Jordan 4r Co. , . 1 Special U The Observer, Monro; 1 Aur I.---The celebration of Andrew Jackson Day at Waxhaw yesterday 5 was . marred by a ateady downpour of rain which. began at Jl o'clock in the morning and continued until nightfall. Tha citizens of the ratiltal nf Jackson townuhlD had pre pared a programme which, if' they had not been prevented from carry ins- it out fully, would have made the day a famous one In the history of the State and shown to tne woria that North Caroliniana not only know, without a shadow of doubt, the exact snot within their State where the seventh President of the United States was born, Jut also tnal they hold that birthplace aa an altar of patriotism. But .these are the aentiments of North -Carolinians any way, even though the floods yesterday- prevented expression of them to tne world at large. Aa it was, about two thousand Union county folks went to Waxhaw to aid the citisens of that town in making the celebration success. And several hundred South Carolinians, who live near enough to the North Carolina line to be cor rectly Informed aa to the facts of history, were present .to Join in hon oring the memory of the great North Carolina soldier and statesman. The continuance of the rain in the after noon made it apparent 'that the pro gramme could not be carried out, and that Senator Overman would not be able to deliver his address In the park. There is no building at v ax haw large enough to accommodate the number of people who were there to hear the Senator's speech, so most of the Deoole went sadly away in the early afternoon- leaving but fair-sized audience to greet the dis tinguished speaker when he began his speech In the school building at 5 o'clock In the. evening. But what the audience lacked in numbers it made up in enthuslaam, and the Ken ator's address was .Ibrrally punctu ated wich applause. MR. PAGE'8 INTRODUCTION. Congressman Robert N. Page, who stated that he had traveled farther than anyone else In the building to be present on the great occasion, in troduced the orator of the day. Mr, Page said he had come as a listener, and not to make a speech, and his remarks, therefore, vould not be lengthy. "AH I can do," , he Bald, is to congratulate you upon the dintln gulshed speaker you have here to day. I nave known him for quite a number of years, and I have known him always to esteem him. I take great pride in the fact that before he was a candidate for the United States Senate, my County of- Mont gomery was the first to pass a reso lution endorsing him for that office. For six years he has represented the State in the Senate of the United States, and his light has not been hidden under a bushel. It is my great pleasure to introduce to you the Honorable Lee S. Overman The following is a synopsis of Sen ator Overman's address, or rather of that part of it which referred par ticularly to the life and character of Jackson; for he really delivered two addresses, as will be seen from- his opening remarks: SENATOR OVERMAN'S ADDRESS. It Is a great pleasure for me to be here to-day. I don't know whether the spirit of Andrew Jackson is hov ering over these grounds that were so parched this morning; but it may oe tnat ne is abroad, bringing this needed rain to the. farmers of Union county. This Is one place in North Carolina to which I have always de sired to come. A place famous in the history of North Carolina; yes, fa mous in the history of toe United States; famous in the history of the world. Waxhaw, Union county, North Carolina, will be found men tioned in every history written In this Countvy. it is famous for two things: famous because born near this spot was one of the mot wonderful men that lived in the tide of time- fa. mous because there came from this section of North Carolina a company of men. the Twenty-sixth North Car olina Regiment, that has made his tory. "When I was first invited to come here, I was told that I was to ad dress the old soldiers. I never refuse If it is possible for me to attend a soldiers' reunion. Therefore, In my speech I propose to address the sol diers and tell the prowess of the members of that celebrated regiment. Then I received a letter asking me to address you on the life and char- j acter of Andrew Jackson "I feel this afternoon that I stand on almost sacred ground. The Hu guenot and the Anglo-Saxon. the Puritan and the Cavalier, the fathers from whom we are descended, came across the seas, their' breasts inspired with the sentiment of democracy, that man was made' In the image of his Maker, and desired to be men and freemen. They left the shores of the old coustry before the feudal system was destroyed, and came upon these then hostile shores, cut down the forests and built their little homes. Here they determined to get from under the "divine right of -kings," and establish a government of their own. founded on Justice, and righteousness, and the brotherhood of man, equal rights to all men and spe cial privileges to none. 4 inm scotcnvirisn people came along the streams from the coast In land, Some of them came to this nttia settlement. They were Presby terlan, and wherever you find a Pres byterian settlement . you will find a cnurcn and a schoolhouae. Then people were there at the signing of the Mecklenburg Declaration. The language of that Declaration is simi lar to thafof the Declaration of 177 because it was the language of the day. it was expressed by Patrick Henry In "Give me liberty, or give me death." Nina years before that time there was born In this nation Andrew Jackson. And It will not do now for any man. : The rharfoatn. News and Courier or anv mu t. say that Jackson was not born In North Carolina. That Is settled; It was settled by the historians r vh. world.

"... .""A REMARKABLE MAN' : 'He was a remarkable man. Think of, him; when he was only It years old . he was in the battle of Hanging Rock. He managed to get a smat tering of education, and having got ten a little he began to teach. Then he wended his way to the town In which I live, and - I have 1 myself talked with an old negro" woman who waited upon Jackson .when-he wasJ studying law in Salisbury- He was the wildest boy that "fever lived In that county. He was diligent In his stu dies, however, and would tell" the truth under all circumstapces. After he bad gotten his license. Judge Mc Coy, under whom he studied, advised him not to stay. in Salisbury, but to go to the upper part of the county and begin his practice. ' Nashville, Tenn., was then In the upper part of Rowan county. Jackson started West and stopped at Rockford, in Surry county. He left a board bill unpaid there, and If you go up there you will And a charge to Andrew Jack son for board, under which the pro prietor wrote in 1814, "Settled by the Battle of New Orleans." He was . at once the worst hated and the best loved man that ever appeared upon the political stage.. He was first elected to the Legislature, and then he was made a general In the militia. He was sent to the House of Repre sentatives; he was sent to the Senate but stayed there only short time because, he said, there was too much dignity there for him.' He resigned and went home, and became a Judge. He wan made a major general and Kfought in the Indian wars, and then in the great battle of New Orleans. Behind those cotton bales at New Orleans he won the greatest battle that was ever won In this country under the circumstances. He be came the Idol of the people. He was nominated for the presidency and in that election he received 99 electoral vote, more than any other candi date, in that election, pursuant to the fact that no man had received a majority, it was thrown into the House of Representatives and Henry Clay threw his Influence against Jackson, and thereby Mr. Adams was elected. Rv reason of that there was war hptwern Clay and Jackson al- I most to the death. Out of it grew a celebrated duel, the duel between John Randolph, of Roanoke, and Henry ('lay. Randolph had said the election was a compact .between a blackleg and Adams; by 'blackleg' meaning t'lay. In that duel Clay tired first and Randolph fired his pis tol in the air, and said, 'I leave you to God and your country.' Four yars after that Jackson was nominated and overwhelmingly elected. Four years after he was elected again. LIVED STORMY LIFE. He had the most stormy life of any man that ever lived. He is to day regarded by thinking men as one of the Kreatest soldiers and . states men th.it ever lived. President Roose velt ha said that Andrew Jtackson was a greater man than Jefferson ever was He had some enemies and more friends than any man that ever lived In this country. J He was opposed to display, to aristocratic tendencies, and to power ful monopolies, holding that in them his countrymen would find neither happiness nor liberty. Oh, for An drew Jackson to-day! The tendency has been In this country, from the days of Hamilton and of Adams, to think that the people are not com petent of self-government.". Senator Overman here traced the growth of the differing Ideas of government held by Hamilton and Jefferson. He pointed out that North Carolina kept Out of the Union at first because her people did not want a strong cen tralized government, and that the State did not vote In the first presi dential election, nor enter the Union until the first ten amendments had been adopted, "in these days, with those aristocratic tendencies that An drew Jackson talked about, there is a tendency to deprive the people of the rights they have notwithstanding the constitution. What is the condition of affairs to-day ? Oh, for Andrew Jackson! There Is a panic in the United States to-day. On the first y of October, it came like a thun der clap out of a clear sky. A panic, when the people were never so pros perous as they were at that time; never so much money on deposit as then. The corn-cribs were overflow ing, the wheat-pits were overrun ning, and cotton was in the sheds unsold all over this country. And yet, there was a panic. A canlo brought on bv this money power. These Wall Street men selling what they did not have. We find the Treasury of the United States in time of peace Issuing bonds to the tune of fifty million dollars. Bonds for the Panama canal when they did not, have authority for it. if it goes on, few people will own all the wealth of this country." The speaker com pared Jackson's attitude toward the United States bank vith the attitude of the government to-day, to the fa vor of the former. He declared he was no pessimist, and did not believe the fall 0t the republic was comlnr. He had too murh confidence In the people of the United States for that. He criticised the Vreeland-Aldrlch bill, and continued: "There are two banks In the United States; one is the National City Bank, of New York and the other the National Bank of Commerce. The rity Bank Is owned by the Standard Oil Company; the Bank of Commerce !s owned by Pler- pont Morgan. These- two banks con trol all the national banks In the United States. You see what power they have. But I was about to get off onto politics. Hut that s sound doctrine and I could quote Andrew Jackson for It. GREATER THAN WASHINGTON. ' "Jackson was greater than Wash ington, greater than Hamilton, be cause he stood by the plain people ana aia more than any other man to protect the Integrity of the republic. w nat an example his life offers to "the young men of this country from poverty and ignorance up to the presidency of the nation. , The great men of this country have not coma from the homes of the rich or the palaces of the great They have come up from the people of the land. I had occasion a show time ago 'to look up the biographies of the mem bers of the Senate, and I found that three-fourths ef them eame up from the humbler walks of life. They are, men wno know wnat tne people. want, and that was the kind Jackson, was. The greatness of our country does not consist In great navies, or armies. or.fortincationa: it Is the character of , the Individual citizen. - Destroy the character or the individual and voir will soon destroy your country.

Then Clay came In with his compromise bill and it was all over. When Jackson was near his death, some one" asked him what he would have done if Calhoun had gone on and he replied, 'I would have hung him as high as Haman.' DIED A CHRISTIAN.

""(Loud and long continued applause). He was a vir tuous man, an honeat man, a truth ful man. Three men were talking One day about " the narrow escapes they had. One said ho had a very narrow one In a railroad wreck; an other that he had come very near meeting death at sea in a wreck. The third man said. 'Boys, I had a very narrow escape once, I tell you. I went out one summer to pick black-, berries, and when I was picking away there came a big black hear after me. He chased me. and chased me. and we kept running until we came, to Old Man Smith's mlllpond. I Jumped on the ice and ran serosa, but the bear could not go oti the ice without slipping, and so I was saved.' One of his hearer said. 'Look here. Mister, didn t you . say It was blackberry time when that bear chased you? How come there was lee on the mlllpond ?' 'Why, that shows what an awful narrow escape I had, for that durned hear chased me from June till next December be fore I could get to the mlllpond.' If anyone tells you that Andrew Jack son wasn't born in North Carolina, don't tell him he Is a liar, but tell him that story." TALKS TO OLD SOLDIERS. Senator Overman then proceeded with his speech to the old soldier: In which he paid many glowing trll utes to the valor of the Twenty-wlx North Carolina Regiment In tne civil war, as well as to the gallantry of the North Carolina troops In general. It was a splendid address, and the speaker at times rose to the highest peaks of eloquence. Speeches by ' the candidates for county offices were on the pro gramme, but. of course, they had to be omitted along with other good things. The candidates were all there, however, and remained till the end of the day. Directly after Sen ator Overman reached Waxhaw, In the morning, he asked to be present ed to 'Squire Henry McWhorte.r, the Democratic war-horse of Jackson township, tfe recognized great au thority on the life and times of Jackson, and the living link between Jackson's day and this. The two gentlemen met, and held most pleas ant and Instructive conversation on themes touching on and appertaining to the great statesman whose mem ory they had come there to honor. The 'squire was on the platform dur ing the delivery of the Senator's ad dress, and nodded his approval of all the fine points made by the speaker for Andrew Jackson and the place of his birth at the Waxhaw settle ment In North Carolina. COL. HEMPHILL'S INFLUENCE? About the time It was raining hardest, between 2 and 3 o'clock In the afternoon, a man who was sit ting in The Waxhaw EnterprUe of fice remarked the fact that the -rain was coming from the southeast, from the direction nf the office of The Charleston News and Courier, and suggested that the editor of that paper might have Influence enough' with the Weather Bureau to have brought on the rain. But this Idea was scouted by the others present, who said that a gentleman who had no influence whatever In his attempts to change the facts of North Caro lina history, could certainly have no influence on North Carolina weather. Besides, It was pointed out. 'the rain was so badly needed, that it must be a God-send to the farmers of the section, and highly agreeable to the spirit of Andrew Jackson to behold the thirsty soil of his native county satisfied with the abundant waters. For this, as he had always In th flesh been willing to forego personal honor for the good of his country, his spirit was now willing to do like wise. Such sentiments as these show forth the spirit of the men who had come through the deluge in rever ence to the memory of North Caro Una's great son. THE DEATH RECORD. Mrs. J.
