N. C.'s Twelve Greatest Men.

To the Editor: If the test of greatness
be of service to the State | would name
the following twelve as our greatest men
in reply to your request for opinions on
that subject: Caswell, Macon, Morehead,
Swain, Pearson, Clingman, Graham, Cat
ling, w. l.. Saunders, Vance, E. NJ. Holt,
T. j. Jarvis. OF course, if brilliancy of
brain and accomplishments were made
the test men like w. w. Cherry Johnston
Pettigrew, Mr. Badger, DR.. Hawks, Judge
Schenck, Henry w. Miller. Edwin G.
Reade, Judge CASTOR w. r. Davie, B. T.
Moore, Governor Bragg and others would
necessarily have TO be gone through and
the list made to include more or less
of such names Sticking to service and
emitting sense Governor CasweIl seems
more than any other one to have
thrown North Carolina into the whig
rather than the tory column in the early
days and to have been rewarded accord
ingly.
Our chief debt to Macon lies in the fact
that he was Jeffersop's right arm in this
State when the young Republic tottered
on the brink of olgarchy. Governor More
head was our one business man among
the leaders of his time and marshalled
us the way TO SucH internal improve
ments as the short sightedness and
stringency of Eastern Shareholders would
permit the State to engage in. Swain
formed the general mind, as Pearson
formed the legal mind of more than one
generation of the States best and wisest
men, a service unmeasured this side of
the stars. To Clingman we largely owe
it that Western North Carolina kept in
line with the South and did not follow
East Tennessee in the great schism. No
man ever sent by the State to Washing
ton welded larger influence than he,
no man ever more adroitly used that in
fluence in moulding a stubborn whig con-
stituency into secessionists.
Governor Graham was the voice of the
State from 1862 to his death, in 1875. No
move was made in that time unless with
his silent or open approval. Parnell was
never stronger in Ireland. r. c.
Calling is a world famous inventor whom
we claim with pride.
Saunders served in letters to our great
good, an able editor, but as the brains of
the opposition to reconstruction his place
is beyond question in the highest niche.
Vance, the elder Holt. and Jarvis who
unlocked Western North Carolina are
men known 10 every one as entitled to an
upper seat. w. S. PEARSON.

EDUCATION IN TIE SOUTH.
An Awaken Interest in Alabama and Georgia
Increased Appropriation.

Especial to New York Evening Post.)
Atlanta Ga, Dec. 26.-An awakening Of
the South in the matter of education, due
largely to the agitation of the subject in
the press. is evidenced in the increased
appropriations for the schools just made
by the Alabama and Georgia Legislatures.
In the former State the appropriation for
the public schools was largely increased,
being now $1000,OOO. as compared with
$544 900 in 1890. The States colleges also
Jared well at the hands of the legislators
and an appropriation of $4,000 was voted
to the Boyd Industrial school, a new in
stitution in Birmingham, established by
the efforts of the women of that city.
In Georgia the Senate voted s1,0OOOOO
for the public schools, an increase of
5000, 900 over last years appropriation,
but an inability of the two houses to
agree on the necessary changes in the
tax bill to warrant the increase led to a
cutting of the amount to last year S
figures. Exceptional generosity was

HOME CAPITAL DID 1T.

The Kinston Free Press reprints the
editorial from the News and Observer
showing that the manufacturing en-
terprise and growth of the South are
almost entirely due to Southern thorn
men, and adds:
"What the News and Observer says
of North Carolina is especially appli-
cable to Kiuston. which has been built
up by the cooperation of the home
people, beginning by putting their lit
tie sums together in one little mill and
after that succeeded putting larger
sums together in larger factories. And
that is the way that Kinston will con-
tinae to grow and thrive
What is true of Kinston is true of
every other progressive town and city
of the South. Nothing succeeds like
success" Now that Southern men
have shown that there is large profit
in manufacturing, the day of larger
enterprise lies out before US. North
ern capital can be readily induced to
invest with Southern capital in all
those manufacturing enterprises which
demand large means to- successfully
prosecute them. The State of North
Carolina can build fifty new large cot
ton factories in the next five years with
the proper effort. Most of this CAPT
tai must come from the home towns,
but when the home folks have shown
their faith by investing their own
money and their time, it will not be
difficult to secure large investments
from large investors in other States.
In Henderson, when the cotton mill
was erected, a paratively small
portion of the stock was taken by a
few capitalists in another State. Later,
when it was decided to enlarge the
mill. these few Northern capitalists
wished to take I'll the additional
stock, the investment having been so
profitable. The home stockholders
also wished to take it all. The desire
for it was so great that the new stock
had to be divided among the stock
holders in the proportion of their orig
inal holdings. What happened in Hen
derson will happen in any town that
is determined to build new factories
and to put them under the manage
ment of the most successful business
men.
Raleigh can build and ought to
build at least one large, new cotton mill
in 1901 besides building other new in
dustries and charging those already
in existence.

TIE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
The Elks Give Dinner to Little Ones in
Charlotte.

The Elks of Charlotte gave Christmas
dinner to nearly one hundred poor chill
dren at noon on Christmas day. The
guests were invited by cards which had
been given to various clergymen in the
city and we're distributed among the small
boys and girls who would not otherwise
obtain a Christmas dinner.
The little ones were on time in large
and eager numbers. Each one was
dressed in his or her best and was hap
by in anticipation of feast and sub
stantial Santa Claus. AS they were hui
man they regarded not the exquisite APP
pointments and furnishings of the club
rooms. but watched the dining room with
wide-open eyes. They did not have long
to wait. So soon as they assembled in full
numbers Rev. DR.. John W. Stage made
a brief talk in the nature Of blessing,
and then the small army of youth and
hunger was marched up to the long rows
of tables They ate persistently and zeal
ously without advice, but politely, as be-
came ladies and gentlemen. And 1T was
part of the programme that they con-
sumed the food that graces the table of
the millionaire. Turkey cranberry sauce,
celery and Accomplishments and much des-
sert were handed out in lavish style until
each little soldier sighed over battle
than was finished
At the conclusion of the dinner each
child was given several handsome toys.
Then their happiness was supreme. For
once Santa Claus had come and had done
his duty. Being blessed by charity that
dignified and honored the givers they
reckoned the day as the most joyous in
their lives.
Assisting the Elks in their hospitality
were Messrs. J. H. Wellington and
Misses Helen and Frances Mallory, May
Oates, Faye Griffith and Nina Brem.
LIVELY IN ASHEVILLE.
Christmas eve was lively in Asheville.
The streets were crowded, and the crowds
felt good and didn't care who knew it.
The horn blowers as the light adj
vanced joined in squads and frolcked up
and down the crowded streets with their
music. One of these squads numbered
sixteen boys, marching in twos. There
were all colors and ages among the noise
producers. Six negro girls going home
together through Patton avenue, each
with her bundle of purchases, footed
their way through the crowd One man
led a band of screechers with cornet.
On the streets just converging from the
public square, from . o'clock till 10, it
was the noisiest, rollickingest Christ
mas evening ever known in Asheville.
GAY IN WILMINGTON.
The Christmas eve celebration in Will
mington was one of the gayest and most
festive experienced in Wilmington for
years. The weather conditions were quite
favorable and the streets were crowded
until after midnight The noise of tin
horns, the rafting of all kinds of tin
vessels, etc, was terrific, but the crowds
were good natured and everything passed
off without any trouble. The explosion
of works was kept up necessarily
until the early hours of the morning.

queStion-is now less prominent. The
immense additions to the gold supply
have rendered less important that we
should have the double or alternate
standard. And there is no other great
question On which Southern Demo
Gratis have differed with Northern
Democrats. Moreover, the. action of
the Northern Democrats at Kansas
City eyinces spirit of concession,
which Southern Democrats will APP
preciate, SO that it may be accepted
that all who proclaim their allegiance
to the Democratic party and faith will
in 1904 fnd>it easy to unite in COM
mon action. But even when the party
is entirely united it is in the minority:
and it will only obtain power, il at
all, because enough Republicans at the
North are driven into the opposition
by the excuses of the Republican
party.
The Democratic party at the South
will be glad be glad to see its political
principles pat into operation in the
administration of our Federal affairs,
believing that the people will be bene-
fitted thereby and the honor and glory
of our country will be promoted. But
we are not disturbed because major
ity OF the Northern people prefer it
otherwise. We merely devote our
selves the more closely to what is still
more interesting to us-the up-build
ing of our particular communities.
And the negroes? They are making
great progress; for that race, marvel
Gus progress-a progress that was
never dreamed Of in 1860, and that has
its counterpart in no other country in
the world where any considerable
number of negroes are massed to-
gether. If any one is curious to know
more about them, a winter at the
South is less inclement than in Massa-
chnusetts, ard the people are not UNI

shown, however, to special schools. In
addition to an appropriation of $4,000 for
the maintenance of the Georgia School of
Technology, an additional $4,000 was
voted for the erection and equipment of a
textile building, while $4,000 (about half
of the aggregate appropriated by the
State in the pas) was given to the Uni
versity of Georgia.
The $4,000 to the School of Technology
was conditional upon the raising of an
equal amount by the school. The condi-
ton has already been met, $31, 900 having
been subscribed by citizens of the State,
the bulk of that amount being the gift
of James Swami Of this city. In addition
about $1,000 worth of machinery has been
promised.
With the additional funds at it's dispo-
sal the University of Georgia will be able
to make many urgent Improvements, and
to build dormitory and a mess hall.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION.

The South is waking up on the sub
ject of industrial education. This in
dustrial era calls for men trained in
the use of tools as well as in the use
of brains. The State that teaches more
young men in manual training will
lead in industrial activity. The CAPT
tai of every section is dependent upon
the labor. In the Southern agricul-
tIlral districts, cotton must be grown,
as much because the labor is suited to
its production as that the soil is adapt
ed to the growth. The South has been
slow in establishing factories and in
dustrial plants mainly because it has
not had skilled men who were educat-
ed in textile and other industrial
lines. Educate young man to know
how to run a cotton factory, wooden
mill, furniture factory, or the like,
and he will make or find d way for the
erection of such factories. They will
show men of small as well as of large

showing how some OF the Southern
States are waking up to the import
ance of industrial education and max
