"The death of Governor Aycock's own eldest son, Charles B. Aycock, Jr., in 1901, was perhaps the hardest cross he ever had to bear. The young man was a promising Junior at the University of North Carolina and bore a character which showed that he had observed the injunction with which his father (himself a perfect exemplification of that fine old phrase ("a high man") would always part with him, "Be a tall boy, Son, be a tall boy."
