Excerpt from The Ceremonies Attending the Unveiling of the Bronze Statue of Zeb; B. Vance, L. L. D., In Capitol Square, Raleigh, N. C: And the Address of Richard H. Battle; L. L. D., August 22, 1900 By the General Assembly of 1899 an Act was passed (Chapter 570) appropriating $5,000 "to be used with a fund in the hands of Joseph G. Brown, Treasurer of the Vance Monument Association, for the purpose of erecting a bronze statue of Z. B. Vance;" and it was further provided that three members, with the President and Treasurer of the Association, should constitute a committee to purchase and erect the statue in the Capitol Square. Richard H. Battle and Joseph G. Brown, of the city of Raleigh, were, respectively, President and Treasurer of the Association; and Dr. Richard H. Speight, Senator from Edgecombe, and Joseph D. Boushall and M. S. Hart, Representatives from Wake and Edgecombe, respectively, were appointed members of the Committee, Mr. Hart died before the statue was finished, and Representative J. C. Curtis, of Buncombe, was appointed in his place. About $2,000 was in the hands of Treasurer Brown, and the Committee invited leading sculptors of the country to submit models of such a statue as was desired, with suitable pedestal, etc., in accordance with elaborate specifications, at a total cost of $7,000. Of a dozen models submitted that of Henry J. Ellicott, of Washington, D. C., was accepted, and the contract awarded to him.
