S.
R. 356, H. R. 419, joint resolution in regard to the death of Dr.
Plummer
Kemp
Battle.
The General Assembly
of North Carolina, having heard with great sorrow

death of Dr. Kemp Plummer Battle, Professor Emeritus of History
and former President of the University of North Carolina, who died at his
home in Chapel Hill on the fourth day of February, 1919, is desirous of expressing its sense of loss which is thus brought to the University and to the
of the
State.
Whereas, for almost three-quarters of a century the life of our State has
been enriched by the example of his unselfish devotion to duty as educator,
statesman, and public official, and
Whereas, after the blighting effects of the Civil War, the State University
was reopened and revitalized largely through his efforts, and under his
leadership as president the foundations were laid for growth and expansion to its present large and useful place in the life of our people, and
Whereas, as teacher, author, and public speaker, Dr. Battle has rendered
invaluable service in the promotion of historical research and the preser-

vation of the historical records of our State, and as a citizen he has exemhighest ideals of a cultured gentleman, and has, in all of his
relations with his fellow-man, displayed the true type of a Christian:
Now, therefore, be it resolved, by the Senate, the House of Representativesconcurring:
That in the death of Dr. Battle the University and the State of North
Carolina have lost a public servant whose career marked him as a teacher
with a genius for inspiring his students, as an adviser of sound judgment, as
a friend of sympathetic nature and of wide and splendid ideals of public
service, whose long and useful life has been devoted unselfishly to the promotion of education, moral uplift, and all things that are helpful in the
betterment of our people; whose life has been an inspiration to the younger
generations that have come under his influence, and whose career should
forever be a shining example to those who shall come hereafter.
Resolved -further, that this resolution be spread upon the Journal of the
Senate and the House of Representatives as a testimony of the high esteem
in which the people of North Carolina held Dr. Battle as a man and their
confidence in him as a public servant, and their admiration of his splendid

life's
work
it further resolved, that a Committee consisting of three members of

the Senate, to be named by the President of the Senate, and five members

Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate Con-
it
curring:
That in the death of Judge Winborne the State of North Carolina has lost
a citizen whose long and useful life had been devoted to the upbuilding of
the best things in the State. As a man he typified the highest type of Christian
gentleman; as a lawyer he stood out as a distinguished leader of his profession; as a judge of the criminal court of his district his actions were
marked by firmness and justice, yet tempered by mercy; and as a legislator
he represented his native county in these halls in the years 1895, 1905 and
1907, and his career here was always characterized by clear, independent and
constructive^thinking, and his services have been of great value to his native
State.
Resolved, further, that this General Assembly express
its deepest sympathy

Judge Winborne and especially to his son, Hon. Stanley
Winborne, who is now an honored member of this General Assembly.
Resolved, further, that a page of the records of this House be set aside upon
which shall be inscribed this resolution, and a copy of the same furnished
to the family of Judge Winborne.

AFTERNOON SESSION
The Houfee meets pursuant
to
recess,
with Mr. Speaker Brummitt pre-
siding.
On motion of Mr. Mintz it is ordered that a message be sent to the

Senate inviting that honorable body to come into the hall of the House
in joint assembly for the purpose of hearing an address by His Excellency
Governor Bickett.
The Sergeant-at-Arms announces the approach of the Senate, and that

its officers comes into the Hall and are assigned seats.
The Sergeant-at-Arms announces His Excellency, Governor Bickett, who
is escorted to the barr of the House and delivers his address as follows:
Gentlemen of the General Assembly: If the General Assembly were not
in session, and some stranger should appear in any county in North Carolina and say, "I see that your county has no good road connecting it with
body preceded by
the surrounding counties. This is a serious disadvantage to the people of

your county, and if you would like to link up with the outside world and
become a part of the system of roads that would connect you with every
other county in North Carolina, I will put up three-fourths of the cost of
such road or roads, if you will put up one-fourth."
I am satisfied that the attitude of any county in North Carolina to such
a proposition would be the same as the attitude of Zeb Vance on a certain
occasion.
The story runs that while Vance was a member of the General
Assembly some member arose one day and said that there was a man in
Raleigh who .proposed to build the Western North Carolina railroad from
Old Fort to Asheville.
Vance immediately rose from his seat and exclaimed:
"Mr. Speaker, I move that we do now adjourn and go out and
catch that man."
It is passing strange that because this identical proposition is made by
the State instead of an individual there is a disposition on the part of some
members from counties who would reap the largest benefits to reject the
is not made to put up all the money instead
This attitude is not unlike that of the pauper who was
being carried to the poor house. A kind-hearted stranger said to the driver
of the wagon, "Why are you carrying this man to the poor house?" Said
the driver, "Because he is so poor that he has not got a bushel of corn."
Said the stranger, "I will give him a bushel of corn." The pauper looked
up and inquired, "Is it shelled?" "No," said the stranger, "it is in the ear."
Said the pauper, "Drive on."
God Almighty will not help a man who refuses to make a reasonable
effort to help himself, and if there be a county in North Carolina so dead
to the desirability of a good road that will link it up with the balance of
proposition because the offer

the State as to be unwilling to pay one-fourth of the cost of such road,

then that county ought to be recommended to the kindly ministrations of
some foreign missionary board.
Gentlemen, I know North Carolina, I have been in every county in it,
and I speak as one having authority when I say there is not a county in
all our borders, not one that will refuse such an offer if the country really
needs the road. If it does not need it, then it would fall outside the scope
and purpose of this legislation. I know North Carolina so well that I am
willing to absolutely guarantee that under the Mull-McCoin bill there will
at once be claims for more money than any highway commission can wisely
and economically expend within the next two years. We cannot afford to
waste money even though we raise one-half of it through taxes paid to the
Federal Government.
North Carolina is in no financial condition to build a statewide system of
roads costing from twenty to forty thousand dollars a mile. We do not
need such a system, and what we do not need is costly at any price. We
need a State system that will link up every county with roads that are
reasonably good. The first duty of the State is to provide a fairly satisfactory road service to all of the people, and when this has been done we
can consider the building of high priced roads. I am unwilling to endorse
any system that will enable a small fraction of our people to glide over

may be here and there a section where there is such a congestion of wealth
and population and such a density of traffic as to justify these high priced,
hard surface roads, but there are not enough of them to be seriously considered in framing a state-wide policy.
If the selection of the commissioners shall be left to the Governor I
want the General Assembly to understand that I shall take pains to select
men in sympathy with these views. I deem it fair to you to say this much
to the end that if you are not in sympathy with these views you may lodge
the appointive power elsewhere.
hope the Governor will not be made a member

be created.
I know nothing about practical
road building, and the members of the commission should be men who can
get right down to brass tacks and see to it that the State gets in labor and
material one hundred cents in value for every dollar expended. I deem it
proper to add that if you shall see fit to clothe the Governor with the
responsibility of appointing the members of the Commission, I shall not
feel under any sort of obligation to name any member of the present Commission.
I shall conscientiously endeavor to find the men who are best
qualified to discharge the duties of the office, and the fact that a man is on
the present commission will not militate either in favor of or against his
appointment.
I say this much to the end that if the General Assembly
does not endorse this attitude the appointive power may be lodged elsewhere.
I
also desire to say that

If it is not to be a permanent plan, then a great injustice will have been

2. Again, no member of this body was sent here on a platform proposition to pile up the bonded indebtedness of this State to many times its
present total. The folks at home are entitled to be heard before we can

for such a course.

It is freely admitted that anything we do will be in the: nature of an
experiment. Defects in any law that we may adopt will doubtless appear.
Mistakes in its administration will doubtless be made. We are entering
an untried field, and I beg you, gentlemen, to adopt a policy that will
render our mistakes as inexpensive as possible.
Let's not make a four
million dollar mistake in the very beginning.
The General Assembly has already made a record for constructive work
of a high order.
It has proceeded along progressive lines, but it has proceeded with sanity and with safety.
It has not been stampeded on any
measure, and I earnestly beg you to round out this record with a reasonable road law suited to the financial condition of the State, guarded from
waste and extravagance, and bottomed on the principle, defensible in any
form of justice and common sense, that from him to whom is given, something shall be required.
