resources have been utilized to their fullest, what we have already accomplished and what we are now ac complishing will appear trifling and In significant In comparison with the gran deur and splendor of that day and time. TTils grand consummation cannot be at talned without a spirit of high endeavor In small as well a great thing, with out a lofty spirit on the part of the In dividual citizen to perform the simple duties of every-day life unfalteringly and to serve the State to the full measure of hi opportunity and ability In whatever line or calling it may be allotted him to work. - My friends, In view of the stupendous work before u, of the heavy weight of responsibility upon us, I want to appeal for a larger individualism in thought and action In North Carolina; for a more In tense consecration to duty; for a higher spirit to serve and sacrifice for the com mon weal. I think It was Carlyle who 'said: "It matters little what a man allot to him self to do In thl world. Just so he does It well and thoroughly." 1 do not at tempt to quote his yords. but hi thought Carlyle was right; It does not make much difference what we may select for our life' work, so we select an honest call ing and follow It honestly, and do our work thoroughly to the best of our capability. If we do that the State and society will be benefitted as much as we, for no man can labor earnestly and hon estly, to the full measure of hla ability to achieve the highest success In his call ing without In the end becoming a goot citizen and In hi way a public benefac- tor. GOLDEN ADVICE My young friends. If you decide to be come a farmer In your neighborhood. If you decide to become a doctor, resolve to be the best doctor In your community. If you decide to enter politics resolve upon becoming not only an honest but a good politician. As a rule, if a farmer determines upon becoming the best farm er in his neighborhood and set himself to work honestly to that end he will be sure to become Interested in everything In his neighborhood as well as his farm. If a doctor determine to become the best doctor In hi community and set him self honestly to work, he will be sure in the end to become a friend and helpmate of the people to whom he ministers, and that will make htm a good citizen a well as a good' doctor. If a politician deter mine to become a' statesman, he will concentrate hie energies and talents to the service of the State, discard dema gog ry, the curse of the South and Its shame, and worship at th shrine of righteous duty instead of that of popular favor and sometimes prejudice. In a word, honest endeavor In any calling leads to high purpose and ends In making a good rrtu and a useful citizen. IMPORTANCE Or EDUCATION. But enough of an this. All these things about which I have been speaking to you are Important, but the thing of chlefeet Importance to un In North Caro lina at thl time, if pot at all times, 1 the work of the school and the college; In the, education of the youth of the State. That ltee aLthe bottom and Is tke foundation atone of all the rest. If that Is attended to all the balance will come In due seasoo. If that Is not attended to there will be little balance worth men tioning. Pardon me' for a personal allusion. I use It because It Illustrate the thought I have in mind and wish to impress upon theae young men: When the war closed and I returned ,Hh my parents to the old i homestead, from which ' we had refugee durtn! that struggle and jrhlch wa located bet ween the line at th twe ? armies, we found nothing kit the aws i and th land. - All the beJaaoe waa gen. One night , my father disappeared from , the house and 'iwhea . he returned he braught a tin box which I aaw had been burled. MTien he had opened H, In It ' contained coin gold and . silver. a"Dr soma momenta b looked upon it la U- i nee.' then taming to soy mother, he aid: "This Is air we have left, but not a ! cent of it must be touched Car ear wants; ' It must go to educate the boy," mean ing my brother and myself. It was- not much but with economy It waa enough. When a few year ago he passed away, he left me nothing but the farm and a mortgage, fcut that act of self-denial gave ' ma that which la more to be desired than i all the gold In the universe; which in I prosperity and adversity; which in health 1 and sickness, has been to me more val uable than would have been the million which the great oil magnate, . who died but a few day ago, I aald to have dis tributed Just before hi death among his four children. I doubt not that many 'father and mothers in North Carolina, are to-day making Jut th same sort of sacrifice. I ' doubt not that om of the parent of yoa pays to whom I apeak are making Juat such sacrifices that you may be here. I pray Ood that your life and work here and hereafter may not make that sacrifice in vain. If you hall Justify their proud hope aad expectation you win not only gladden their live but you will enrich and ennoble and glorify your own. The dervish in the Arabian tale did not hesitate to abandon to his comrade the camel with their load of Jewel and gold while he retained the casket of that mysterious Juice, which enabled him to behold at one glance all the hidden rlche of the universe. "Surely," as Mac- Caulay say, "It I no exaggeration to say, that no externa advantage Is to be compared with that purification of th Intellectual eye. which gives u to con template the Infinite wealth of the men tal world; all the hoarded treasure of Its primeval dynasties, all the shapeleaa ore of it yet unexplored raise." THE MATERIAL, THINGS. I do not underestimate, a you must have discovered from what I have said, the Importance, of looking after the ma terial thing of this world. I recognize the fact that industry and thrift, the ac cumulation of .wealth, and all that these thing Imply. 1 are necessary to supply the want ana the comforts, the necessi ties and the conveniences of men, and that tbey are lndlipensable to national growth, prosperity and power. But what I want to Impress upon you I the fact that theae things do not constitute the "ultimate Thule" of our live; that they are but a mean to an end. That the chief object of life I spiritual and In tellectual uplift and ennoblement. There Is nothing Immortal in this world but mind and It achievement. Thl I true of individual and of State. Mutation and decay, death and dissolution 1 in exorable law. The VanderWlM. th Gould, th Roth child: and th Rockefellers loom for a while large and mighty in the public eye. For a few year they do great things and wield Immense power and then pass away and are forgotten. I do net mean to disparage them or their work, but It pertained to the thing that are material and perishable. Not so 'with those whose work and aahlevements wr intellectual and spir itual; they do not die; they are not for gotten; they live forever; their fame and power grow with the revolving years. Influencing more and more human thought, expression and action, inspiring hope and quickening the energies and ambition of men, TRCH-GREA TNESS. So It I with nation many have risen to wealth, greatness and power, and hav paaaed away, and are remembered only in tbe page of some musty chron icle of their material grandeur and mar tial prowess. Their greatness was ma terial, not Intellectual and spiritual. Not so with those States whose greatness waa based upon their Intellectual achieve ments. Is Athens dead? Will she ever die? Will mankind ever contemplate her as one of the departed nations? "Her freedom and her power," says MacCau ly. "have for more than twenty cen turies been annihilated; her people have degenerated Into timid slave; her lang uage imo a oaroarous jargon; her tem ple have been given up to the succes sive depredations of Roman. Turk and Scotchmen; but her Intellectual empire Is Imperishable. And, when those who have rivaled her greatness shall have shared her fate; when civilization and knowledge shall have fixed their abode In distant continents; when the sceptre shall have paased away from England her In fluence and her glory will still survive- fresh In eternal youth, except from mu tability and decay, Immortal a the In tellectual principle from which they de rived tneir origin, and over which they exercise their control." In her literature. In her philosophy, in the studies which took their rise from her, she has wielded during the two thousand years since her fall and decay and she wields to-day a greater influence upon the thought, the action, and the deatlnlea of men and nations than she did when Pericles spoke and Homer sang; "when the resistless eloquence of her orators shook the arsenal, and thun dered over Greece to Macedon and Ar taxerxes throne." That North Carolina Is to be a exeat and powerful grate and her people rich and prosperous beyond even the expec tation of the boldest optimism. I do not for a moment doubt but let us hope that her greatness may consist In the intel lectual achievements and oreative e-enlus of her son and daughters as well as in their material accumulations. A CONCLUDING APPEAU To thl end. In conclusion, I apoeaJ for a deeper and broader culture and a high er Intellectual life In North Carolina, for a training and culture that will unit. the spring of our creative genius that It may pour forth Its treasure of eloquence and wit. of philosophy and fiction, of poetry and song; I appeal for a broad catholic North Carollna-f or a ' spirit to serve and sacrifice for the State for a spirit that will live as well as sing. "Carolina. Carolina. Heaven's bleasinsa attend her. While we live we will honor, defend her." cherish and Five Counties Without Special School Tax. Catawba County New. We have OBly five counties left on the "black list" in North Carolina. The term "black list" has been used by the school workers to designate those counties In which , no special tax districts are located. Those counties left are Alleghany, Graham. Greene. Tyrrell and Tancey. Thus of the ninety-eight counties In North Carolina, ninety-three have special tax for public schools. A THRIXUXQ RESCUE. How Sen K Lan. of Cheny.
