THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 11, 1917. THE NEWS AND OBSERVER 15 I BICKETT AT COLLEGE I Br DR. C. W. PASCHAL, I of Tli YYak Forc.t College Faculty. - -J Thomas Water Biekett, B, A, 1890, wa ehuaen Governor of North Carolina lui NovembeKby majority of fiSOOO; unprecedented in thia But. It may be well at thia time to review the principal ovent of hit life, that a may butter judge to what thia emphatic endorse ment of him is due. Mr. Biekett was born la Union county, Korth Carolina, in 1869, of good hardy Block, strong in moral and intellectual fibre. lie got the usual education of the North Caroliua country boy for whom til paxenta were willing to do their best. He entered Wake Foreat College In the fall term of the year 1886. Hie tudie the first year were Latin, Greek and mathematics. In hie Latin and Greek his average was about 95. He was nearly as good on his matheraat.es. The next year he continued these studies and added English literature Again his grades were good, averaging about 95 on every subject. In his Junior year he continued his Latin, Greek, mathematics, and English, and added physica, astronomy, and surveying. In this year he graduated, aa we called it then, that ia, completed all the course in Latin and mathematics. His average on Latin was US; on calculus 68. He held bia mark in Greek above 96, but was somewhat below' that figure on the sciences. In his Senior year he took courses in German Professor Bledd then professor of modern languages; was teaching his first e lasses" in the college at that time chemistry, soology geology, constitutional laar, political economy, physehology, ethics, logic and evidences of Christianity His average of the last four was 93, and on all above 90. Here one has a picture of his col lege work not a great number of sub jects, but those that developed moral and intellectual fibre, that called for labor in their mastery, and allowed no ahirking. Such .were the courses that Mr. Biekett chose to do and to do well But his class room work was not all by any means, of Mr, Bickett'a course In college. Never were our literary so cieties at a higher degree of efficiency than at the time he waa in college. He joined the Euzelian 8ociety and from the first waa a ready and able debater Be did the work of hia society with the same faithful purpose that he showed In his class' work. In consequence he was" chosen to represent bis society as first debater at the anniversary-of 1890. Well do the students of that day re member that delte. The question was. "Ought the United States to haTe a Railroad Commission f" The afflr native was supported by T. W. Biekett and R. L. Burns, the negative- by J. O Atkinson and E. W. Bikes. All seemed to us young giants. The record of the Secretary says that "after a long and warm debate," the question waa de cided in favor of the affirmative by a vote of 76 to 67. All the speeches wer great, but the rejoinder of Mr. Biekett was what won the debate. Already at this time, Mr. Biekett was ahowing the qualities that have aim gained him recognition aa one of the most forceful speakers of our State. He had a good command of language which he constantly Improved by hie work In the clnsa room and by careful reading His powers of analysis were strong; he saw points clearly and in proper re la tion, and waa able to make his hearer ee as he did. Another element in hi skill is a debater was his unbounded grace of hui.or. He used to bring eon Crete images in a most human way be fore his hearers and never failed to keep them interested. Again he was always in earnest. No speaker ever warmed to a cause he waa defending -with more enthusiasm than he,' and no one's enthusiasm waa more contagious t think it will be found that these are the elements that make hia speech' great today. But we must add one more aad that is hia great aympathetle in lerest with all classes of our people. I cannot undertake to give more than an outline of Mr. Bickett's work sine, ha left college. He taught first at Ma Hon, then at Winston. While at the latter place he began to study law. He completed his course in this subject at the University of North Carolina In 1903. He married Misa Fannie N. Yar borough, of Louishurg, November 29. 1898. He first ling out his shingle at Monroe, but soon removed to Dnnhury where he remained one year. In 1805 he located in Louisburg and later wk senior member" of the firm of Biekett, White and Malone. Mr. Bickett'a publie life waa begun as a member of the State House of Rep resentatives In 1907 8. Here hie ability was first generally recognised. In 1908 he championed (he candidacy of Mr, Ashley Home for the Democratic nomi nee for .Governor, and made the nomi nating speech at Charlotte, This speech did not win Mr. Home the nomination but one thing it did do it act that whole convention en fire and won the apeaker the nomination for Attorney Oenerml. "To this office Mr Bicke'tt was then elected and re-elected In 1913. : In it he has argued several important eases for the 8tate before the United States Supreme Court, and has done it with distinguished ability. During the campaign Just closed, ae cording - to Influential . papers of our Btate. Mr, . Biekett introduced.Jt.mew r In North Carolina politics. He let the negro oiestioa and - Reconstruction alone, and discussed live issues. He hsa recognized the right of the opposition to their views, and has treated them not as scoundrels, but as gentlemen, Thia method of speaking has Ixwn eompll mentary to Mr. Biekett. but no leaa com. plimentary to the1 people who have shown by their ballot their endorsement of It. As Governor, I think Mr. Biekett will seek to develop the State, aad he IK LINE UP FOR GREATER PROSPERITY M on the Farm as thousands of Progressive and Pros perous V-C Farmers have done by increasing their yields per acre without increasing their acreage.

At the business session the physicians also voted to remind Cumberland a rep resentatives in the legislature of the in justice being done Fayi't:eville by that section or the vital statiHtics law which charges all death in hospitals to the community In .which they occur, regard less of the origin of the disease. It is contended that Fayette- ills is a rartic ular sufferer in thia respect because of its excellent hospitals, which draw many people here from a wide territory of North and 8011th Carolina. In this way there are, of course, many deaths here which should not go into Fayette ville's death rate. The medical society's action is in line with the contention which ex-Mayor John Cl Oibbs has been making for some time, and it' i hoped that the legislature may be prevailed on to change the law, as there are many other communities in the State which suffer in the annie way.
