Evidence is Again Reviewed. Bruce Craven in Charlotte Observer. Jan. 26th. As one of the sympathizers 0? ine .fiariotte Observer in the preservation of histonVnl fmtri I have noticed the latest. festation of ' incredulity on the part of Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., of isoutn Carolina, with regard to the birthplace of Andrew Jack son. Mr. Salley is - secretary of tne bouth Carolina historical com mission, and his chief duty seems to be to throw as much darkness a; possible over two interestirv - us cf North Carolina histo:;. . Jackson's place of birth and tht Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence. He found it inex pedient to claim that the latter occurred in South Carolina, so ht has tried in vain to prove that it did not occur anywhere; ant when he finally, gets to the en of his futile imagination of vair things about Jackson, it need not surprise anyone for him to begir arguing that Jackson was not born but made and that he wa made in South Carolina. "Ht draweth out the thread of his verbosity finer than the staple ol his argument" Some well-meaning people may suggest that this controversy is much ado about nothing, but so long as South Carolina contends for error, we should be willing tc contend for the truth, and the judgment of time and reason have long ago decreed that Jack son was born in North Carolina, however unimportant and even trivial that fact may be. In The Charleston News and Courier oi July 31, 190C, Mr. Sally used whole page in "conclusively demonstration" the error of the fact that has for many years been generally accepted. In The Charlotte Observer of August 21st of the same year, I submitted some remarks in reply to Mr. Salley and which The Observer editorially referred to as "com prehensive, accurate and de cisive." In Mr. Salley 's latest effort, he does not produce even one new argument, but simply presents a rehash of his former discussion which itself was a re hash of rehashes. - To quote Shakesphere, it is "words, words, words," but to quote the South Carolina papers, "it finally settles the mooted question." Let us see! 1. The first point made is that Jackson repeatedly declared him self to be a native of South Caro lina, and this point has always been admitted and there is no de sire to disprove it Jackson's father lived near the present nisi U8K Thousands of American women in our homes are daily sacrificing their lives to duty. N In order to keep the home neat and pretty, the children well dressed arid tidy, women overdo. A female T weakness or displacement is often brought on and they suiter in suence,' drifting along from bad to worse, knowing well that they ought to have help to overcome the pains and aches which dauy make hie a burden. It is to these faithful women that LYDIAE.PINKHAf.rS VEGETABLE COMPOUND comes as a boon and a blessing, as it did to Mrs. F. Ellsworth, of Mayville, N. and to Mrs. W . P. Boyd, of Beaver Falls, Pa who say : I was not able to do my own work; owing to the female trouble from which I suffered. Liydia Hi. nnknam a vege table Compound helped me wonderfully, and I am so well that I can do as hig a day's work as I ever did. 1 wish every sick woman would try it. x FACTS FOR SICK WOMEN. For iJjirty years Lydia E. 'Pink ham's Vegetable Compound, unlade, from roots and herbs, has been the - standard remedy for" female ills, and has positively cured thousands oi women who have been troubled with displacements, inflammation, ulcera tion, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bear- . ing-down feeling, flatulency, indiges tion,dizziness,or nervous prostration. Why don't you try it ? Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women to write- lier for advice. She has - guided thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. town of Monroe and died there in February of 1767. Immediate ly thereafter, Andrew Jackson's mother with her children started to the home of her sister, Mrs. Crawford, . in .South " Carolina. En route she stopped at the home of another sister, Mrs. George McKemey, in North Carolina, and there, March 15, 1767, An- lrew himself was born. A few days latter the family went on to Crawford's and there ' Andrew lived in South Carolina until he reached the years of discretion, when he returned to North 'Car--'?na and lived in North Carolina udl the western part of the jtate, in which he resided, was made into Tennessee in 1796. Is it then very surprising that fackson should make a mistake about the place of his birth when in all probability his own mother lid not know that the McKemey louse was in North Carolina? In this simple error of his rests very contention that he was oorn in South Carolina and not one of them can stand the test of reliability. 1. Mr. Salley's next strongest vidence is a wonderful map made by J. Boy kin, of South Car olina, in the year 1820, and on which "General Jackson's birth place," is marked as being near the home of the Crawfords but certainly not the. Crawford home tself. On this same map, which is grossly inaccurate throughout, the Waxhaw- creek is made to rise is South Carolina, while as a matter of fact it rises three miles inside of North Carolina. This is a fair sample of Mr. Salley's evidence, but the average per son will hesitate to accept Mr. Boykin's location of the birth place of a President when he missed the location of" a creek three miles. Mr. - Boykin was merely guessing on the authority of the same old declarations of Jackson about his "native State," and Mr. Salley is guessing yet on die strength of the other guesses. 3. The only other South Caro lina evidence is that of several biographers of Jackson during his life time, and who of course did not question his own opinion about his birthplace, so that ab solutely all of Mr. Salley's con tention is based directly or indi rectly on the simple statement of Jackson himself, and we will now proceed to discuss the correct ness of that Jackson, according to Parton, stated at least on one occasion that he was born in the home of George McKemey in South Caro lina, and until very lately, the South Carolinians have contend ed that McKemey's home was in South Carolina. In The Observ er of June 9, 1903, I published the records from the Mecklen burg county books which showed beyond all doubt that McKemey lived in North Carolina when Jackson was born; and the rec ords of Lancaster and York coun ties in South Carolina have been searched iitvain for only evidence that he lived in South Carolina at any time. The deed of the land to him was recorded in Mecklen burg county January 10, 1766, and McKemey's "place of resi dence was given as Mecklen burg county, North Carolina, January 3, 1792. McKemey deeded it to Thomas Crawford, of "Lancester county, South Car olina, and it is now owned by Mr. J. L. Rodman, of Waxhaw. The site of the : McKemey house (at which the foundation stones are.yej to be seen) is marked by an iron marker as the birthplace of Andrew Jackson. This evidence about the loca tion of the McKemey house is so conclusive that even Mr. Salley admits it, but he says now that there is no proof that Jackson was born at The McKemey house. The Charleston News and Curier, which started and has kept alive the contentious argument admit ted in an editorial comment Oc tober -8, 1903, that Jackson was born at McKemey's but declared that it was only put into Norl1 A tickling cough, from 'any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr. Snoop's Cogh Cure..

Carolina by a later survey of the boundary line. In answer to this it is only necessary to say that the preliminary survey of the boundary line in question was made in 1765 and has not since been changed. The account of Jackson's birtl at McKemey's depends mainly upon the evidence of people whe were present and whose story was given by their chirdren ir 1857 and 1858 to Col. S. H. Walkup, of Union county, anc which was -published in full ir. The Wadesborjo Argus of Sep tember 23, 1858. The origins papers arc-in my po:s ssion and nearly all were sworn to in th presence of witnesses. Seven teen, different affidavits wen -aken and some of them were rom people then almost- un known to each other, yet there was no divergence whatever ir the essentials of the story, anr this corroboration is so complete that no reasonable person car doubt its accuracy. There were present in the Mc Kemey house when Jackson waf born the following persons: Mr. and Mrs. McKemey, Mrs. Eliza beth McWhorter; Mrs. Saral Leslie and Mrs. Sarah Lathen. The testimony of each of these persons as definitely remembered by their children or grand-children, was given in the affidavits, and they all declared that An drew Jackson was born" in the McKemey house, though some of them did not know in which State the house was. So in summing up, we have the unsupported statement of Jackson himself that he was born in South Carolina, and that too without any statement as to the exact location of the birthplace. He grew to manhood at Craw ford's but he certainly did not think he was born at the Craw ford home but at a house near there, which at least on one oc casion he designated as the Mc Kemey house. Thus even this view leaves it open for proof that the birthplace was the McKemey house which is now admitted to have been in North Carolina, and this proof is given by. the evi dence above suggested. In conclusion, I respectfully second Mr. Salley's motion that for the erection of a suitable monument and I beg leave to amend the motion to the effect that both States join in the - good work and erect on the spot well within the old North State a fitting mark of respect to the great ex ponent of Democracy and the seventh President of the nation.

With American youth, of the kind who used to make up the bulk of the army, education is worshipped. Ambition to get on in the world is the national trait Might not those who deplore the difficulty of getting recruits take advantage of this thought? The army could turn a young man out at the end of a five-year term, with a substantial educa tion and mastery of some useful art which would give him success among skilled workmen. In the making, the recruit would need to be no less a soldier, and the finished product would be both a better insurance against war and a better asset for the country in peace.

On This, the Anniversary of the Death of the Noted Evangelist, a Friend Brings a Wreath of Love and Admi ration to Lay on His Tomb In Many Respects He Was a Wonderful Man, and a Hero. Charlotte Observer. Jan. 27. Just one year ago today Wil liam P. Fife was ushered into the presence of his King and ielded up his f ranchised soul to the God who gave it For ten or twelve years he went up and down North Carolina carrying llad tidings to many sin-fettered ouls. How nobly he wrought in his Master's vineyard eternity alone can tell. He was in many respects a remarkable man. Of neager education, his earlier life iven to the world and things of the world, never a student or a nan of reading, with a limited knowledge of the precepts of the 3ible and ignorant of any system of theology, yet he proved a wonderful power in reforming men. At his best, never elo quent as the world regards the vord, yet I have seen the braini- !st lawyers, the most i learned Jivines, the most accomplished scholars, thrilled with the' force of his logic, the aptness of his Bible quotation, the persuasive ness of his appeal. With all this he had a rich undercurrent of lumor, which often pleased his hearers. I have often been puzzled to know the secret of his power, and while I differed with him about many things yet knowing much of his inner thoughts and mo tives, I am persuaded that it lay not alone in the sincerity of his conviction, but in his sublime be lief that he had been instructed and accredited by his Savior to deliver a message of hope and peace to his fellow men. Few men ever attempted to preach the Gospel with greater handi cap than he. The chords of financial embarrassment, of reck less living would have proven fetters too strong for most men, but with him, under the redeem ing light of love, they became as as ropes of sand. He broke as with an iron mace, the fetters of old habits and association; in time paid his obligations and preached the Gospel with force and effectiveness.- Hundreds flocked to hear this new-risen star in the evangelical heavens and heard him gladly. There are many men in the State to day who bear testimony to the truth that he , was instrumental in making them free, and there are those who, having passed over the river, will bear testi mony in the great day of reckon ing that under his preaching, they wera signed and sealed with the invisible inscription of the Most High. It is a flagrant reflection on the culture and intelligence of-the great audiences who often heard him gladly, and on the hundreds who, by his appeal, were helped to a nobler life, to suggest that he was moved by the sordid love of gold. If it be ; true that the light we give betrays the oil we use, then his oil was pure. If it be true that the deeds we per form have in them tongues which betray their origin, then his deeds were founded on love for his f ellowmen. " The great bat tles of life are fought in the heart, and the world knows when shame and hypocrisy have pulled down the banner of hon esty and manhood and raised their own foul flag there. Every thought we think, every motive we cherish, writes its autograph upon every fibre of our lives. Thought externalizes itself, and we become and look what we think. A look into his face would at once convince one of his honesty of ljeart, his purity of purpose. That he often made mistakes, I freely admit; that he was without fault, I do not claim. If it be a noble thing to mag nify crowning virtues (and he had them), it is a nobler thing to minimize faults. For years before he quit preach ing his throat was often in a ter rible condition; a condition which grew worse and worse, and only those who knew him best knew how he suffered. Apparently in robust health he was for years a physical wreck. Though for the past few years he did not preach from the pulpit yet he carried his religion into his business, into his family and among his associ ates. From his own means, as I am reliably informed, he sup ported missionaries abroad and at home; gave to Chiistain and charitable purposes; and when the grim monster approached him, found him with the open Bible in act of prayer and praise to his Lord and Savior. There was never a kinder, more indulgent father, a more devoted husband. "Who conquers self, he ia a hero brave, His name may die, forgotten by his peers. Yet the seed he sowed in love and tears Shall bear rich harvests through eternal years." I beg to place this humble wreath on his tomb to-day. C. F. McKesson. It depends upon the pill you take.
