Former 5overnor Charles B Aycock, of North Carolina, drop ped dead at the Jefferson theater tonight while addressing the Ala bama Educational .Association Mr. Aycock was 'speaking on "Universal Education, Its Neces sity and benefit." He was about one-fourth through his address when he suddenly staggered back a step and fell to the floor' so suddenly that those on the stage were unable to reach him in time to support him. water was hastily tnrown in his face and he was taken 'to the wings of the theater, but expierd at once Death was pronounced to be the result of heart failure. Ex-Ckvernor Aycock followed Gov O'Neal, of Alabama, who had just delivered an- address to the association on "Some Educa tional Problems." Governor O'Neal and other men prominent in educational circles in the south, were seated on-the stage during Governor Aycock's ad dress. The remains of the deceased were taken to a local undertaking establishment, where they will be held until advices can "be receiv ed from North Carolina as to their disposition. Gov. Glenn Was to Introduce Him. 1 Ex-Governor Glenn- was to have presented former Governor " Ay cbc th e'Jul enceoir'tKe 'njyhT of "April 12, when he was due to open his campaign. Fol lowing that -(tdress he was to have delivered an address in Charlotte and ihe plan was to have him go to Winston-Salem for thcthird address about April 10 then coming to High Point. Notwithstanding the frequent predictions of the press of trie state that he stood little show for election to the senate many here were free to express the opinum that if Aycock could have made a speech in every county in North. Carolina there would have been a "ground-swell" for him. Loved Children. Perhaps ' there has never lived in North Carolina a man more generally loved and admired than Charles Brantley Aycock. He was the great champion of edu- I cation for the masses and today .1 t . i- -Hi tne news 01 nis ueatn win Dnng sadness to the hearts of little chil dren in a hundred counties. He loved children and it is said of him that he never .passed a child on the street in the town of Golds boro, where he lived for many years, but that he had a kind word and a pat on the head.- Chosen For Governor. With an overwhelming vote in favor of the Antendment in Au gust it was but natural that Aycock should be chosen as the standard bearer for the Demo critic party in North Carolina in the campaign of , 1900. At the Democartic convention .in . Ral eigh he was nominated for gov ernor without opposition. No one dreamed of opposing him. Every body in the party favored him not only favored him But looked upon him as the one man (or the office of "governor. The nomina tion came to him entirely . un sought. :.: Clarion Call to Democracy , It was at ihis convention that Aycock made one of the master speeches of his life,- the one in J which he laid down the platform of the rejuvenated Democracy of North Carolina.. It was from this speech that Tom Dixon caught the first inspiration, it is said, to write his novel "The ' Leopard's Spots," and the scene is re-enact- ed in the novel, with Charles Gas-, ton playing the part of Aycock in the convention. And there were many Colonel Worths in the Raleigh convention who learned anew the lesson of Democracy from a new Moses. It was in this speech that Aycock set forth his platform of education for the masses. In his speech he made the claripn .call to Democracy to rally to the defense of the chil dren by improving the school facilities. It was in this speech that he gave voice for the first time to his now famous declara tion: "Go speak the truth, tell it in Goth, publish it in the streets of Askelon, that universal educa tion of the white children of North Carolina will send us for ward with a bound in the race with the world." And upon his election to gov ernor that utterance became his platform, the spirit of it his all absorbing motive. - n- GOV. AYCOCK'S DEATH SHOCK TO PEOPLE OF HIGH POINT No man in the state possessed more of the regard and love of the High Ponit people than Ex-Governor Aycock and the announce ment of his death was the cause of many expressions of regret. He loved our people here and was proud of the record our town has made in a commercial way. He reTerreiifTcTir of the state. When- talkine with Oie writer and Mr. R. A. Wheeler 'luring the session of the last leg islature he remarked that the peo ple of the state had cause for pride in this community and would one day recognize it. Our people 700 of wliom heard him, will always remember pleasantly his kind references in his great speech before the ' committee in behalf of the new county.

MISS CAMERONAT THE EAGLE The following clipping from Public Opinion. Chambersburg. Pa., speaks for its self: Miss Eleanor Cameron, who has been singing at New Theatre this week, went to the jail by per mission of Sheriff Walker, this morning, accompanied by Signor Lorieberg. the cello player, and sang -a numbe of sacred songs and hymns in the lower corridor of the jail, just below the place w here Reed, the condemned mur derer is confined. Iler sweet singing, with the deep, and mov ing tones of the cello as accom paniment, rangi"horngh the old jail and deeply affected not only Keed but all who heard the music. The act was a graceful one and was highly appreciated. Reed asked for several hymns, which were sung, and he also ask- ed, and was permitted to shake hands with the musicians. Miss Cameron, of New York, is the soprano singer with the Passion Play pictures at New Theatre. We need say nothing of her singing to those who have heard her in this beautiful exhi bition for praise has been warm indeed for her sweet voice and true singing. Miss Cameron two years ago was here at The Star in an act she was then staging and was known as "The Girl with the Captjvating Voice." It is likely Mr. Boyer wi'l bring her back later in her vaudeville act. She sings such favorites during this engagement as "Dream of Para dise," "A Green Hill Far Away" and ''Calvary." , ' "' 0 -; Rev. T. J. Ogburn, of Greens boro, is here today, ' r z f : ! . 1 v . I High Point's Great White Way Our mayor and city council have always had an eye to the beauty of the town and in our opinion we lack only one thing on our business street to make it the most attractive of any in the state by far and that is illumina tion. We need a white way and must have it. The Enterprise brought the matter up with Mayor Tate this week and if it can be done he and the council will do it. We have the prettiest business street in the south and let us keep the beauty shining forth at night. Every man, woman and child in the city would be proud of it. Give us the White Way Mayor Tate we know you will Local and Personal "The Noble Outcasl" at the Auditorium tonight.
