THE VAKCE
A 3IotIeI Selected-To Be Unveiled Next
' May -To Cost $7,000.
The Legislature appropriated
5,000 for a monument to I be
i"ho Oanitol sauare m
vlVLVW- vj-- X r -
Raleigh to the momory of Zebu
Ion B. Vance. The Vance
Memorial Association has added
2,000 to the fund. Ten models
by nine sculptors were presented
to the . committee last Thursday
and it made a ' selection of the
one presented by H. J. Ellicott,
of Washington. The Raleigh
News and Observer says:
"The statue is to be of United
States standard bronze, eight
feet six
inches high. The
pedestal will be of North Caro-
una granite, se v tjii iui mwuco
high. This Great Commoner is
represented as standing with his
left hand on a pedestal, on which
is- draped a North Carolina
flag. His right hand-, half ex
tended, is in its characteristic
attitudewhen speaking. Between
the thumb and his first finger is
"held. a pair of glasses, as was his
, habit:
"The pose of the body is erect,
but restful, standing with his
ieet well under him. He is
dressed in a Prince Albert coat,
close buttoned. This is the gar
ment he always wore in his later
years. He wears a high collar
with fallen ends and a broad flat
lie. .
"The whole effect of the
statue is remarkably life-like and
characteristic of this great man
in the last years of his life. Mrs.
yance saw the model before it
was "sent here "and pronounced
the pose and the likeness perfect.
"Though the details as to the
-pedestal have not yet been de
termined upon, it will be of
North Carolina pinky granite,
probably from the Iredell mines.
On four sides of it, in bold re
lief , will be a torch and a wreath
bound together by a broad Ro
man band. One these bands it
is proposed to put the words:
"Vance," '"Citizen," "Soldier,"
"Statesman." One word on
each band.
"The monument is to -be com
pleted, erected in the square and
Teady for unveiling by May 1 st,
1900. It will cost $7,000, and is
to be situated between the 1 cap?
itol and the east entrance, to 'the
square, about two-thircls of the
-distance from the building.
"Though the monument will
not be unveiled until next May
it will be completed and ready to
Jye put up by New Year's. The
artist, Mr. Ellicott, says he can
deliver it within six months."

man has been hanging around

"tale of woe. He . was given 20
minutes to get out of Durham
Thursday which he utilized in
good shape. The Sun warns
other towns against him. He's
welcome to try his game in Con
cord. Superintendent Benfield
can entertain him. We still have
plenty of road work for him.
