PAGE THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK Tlie President spoke at the graveyard and again from the balcony of the Yar borough House, and in the evening, there was a notable banquet at the Yarborough House. Andrew Johnson, as ' a lad, was a tailor's apprentice for a very line gentle man by the name of Litchford, the tailor of that day, being a man much looked up to in a small community such as this was ; but a roving disposition took his interest from work and led to a determination to travel. Before going, however, he de cided to show his dislike for the negro cook of the Litchfords, and laying in wait for her as she was entering the house, bearing proudly a choice dinner dish of ham and cabbage, he threw a liberal handful of dirt upon it and fled. A mile outside the city lie joined a com panion who was in waiting for him with his worldly possessions, and struck out for South Carolina with a bundle of clothes tied to the end of a stick, and a small sum of money in his pocket. lie spent a short time in South Carolina and then went to Tennessee. For a while he kept tailor shop, and some of his old bills are still to be seen at Greenville. Tailoring, however, soon ceased to in terest him, and becoming a lawyer, he began to climb fame's ladder, mounting step by step, until he reached the presi dency. Every history tells of this period of his career. l'aleigh saw no more of the boy or the man from the time of his somewhat un ceremonious departure, until he returned as the head of the Nation to do honor to his father's memory ; but he has always been considered one of the city's own, and generation upon generation will unite to perpetuate his memory.
