IT was at tbe fall elections that tbe
fend began In Pottersvllle. John
Grant, tbe village btackamlth, a
big, raw boned fellow of enormous
muscle, whose family bad hailed from
Nova Scotia, bad dared to oppose
Judge Weaver, candidate for the legis
lature From the Judge'a point of view
the worst feature of this presumptu
ous antagonism was Its success. Judge
Weaver bad been defeated by tbe nar
row margin of one vote, and bltterneaa
was ever thereafter to rankle lu his
heart.
Another source of rexatiou for tbe
Judge was tbe attachment which he
could not fall to see ealsted between
bis daughter Nellie, a girl of pretty
face, medium height, plump person

and many suitors, on the one hand and
Wlllla Wenbam. son of the first aelect
tnan. who was In the midst of his
conrse at one of the big eastern unl
rersltiee.
Selectman Wenham was another of
Judge Weaver's political opponents;
but. though the Judge never targave
one who crossed his will, this was not
tbe reason for his opposing the match
between his daughter Nellie and the
selectman's son Willis. The Judge was
a man of means, while Selectman
Wenham. though '(Wwwcssed of a mod
erate competency, could leave but a
small slim at his demise to each of
his numerous family, of which Willis
composed exactly one thirteenth.
With young Wenham absent at col
lege. the Judge was able to give his
undivided attention to tbe village
blacksmith. He was willing to bide
bla time, for he knew John Grant to
be one of those men who with unfail
ing regularity get themselves into a
lieastly state of Intoxication Just once
every twelve months. For a full week
It was tbfe blacksmith's custom to
wrestle with John Barleycorn, quite
willing to be overcome.
The only article In the warrant for
the last town* meeting over which
there bad not Iteen more or less con
test was that which called for the
erection of a towu lockup. It was gen
erally conceded that Pottersvllle bad
reached that stage In a town's progress
where a Jail Is demanded for the pres
ervation of peace and order. An out
sider might have objected tbat there
bad been no arrest made In tbe little
village excepting of boys on truancy
charges since tbe convening vt the Isst
town meeting, but this would have
twen regarded as a Machiavellian at
tempt at Impeding tbe wheels of
progress. Ho the new structure had
risen triumphantly, with not so much
, ag a- hint of graft, under tbe super
vision of tbe selectmen, and. although
tbe suggestion of building bad come
from tbe rnotitb of Judge Weaver, none
aang the praise of conception and exe
cution more loudly than tbe village
blacksmith. 1
It was at tbe fall elections, as we
have said, tbat the feud atarted be
tween John Grant and Judge Weaver.
It waa not uutli the approach of tbe
following spring tbat tbe latter found
tbe sofcgbt for chance Co "get back" at
the smith. One morning in early Feb
ruary tbe blacksmith failed to abow up
at bla place of business. A line of alx
or msre Impatient testasters set out
to look up the reason. At Henry
Come'a hostelry, known ss tbe Come
Inn, tbey found it. Red eyed and
maudlin, mostly oblivious to tbe cares
> of this world, yet occaaionally burst
teg luto tears and hiccoughs as he ex
postulated against "the bard fate thai
faatf carried an nncle of his away m
the wrong side of a log drive thirty
.'-years before, was the village black
smith, leaning for sympathy and sup
port against tbe rose colored, reeklaf
bar 'over which tbe liquors of tht
Come Ibn were serted.

therefor as provided and laid down IV
the statutes of the state. Judge Wear-1
er forced the unwilling constables, aft-|
er considerable goading, to action. The j
blacksmith, snoring In slumber, was
. dragged out of the woods mid cast Into 1
the new lockup. On the following 1
morning be bad sobered up sufficiently
to appear before tbe court, which In
Pottersvllle meant Judge Weaver.
Two of tbe constables swore to bar
ing seen John Grant very drunk and
disorderly at the Come Inn. There
was no defense. The blacksmith even
pleaded guilty with a certain amount
•f elation. Apparently tbe one uncom
fortable feature of the affair to him
was the long and maliciously worded
harangue which, behind the dignity of
tbe law, Judge Weaver delivered to
the prisoner, closing by sentencing blrn
to alxty days in Potteravllle Jail and
fining him 96.70 coats
There waa a beatific smile on the
highly colored face of tbe priaouer as
he was led off to the lockup, closely
guarded by quite unnecessary consta
bles, after offering to work out the
fine by shoeing the yoke of oxen kept
to aid the paupers In their work on the
town farm. The proffer had been re
fused with a great show of dignity.
It would hare required no great ef
fort for the burly prlaoner to tear down
the bars which covered the windows
of the Jail and which were rather more
for decoration than for anything else,
but other thoughts were In his mind.
He was. for the first time In his life, a
prisoner. It was the duty of the town
to which he had paid poll and property
taxes for more years than he could
really remember to provide him with
tied and board The experience was
not only norel, but also distinctly
pleasing, resting him with a sense of
new lm|K>rtunce.
It was easier than working, this Jail
life, and after the week In the
well warmed lockup he liegau to look
forward with regret to the time when
he must leave It.
With the passing of the first fort
night of the sixty (lays' confinement
this state of affairs, however, began to
pall ou him. He found that a vacation
may be of too long duration. He be
gan to pine for work. Furthermore,
bis pride was seriously affected. Ou
twoor three occasions Jailer Gibson on
leaving the lockup after bringing In
the blacksmith's supper had forgotten
to lock the door after him. Tbe pris
oner remonstrated in forcible language
at this Inattention to duty.
"I'm goin' to lie locked up nights
hereafter, Jim Gibson," he said, knit
ting the red skin of his forehead Into
a mass of frowning wrinkles, "an' I
want you to understan' It. Think of
me atayln' In Jail without beln' locked
up: Ain't,l got a right to tie locked
np? M
"I'll put a spring lock on the door
tomorrow, John, an' then if I go away
an' forget to lock the door you can
close it an' lock It any time you want.''
"Well. Jim. all I ask s to be locked
up like 1 onght to be," answered the
mollllied prisoner. "That's all I ask."
"Yes. an' I'll do more than that."
continued the constable. "I'll hare
that lock so'a you can open It from the
Inside with a nail, Nobody but us
need know, an' you can step outside
any time yon-want to. I'm doin' this,"
he went on hastily, " 'cause t don't
want you to get sick while you're In
my charge. Prisoners get all the ex
ercise tbej* want In ev'ry well regu
lated Jail, an' I ain't goln' to have no
one say the Pottersvllle Jail's bebin'
the times."
"No, nor I nutber!" agreed tbe black
smith heartily. "Have noire tobacco,
Jim?"
Jailer Gibson look a pipeful of the
contents of the blue and tinsel pack
age extended to him, and, rolling It in
the palm of his hand, sat down to have
a further chat with the prlaoner.
"See here. .fshn," he began, "the
boys arotin' Pottersvllle are gettin'
mighty hard up f'r a horseshoer. They
don't want to go out of town fr one
thing. 'Sides, they couldn't get nobody
nearer nor Spencer, an' that's moat
forty mile away. We're been a-talkln'
It over at the grocery store, an' we de
cided to ask you If you wouldn't like
to do a little work here. We could fix
up a place where you could do aboelu'
real slick."
"I don't kuow's I'd object to It, Jim,"
deliberated tbe blacksmith, "providlu'
the boys didn't think 'twas lettln* ma
down on my sixty days."
"No one would think that, John," In
terpolated tbe constable. "Why.'twouid
be Just a favor to you. If you'd do It.
It'a mighty allpp'ry on the roads, an'
It'a hard on tbe horaea' feet. There'a
in or en fifty on 'em need aharpenln'.
'Twould be Just a stroke of common
humanity on your part. John, If you'd
do It."
"Well, you go ahead an' fix the things
up," agreed the priaouer, "an* I reckon
'twill be all right."
The next day a portable forge waa
obtained, and a huge pair of bellows
act up. The smith donned his apron
and did a rattling business. On the
day following he shod Judge Weaver's
trotting horse Ifelleck, 2:18, who bad
earned his record at tbe county fair
the previous year. Tbe blacksmith al
so shod the yoke of oxen from the
town farm. For a week be was roroed
to turn away trade dally and even be
gan to talk of hiring au aaalstant.

WILLIAMSTON, N. C„ FRIDAY, NOVEMBER t. 1907
Nellie Weaver once more became a
•ource of annoyauce to the Judge.
Sympathy In Pottersvllle, as It ia apt
to be In any town, was with the young
people In some way It got rumored
•round the town that Nellie's life at
home was made none of the pleaaant
est by her father. Further comment
was aroused when the postmaster gave
out that Mlrs Nellie bad returned oue
of Wrangle's (the wealthy summer vis
itor's! letters unopened. The Incident
showed a further progress In tbe stand
takeu by the energetic young lady
against the plau of her father to mar
ry ber to the aforesaid Wrangle in
stead of to young Wenluim.
The crisis was reached early in April.
There had been an Ice storm during
the night, making the roads aa slip
pery as glaaa. Unfortunate Indeed waa
the horse that with unabarpened sboea
bad to venture on litem. Trade waa
brisk at tbe Improvised blacksmith
ahop, and Johu Grant bad all the work
he could bundle. Judge Weaver's trot
ter Kelleck was late In getting Into
line, so that it was uearly nightfall,
with, a bitter wind blowing from tbe
northeast, wheu the prisoner black
smith at last stripped Kelleck of his
shoes and commenced wttb his usual
expedition tbe task of rvsboelng.
Three shoes had been nailed to Kel
leck's prancing hoofs wheu au excla
mation froui the Judge drew the atten
tion of tbe waiters and loafers to a
couple dashing by at high speed in a
familiar sleigh. They were Willis
Weuhaiu uud Judge Wearer's daugh
ter Nellie. As they turned up the road
where, two and a half miles, distant,
the bouse of tbe minister was situate,
it dawued on the coinpauy that they
were witnesses of an elopement.
There was ample time for the angry
Judge to overtake the couple, provided
John Grant drove the nails of the
fourth shoe with his customary quick
ness. The Judge commanded him to
hurry. Instead of dolug so be laid
tbe shoe down aud said that, as he
was a prisoner, working only to oblige
folks, he'd be banged If he'd do anoth
er tap of work for a man so low down
as to swear at him. The Judge plead
ed and apologized iu rain. It was only
when the young couple returned and
rendered Judge Weaver speechless
with rage by the announcement of
their marriage that John Grant would
consent to put on the other shoe.
The very next day came an April
thaw. Tbe traveling was so bad that
the prisoner's only visitor was Jailer
Gibson, wbo brought him his meals.
In the night when the blacksmith re
tired the rain was pouring outside in a
monotonous drizzle. The Pottersville
Jail was situated on the hank of a
small but deep river, and the water* of
this stream were yellow ed and swollen
by the freshet.
" Id the early hours of the luoruing
tbel*e was a slide and a fall aud a
spiral) Over Into tbe rlrer wont a
action of hanking, the Pottersrllle
Jail and the prisoner therein. The
structure did not float far, but ground
ed on tbe sheiring shore opposite tbe
blacksmith shop where Joljn Grant
had practiced bis trade prior to his
latest departure from the narrow path
of sobriety. I»An John Grant forced

open the conveniently arranged door
It occurred to him that at midnight the
sixtieth day of bis imprisonment bad
been completed. His face wore a -sat-
Isfled smile.
His equanimity was undisturbed the
next morning when Judge Weaver
drove over, furiously accusing him of
stealing tbe Jail and demanding that
be remap It to the place he bad taken
It from. The easy grin ou the features
of the blacksmith grew to broader di
mensions.
"I whipped you at 'lection. Judge,"
be drawled slowly, "au' you sent me to
that place," Indicating tbe floating Jail,
'"when you had your turn. Then I
wouldn't put tbe shoe- ou your berse
so'a .you could atop your daughter's
inarrylu" young Wenbam. Now you
say I stole tbe Jail. Judge. It's this
way. I've got a chance to sue tbe
town of Pottersvllle fr false Imprison
ment. I ought to have been let out o'
Jail at 12 o'clock last nlgbt. More'n
that, the Jail's mine!" t

The Patchwork Quilt 1
(Published by Request)
The autumn winds were blowing cold,
The summer's bloom was o'er,
When Mr. Trott, infirm and old.
Entered his cottage door.
With feeble step and wistful 100 lc }
Trembling with cold and age,
He tottered to the chimney's nook.
But beard a voice of rage,
"1 hate this mean old elbow chair,
Forever in my way!
Say 1 do you think that I will bear
Ts have i, here all day?"
The aged man with tears replied,
"My work on earth is done;
Yet, since my presence vou despise,
Whert shall I go, my eon?"
"You need not ask," said Asa Trott;
"The'poorhouse is iu view.
Before this time you should have thought
It was the place for you "
My little reader, think of that 1
Poor graudpa said no more,
But, taking up his tattered bat.
He stsggered to the door.
Beneath a naked apple-tree,
Whose autumn-leaves were shed.
He sat him down, and on his knee
Reclined his aching head.
But soon he heard a pleasant sound,
And little Tommy said:
"Why sits mv grandpa on the ground.
Ami what does ail his head'"
"Alas' my boy, I have no more
A place to call my own;
Aud I must join the pauper |*>or,
Supported by the town.
But 1 am veryeold, my dear;
My strength is almost gone.
1 must uot stay and perish here;
That would be doing wrong.
"Goto my chamber, little sou,
(I take it without guilt,
I'or oy my wife those seauiv were run,)
And bring my patchwork quilt."
With swelling heart poor Tommy ran,
Determined now la know
If his own father Was the man
Who treated grandpa so.
Now Asa, in a sullen mood,
Was posting books that day;
And Tommy aaid: "Tis very rude' ,
To send grandpa away.
Pray tell me, now—what has lis done,
That you should treut him so?"
Said Madam Jenny, "Hold your tongue!"
Said Asa, "Let him go."
To grandpa's chatnlier Tommy went
And there his sorrows found a vent
In bitter tears, at last;
"But grandpa waits," he sohhiug said.
Then snatched the quilt from off the bed,
And down the stairway passed.
Then close to father's ear be drew
And whispered: "Cut this quilt in two;
Grandpa needs only half ;
You'll want the other half, when poor
And old, I drive you from my door,
And at your sorrows laugh."
The father starved with surprise;
■ "O Tommy 1 if you e're despise
IS'" 1 treat your father thus,
May heaven" he paused with sudden
dread,
And felt upon his guilty head
The stern, half-uttered curse.
The l>oy had held a mirror there.
He saw himself with hoarv hair,
His life-race nearly run.
Turned out in air,
Bidden to Seek the poorliouse fare,
Scorned by hia darling son.
And conscience, too, held high its glass.
O'er it he saw a specter puss
l'iend-like ingratitude;
It changed into tbe deathless worm,
Where festering wounds forever burn;
He saw and understood.
' O Tommy l take my hand," lie said;
And Tommy to the garden led
Poor Asa, bowed with shame;
And then he fell upon his knees
Beneath the leafless apple-trees,
And called his father's name.
The father raised his hee.d aud heard
"Forgive l " T'was but a single wojd;
But on the withered face,
A smile proclaimed the patdon won.
He held his loved hut long-lost son.
In close and warm embrace.
'Twas rapture to tbe little boy.
And angles heard the sound with joy
When, in an liumMe tone,
Repentant Asa, sad hut calm,
Said, 'Father, lean upon my arm,
And let us now go home."
Now in the chimney's warmest nook
Sits grandpa, with tbe Holy Book,
His countenance serene;
But dimmer grew his sunken eye,
A cough proclaimed that he would die
Before the grass was green.
. Anil Asa watched him day by ilay,
And wepl alone, and tried to pray
That God his life would save;
Yet still the old man weaker grew.
And nearer still each lie drew *
Unto the silent grave.
He saw that into Asa's heart
Remorse had sent ita keenest dart:
And so he Sought to hide
The death hue on his witherrd check,
And even when extremely weak,
To walk he vainly tried.
But grief ou that old heart still fed,
Although its last, last tear was shed-
Life's sea had lieen so rough ;
The voyage now was almost o'er.
Sweet voices from the other shore
Cried "Come! it is enough."
But through the long and dreary night.
And through the day, however bright,
Asa waa by his £ed;
He brushed aside hia snowy hair"
