Aycock Memorial Association.
To the People of North Carolina:
The movement to build a monument
to the late Hon Charles Brartley Ay
cock, 'Educational Governor" of North
Carolina, inaugurated under the aus
pices of "the Aycock Memorial Asso
ciation," is one the purpose of which
should appeal with responsive effect
to every citizen of the Old North State
of every age, condition and avocation, i
for his great work in promoting public I
education was not limited to any class ;
or caste, but made for the uplift of the
masses, that with eyes to see and ears
attuned to hear and minds schooled i
to comprehend they might, as painted j
in his own last words to the people oi j
his State whom he loved, "enter upon j
a new day, the day of equality of op-
portunity, the hour when every man '
shall be free to work mightily for him-j
self until his soul, filled to satisfaction, j
shall everflow with a common benefit '
to mankind, owing no tribute to anv i
one, and bound only to love his fellow- ;
man and serve his God as to him may i
seem best." The man who held and
advocated such an ideal for the peo
ple of his State as a whole deserves
that his name, his memory and his life
work be perpetuated in such a manner
as would be best calculated to vitalize
the principles for which he stood in the
hearts of the passing generations
through all the tomorrows, "till the last
syllable of recorded time."
"Equal! That is the word ; on that
word I plant myself and my party
the equal right of every child born on
earth to have the opportunity to bur
geon out all that there is within him."
These, his last words to the people of
North Carolina should be inscribed in
perpetual character, not only upon the
base ol a bronze statue erected to him
in the State Capital, but also upon
some permanent educational memo
rial whose benefits should go down the
ages for the help of needy childhood
struggling upward to the light.
It is the desire and purpose of the
"Aycock Memorial Association" to give
man, woman and child in North Caro
lina the opportunity and privilege of
contributing to this memorial fund.
Geo. C. Royall, President,
Goldsboro, N. C.
Matt H. Allen, Secretary,
Goldsboro, N. C.
B. R. Lacy, Treasurer. Raleigh, N, C.
There is a Vice-President from each
Congressional District in the State and
our popular townsman, General B. S.
Royster, represents the Fifth District.
The Vice-Presidents, with the aid of
the executive committee, will organize
each county in their respective dis
tricts and the officers of county asso
ciations will appoint canvassing com
mittees in every town and rural dis
tricts of every township, whose duty it
shall be to make a speedy canvass, ex
tending to every person in their re
Dective districts the opportunity to
contribute.
It is earnestly desired to raise a fund
not less than $50,000. and if the county
associations are prompt to organize
and the canvass rushed vigorously and
every person is solicited we see no
reason why the fund should not be
$100,000, which would enable us to
found such a memorial to Governor
Aycock as would he both creditable to
the State and an honor to his memory
and a benediction to the masses for all
time.

"IN A BAD WAY"
Many an Oxford Reader Will
Feel Greatful for This
Information.
When vour back gives out;
Becomes lame, weak or aching;
When urinary troubles set in.
Your kidneys are "in a bad way."
Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.
Local evidence proves thier merit
D. S. Fuller, Broad St., Oxford N.
C, says: "I knew that my kidnevs
were disordered, for the kidney s-ecr-tions
were unnatural and dep sitedsed
iment I had a dull pain in my back and
there were sharp, shooting twings in
mv kidneys. I rested poorly and all
these troubles, caused my health
to become rim down. When 1 heard
about Doan's Kidnov I got a
supply at the Hamilton's Drug Store
and it did not take them long to
drive away my aches and pains.
Doan's Kidney Pills are by far the
best kidney medicine I ever used."
(Statement given in February
1908.)
RE-ENDORSEMENT.
On December 0. 1910. Mr. Fuller
said: "I willingly verify my former
statement given in praie of Doan's
Kidney Pills. I still believe that this
remedy is an effective one in curing
kidney trouble."
