For State Pride.

Why am thankful? Well-Omit-

Thanksgiving-I am thankful because
North Carolina is beginning to assert
herself. It's all very we'll to talk
about a State being modest and u
motto "to be rather than to seem to
be" sounds we'll. but commend me to
the mar or nation that not c2ly is,
but lets the world know it.
am thankful because North Car
DINA has a larger population than
Virginia; because among the South
crn States she leads in good roads and
in education; because her officials are
so diligent in serving the people and
in maintaining State pride. Fol- the
literary revival in II State, [ am
thankful and for the Upright young
men" on our daily and weekly papers.
That The state has produced one other
great biographcr. Edwin Mims-as
shown in sidney Lanier," is a cause
of rejoicing.
1 am specially thankful for 'FThe
Leopard Spots" and "The C~lansnnan,'
though [ am not thankful that MI.
Dixon finds it necessary or desirable to
have them played in the South. We
know all about it any way. and are
rcd-hot anyhow. In conclusion. /
am thankful for more State pride and
for the two monuments which our

there is for our heartfelt thanksgiving
to that 'Divinity that shapes our

cedented uprising of the people all
over North Carolina in behalf of the
enlightenment of their postcrity.
While there should be no abatement
of our gratitude for the peace. the
cont"ntment, the health and the ma
terial prosperity Which we see on
every hand. that movement which will
gam in strength as the successive gen.
"rations of the people witness the
