Clark, Vance and others of the Civil
War time. Since the great struggle
and reverse of the South we have no
shortening of leadership. Conspic-
uous in State and United States have
beer Worth, Vance, Ransom. Jarvis,
Merrimon, Waddell, Turner (Josiah)
and at present Simmons, Aycock,
Glenn, Overman and others.
Taking the popular leaders by them
selves, it seems that Willie Jones,
Reed and Vance have been, perhaps,
most influential in their generation.
Jones organized the masses in the Rev
dictionary epoch and the first Demo-
cratic party just afterward. Governor
Reeds leadership secured free suf-
frage. Governor Vance was the SOL
dier's idol, the bulwark of his people
in all times of storm and stress. He
redeemed the State from the spoils-
man and he lost portion of his eye
sight in his tremendous labors for tax
reform which he secured in the United
States Senate.
Omiting the leaders proper and the
popular favorites in the usual accepta-
ton of those words, there are to be.
named probably at the head of the
list of our very greatest public men in
the order of their appearance, Cor
neIius Harnett, Nathaniel Macon,
William CASTOR, Willie p. Mangum,
George E. Badger, William A. Gra
ham Thomas Bragg. George Davis.
Zebulon Raird Vance and Matthew
