Governor Aycock has planted himself
firmly and immovably upon the bed rock
of Justice, Truth and Good Government.
In the great campaign he is making for
universal education he is rendering his
State service whose beneficial inuence
will live and bless her people when
those who now criticise him will be COM
PEELED to keep silent or join in the uni
versal gratitude and praise which shall
be his rich reward. He is faithfully and
ably redeeming both the spirit and the
letter of the pledges his party made in
1a0G. Then we were engaged in a mighty
struggle fraught with momentous con-
sequences. We were seeking to lay deep
and everlasting the foundations of good
government in North Carolina by limit
ing the use of the ballot to those who
have the intelligence to use it wisely
and will. Tens of thousands of White men
hcsitated to join in with us when the
campaign began. We promised them
they should not be hurt. We said to the
white man who could not read and write,
you may continue to vote because you
have the intelligence by inheritance. We
said to the black man who cannot read
and write, you can't vote because you
have not the intelligence. When thal-
lenged by our adversaries in and out of
the State to give reason why we let
the white man vote who could not read
and write and denied this privilege to
the negro. we answered, the white man
possesses the necessary Intelligence, the
black man does not. Who said It was
because one was g. white man and the
other a negro? No che! We well knew
that would not do. This would have
been setting the Federal Constitution at
defiance; and none of us were prepared
to do that, We placed our defense and
justified our action solely on the
ground of intelligence. The reason given
seemed to satisfy reasonable people and
because they believed we gave the true
reason there has been a general DISPOSE
tion to acquiesce in the result. Were
we honest and truthful when we gave
this reason or were we using this as
pretext to deceive, while in fact and in
truth we were influenced by another

Is such a sentiment growing in North
Carolina? Are there cities and towns
and counties and townships where such
sentiment has taken root and where
it's public schools are part OF the wool
and web of its intellectual and moral
composition? If so, there is growth
of the proper sentiment. l think such
sentiment has taken root in many To-
calities and that it is to some extent
spreading through the State.
IT may be we'll to inquire into the
causes which have promoted this
growth. l may suggest in the first place
that many people in this good State have
been honestly seeking after the truth as
to our condition. The most important
prerequisites for the truth seeker are
humility of mind and honesty of pur-
pose and the courage to follow the path
of duty. Many have been asking them
selves why we are laggards. The young
men and women of this generation have
heard great deal about the natural re-
sources of North Carolina as If natural
resources made great State And at
the same time we have beled this prop
osition by pining for men and capital
from other sections to come in and de-
velop these resources. The truth is that
men and women make a great State, and
not natural resources and that you can
only get these species of men and wo-
men by educating all the children. And
when you educate all the children the
wealth creative faculty is developed, and
instead of inviting men and capital into
our borders, we produce both in our

mary proposition that we love to help

Editor News and Observer: You have
asked me to contribute a brief paper on
the growth Of the sentiment for public
education in North Carolina. Let us in
quire the nature of this educational re-
vival to which you refer. We have al
ways had among US more or less people
in every community who could talk
more or less intelligently about educa-
ton. From the distinguished orator,
who spoke in eloquent phrases at the
commandments OF our University and
colleges, to the men of less reputation,
who spoke at the closing exercises or
our local schools, the beauties of educa-
tioIs have been painted in glowing col
ors. If mere talk could have educated
all of our children and have given us
trained men and women. we should oc-
cupy a different position today among
the forty-fVe commemorative or This
republic. Instead of being about at the
foot of the list in the percentage of il
literates we would have climbed higher
in the scale. Instead of standing among
the laggards in the capacity for creating
wealth, our men and women would lie
among the great producers and making
a greater impress upon the industrial
world. l shall assume that you mean
another kind of educational sentiment.
A sentiment which acts as we'll as talks.
a sentiment deep and abiding down in
the heart and mind of every citizen that
every child must have the benefit of
the training which comes from the school
room, and that no citizen can afford TO
live in any community where every child
cannot attend a school, that these school

There is a distinction between the
ministry of pity and the ministry of
power, says President H. L. Smith, Cf
Davidson College. In the ministry of
pity there is always danger OF OVERRIDING
and so of oll-doing. In providing for the
homeless poor there is danger OF pauper-
izing. But in the ministry of power to
which education belongs, there can be
no such danger, since an education it
self can never be given to any child, but
only the opportunity of an education.

COFFEE

has its charms. We've always claim ed that coffee was not only bracer in the morning, but it also had other virtues which we felt little timid in making known. Now we refer you to last Sundays New York Herald, page five, column two; there you will read where a lady one night dreamt that Martinique was being totally destroy ed by volcanic eruption and that thou sands upon thousands of human lives were being lost She then awoke and in the morning informed her husband she must go back to America and gave him her reason. 'sBosh," said the hus- band, tits the COFFEE you've been drinking." She admitted that, but she was bound on going home. She can now thank her stars, for the dream came true and thousands upon thousands have been called to their last home. Now. the terrible catas- trophe which has taken place is cer- tainly an event which is appalling. But this lady having this particular dream, which unfortunately came true, and she laying it to drinking coffee. arouses our curiosity regarding coffee If it's true that coffee was the cause of her finding out what events were to take place we suggest that every one should drink coffee so that you can tell what's going to happen in the near future The kind we sell will make you dream because we have dreams ourselves once in a while and invariably we strike the nail on the head. Our coffees are always fresh roasted. our teas are new season and our 27-cent butter Is the nice new made kind; look at our specials with one pound of baking powder
