PROF, SIKE3' INTRODUCTION. xr v. waiter Slkes. of Wake Forest College. Injrc ucej , the speak- -"r,,,... vou... .aid IT " v0ur'KOod luck. it Is not every county in North Caro lina that haa a man as canaiua-o whose reDUtation haa gone beyond his own county. I waa up in Lexing- came up to me ana asaea m w him ahmit the old war-horse of Jack son town-hip. Union county. He is a man who represents both the an cient and the modern time. He has taken out of . the oast all that Is good, and adopted 'it for use in the present A man who believes In prin ciple, and whom all the money of the multi-millionaire cannot buy. He Is asking for your votes; asking to represent t'ne great County of Union In the Legislature. Here is a man who lives at home and boards at the same place. I have a special pleas ure in presenting him to you. He is rightly proud of his connection with Andrew Jackson, near whose birth place he was himself born. But such Is the perversity of those who deny that Jackson was born In North Caro lina, that It would not be surprising If their next claim should be that "Squire McWhorter was not born in the Old North State! I have the great pleasure of presenting to you the old Democratic war-horse of Jackson." - A ROAR OF APPROVAL. When 'Squire McWhorter roe to peak, he was greeted with a roar of approval that put to shame the tu mult excited by Demetrius, the sil versmith, who brought no small gain unto the craftsmen at Ephesus by making silver shrines for Diana. When he was able to proceed, he did so slong the following lines: "Gentlemen, and fellow cltlsens of Wingate; I have been called ' before you here to-night, as I was called yesterday if I would accept, to make you a little talk. Ae I have talked to-day over at Olive Branch. I was a little late getting here. This Is the first time in my life I have ever spoken on the soil of Wingate. I was called before the people as a candidate by the cltiaen. of Monroe and of Jackson township, the glorious 0M towimhln where I was born and -; . . . raised, ana wnere i ep-T -u ' rivht mi mv fathers old. residence ana be burled there. I thank Ood that I was born In Jackson, and that my great-grandfather, who landed from Glasgow, settled In the Waxhaws where Andrew Jackson was born. "On the night of March 15th. 1767. my great-grand mother was sent for to come over to the house of Ueorge McKemey. and a little boy called An drew Jackson - was born there that night. The next day. when she went over to see how Mrs. jacason ana her children were getting along, my grandfather wanted to go and ee the baby: "o she took him along and he saw the child, and they were raised boys together, snd were taught to gether In the old-field schools of that day." The speaker here detailed many Interesting adventures of his grandfather and Andrew Jackson, both In war and peace, until the year 1781. and went on. "In 17sl. when the battle was out. my great-grandfather swapped the land he lived on then for the land where X live now. He died there. In 1111, under the faith of the old Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. One of "nls great-grandsons. In West Virginia. Is Judgr of the Supreme Court there. His name is Henry McWhorter, same as mine. That's as far aa I will go on that subject. Now. we will go to something else. They have tne as candidate for Representatlre In the Legislature. I was qualified In 1888 for Juitlce of the peace and have been holding it ever since. We will get up to the laws. Up to 1817. we had Calvin A.ncrart. uui aoihh, a. c. Eubank and , James Houston In the Legislature, and wt had the best Bute govrnrhentof anjrtae in the Routh. and you can't deny It. gentle. men. When there waa a change made, they tore the government all to pieces. ruled them out and got better times by it; you 111 know that, gentlemen. Ever since then, it hts been a little old sore that forma a scab, and yoirl grease it over aood. and then get another sore. We need changes in I'nlon county and In North Carolina. Four year ago. what waa tne aay in Union county? These, here agent, organ agents, rook-stove agents the merchants of Union county began allowing them to go all over the coun ty pullinr the farmer for all he is worth. These fellows have sold an average of $21,900 worth of thetr stuff in everr county In the State, each year. Nlnety-sJa time. 125.000 that goes up North every year and never returns on the old ship. What do you thin of that? I am In iavor of taxing them out of existence.. They art going around with Bibles, too. One of my daughters bought one from an aaent who lied to ber about it. tbe other day: I would have given hr tea dollars if she had rralied him wlh a et'ek.

JWe axe getting along very well with the roads, but .there are aoma folks running around drinking elder and ' spending the .time they f could put in oa thejoade. Down in Jackson wa nave a gooo. system plenty ef tools to fix tha roads; you ter stand for what thev are. I am lnfavor Of letting the roads stand. "Now, about the reeorder'a court: There was a little talk two years ago about the courts, that there ought to be some ichange made. They go down to Raleigh and establish a re corder's court Nobody but a lawyer has got sense enough to hold. It; a lawyer has got more sense than twelve men! I am not In favor of it. We have lots of men in Union county who have more sense than the law yers. They claim It Is a great money saver, and yet they won't pay the wltnessea I , am proud to aay that no one from my settlement has gone there. I keep them down; I keep peace in my country. If they want it in Monroe, let them have it- That's where they have the devil, at who need It." Asked how he stood on the reformatory question, the 'squire replied: "A good hickory withe is good enough. Take a few young ras-. cals and put them In the guard house, and give them some lashes, and there would be mighty few to go to a re formatory. If they put it to a few on the court bouse square, there wouldn't be half a. much law In the court house. HARD ON LAWYERS. "They claim there are so many courts. I can tell you what the mat ter la The lawyers are all young fel lows. - They take up their papers, one here and one there, with their plead ing and allegations. They wtll turn two or three ways, barking like little pwpples for a piece of bread. They stand up and say what I call thetr dialogues, like boys at school. Why, If Zeb Vance, or Harve Wilson, or McCaulay were here now they would be for fralllng them out of the court house with sticks." Some one in the audience requested the 'squire's views on prohibition. "Well, about prohibi tion; we have got I don't know what you call it. They had to have an other little session of the Legislature. They went down there and were go ing to have some amendments to the railroads, and first thing they jumped astraddle of a barrel of liquor. Then they must have an election; they must have It in May; they put the State of North Carolina to an ex pense of $100,000. But still they want to keep a little liquor up here at Mon roe; a little bit there for old Aunt Patsy and old Aunt Suky, for 'medi cine.' They were going to sell It there at real cost. But you have to give a doctor 25 cents for what you might as well call 'old pepper soup.' I would wipe it out. We don't need any such slop of laws as that' In Union county. I am going to wind up now." The 'squire was prevented from winding up Just here by a ques tion as to how he stood on bird dogs. "I don't know; we don't need them, but the young boys must have them to hunt around with and shoot birds; but they are a nulwance to the country. I am against too much pen sions; a good many when they get the money send up and get a Jug of liquor, and have a hallelujah time like the old woman a-shoutlng. I am In favor of the nigger doing his own education and paying for it himself. Let him take his own money and ed ucate his own crowd." The speaker was about to bring hts speech to a close once nyre when he was asked about the lst Legislature. "Well, I was down there and stood In there with them. There was right smart of growling there. It reminds me a good deal of what Kltohin said to me. He said. 'I don't know what the peo ple of North Carolina mean by send ing such a pack of chaps to the Leg islature.' DON'T NEED A GUARDIAN. "As I have been brought out from Monroe and Waxhaw, if you see fit to send me to the Legislature, I will not do anything unless you know some thing about it. I will not be con trolled by any set of guardians from Monroe or anywhere. I don't need any guardian." Asked as to his po sition on freight rate, the 'squire responded, "Freight rates should be made a little higher yet, to stop so many tramps on the railroads. "The majority of you know me. We" had mighty good times vhen the old farmers went to the Legislature, and if you see fit to nominate me, I shall srve you to the very best I can. I assure you there will be no recorder's court or anything like it passed with out your knowing It. I thank you. gentlemen, for your attention, and more for your votes on next Satur day. There la one more little state ment I will make. My opponents, there are five of them, could not get here to-night, and they asked' me to 1H you know they were In the race." This last statement put an end to a rumor that had gone out to the effect that 'Squire McWhorter had atolen a march on his opponents and got In an extra spaech on them. The 'squire made a big hit at Wingate. and da. servedly so - The simplicity of his diction and the directness of-hla ap pear were not only enjoyed by those who had heard him speak before, but those who heard him for the first time were simply entranced. It should be noted, also, that the old Jackson war-horse Is the only candidate who has the" courage to come out flat- footed against the recorder's court. No one can aay that he straddles on that question, or, any other question. for that matter. ; ... ? , . A ttEMARKABLE SPEECH While driving hack to Monroe through the lovely moonlight, Pro fessor Slkea told the reporter that it waa truly the most remarkable speech he had ever heard, and tnat ne wouia never cease to remember it. He had had no Idea there waa a man In his native county who waa so capable of expressing himself In- such forceful English, and he now could appreciate the : reason . for the 'squire a reputa tion at home and abroad.

' ' . "- " -. The trial of the suit brought by Mr. Twyford against Mr. MiHer a cause arowinar out of a certain trade or swap wherein Mr. Twyford took- a atock of goods In exchange for nis .rranlte mansion"; and certain otner considerations has been before Judge Newman on various phaeea for the past several days, The case was in teresting. - The. plaintiff demanded from the defendant 120.000, alleging that he had been defrauded out of approximately this amount m a trade. The sum and substance of the' whole thing was that Mr. Twyford had cer tain real estate in Henderaonvllle, while Mr. Miller had a certain stock of goods in Indiana- Mr. .Twyford desired to dispose of his real estate. Advertieement waa made and Mr, Miller answered. There was a cor respondence. Agents made Investi gations and reports. Tha trade waa finally made, the Twyford "granite mansion." ten acres of land and $8,000 going in exchange for a stock of goods valued at 225,000. The goods were shipped to Mr. Twyford at Ilenderspnvllle and stored away, while a deed to the Henderaonvllle property waa made to Mr. Miner. When tne goods were opened, according to the contention of the plaintiff, they were not as represented. They were moth eaten., while many alleged stylish gar ments were, the plaintiff contended, of ancient vintage and worthless. . In the meantime Mr. Twyford's agent. who Inspected I the goods ,or who is alleged to have inspected the .roods. had died. Mr. Twyford brought ault on the ground that fraud had been practiced and .demanded the recovery or tne aum of 820.000. It waa thla money that Judge Newman Instructed the jury to find that the plaintiff was not entitled to recover. Both the plaintiff and the defendant were here In person attending the trial. Mr. Miller is blind. Likewise he is a man of years. But notwithstanding this "infirmity" of age and his lose of sight, he Is evidently a aood trader. He did. however, set up a counter claim during the trial in effect con tending that the property which he secured from Twyford was not what it waa represented to be; that' the house was not habitable; that he fin ally had to return to Indiana and that he sold the "granite mansion" for 16,500. He is a kindly, fatherly- looking old gentleman, apparently in terested in everything that roes on. although to him all is darkness. In repose he wears a "smile that Is child-like and bland." We waa evidently well pleased with the turn of the case this mo mine and wilt shortly leave for his home In Indiana. GREAT INTEREST SHOWN. , The Fanners' InwUtutn Held at China ..rove the 11th Inst.
