HACKETT STRIKES

Bryant Reflected on Hack

Raleigh, Feb. 26. This afternoon
while the House committee on cities
and towns were hearing a discussion
on a bill providing for a bridge across
the Yadkin river, in Wilkes county,
which Congressman-elect R. N. Hack
ett, of the Eighth district, was pressing
and Representative Bryant, of Wilkes,
was opposing, the latter stated that Mr
Hackett had been inaccurate in his
presentation of the facts. Hackett asked
Bryant if he meant to call him a liar
The latter not directly disclaiming such
an imputation, Hackett proceeded to
pummel him, striking him several
blows, the two clinching, and being
separated by members of the commit
tee.
Later, as Dr. Bryant went around
towards where Hackett was -standing,
Hackett made another assault, but his
blow was a glancing one.
There was much excitement in the
hall of the House, but neither the con
gressman or legislator were arrested.

The people still rule!
Platforms are made to stand upon
as well as get in on!
The Senate forfeited the confidence
of tjhe railroad lobby last night and
won. the approval of the people of
North Carolina.
The Senate Chamber was crowded
last night as it has not been crowed
th & session. The Conference Com
mittee's report, including the bill re
ducing rates was the . special order.
Th3 opponents of rate reduction, were
ready to leave no stone unturned to
wink. The platform keepers were re
solved to win and redeem their
pledges. It was a scene that will not
soon be forgotten. The House almost
adjourned and passed into the Senate.
Ladies filled talle the galleries and made
a fcrieht picture. The lobbies were
packed.
It was the last battle of the many
that have been waged. Hardly had
the Senate been called to order when
tho contest began. Senator Daniel,
chairman, clearly presented the . rea
sons that caused the committee to pre
pare the bill submitted. The Lieuten
ant Governor ruled that the report of
the committee must be adopted or re
jectecfas a whole and was not open to
amendment. That ruling was expect
ed. In fact it was so plain that no pre
sidiner i officer could rule otherwise.
But it was made the occasion the ex
cuse lor sucn a penormance as is
rarely seen in the Senate Chamber, and
an earnest attempt was made to nave
the ruling of the chair reversed. Why?
Not many Senators wished to go on
renrd as ormosiner rate reduction. If
the report must be voted for or against
they had to face the music and vote
straight. If it were open to amend
ment, the ifieht against rate reduction
could be kept up until the Senate ex
pired, with no bill enacted.
The criticism upon Lieutenant Gov
ernor .Winston brought forth speeches
that were full of righteous indignation
Senator after Senator commended his
course and every utterance of ap
proyal evoked applause from the gal
leries. the lobbv and the floor. H,ven
the clerks forgot themselves and ap
olauded tributes to Judge Winston
and once there was not only applause
hut loud cheers and hurrahs as sena
tors spoke and replied to the criti
cisms made upon him. It was a trib
ute deserved and it was pleasant to see
that it was participated in by ladies in
the eralleries as well as by members of
the House and Senators. The people
understood the true situation and they
honored the man who stood fordoing
the Richt Thine in the Right Way at
the Right Time.
The test vote was on the motion

to
reverse the ruling of the chair. The
opponents of real rate reduction must
ered 18 votes to over-rule the Lieuten
ant Governor. That was the testing
time. Of course some who voted that
wav wanted some reduction, but most
of them seemed determined to have
onlv the sort of reduction that suited
their personal preference or let all
reduction fail.
When the fight failed, and it was
the 2 1-4 cent or nothing, quite a num
ber of Senators who had been insisting
upon their personal views voted for the
bill, for which 28 votes were cast.
It was a hard fight and a great vie

DENATURED ALCOHOL
No one who has ever experienced the
relationship of master and slavecan hav
a true idea of the affection, mutual
dependenee'uponeach other and a love,
similar in many respects to parent and
child, that existed between them.
Those who have experienced such a
condition will soon have passed away
from the affairs of this world. Who
has ever known a slave, man or
woman, who was grown when the war
was ended, that was not polite, indus
trious and ever respectful? Search the
records of our courts and the search
will be in vain to find any of them
charged with criminal oifence; and
while slavery was an institution that
few will now advocate, yet it, indeed,
was a blessing to the negro. It lifted
him from his low estate in his native
land, brought him in contact with
civilazation and placed him on a higher
plane than any negroes have experienc
ed in the annals of history in their na
tive land. I will not write of the negro
and slavery. It is a subject too preg
nant with facts for this article, but
these thoughts are suggested by the
death, last Sunday, of an old slave of
my late father.
Last Sunday, Feb. 24th., old "Uncle
Bob" Lane bid adieu to this world.
Quietly and peacefully his spirit wing
ed its flight from the prison home of
the body. For nearly a century he had
dwelt among us. Many are the inei
dentsjhe could relate of events that none
now know of by personal experience.
Honest, faithful and true. May he rest
from his labors under the shade of the
trees.
I have thought if there be recognition
beyond this life, twhat ecstacy of
joy there would be when "Uncle
Bob" should greet his old master in
the realm s-ef'-light. Hew they would
talk of what has been. How each
would have many questions to ask. I
know that "Uncle Bob" would be glad
to meet his old master, for he has told
me that he wished that he and his
old master were back in the old home,
that freedom to him was the worst
slavery he had ever experienced.
Born in 1816: died in 1907. How few
have lived so long. Witness the changes
that have taken place. Then this sec
tion was a comparative wilderness:
Then the stage coach had not come: now
steam cars and electricity. But in all
the changes, man remains the same.
Human nature never changes. The
same ambitions and aspirations ever
hold control of the human heart, and
sad, indeed, is it when one with whom
we have been thrown in affectionate
association of a lifetime, is wrested
from our sight.
Old "Uncle Bob" is gone, but his
memory will never be obliterated: nor
of the times when he and his faithful
wife, who yet lives, were faithful, con
tented slaves at the old home when the
writer was a boy, and bow "Uncle
Bob" came to me when I was in the
army.
All the proclamations of freedom
would never have caused him to waver
in his loyalty, for when the war ended,
he with the rest of my father's slaves,
except two, remained with us. They
loved him as a master and they were
true and loyal when the bonds were
severed.
My earnest wish from the bottom of
my heart is that old "Uncle Bob" may '
rest in peace.
Bill is
Passed by Tenate;
65 to 1.
Vote
Washington, D. C, March 1 The de
natured alohol bill passed the Senate
today by a vote of 65 to 1, Senator Pet
tus, of Alabama, casting the negative
vote. This action was taken after the
committee amendment requiring the
presence of a government storekeepe
wherever alcohol is being manufactured
had been defeated by a vote of forty
seven to sixteen.
The bill as passed contains one amend
ment placed in it by the Senate, that
permitting . rum to be denatured, and
consequently the measure must be re
turned to the House for action. The
bill is intended to make it possible for
farmers to establish stills of limited
capacity for the manufacture of alcohol
to be denatured.
Poor and once a slave,
With a heart ever brave,.
True and honest while dwelling here,
May happiness be his lot in the un
unknown sphere.
