ISSUED TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS U? iU E-Governor Aycock's Last Speech a Plea for Education Following is the address of the late lamented Charles Brantley Aycock, delivered at Birmingham. Ala., last Tlhufif nisrht. The address on ! tha sotjtct of education was not finished. Governor Aycock falling deifd while speaking: Governor Aycock't Speech. T,hf feature of the early portion of Governor Aycock's addres was that he fowl his audience convulsed with laughter. Ills -delivery seemed to .be very effective. The stenographic report of his speech up to the time of hi ceath is as follows: "Ladies and Gentlemen 1 am ex tremely gratified at the terms in wbksh ills excellency, the Governor of Alabama, has seen fit to present ma iA thta maznlficent audience; it is very Hatlsfylng. I knew, of course, that what he said about ;me wasn"t the truth, because I have 'been " a Governor myself and I know what 1 , am talking -about. (Laughter ). But I enjojed it the more because it was not tfce truth. (Laughter.) You know, it dots -not make a pretty woman glad to tell her so; she knows it be foro yu tell her; but if you want to see jj radiate a woman, you get an unly womannot in Alabama, for you couldn't find her here (Laugh tor) but you go up in New England &d Had an ugly woman and tell her so (liaughter) just tIl her she is pretty and she ft 111 be the happiest, jila!, woman in the. United States (Lauctter). 1 Would Be Vanity. "Ami this Is the way I felt to night when the Governor says that I have done more for education in the South than, any ' other Governor in It. After listening to his magnifi cent address it would be vanity on my part to believe it, but I am proud of tfce fact that we have v built a schoeBiouse in North Carolina every day al nee I was inaugurated, as Gov ernor, Including Sundays;; and I am here tonight to tell you that I am a .thorocfh believer in education. I believe in universal education. - Did you bear, what I said? Ypu see, I am aet a scarey man. , I believe in universal education; I believe In educating everybody. I will go fur ther, md say that I believe in edu cating everything, and so do you when you come to think about it . "Wkflt do you mean by education? You mean bringing out of a thing what God Almighty put 'into It. I re peat that I am in favor of educating everybody and educating everything. Why,, we have educated the Irish po tato, You know what an Irish po tato is now, but what did the potato use to he when it was ignorant and had sever gone "to school? Why, it war. a little thing, and it was tough .-and brtter, but some wiser man than - ,the average found it,' and he says, 'I believe . this thing has got good In it, and I will fetch it out." 'Fetch is a rood word in North Carolina, but I do 'not know how it is in Alabama. .1 taught school myself, and I know English as she Is spoke. He said it is not good and I will fetch it out, and he proceeded to separate it; to bring out of it what It had in it. -He planted it, and fertilized it and culti vated it, and planted it and fertilized and cultivated, and planted it and fertilised it and cultivated it, until the Irish potato has become so good that ire havn It thrPA ftmns'n Aav every day in the year, and we thank God when leap year comes and gives us one more day in which to eat Irish, potatoes. .(Laughter). An Ignorant Irish Potato. "Bu you must understand that is -:-A-- 00 A CONFIDENTIAL TIP To get your money's worth have your laundry done at Star Laundry. The constant endeavor of the establishment is to make people talk about the quality cf the work it turns out and the moderate asked. HENRY HUBBARD. Agent Phone an educated Irish potato, and that is not an ignorant Irish potato. You would not eat the old fashioned, ig- norant Irish potato on Saturday. It is good for a vegetable, and it Is good for animals, and it is good for in ihiiIb Vmi know the most dan gerous thing in this country Is an old, unbroken mule. Josh Billings Bald if ho had to preach the funeral of a mule be would stand at his head. (Laughter.) "But that Is your unbroken mule. We call It 'breaking them. What is 'breaking' a mule except training aim, educating him. bringing out of him what there is in him? Why, when you buy a mule fresh from a drove it takes two white men and one fifteenth 'Amendment to hitch him to plow. (Laughte.r) And when you get him hitched up be plows up more cotton than he does grass; but after you have brokenhlm, train ed him, developed him, educated him, why that old mule; goes right along. Wo used to, In our -State, when, I was a farmer, and that old mule'would go right along down the side of this cotton 'and when a clod dropped over on It she would keep her head so you could lift it off. (Laughter.) I have done it and -I know how to do it; I say what I be lieve because I know that if you don't let me make a living practicing law or in politics I can plow it out Is Good For a Dog. "Vellf If, It Is good, for a mule H is good for a dog: ; Anybody ijunt foxes in Alabama? If it was day time I could look in your faces and tell, because if there Is any lovely inatt on the face of the earth It is one of these old time fox hunters. (Laughter.) ' While I Used to travel up and down North Carolina, ma king political speeches, and night would be coming on and I didn't know . Just .where I was going to stay, I '.would begin to look out on the roadside and come to a nice place and I wouldn't see a dog there I would go right on through; but if I got to a place and found about 15 hounds reclining in the de clining rays of the 'sun, I drove right in and stayed there, because I know there ain't a man in North Carolina that will feed 15 hounds but that will be glad to feed me and want me to stay a week with him. "Now, take that hound puppy. It hasn't run foxes. A hound pup py that has never run anything; he would get up before breakfast and start a rabbit before being told to. But when you want 'the hound to hunt foxes you take that hound pup py and break him, train him, "edu cate him; and you take him out some ' beautiful moonlight night in the cold crispness of -the early fall or the late fall or early winter, with the old hound, and you take the boys along with you, if you -are a good-heanted mam, too, and you won't have been 'out more than 15 minutes before every one of those dogs will be going yaw, yow, yow, and ' the old fox hunter says, shut up, that is no fox; it is nothing but a rabbit. You wait until you hear the music. And by and by, away off yonder on Uhe hill a mile away you will hear the music come, and your "fox hun ter says, 'Stop, Jhush.' He waits un til she gives mouth again. He say 'Hush up tjhere.' He sends the other dogs in because he knows a fox has gone along there if he had seen the fox put his foot down tjhere, be cause that music is educated and ah speaks the truth.

Queen Elizabeth taxed the blocked beaver out of ex istence, and Pitt's hnt tax of 1784 brought a substantial revenue. Stamps were fixed inside the crown of the hat from threepence to 2 shillings, accord ing to its price, while the penalties for selling unstamped hats ranged from 10 to 20. and the punishment for counterfeiting a hat stamp was death. But an attempt to tax women's French straw hats of the wattenu style signally failed. They were smuggled over in large quantities, and before this could be coped with wat teau hats went out of fashion, and the tax was a dead letter. London Chron icle. Women Street Cleaners.
