fore the people of Kansas to be voted
on this fall and one which has been
discussed but little among the voters

stead of $4,000. The News and OBJ
server of March 4th, contained this
account of the speaking in the Sen
ate:
Senator Speight introduced a bill
to appropriate $4,000 towards a bronze
statue of Zebulon i. Vance, to be
placed on capitol square. He said
the Vance Memorial Association had
already collected $4,000 for the pur-
pose and asked the, State to help in
the memorial.
Senator Franks spoke first for the
bill, his eyes filled with tears while
he appealed to Senators to thus COM
memorate ''the ~State's greatest citi-
zen. !; = He wished the appro-
priation were $4,000 instead of $4,000.
Senator Speight asked that the bill
be put on its Immediate passage.
Senator Williams said his first vote
had been cast when he was sixteen,
and it was for Zebulon b. Vance.
Senator Jones said he would sup
port the bill.
Senator Jones said he had loved
Vance while alive and honored him
when dead. Vance was Christian
and a gentleman. With all his heart
he would support the Dilf.
Senator Butler, of Iredell, said it
was always a pleasure to hear the
name of Vance. He had always held
up Vance as an example to the young.
Senator Cooke said that no vote of
his had been cast with more pleasure
than the vote for Zebulon Vance, who
lived to reflect honor on North Caro-
lima. Speaking through her represen-
tatives North Carolina would be un-
grateful to his memory not to pass
the bill.
Senator Hicks said that as Vance
climbed higher and higher he held
his place in the hearts of his people
Senator Glenn said he only regretted
that the appropriation was not large
enough. He had known Vance when
he met an intellectual giant in the
campaign in 1876. To North Carolina
he had been true in DAYS of war and
in days of peace. North Carolina had
never shown her loyalty to his mem
ory by the erection of monument
to one of the greatest, truest and best
of citizens.
