Carr's Speech at .the Italelffh Banquet. " Future Possibilities of Norlh Car. olina as a Manufacturing States Our oil is rich in minerals, our forests are mighty in timber; our rirers-un limited in water power, our climate as balmy as perpetual Spring, and we are near the great markets of the world. There advantages combine to form sn exceedingly bright out look for North Carolina Mr. Julian o Carr. responding, said: To the Mtmbert of the Raleigh vnamDer 01 commerce; Oetleme -,: When the Persians advanced with their overwhelming iorces against urttce, it is sail that beautiful Athene presented herself at the throne of her father and begged for the preservation of her city; But fate had otherwise decreed. Athens must perish in order that a better and nobler city might rise from its rnins, and accoidingly Zeus was ob Iiged to refuse tte prayer of oil be loved daughter. The Athenians-took to their fleer, abandoning altogether the city, which the remans then en tered and destroyed utterly with fire and sword, not evea-tparine the sacred Olive of the Bondsss. Hut lo! as sign that she had not forsaken, her city, even in ruins, there sprang sud aeniy from tne root wmcn remained new shoot which, with wonderful quickness, grew to a length of three yards, and was looked upon as an em blem of the regeneration of the eity. Men of North Carolina, it is within our memory when the ruthless hand of war despoiled our alters, and fire and sword destroyed almost every thing, sate our honor, and yet to day II ! - .... . we cu an reioioe in me tact mas our rehabilitation and material prosperity command the admiration of the world. "Did we dare, In our agony of prayer. Aik for more than he has done! When was ever his right hand, over any time or land, Stretehed as now beneath the sun!" I feel, my friends, that this ban quet, given by the Chamber of Com merce, of Kaleigb, is an auspicious occasion, but you have given me a vast and a difficult theme when you atk me to respond to the toast t "The Future ot North Carolina as a Manufacturing State." If this evening. I could oolv com mand the eloquence of our Waddell. of the Cape Fear, or the majestic esenceof our matchless Ransom. or the powers of our beloved Vance. or the "silver tongue of our honored governor, I might hope to do the subject justice, and succeed in re ponding to your sattafaction, there- lore you must allow for the short comings of one, who in such splendid presence, attempts n-j maiden post prandial effort. Speaking of the ns-nces of North Carolina, it if alwsys our proud boast that ol the forty -l wo states that com pote the great sisterhood of states. perhaps North Carolina alone fills almost, il not quite all of the blank spaces npoa the census report, and yet my fellow citizens there are nuov bera of less favored com mon wealth s that more largely figure in the grand makeup that goes to make tins the grandest country on the habitable lobe. Of the original thirteen states, none has a history rightly more hon orable tLan ours. No patr'otlo North Caroliniau Is even ready to admit that the Jsflersonian Declaration ot American Independence antedated our own Mecklenburg Declaration ol the 20th of. Mar. to siy nothing of our Cowpcoo, Muore's Creek, King'i Mountain, Guilford Court House; and the Centennial of American In dependence which this country las so recently celebrated, recalls the his toric fact that North Carolina to the aat. held steadfast to the demand that there should be incorporated in to the fundamental lawa of our coun try, that sacred and elementry prin. ciple that each state shall have guar anteed to it certain in alienable righta. These proud memories, we as North Carolinians, should never forget, and we should see that they are properly handed down to posterity, remember ing that "A 'aid without memories, Is a land without liberties." Yes give me a land toat is blest by the dust And bright with the deeds of the down-trodden just. Yi, give me ihs land that hath le gead and isys Enshrining the memories of long vanisoea days. Yes, give me a land that hath story and song, To tell ot tbe strife, of the right with - 3 i me wrong." li a. do mocn, u you will pardon me, for our early history. Coming later to a time when most of vou I see be fore me were actors, I claim our re cord is even more glorious. Furn ishing to the maintenance of a cause we believed to be right more men than any of the eleven states which confederated with us. and consequent iy oapiiEipg tnat cause with more blood, we made history that, I swear to you. until the stare pale before the uogment oiaze of a burnine world. shall be to us as proud as Thermopylae was io ureece, or rnarsaius to noma, or uressy to England. I am aware, my mends, that 1 am ahootme wide of tbe range, that, as we are wont to ay, I am not sticking to my text, but l am taking advaotage of that allow ance tnat 1 am sure my audience cheerrully willing to grant in linger ; i c . . . tog .hi iooif in eavcuon&ie reraera oranceoi me glorious past or our own Carolina. Remembering, as I remarked while ago, that North Carolina filled more of the blanks of the enumerator's list than any state in the union, and with a climate unsurpassed, neither too hot nor too cold, with potentia lities, almost incalculable, what, am I ted to luquire, prevents our being the first state in the union in the march of industrial progress? The climate is ours, tne natural resources are ours, the conditions are all favorable. Then why not the results? It mfght te time wasted w ten tnat it was in our power to make Weldon or Fay etteville the Lowell of the South; that we tbteht create a Pittsburg at Ureeosboro, or an Lvansvire at Ral eigb, or a Grand Rapids at Njw Berne, or a Rutland at Charlotte, or that Wilmington might be made ol more commercial Importance than aorioik. mere are all la the range oi possiouiues, u brawn and braio native and to the manner born, be found commensurate. Then, my friends, the point I wish to impress is, that the future of North Carolina aa a manufacturing state is just woat you ana l aeciare it ana.' oe. i nere ia a Latin proverb, "quis- que sul fort una faber est." This is no less true of communities ana slates. North Carolina, famous in history, aa I hate already intimated. should lead the van in the march of industrial progress, and listen, if she doea not, we, aa North Carolinians, are atone to blame. We are due to oar state, to ourselves, to posterity an obligation that we are permitting every day to go to protest in tbe eyes of tbe world. We can, and we ought to put North norolina with her great potentialities in tne loreiroot. Allow me, for your encouragement along this line, to mention a com aunity in our state that when most of oi came to manhood wae unknown to tbe map-makers. To-day the hum of machinery In that community is heard each recurring mornine arouna tne wona, ana net commer cial travelers visit every civilized and a.t a . a a w semi civilized country upon tbe globe. Yes, far off Australia, prints io her uircvwi j uie uui ui a lamiiy, a resi aent representative or that communi ty, who was at ono time chief of the police department ol tbe eitr of Ral eigh Surely what man has done man can do, and it is within the raoge of possibilities for the clever citizens of magnificent Raleigh t j da dare that in Australia, ia Africa, or even far-off Japan, her citizens shall represent some Rak-igh industry, And allow me to deal frankly with tLis Chamber of commerce number ing, as you do, sjme ot tbe finest com raei cial talent to be found any' wuere, wneo i declare that you are greatly at fault that such ia not the case. Take, gentlemen, yout talent from their napkins and bestir yoar selves, creating manufacturing in dustries. Yea, men of North Carolina, I tell yon our manufacturing and indue, trial interist. in the hands of brave and couarseous fflea such as I about me to-night, can do for North Carolina what the arts and sciences have done for the world. We are all familiar with the story of how Ham car took bis son Hannibal, when only twelve years of age, and made nitu swear eternal venganc against bis archenemy, Home, somewhat in the same spirit I propose to teach my three eons to be forever loyal to North Carolina. I shall tell them as they gaze at our grand old Ana lachian range of mountains, bankrd there by the Great Architect of the uoivete oa the morning of the Croa tian of the world, of the untold wealth the great Creator has hidden there, only to be developed by the energy, the Industry and the audacity of man, and it is a duty that they owe to their state and humanity to assit in unlocking those vast storehouses and in developing those grnd resources that have slumbered undisturbed since the world began. I shall tell them of our magnificent water power and our untold wealth in timber land, and say to them that the stite of their and their father's nativity demands that these be more fully developed and utilized, and that they shall do vote their time, their talent and their energies to damming these streams, to felling these forests, making avail able the forces that the Framer ami Builder of the universe meant shou'd be utilized to make humanity com fortable and happy, by furnishing employment lo thousands of Mi hands and making for grind old North Carolina the proui and en. viable name which the development of these resource will bring u her justly. And again I suiil poiut them to some m .jest io smokestack belch ing out its volums of flame in the face of heaven's blue dome, aud shall tell them at the base of that pyre some noble soul has lit a fire that is converting into something useful some of the vsst resources of North Carolina, and where capital gladly lurnuhts labor with a good day s wages ror a lair day work, and shall bid them in the name of the stale I love next t the lovdy home and precious family that good fortune has blessed me with, to go aad do likewise, and God speed them. Yes mv inenas, we owe it to our aear out ?. a 1 I mother to invoke all the beat aud the latest weapons known to civ lized in. dustry to make our mi es and forests, out streams, our field aud our great mountains give up tne vast wealth hidden away there bv the great Crea tor or m all. When we ail are re solved to do this, the answer comes to the question. What of the future of Noru Carolina as a manufacturing stater But considering North Caro'ina at a manufacturing state iu the near fature, let as not forget her as an agricultrial state of to-day. North Cartliua Is and for a time must re main an agricultrial state. We must and do recognize to the fullest extent that all we have of good comes from tbe ground and tbe tiller of the oil. , Agricultrure in our state is in a depressed condition. Whenever it occurs that the farmers by thrift. diligence and tbe use of proper an pliances cannot prosper or does not prosper, there i something radically and inherently wrong, who so fit and proper to determine tbe wrong and decide a remedy as the farmer himself? And when tbe great body of the agriculturists, not omy in our own state, but in tbe other state de vote to agriculture, have suggested remedy for their wrong, why should not all otbsr ciastes of our people ac quleace in this decision and assist in tne amelioration of their condition, by adopting and insisting upon those measures of relief which, in their wisdom, they determined best ca'cj ated to give them relief and put them on the high road to prosperity? declare to von mat any well consid ered measures for the relief of our agricultural brethsren (and well con sidered, I know they will be end have been by them), should receive the support and should be carried into practical legislation by all who oye and desire a perpetuity of our institutions upon the principles of freedom to all and security to all. My friends, these times are hastily coming, the dawn of the morning It above the horizon, uur ruture win be a great as it is certain and glor ious, uoyoa wonder then tnat I tell you I gaze upon the yst, rapid rowth of our Industrial progress in North Carolina, not with the eye of faith, but with the prophetic eye ol certainty. Aod 1 fill with patriotic rapture as l neboid aoun Carolina t future glory breaking above tbe gloom of the past; and as X welcome the dawn of the bright morning. I shall covet no grander pnaa to fall upea my ear as I sink from tbe en- gsgsmsnt of a busy life into Ike great unknown, then to cease to recognize any other not after the aong ol Carolina's most glorious son shall fade from my ear t -Carolisa, Carolina. Heaven's blessing attend htr, While we live we will cherish, Protect aod defend her." ATItUE IRISHMAN. Every Irish Heart Loves the Patriot, William O nilen. New York Sun. The man who has the heartfelt admiration and love of every wan, woman and child in I relaud to-day is William O'lirien. His bust in piaster is in every cabin, and his Picture ornaments every wall. He has spent two out of the past three years m prison for making what are called incendiary speeches, and his confinement has made serious in roads on his once vigorous health. 0 Bnen is ubiquitous. During the season when Parliament is not in session he is apt to appear almost unexpectedly in any part of Ireland, notwithstanding the surveillance of the police. Especially is he liable to appear in those districts where evictions are in progress or are about to take place. On these occasions he is m the habit of making speeches. These addresses never take place in a pub lic hall, but are alwavs made in a locality unknown to the police. The way in which he gets his audiences on these occasions is unique. The fact that he wishes to make an ad dress is made known to some of the prominent men in the National league, and by secret means the peasantry are notified of the place of meeting. Barefooted messengers often run firty miles in the course of a day carrying news Often the courier is seated on a horse which jumps the hedges and ditches, where it is impossible for a jaunting car to follow with the pol:ce. The meet ings usually take place in the even ,B of on Sunday afternoon in a field on the outskirts of a village. It is not unusual for 10,000 mento gather at that place of meeting. They come in little knots of two orthrea by unfrequented paths and resorting to all kinds of subterfuges to avoid the police, for these guard ians of the peace are about to re press these demonstrations. When the speech is made at night there is a rough platform just large enough to contain the speaker and Ii by a single homely torch. The and i.nco gathers around in a dense mass. packed together like clothes-pines in a box. O'Brien climb nn tha Slatform, and is saluted by a sub ued roar of applause, which is quickly hushed when the sneaker waves his hand and enjoins silence upon his listeners. O'Hrien a Pnuce Albert coat buttoned up to his turn, ue is seen to be of slim figure, about 5 feet 7 inches in height, and not at all nn im posing figure. His face is rmle with emotion, and the light of patriotism giows in hw eyes, lie stretchesout Jus slim white hand, and every ear in the audience is intent tocatch his words as he begins in th nn..iiVnl style so dear to the Irish heart: relloW Citizen. Irish nitrintwm w high as the round towers, deep u the holy wells." He does not cet anv further than this for many minutes, fortfie pent- up emnuaiajun or tne people cannot be restrained, and a mighty roar of assent to the lofty sentiment goes up. When silence is restored he resumes, and such a torrent of elo quence pours from his lips that the vat crowd forget their oppression for the time being and become al most delirious with joy. The very fire of his utterance" weakens the speaker, and in the middle of his speech he is forced to sit down, covered with flowery metaphor, when some one on the outskirts of the crowd exclaims: "The bobbies are coining!" Two minute later the field U In serted. Many of the audience hv- been caught, and some have been taken to prison, there to serve out sentences of front three to six months. When these nt-etincs take td:u in the day time a foot-ball is alwavs taken along, m that when the Police appear the ball can be thrown into he air and everybody makes believe play the game. leased Willi the SiiggeHtinti.
