North Cardinals Colony here is
larger, compared as to area and popu
laton, than that of any other Southern
State. New York Commercial.
North Carolina has a large number of
men in New York and many of them
are winning success and making names
| for themselves. Among those from this
| State who have become most prominent
| in the legal profession in Americas
| greatest city, one recalls first the name
! of James w. Osborne. He has for a
| number of years been recognized as one
| of the greatest criminal lawyers in the
country. 1t is said that, as Assistant
| District Attorney, his name is always
| first considered when a great murder
case comes up for trial. Another AS
| sistant District Attorney is James Cor
don Battle. He is said to be devoting
himself especially to the study of Grim
| inal law. He is of the excellent Battle
| family of this State. Three other North
| Carolnians who are reported as firm
| in the profession of law are Ralph Hol-
| land John S. Hill and w. w. Fuller
| Fuller is the general counsel of the
| American Tobacco Company, one of the
| giant concerns of the United States.
North Carolina has contributed much to
the profession of journalism in New
York. Walter H. Page stands at the
head of the list, perhaps. He has been
editor of the Forum and the Atlantic
| Monthly, which was once run by such
| literary lights as Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Mr.. Page is of the firm of Doubleday,
Page & Company, Publishers, and is also
editor of Worlds Work, one of the
strongest of magazines. Among other
journalists who have made places for
| themselves are David f. st. Clair and
Henry T. Sharpe. Mr.. st. Clair writes
for Success. a most useful, interesting
and widely circulated magazine. He has
written a book for Success Library and
was recently given a trip abroad in it's
interest. Sharpe is one of the reporters
on that brightest of bright sheets, the
Sun. Ralph H. Graves, a son of the
mathematical genius, the lamented Pro-
fessor Graves, of the University, is also
another talented North Carolnian who
is on the staff of the Herald. North
Carolina is not without it's able represen-
tatives in the New York pulpit There
are number of them, but only two are
recalled just now-Rev. st. Clair Hester
and Rev. A. c. Dixon. Mr.. Hester is
rector of one of the handsomest churches
in Brooklyn and Mr. Dixon breaches to
one of the largest Baptist congregations
in Brooklyn. Mr.. Dixon is a very able
and popular divine. There are also
dozens of North Carolinians in New York
City who are succeeding as scientists, as
railroad men and as professors in col
leges. Among the professors is E. B.
McGilvary, who fills the chair of phloso-
ply in Cornell. He came of good old
Moore county stock. There are also
North Carolinians who play successfully
with the Wall Street markets. But why
go on naming the men who have risen
to the front and who are rising in that
city? Their name is almost legion. One
sometimes regrets that these busy work
ers are not back here in North Carolina
but had they remained here they would
| nave, perhaps, amounted to nothing. 1t
lisa matter of pride to North Carolinians
to know that all OF those named above
| received their educational training in
this State. They are the children of the
University, Davidson, Wake Forest and
| Trinity, most of them claiming the Uni
| verSity as their Alma Mater.
