Cameron Morrison was inducted Into office, Thomas W. Bickett ushei ed out. and Raleigh, even as Richard, is herself again. The c«rsmonies that took plarc to day la the city’s great auditorium. In substantially all respect! surpassed any gubernatorial event in North Carolina's history. Old tuners nu-nt back to Zeb Vance, January 1 1877, when in snow a mile deep and tern perature 10 below xei o the warmest hearted eon of Carolina took hold ef a government vastly smaller than w+>L*h r>m»ron Morridon m - „ n m Ied today. It was a day of memories and the slate's great institution. Col. Pjj^^tllds, recalled the day as but Hooding back to that time when Vance opened his message with the famoas: "There is retribution In his tory," it Was a wonderfully warmer political atmosphere than that sur rounding Governor Morrison today. The Vance speech hadn't a word on the courageous utterance of Morris on. The Charlotte leader qalta met and surpassed the boat * spec led by bis friends; he more than confounded bis wotst enemies who eavesdropped him for platitudes, for worship of ths past and satisfaction with the '"Little Angela Tew.be. Heart.
