A recent let 4er from him will fit In as a contlnu- ' ance of the one published In The Ob . r eerver some days ago, which, like this !l '' one does, treated of "old times" In . Xta-vldson county. I'ntll 1840 Mr. Clem mons was out of the county, and the C , State, and on his return In that year, he took up his residence in Lexlnffton. ' He eays: "At the time I came back, ' , the celebrated 'log -cabin und hard-ci-' , der' campaign whs In full blast and .great excitement prevailed among !' the people. The Whigs had put out las their candidate for the Presidency, . "' ' MGhm. William Henry Harrison, and for the Vic "Presidency, John Tyler.

The Whigs in order to Ingratlute If themselves Into the good graces of the ,,eonunon people, picked up old Oen. Harrison, who had a good military if record to back hltn, and who also had ' the advantage of having been born and reared in the frontier where peo l In those days llve1 mid died in t rude log-cabins. So. for campaign pur peaes, the Whigs built small log-cab-i' Ins Which they set on wheels and ' - tia-uled to all the speaking places In he Union. These cabins had coon U -v ektns tacked on the front side and a ' ' barrel of hard cider stood by the front door. POLITICAL RALLY OF m. " J , On my first enlrance Into Iexilng loil In M40, I met an Immense crowd nf I" people. The Whigs were holding one Cf their monster political meeting, n !A. speaker's stand had been erected , and near It was a little log-cabin with Its coon skins and hard cider. I ' do not recall any of the nai.ics of the speakers on that day save that of Ham Jones, then editor of The Halls ' t bury Watchmen. He was the 'funny i tnan of occasion. Although not much of a lawyer, he was a very succeaHful editor and a grf-at wit. The topics dls cussed on this day were Van Hurcn's alleged scandalous use of the people's money and the tarlfT. It was charged that the President had furnished the 'i yviftte House with gold bedsteads, erold cups and saucers, silver knives nd forks and the most costly furni ture of every kind that could he turc based in France. This extrava gance was not only charged but was proven toy sworn statements which the Whigs had printed and given wide clr cnlatlon. In discussing the tariff, they also proved that th- foreign importer JMLld it all. They fairly shivered with 1 fear that the pauper labor of Kurope . Would destroy all our manufacturing Industries and that starvation and desolation would swiftly follow the re- fusal of government protection fortlie . . Infant manufactories. "At this time the Whig party in Davidson had fourteen hundred voles, While the Democrats had only foil! hundred. In the congressional district the Whigs hart a clear majority of live thousand votes. The Democrats, In county or congressional district, never had anything hut a forlorn hope of success although they always put up candidates In order to hold the parly toget her. "The leader of the Whig party In that day In Davidson ountv was John W. Thomas, the founder of Thomas llle.

"I have already said that for a few years I was the only lawyer residing in the county, but It was not a great while before a young lawyer by the name of James A. Long located in Lexington. Soon after him came one. James M. Leach. We three were the only ones, then, between 1840 and 1850. There were, however, a number of at torneys from adjoining counties, who came to our Superior Courts, namely, the two Moreheads, Gilmer, Gorrel and Menranhall, from Guilford; Thomas Wilson from Stokes: Julian Leach from Randolph; and Hamilton Jones, Nat Boy den and Burton Craig, from Rowan. These were all Whigs except Burton Craig who was a brlgfft and talented Democrat. They met ev ery night at the room of one of their number, played cards, drank toddy and listened to the funny stories of Ham Jones. "At the time of which I am writing Davidson county was not divided Into townships. The English common law generally prevailed, especially In crim inal matters. North Carolina In that day had no penitentiary. The modes of punishment in vogue were fines, imprisonments, stocks, whipping post and hanging. Only a few weeks be fore 1 left the State I saw two of my clients hung at Lexington, one for burglary, the other for rape, both be ing negroes. In that day but few criminals escaped punishment for their misdeeds. "Between 1840 and 1850 Davidson county was about the renter of no where In Its relation to the rest of the world, having no railroad; but now that the railroad has won, great changes have taken place In all mat ters and Davidson is in every respect, doubtless, one of the most prosperous and wealthiest counties In the State." PASSING OP OLD TAVERN. nM Ruck. Anltovlllc's Oldest Hotel, to lilve Place to Modern mx-nwiry Hostelry. Correspondence of The Observer. Ashevllle, March l.-The old Buck iwpi unit th wooden structure ad- Joining are going. The work of tearing away these old lanama-ras was unfi ts ken this morning. The work is in charge of McDowell A Spears and will consume probably two weeks. The buildings are located on North Main street In the very centre of Ashevllle and were built more than half a cen tury ago. They are to be replaced by a handsome and modern hotel of six stories of frame steel and concrete re inforcement with a roof-garden. The removal of the Buck Hotel means the passing of an ancient landmark; the taking away of the oldest structure In the city and a structure withal around which hovered much that had to do with Ashevllle when the city was a mere burg. The Buck Hotel at one time was the principal tavern In western North Carolina. It was for years conspicuous by a unique Sign denoting Its name the antlers and head of a great buck. The removal of the Buck Hotel has been threatened for many years. It was some ten years ago that rumor had It the Buck was to go. This rumor Inspired Will Aiken, now pHvate secretary to the (lovcrnor of Montana, but then doing newspaper work In Ashevllle, to write what was declared to he the best story of the day. The story had to do with a "convention of bed bugs" held In the Buck Hotel "for the purpose of discussing the cruel report of destruc tion." But now the old landmark Is assuredly going. Already pnitlons of the hulldlngs have been torn down and before the middle of the month all that will remain of the famous tavern will he plies of dust-covered timbers and soft-clay bricks. Th tavern In the days before the war hotfsed many prominent men. The Buck was the stopping place of hog and cattle driv ers thai passed through Ashevllle with great droves of animals before the days of the railroad. At that time there were great vacant stretches of land surrounding the tavern. This land was fenced and Into theae en closures were fed great droves of hogs and cattle every night and day. It was a well-known slopping place for the drivers and usually these men spent the night at the tavern. The building that will replace the old tuinblr-down frame structure will h" a modern and commodious hotel. The hotel will be erected by I". H. Miller In charge of the Smith estate. It will he a thing of beauty and credit to Ashevllle. Plans for the building as accepted were drawn by Architect H. S. Smith, of Ashevllle.

' Correspondence of The Observer. Washington, March 2. It is about time tor the Democratic party to prepare for .the campaign ot 1906. The Sixtieth Congress is to be chosen in November, and if the Demo crats should have a majority n that body it will be because they organized before the election and got the tote out to the polls on the day of elec tion. The Republican party ' was cre ated in 1854. There haver was a day since Its birth that, a majority of the voters believed In Its principles or endorsed its conduct, and yet It has triumphed in nine presidential elections out of thirteen since Its ex istence and In 1876, it stole the usu fruct of Democratic victory. It has controlled 17 Congresses out of 28 since W4. The Republican party has accom plished these things mainly by organ ization on the part of its leaders. aided by disorganization on the part of the Democrats. A disciplined regi ment Is more effective than a demor alized brigade. That was shown in the Fifty-second Congress, when Tom Reed, at the head of 87 veteran Re publicans whom he absolutely controll ed, made the Democratic organization of that Congress, with Its majority of double the entire Republican mem bership, completely Impotent, and Mr. Crisp, surrendering to Mr. Reed, counted a quorum by proxy. And so, what is your vote worth un less you vote? A party that does not get out its vote is like a fellow in the Scriptures, who hid the talent the Lord gave him In the earth. There is but one way to carry an election and that l to poll your vote. The Republicans understand this thor oughly. Their organization is perpet ual. They are not Idle a day. He fore they are done shouting over om victory they are at work organising for another. Right now they are fix ing fences In every close district in the Union. They pay little attention to the districts that are overwhelmingly for them, or against them. They at tend to those electorates where the majorities are 1,500 or less for or against them. ' Their great organizer and plum tree shaker. Matt Quay, showed them the trick In 1888. With John Wanamaker's boodle of $400,000 he entered the city of Brooklyn and did all his devilment right there in Kings county. And ' there he elected Ben Harrison, and that is the way that Babcock and Overstreet work they pick out the close districts and assault there. To-day they have card catalogues of every close district In the Union. It is a big advantage; but there are more men in America who do not agree with the Republican party than there are men who do believe in it and there Is the hope of Democracy. A vote must be cast before It is .taunted! tsirul ihence the IDlmocrate must organize, but It takes an organi zer to organize. Kamuel J. Tllden was the greatest political captain the country ever produced and the best organizer. He knew as well the day before the November election of 1876 the electoral vote the two parties would poll as he knew It a week ef ter election. Had he Imagined that the November (election would be stolen h would have put thern to the trouble of steal ing another State, but he was certain he had votes enough, which he did. There is some talk of giving the Democratic' chairmanship to some Northern man, solely because he Is a Northern man. That Is not the way to choose a general. Geography has nothing to do with It. What the party needs Is the best organizer it can get, i dgarJUss -of the Isectlon Jie hails from. If he be a Northern man, take him if he be a Southern man, take him; If he be from the Atlantic coast, take him; If he be from the Mississippi, valley, lake him; If he be from the far-off Pacific, take him. Be sure he knows how to turn the trick and has the capacity to do it. I hear excellent reports of the ca pacities of Henry D. Flood, of Vir ginia. He is the grandson of Charles J. Faulkner, and the nephew of Sen ator Faulkner who was chairman ot the Democratic Congressional Commit tee in 189, and thus he was born Into the work of politics. He got his train ing as an organizer from John S. Bar bour, the best Democratic field captain the party ever had with the single ex ception of Mr. Tllden. Barbour was a master of detail. He never trusted to "chance. He organized from the school district up. He got out the vote. He carried the day. When he was In command the party never lost an elec tion in hlB ball wick by the "stay at home vole." Flood got his views of political management from John S. Barbour, and it is not at all likely that there will be another Democratic Con gress, in this town, until the Congres sional campaign commltt puts Into operation Barbour's method of organl xa t ion. And first the campaign of education night to be perennial, never ceasing. The "first voter" should never be lost sight of. His mind Is plastic, and as the twig Is bonUe-so the tree Is in c::n.d; . "The dewdrop on the baby plant Has warped the gluni oak forever; A pehhlc In a streamlet cast Has hanged the course of many a i Iver." anyhow, but it" wr ta,ka' him longer to do It." - , ' -, - ; - An so let us educate the people to Democratic principles, and If Mrv Cor telyou .wants to buy another election it will take ur money to do It. , 4, . .- SAVOYARD. ' I30TU AXXtVERSAKY , ' In Commemoration of the Battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, North Caro. Una Society ot ' New York Holds Klghth Annual Banquet. Correspondence of The Observer. New Yortc, March 1. Tuesday, Feb ruary 27, the one hundred and; thirti eth anniversary of the battle of Moore's Creek Bridge, the first potrtotlo victory In the Southern colonies in the Revo lutionary war. the North Carolina So ciety of New York, which numbers about 2(s native North Carolinians residing in the metropolitan district, held its eighth annual dinner In the Atsor dining room of the Woldorf Astorla Hotel. The banquet room was filled with the members of the society and their guests, and the occasion was one of themost successful In Its his tory. - The president of the society, Ralph H. Holland, "Esq., presided and the guest of honor was Hon. Claude Kltch in. Representative of the first district, who made an eloquent response to the toast "North Carolina." "The Young Manfs Burden" was an appropriate subject for Dr. Woodrow Wilson, pres ident of Princeton University. Dr. John H. Flnley president of the College of the City of New York, responded to "Manhattan," and was followed by Mr. Fablus H. Busbee. of Raleigh, upon "One of the Obstacles In the Way of Southern Progress." The speaking ended with a witty address by Hon. Charles F. Moore, whose toast was "The New America." The society Is now eight years old. and has never been more prosperous in Its history- It was organized to culti vate social Intercourse among North Carolinians residing in New York, and to contribute to the welfare of the State of North Carolina. The State so cieties here have, in the past few years. become a great feature In the social life of the city, and It Is a matter of congratulation among the North Caro linians that the society has met with such excellent suocess. JAIL INVESTIGATED. And therefore the first voters must be reached. They must be supplied with the writings and speeches of the ablest and most eloquent men of the lrty. Politics Is become a trade, and It Is honorable, or disgraceful as the politician himself makes It. Of all the nauseating things in the world the contemptible hypocrisy that because a man Is a politician he Is necessarily a scamp It the meanest. In England politics is a profession, and Just as honorable as any other profession. And why should it not be? Somebody has to do the work, and Is It not as Idiotic as It Is Infamous to discredit and sneer at politics as something un clean? Whenever you hear a fellow ratling at politics, you can bet he Is the first thing the grafter will hunt when he gets to the Legislature. And so I hold that politics is a trade and always an honorable trade when followed by an honest man; but poll tics without organization is like a handle without a tool. 1 am told that Mr. Flood managed Senator Martin's campaign in the late primary In Vir ginia, and it was as fine a. pleca of political work as the country has seen since the tltns of Tllden. Mr. Flood believes In literature, and ha would have a stream of it poured out to the voters of every close State and dis trict without ceasing, and I do believe that Is the only way to make sure of an , election, ... , , :.-' v Some three score and ten year ago ohj-r Andy 'Bamet t; - of -Trreen vcountyv Ky , found a youth playing cards with a veteran gambler and the old fellow admonished him thus: "Shufflle the cards, young man, shuffle, shuffle tha crd, lbs 4-d (ambler Will beat you, Buncombe's Bastlle Not as Bad as Federal Prisoners Represented. Correspondence of The Observer. Ashevllle, March 1. The complaint of Federal prisoners that Buncombe county Jail was filled with vermin and In a bad condition was investigated Tuesday afternoon by Assistant Dis trict Attorney Brltt and Marshal Milll kan. The investigation was at the in stance of Judge Waddlll and likewise at the request of Sheriff Reed. Mr, Brltt and Mr. MUllkan made their report In open court before adjournment was had. They found that no blame attach ed to Sheriff Reed. They also reported that the Jail was badly overcrowded and totally inadequate to accommo date the number of prisoners confined there. They did not report on the ver min or lice proposition. In fact they were anxious to get out of the bastile and did not go Into a thorough investi gation. It Is probable that Federal prisoners will cease to occupy cells in Buncombe county jail. They are not desired by Sheriff Reed or the county authorities. They are troublesome and at every term of the court ''knock" the Jail and the local authorities In complaints to the Federal Judges. Early Greek History. Fort Smith (I. T.) Klevator. For the past week I have been so journing In the wilds of the Creek coun try, and the change from the Cherokee to the Creek country Is striking. The Creeks are an entirely different race of people from the Cherokees and other Northern Indians. They are of Aztec, or, rather. Toltec, origin, and In a teocallis, or pyramidal, temple, lo cated in a secluded wild of the Creek country, the same religious rites and ceremonies are performed to-day that were performed in the imposing teocallis located on the bank ot the beautiful Lake Tzcuco.

At the time Cortes mude his appear ance In that neighborhood, bent upon a career of conques and plunder, the Creeks, as they are now called, were living a peaceful. Idyllic life In a land made sacred to them by having been the home of their ancestors for untold thousands of tnoons.and containing the ashes and bones of their wise and loved old men through many generations. Gathering their warrtors together, they gave battle to the invaders, but weapons of stone and flint could make but lit tle Impression upon the steel clad war riors of Spain, and they were defeated with terrible slaughter. Gathering wiv es and little ones together and taking with them their most cherished posses sions, among which were the records of their race, the Jasper altar and their war god. noimng m tils extended right hand the sacrittclal knife of flint, they made their weary way to the capital of Montezuma, the sacred city of Mexico, where they were warmly welcomed p that unfortunate monarch, and where they fought bravely In defence of tho devoted city. They assisted Oautoma sin, the chivalrlu nephew of Montezuma, in his glorious, if ill-fated, attempt to regain the throne of his ancestors, and upon its failure and the attendant death of that young chieftain by torture, after the manner of the ancient Israelites, they determined to seek a land that men knew not, where they might pro vide homes for their families and wor ship tho gods of their ancestors, Tho long wanderings attendant upon Ithis determination are voluminously describ ed upon these shell records, and must furnish material for another letter.
