In brief, North Carolina has risen from the ruins of the Chpil Wsr to sn almost incredi ble prosperity. Her people owe much to the inspired leadership of Charles B. Aycoek, who served tham as Gov ernor and died full of honors twelve years ago. He had hpen "a plow-bsy an a red-ehy fatpi, jjuj family of Vno consequence". His Urst passion when he-.grew, to manhood w/is schools. ,He" dropped dead in tho middle 4? a scentence in a famous speech on 4universal education.' " Mr. (Strother speiks of Ayeoek as "perhaps tho greatest orator North Carolina has pvodneed, as well as ens I of its sweetest spirit and bravest men." No man's ? epigrams were more stimulating. He declared^that "a dsaweracy eannbt beHbuilt en the backs of ignorant men.''-Others wko helped North Carolina to see "her dreams come true" were Edwin A.. Alderman and Walter Hines Pago. The latter's inspirational speech on "The Forgotten Man" was read and is treasured by thousands of North Carolinians. Well known also is his ? book "The Rebuilding of Old Cmr"? monwcaltlis." Such cultivators of! natural resources as the Dukes con tributed powerfidlv to the progress dt the State. The road builders brought the people of the highlands and the plains into such intimate touch that no farmer now lives far from a metal highway. There are no more isolated mountaineers. The poor white as u type has vanished. The further North Carolina goes on the road of progress the faster she scjiiis tj, move. Seven years ago she spsnt $.,000,000 a year on school maintenance. Last year the amount was $2^,0 j.0,000. In 1900 the value of her/school buildings was $1,000,000 Today it is $48,000,000. In three years she has spent $76,000,000 on concrete and macadam roads to connect the s&ts of hfer 100 countios. Her wealth lias been multiplied by ten in twenty i years. In 1900 her bank deposits were I $10,000,000. By 1923 they had risen I to $345,000,000. She has practically ? no immigration. Her fortunes havei been pi^od up by the brains and sin-' ews of a native stock that is n?t afraid of work. So^ she has becime i one of the richest per capita States j in the Union. Her death rate'is "the lowest in the country." / RALEIGH DILLARD DLAD \ Mr. Raleigh Dillard died at Mer gonton, where he had been taken for treatment, daring the night/of*Sat urday, December 20.
