Hon. T. W. Bickett.
One of the much talked of men
in North Carolina today la State
Attorney General. T. W. Bickett.
His name is heard from the moun
tains to the sea, and it is a foregone
fact that he is to be the next Gov
ernor of North Carolina. The State
has no bigger man ? he measures in
every way with any statesman the
State has ever offered for this high
trust. He is aafe on every ques
tion that has to do with the best
interest of the commonwealth. He
Is a most original and refined
speaker, clear cut In his statements
and no State in the Union would
have a mare popular Governor than
North Carolina when he comes into
his own. We have thought he
would gain this hQpor through
opposirtoTr but we believe the oppo
sition will all pas away before many
moons and that Bickett will go in
without a dissenting voice. Let It
be so.
We have read an article written
by one of his friends from the west
which appeared in the Sunday Issue
of the Charlotte Observer, and it
drives so near our thought ? of the
man. that we copy it in full in this
issue. We Invite you to look It up
and read the entire article. It will
help you to leurn somethln(t_of this
great man who has been discovered
only in recent years at the Charlotte
