The complaint then let out in
detail the circumstances under

was made with the plaintiff and this
paragraeh of the complaint makes
decidedly interesting reading. Thil

The comoloint then soe on tosav
that the plaintiff did fulfil his part

Henderson, who must bavo been one tcur is visiting in town,
of the richest characters in tlie world. Mr YV II Watkius Jrof Greens
A diitinguished gentleman, who was . loro spent the latter part oi last
contemporary, savs of hint: "Uol
Bill Henderson was the rarest m:iu
that ever lived." A few anecdotes
will prove this assertion, and will
make manifest what manner of
man be was. At a sitting of couit
year ago an old man named Joe
Gordon wa being tried for stealing
a sheep, a wa his son also. The
two had been caught red handed, the
old man holding a torch while his
son cut off the sheep's head. It
when thev committed the theft. Old
man Gordon was aged and decrepit
and very poor, nearly at the end of
hi earthly pilgrimage. Uol Mill
wa a lawyer after a fashion and al
though not connected with the case
at all, he wa in court and hud
beard tbe case tried. When the time
arrived for the lawyers to make their
spiels, a bunch of them thought to
have some fun and prevailed upon
tbe solicitor to let Col Henderson
make the speech for the State. Now,
the colonel wa easily flattered ami
his consent to speak was very readily
given. This is what he said: "Gentle
men of the nirv! Here s old Joe
Gordon, eighty years old, with one
foot in the grave and ready to go to
fait long account, caught at midnight
holding a torch so his sou could see
how to cut off a sheep's head. I um
surprised, gentlemen of the jury,
that they were not more cautious!"
And that was his speech for the .State
Col. Henderson's most magnifi
cent effort, however, one that is im
mortal and not to be surpassed al all
by anybody, was his oratiou on the
"Northern White Man." delivered
from his front piazza herein Lexing
ton on the night of the - fourth of
July, 18(i8. The Colonel was very
patriotic, and on all fomth or Julys
appeared in public with a United
States flag thirty or forty feet long.
On this particular occasion, after
participating in the exercises of the
day, he had retired to his mansion,
when all the negroes of the place
gathered in front of his house. He
came out and addressed them thus:
"My Colored Friends: Before we
part tonight, 1 want to tell you about
tbe Northern white man and the
Southern white man. 1 wilt tell you
about the Northern white muii first.
When Christopher Columbus dis
covered America and landed on I he
Plymoth Rock, whut did he do? He
proclaimed liberty and union, now
forever, one inul inseparable, with
respect to race, color or previous
conditions of servitude. At the very
same time, the Southern white man
landed down here on Jeem s River
in old Virginia, and what did he do?
He adopted this motto: "sic semper
tyraunia, the white man's heel on
the nigger neck in the brilliu sun.
bid you good night.
Those whose inclinations ran thut
way used to have a deliating chili
here and met once each week, to
discus the topics of the day. One
night North Carolina figured in the
question under consideration, and
Col. Haudersou favored the club
with a speech, in which be likened
thia grand old State to a locomotive.
Said he, with arms extended dramat
ically, "Mr. President, presently ye
ill see North Uarolnni a heavin tii
blowiu' and torectly she will begin
puffin' and a-rollin' along and then
we will see her goiu' forward on a
wave of prosperity with the rose of
heaven on her cheeks und the fire of
liberty in her eyes!" On the follow
ing day the Colonel was accosted on
tbe street by a friend who had heard
bim and was asked: "Lol. Uill, del
not you get your figures slightly
mixed last night? Now, I know
that by the fire of liberty in hr eve
you had reference to a headlight.
but when did you ever see roses on a
steam engine's checks?"
See here calling his friends
name "See here, Bill Henderson's
got lot more sense than people give
bim credit for: and irrevelant as
hi answer was, it was the only one
he ever made in regard to the rose
of heaven on the velvety cheeks of a
locomotive.
Colonel Henderson wus a com
manding figure in politics and
ran once for Congress, stumping
he entire district with his opponent.
One day he opened bis remarks
like this. "Fellow citizens! I am
glad to be here today to assist in
burying tbe Democratic party that
baa been dead eight years hence.

TAR HEEL CROWDS EASY. I
Soft Mark for Pickpockets.
$10,000 Said to Have Been
Stolen During Recent Fair
Week at Raleigh.
Correspondence of the Observer.
Raleigh, Nov, 3 People never
will cease talking about tbe visit of
President Roosevelt to Raleigh, and
amidst all the aeriou event there
were aome very funny one. Almost
every odd-looking man wa pointed
out a a detective, but theives who
were here seemed to know these men
very well. These "grafter" had
leaden, extra sharp-eyed fellow,
who certainly were keen in spotting
the detective. One grafter stole a
pair of hand-cuffs which were the
private property of one of the plain
clothe men whom Raleigh had
brought here to keep dow stealing.
North Carolina crowd seems to be
regarded as a soft mark by the pick
pocket, and well they may be.
There ought to be a protest about
allowing any gambling game of any
kind in any fair ground.
Tbe wiiter beleive that at least
$10,000 was stolen here during fair
wetk, and a lot of it from people
not able so stand the loss. Some
people have their pockets Dicked and
others do not. The writer thought
be would have some fun at the ex
pense of the thievel and so put in a
half-dozen pocket money issued by
whut used to be known a "wild cat '
banks in South Carolina, Mississippi
Georgia and tome other states, and
went through the main push at the
grounds, but not a single pocket wa
picked, though once the money wa
exhibited and made quite a good ap
pearance. Cue man, a Confederate
veteran who makes it a rule always
to carry several hundred dollars of
Confederate money in hi purse, was
robbed. Mr Dan Hugh McLean'
pocket book wa taken, containing
absolutely valueless papers, it being
the third state fair at which thia
same book ho been stolen. A day
or two ago it came back to him, a
man having found it beside the rail
road track.
One thing is very certain, and
that is that the low order of amuse
ments ot the various fairs have in
jured North Carolina's morals.
I he wnter has taken occasion to go
into these shows and baa beard peo
ple of both sexes speak of them in a
wmv to show that thev have had a
demoralizing effect. Debasing shows
and any kind of gambling games
have no place at a fair, where the
public is supposed to gather to see
better things and be protectee from
pillage. Something will certainly
have to be done. The class of people
comiug here from the North it
the vilest, as any of you can see at
a glance, nearly every one a theif or
a friend of a thief, and they stand
together ic everything this being
really the only good trait among
them.

I have pleaded before this, through
the column of your masculine pa
per for the preservation of placet of
natural beutv, wooded gleus, original
growth of fine old trees and along to.
1 risk fatiguing tbe patience of
your reudei by a further word in
favor of our birds, which all admire
for reasons abundant and arid.
The interregnum betwixt shucks
and grass put these sweet throated
denizens of their republic to their
trumps and tricks for a diet promo
tive of health and song. 1 counted
this morning twelve mocking bird
feeding on the berries poke. Tbey
will eat this fruit down to the atom
and pay n-ut iu heaven-born clarions.
1 would have everv poke buab in
our fields spared.
We owe some sweet reflections to
these beauties. I think the "rever
berations of noble souls" often find
their fountain in these bird songs.
"White s Natural Hitory of eel-
borne" is u classic. In it he goes
afield and speaks out the meaning
of bird words and sings,
"He serveth best who loveth best
All things both great and small."

whiskey.

dents on the sea, eighty-seven per
cent of the offender sent to the
houce of correction, 55 1-2 per cent
