close to the heart grieved by the tears i shed night after night 1 mouraeu our piteous case while black's large tongue licked my tear stained face poor black ! i think of him so often still ! at first

recently published in regard t eni igrat.on from north carolina by white men and the comments upon it bv other state papers offers a tempting op portunity for some one to speak the pram naked truth about the character istics of our people in these charac - leristics the whole philosophy of the subject is to be found the mere fact of emigration signifies nothing that is common to every state in the union the american people are a restless mi gratory population but the causes of emigration are very different in differ ent localities a new englander seeks other regions because agriculture is impossible at home and the other in dustries are ovei crowded and so it is in most of the other northern states he goes because there is too much life and too much competition at home to ! m ike success easily attainable in the ordinary pursuits open to him but a north carolina emigrant abandons a s.are whose natural advantages are al most uiiparralleled — whose resources uiou^h practically limitless are unde veloped after an occupancy of the land oy an rjiiginli speaking people for two hundred 3 ears whose climate is abso lutely the best in the world and whose population through comparativ ly sparse la a ge enough to make a great and ' pio-perous commonwealth elimna ting tiie element of mere adventure winch is common to all american com ; inuni.i s why haveso many no.th car ihiui.iiis in tiie past sought their for tunes eleswiiare and why are so many voting men leaving und preparing to leave the state now it certainly is not for any lack of natural advan tages for accumuliating a competen cy or even great wealth it is not due to unjust or unequal laws whicn favor cbsae corp rations or individuals or hamper thesp.rit of enterprise it con not be because of unfaithful or corrupt administration for there has bee.i none and no state has or ever had..a better constitution or la\v or has been freer from the vices of modern civilization so called than she why then is it that there is and has been such a widespread feeling that tliere is little or no pro-pect of advance ment here and that " north k ilina is a good state to move from it seems to me that the answer to this question presents a subject worthy of greater consideration than it has ever received and one which demands frank and fear u-ss treatment at the hands of those who discuss it l.»t the people of north carolina as a community are lacking in self-re spect 1 do not say state-pride for tnat term miy be misapplied i use the phrase that conveys my meaning the best possible evidence of the truth of this ass rtio.i lies in the noto rious fact that the state has command ed and received less respect and consid eration from the general government and from her sister states than any other certainly less than any of the original thirteen why a more kindly hosp table g.^ik-ro is self-sacri tieiug people — a better people in the right sense do nor in my judgment inhabit the earth but they make no sign they havj never even claim ed that which was theirs their state seal would have perfectly represented their civaliz ition if be.ieath the two women-one of whom is sitting down and the other leaning on a cornecopia and pointing to a becalmed sailboat — there ha.i been inscribed the words ltismez fairer no well-informed and candid person will deny this lint this carelessness and indifference ' to our reputation as a community which has resulted in our being com pelled to see the most honorable facts in our history ignored or denied and discredited and our state referred to as . the only one in the world that is abso j lutely without memorials is not the j sole peculiarity that bus served as an obstruction to development and pro gress we are and always have been a house d.vided against itself local pre judges and jealousies almost universal ly prevail and united effort for the ad vancement of the common weal has rarely occurred in our civil history there has been no systematic legisla riou on the questions of most vital ira portance to me peop e and the fear of conceding undue prominence to any oue locality has always been a marked fea ture ot our industrial commercial and political life one of the best illustra tions of this may be found in the his tory 3 of internal improvements in the state in many of our ideas and prac tice we ave narruw ind provincial but at the same time much jefiven to the hjiit of preferring foreign products whether of brain or brawn to our own taken individually we are apt to be in tensely loyal north carolinians taken collectively we exhibit no such spirit s«i firm is our belief in the principle of equility among men that we incline to n-ar.l the display of unusual capac ity ambition or as a rather unfair sort of tiling which is not to be encouraged but if it will assert itself and in a way to reflect credit on the community it is tolented and even applauded but it co st utes no peculiar claim to consid er ij .. we do not regard the fact thyt we are k behind the age as a mat ter of raproich at all on the contrary we felicate ourselves on the ranquility o our surroundings we bo:i-it of oii l o.ie cinug namely our modesty bur of that we are very proud and are con tent to off r it as a sufficient answer to any unfavorable criticism upon our selves or our civilization we really lux ur.ite as a people in the virtue ovself abnegatio.i now this serene condition of affairs unreasonable as discontent with il may appear to be has not that attractive ness f.»r a young m in of ordinary am bition

tolerably close together ami made them include the the whole tattoo mark then 1 tired up on them and cooked that device thor oughly next day i wiped the d«»ice utt with my hand the place quickly healed and left no scar a faint blu ish tint remained and i was minded to begin again and cook that out but us it was hardly detectable and no ticeable it did not seem worth the fuel and so i there and there it is yet though 1 am the only member of my tribe that knows it 1 vas in london a good many years ago when the tichbwne claimant's case was being tried and experts testified that an india
