Pritch&rd, win ? born ? hi Jo?e?boru,
Tenn., April 12. 1S57. his father beings
of Irish and Welsh ancestry, and his
mother. Elizabeth Browne, of Irish
parentffigfcr
Facing the problem of obtaining an
education during the trying days of
reconstruction in the south, and fol
lowing the death of his father at Mo
bile, Ala., his mother instilled into his
mind and heart those sfern precepts
of morality by which he has ever
been governed. Judge Prltchard, yet
I in his teens, walked 35 miles across
the mountains of east Tennessee and
western North Carolina to Bakers
ville, where he arrived with 10 cents
and nothing more save the clothcs he
wore. Eking out his' subsistence th
rough toil in the print sl.op by day.
a desire to achieve fame prompted him
to by night search such text book*
as wer obtainable.
Entered Politic* In 1HN.>.
It was then that he received the at
tention of statesmen in North Caroli
na and identifying himself with the
Kepubllcan party, began a carreer,
the prominence and limitations of
which were only stopped by his call
ing to a reward for services rendered
humanity.
Entering politics he was elected to
the North Carolina house of represen
tatives from Madison county in 1885,
and again in 1887. Pursuing his me- j
'hod of home study until master of
lilackstone and legal procedure he
obtained law license in 1887.
In 1888 he was nominated as Re
publican candidate for lieuXenant gov j
ornor of thJs state. Ho then became
the caucus nominee of his party for
the senate of the United States, and
was re-elected to the legislature in
1891.
He was elected for a two-year term
to the United States senate in 1895,
which he served, and whs elected to
the six-year term in 1897 which he al
so served.
The establishment of the farmers
alliance at this time and its coalition
with the populist party brought about
a change In the political situation and
he succeeded in consolidating the fac
tion Into a ^-operative campaign and
the state went Republican.
On April 1. 1903, he was appointed
by President Theodore Roosevelt to
the Supreme court bench of the dis
trict of Columbia. Upon the death of j
Judge Slmonton. the President ad- i
vanced Judge Prltchard to the judge
ship of the United States clrcuft court
for the fourth district. April 9. 1904. |

death.
As national committeeman and as 1
federal judge the jurist received na- I

fall was prominently mentioned for

and at the Republican national con- i
ventlon was given a complimentary,
vote. i

AN OPEN LETTER.
To the Citizens of Louiaburg:
Immediate reilfcf irum the lunditl- 1
ons prevailing at the Graded School,
is in my judgment the most pressing
rna-ponyrtp Ti*-+-ymUhiirg i
today. Doubtless tomorrow will bring
other problems, but these can be
dealt with as they arise. This mat
|ter cannot be delayed without serious
anri prnhaniy inu to tut?
-fHrminunlty, Thnf ^nrh "Dlendld woi?
has been, and is being, done by the
wchool under ? conditions so unfavor
able ytrh facilities so utterly in
adequate is a striking tribute to the"
ubilitj i?wd devotion of Prr>f MtiU and
~.nrr?>rv.rag ^pac?crs, aml_- off rr*--- a
I valuable suggestion as to what might
_bfe done were the conditions reversed.
Fa^i I itles o rlginally deslgilW Tor a
grammar school of about 150 pupils
are being made to do* duty for about,
twice that number, plus a standard
Hip-h srhr>ni Wjth neither room nor
equipment for chemistry, physiia. flu
| mestic science or commercial class
jes. the faculty are expected to turn
out graduates of the High. School de
i partment, the equal of schools where
| such things are accepted as matters
of course.
Without a library of any kind, with
out study rooms or apparatus, classes
'studying and reciting in the same
j rooms, classes meeting in the Audi
I torium and tramping through, the
I halls and from house to house. Now
[is it to be expected that any effective
^discipline T7m be -mjiiatained or
sure-enough work performed. The
day has forever passed when a univer
| sity can be said to be composed of
, "Mark Hopkins on our end of a log
and a student Oh the ? other. ' The
| coTTrmercfttl world? the . universities^
I :>nH rhp general nuhlic demand more
of our students tfian llrese meagre
' facilities afford and the demand is in
| my humble judgment and speaking
"from the inside" the time has come
[for us-to frankly aeeept-the alterna
!tive: Either * adequate equipment
fnnd apparatus or abandonment- of the
"High Qfhuul and, version to th>>
1 grammar grades only. The latter -al
Iternative is. of course, untliinkabie,
'and I am sure will not for a moment
; be entertained by the thinking and
I progressive- -panpjj? of this splendid
I community. All over the State, our
T people, realizing that the mental eq-.
'ldnment for the battle of life ends, for
? the Viisr. majority of our young peo
? nle. without High School. are voting
funds and increasing facilities for this
work and Louisburg, the leader in so
many other lines of endeavor cannot
.afford, even at a sacrifice, to lag be
? hind" the [uli^eiialgg^gmt dunv ui-our
i bright young people what is so neces
sary and what is being 30 fully offer
;ed by communities- far less a'ole than
j we are. We can afford to deny our
selves" many things but this wj can
not do without at the same tim-? rob
, bing our young people or a portion of
their birthright and stultifying our
selves. With your permission I shall
'hope to have something to say at a la
ter date on this important matter.
Respectfully,
Wm. R. BCRKKLL.
