NORTH CAROL1NA's GREAT MIN

| To the Editor of The Observer.
In attending TRINITY commencement
l was somewhat surprised when Dr..
KIgo de ,larCd that the reason North
Carolina had never prOdaced any great
men like Webster, Clay sud Washing
ton, was that the socialistlc spiri5 was
too strong here. It sounded t. me
too much as il the doctor would ig.
more the fact that cur State has pro
duced such men as Andrew Jackson,
Andrew Johnson, Thomas 81 Benton,
James K. Polk, our beloved Vance,
Judge Cts on, Governor vie, Rich
ard Caswell and Judge TnOmas Ruffin,
ST., who has been recognized all over
the United State and England as one
of the leading authorities on q Ws
tions of law. Among these men Jnere
may not have been a Washin gton, a
Clay, or a Webster, but we think they
compare favorably with those of other
States. We freely grant Virginia frs
place in the production Of great men,
but We would place North Carolina so
neal to it on the list that the nam S
would probably be contiguous. We
have some Of the very best of mate
rial for great men in our schools and
colleges AID We expect yet TO turn out
a Clay, a Webster, and possibly a
Washington We do not forget, too,

with their attendant expense would be
out of consideration entirely. Then,
too, there would not be that waste in
cident TO hauling half a load because
the wheels were weak and would not
stand more. Surely the remedy lies
in buying wheels so made that the
tires cannot come If from any possible
shrinkege; so that hubs, spokes and
felloes cannot shrink, become loose or
rot; wheels that are strong enough at
all times &c carry any load two horses
can drew with comfort, and finally,
wheels with broad tires that afford
perfect traction and ease of locomotion
without rutting or cutting up the
fam or roads.
Such wheels can be had at a mere
nominal pric9 from the Electric Wheel
