THE SOLDIERS GOVERNOR.

With pleasure l give you my estimate
of Governor Vance: and of his most con
spicuous service to the State" 1t was my
privilege to be brought into the closest
personal relations with him during his
term of office as Governor When he
first went into office he asked the Legis-
lature for confidential clerk, which they
granted him. Mr.. G. M. Busbee, filled
this position for short time, and then
went to the army. l next filled the posi-
tion, having been three times rejected
by the authorities for active field service,
on account of an injury to my knee from
which / have not yet entirely recovered.
l was with him during his term of of
fee and issued, as his private secretary,
his last Proclamation" In April, 1865,
from Greensboro, N. c.
l regard him as the greatest all round
man the State has ever produced; he
was called into public service at a time
that tried mems souls" There were
many and great calls made upon him, all
of which he answered we'll and wisely.
He was pre- erninently the Soldier S
Governor" ever jealous for their comfort
and welfare-having himself experienced
the hardships of a soldiers life.
No estimate can be made of the comfort
and protection that was given cur soldiers
by the blankets and heavy English cloth
that he had imported for clothing.
He was as brave q man as ever lived
not brute coura ge-but the higher order
Of moral courage-he did not fear the face
of man.
OF him it can be truly said:
"Tlis was a combination and a form,
indeed
Where every god did seem to set his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man. y

The man I knew was Senator Vance.
s'Zeb Vance" is another story. Men that
grew up with him must try to tell this
story. 1t is doubtful If it will ever be
told. Men of Vance's mould may be
better thought of than told Of Mr.. Rich
ard Battle, it seems to me, can come
nearer telling it than any one l know
Of.
It may be possible that the chief
strength of Vance lay in the focalization
within himself of the average tendency
of his people. If he was not entirely
great in any one act, his life was en-
tirely great He must not be judged by
any one act He must be taken as
whole. He was North Carolina in the
flesh, in somewhat of the sense that the
Iliad was the deep long breath CT
Greece. He was honest. He loved his
people. Upon these two foundations, it
seems to me, rests the arch OF his career.
The magnetism of most magnetic men
issues from the intellectual activities; the
magnetism of almost none issues from
the mind and heart in combinations; that
Of Vance came straight and almost Who'll
ly from the heart.
One cannot bring him back in print
any more than can wave be brought
back in the painting. The memory only
may tell us of the grace and moving
sparkle, of the swell upon which men
were lifted and the fathomless undertow.
of the ebb and flow of the troughs and
crests of his career, of the triumphant
toss of his tumultuous days, of the
quiescent CLEAN and calm when the sun
was low and splendid, of the aggregate
music and power of his life as his great
soul went beating up against the other
shore-with sigh as of deep waters for
those he was leaving and loving still

THE RIENzI OF his STATE.

The estimation in which Vance was
held by the people of North Carolina, ap-
plies to no other North Carolinian, living
or dead. within my knowledge. He was,
par excellence, the tribune of the people
the Rienzi of his State. While in some
politicaI views l differed from him (be-
cause l must always answer to my own
conseience) yet his love OF truth, and
standing four square for what he thought
was right and for the best interests OF
his people, commanded my most profound
respect, and was monumental Let the
stone he unveiled as a symbol of his i'm
mortality.

A STATEsMAN.FIRsT.

Senator Vance'A highest attainments
were in the realm of craftsmanship,
where he will rank first among those pro-
duced by North Carolina for one, and,
perhaps, two generations. His greatest
work was the building of character
which will stand for all time as an ex-
ample of unselfish devotion to the people
and spotless integrity in public service.

to their blood boil. And true prophet that
he was, when he took up his pen to write,
he could but tell of the vision that was
before him.
And Fond Father had always said that
no book which in any way reflected upon
the Southland should have a place in his
library! Never! And it never did. This
book was for his boys library
And Boy-well. Boys brain-box would
have done credit to a Boston Museum.
In one corner the Boston Tea Party
was always in progress, for Boy had never
heard what happened to the tea that went
to Wilmington and Charleston. And Just
opposite stood Israel Putnam on pedes-
tal-just where Fond Fother imagined he
had seen Sumter and Marion and Light
Horse Harry Lee. And there was a scroll
that told of the first blood OF the Revou-
ton shed at Lexington, and not a line of
the first blood OF the Revolution that was
shed several years before at Alamance,
North Carolina. And there was the Meek
lenburg Declaration Of Independence made
year before the Declaration at PhiIa-
delphia, and across it the boy had scrawl-
ed the legend, yer can't come this over
me-" And in the middle Of this self same
brain-box stool Abraham Lincoln. ON a
pedestal that had been used for George
Washington. And at his side, on a horse
that Fond Father thought was Travel
ler," sat Ulysses S. Grant. 1t was a mu-
scum from Boston-was Boys brain box.
dozen years ago Boys father could
not have helped himself. Not much. He
could have taken Boy from school, but
there were no better Histories-not in
school. But something has happened
since then, and Boys father has helped
himself.
Leading Scutherners, realizing that
Southern school boys we're growing up
with sneaking suspicion that their faith
ers were traitors. waited upon the Presi
ident of the B. F. Johnson Publishing
Company, OF Richmond Va. and asked
If something could not be done. Mr.
Johnson, who had already grasped the
situation. said: Something shall be
done"
And it has been done. Today there is
whole series of text books in which the
honor of the South has been as jealousy
guarded as the honor of the North There
isn't an unfair word in them. There isn't
a scornful fling in them. There isn't
bit OF poison in them. There's nothing
but the truth in them.
M
And Boy is studying Lees History. Tho
other night at the supper table he looked
up suddenly from brown study and said:
Papa, femme tell yer; General Lees
my hero"

UNBLEMIsHED CHARACTER.

North Carolina never produced a great
er man. His most conspicuous and ex-
allied characteristic was his unblemish-
ed personal and official integrity. His
administration as Governor during the
slavery period where his whole soul was
aire in this interest of his country and
love for his people, stands out today as his
zenith OF greatness.
