tempt was made to wreck the early
express by wedging a tie in the
frog. The Express leaves Pittsburg,
at 0:20 and fortunately was run
ming so fast that the tie was re-
duced to splinters and the train
sped on without the passengers
being made aware Of their narrow
escape. The strikers deny the
responsibility for the outrage and
guards have been placed along the
road to prevent further damage.

A CALENDAR OF GREAT NORTH CAR
OLINIANS.

Prof. Woodrow Wilson's calendar of
great Americans suggests calendar of
great North Carolnians. The list Of
great Americans is not long, and the list
OF great Carolinians is necessarily short.
By great North Carolinans it is taken
that we do not mean those who have
been prominent in state affairs, or who
have been actors in the limited drama of
a commonwealth. But it should include
only those who have achieved national
prominence.
Perhaps Nathaniel Macon should head
the calendar. He was a man Of para
mount integrity, of unusual ability, and
witLal most modest.
OF the signers OF the Decl aration Of
Independence there Is little to be said,
and they would hardly be included in
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1894-02-17

such a list. Their connection with events
was a turn of chance, and their achieve
ments do not merit fame.
James K. Polk pushed the Mexican
war to a successful conclusion, and
achieved the annexation of Texas. He
may be placed in the calendar.
Andrew Jackson, whom we North Car
olinians claim, Is one Of the few distinct.
i've Americans-products Of the new
nation-a child OF the republic, strong
willed, imperious, able, confident. AS
general and as president he deserves to
rank with great, original Americans.
Samuel Houston, strongly drawn, fam
tastic, of romantic career, of fruitful
achievement His name deserves TO
ad0rn this roll.
Daniel Boone, the fearless child of the
forest, the undaunted pioneer, the Co
lumbus of the dark and bloody ground"
Thomas H. Benton, egotistical, Of par
amount ability, who measured his steel
with Clays and Websters and was not
found their inferior A strange mixture
the hide of a rhinoceros, incasing a
heart that beat only for his country. A
giant In a Herculean day.
Will this complete the roll? Thomas
Person, the friend of the struggling col
onies; the signers of the Mecklenburg
declaration some Of the colonial gov
ernors Derphaps; Senator Badger, Will
lie P. Mangum and a few others, some
may place in the calender, but does not
the list OF six about complete the roll OF
those whose achievements have been Of

cess.

Will DR.. Kingsbury and DR., Battle and
others who take an interest in these
things, add to the list those they deem
rightfully entitled, stating why they
should be included in the calender?
