It is a true and a pegnant say ing, that ‘‘Peace hath its victories not less renowned than war.” It is equ .lly true, though uot always remembered, that eveu in war the patriot at home engaged in the civil and even in the industrial service of his country, has a part, lees conspicuous, but not less toon orable and not less necessary to the ultiin »te success of her armies, than the part of toe soldier in the time of battle. Last year you com memorated him who among the SOM of Edgecombe attained the highest rank and the greatest fame as a soldier; today I am to speak of him who attained the highest place in the civil history of our State Henry Toole Clark, governor of North Carolina in 1861and 1862. We have been a stationary pop ulation, we people of North Caro lina—stationary as to locality. We live, as a rule, about where our fathers and grandfathers lived. Some years ago in the Chapel of the University of North Carolina at > hapel Hill, President Battle called my attention to the fact that among the young men before us representing Edgecombe families were descendants of every one of the five men who in 1776 repre sented the county in the Halifax Congress, which formed the first Constitution of North Carolina. I am reminded of this wheu I take up the life of Governor C lark, a d examine tbe sources whence it spruog. They all lie in or very close about fhe county where ho was born, lived and died. [lib paternal grandfather Christopher Clark, had acqui.ed a competence in trade between London aad North Carolina immediately preceding the Revolution. Letters and papers of those days, still extant, show him in friendly and confidential relations with the best men of the Eden ton section, who transacted much of their important business through him. Retiring from trade he settled at “Elmwood” on Salmon creek. Bertie, adjoining the beautiful place Avoca, so well known of late years as the delightful home of | Dr. William Capehart. Elmwood is now occupied. I believe, by a sis- ( ter of Dr. Capehart. Christopher . Clark married Hannah Turner, oi , a prominent Bertie family, and of this marriage one son came to ( maturity, James West Clark. James W. Clark was graduated at Princeton in 1796, In 1802 and 1803 he represented B-r*ie county in the House of Commons. In 1801 he bad married ^krabella Toole, ■ eldest daugheer of Henry I. Toole and Elizabeth Haywood, of Edge combe; and shortly after 1803 he removed to this count}. In 1810 and 1811 he represented Edge combe in the House of Commons, his brother in-law, Henry I Toole, Jr., being Senator from the coun ty. In 1812 he succeeded Mr. Toole in the Senate, in which he contin ued nntil 1815, when he was elect ed to represent this district in Congress. Having served one term , he declined a reelection, and re turned home. In 1828 he waB chief clerk in tbe Navy Department nufier Governor John Branch. When Governor Branch, siding with Mr. Galboun in his quarrel with the President, retire*! from office, his chief subordinate, Mr. Clark jetired finally to private life and to his h <me in Tarburough. James W. Clark was a man of ability, culture and high character faking his place naturally in the first rank of social and political life; but of essentially a refined and gentle nature, accepting with due appreciation the position of trust and honor conferred upon him, performing the accompauing duties with diligence and efficiency, but never vexing himself with an eager desire or qujest for such prizes. As illustrating tne talents ana the mutnal affections and sympa thy of the brilliant young brother iu.law, James W. Clark and Henry t. Toole, Jr. Governor Swain used to say that Edgecombe county was theLonly place, he had ever heard of, where it took two meu to make a speech. He said that upon one occasion Henry I. Toole and daffies W. Clark were appointed to make aPomth of July oration in Tar bo ough, and ihat one wrote it and the other spoke it. One of the older members of the family has told me that from what she remem bers and has heard of her two uu cles, their special qualities and abilities, she thinks it probable that Mr. Clark wrote the oration and that Mr. Toole spoke it. Henry I. Toole, father of Mrs Clark, was the son of Lawrence Toole i of EdgeCombe, and was named after his maternal uncle, Henry Irwin, Lieu*. Col. of the Fifth Regiment of the North Carolina Continent il Line who was killed at the battle of Germantown in 1777. He was himself a Captaiu in the F(irst Regiment of the Con tineutal Line. His wife Elizabeth was a daughter of William Hay wood, of Edgecombe, appointed Colonel of the county at the be ginning of the Revolution, a mem ber of the Provincial Congret-s at Halifax in 1776, aud a member of the Committee wh:eh drew up our original State Constitution c f 1776, | which as amended by the Consti tutiou of 1835 remained our"fun j dameotal law until 1868. Wil'iam | Hay wood was a son of John Hay ! wood, the first of the name in North Carolina, who had come iu from Barbadoes by way of Wil milgtou about 174d, and who held the very important office of Treas urer of the North half of the Prov ince. When Raleigh was estab lished as the seat government the f ur brothe* of Elizabeth, namely, John, Sherwood, ■ Stephen and William Henry, settled in Raleigh where they have still many de scendants. The aufiject. of this address, whose ancestors are that seen to have been identified with this im mediate sectiou and chiefly this county, from their first settlement in America, was born just oue^ hundred years ago today, Febru ary 7 1808, oq his father’s farm on Walnut creek, eight or ten miles gbove Tarbo rough. I remember an incident of hi* childhood which he once related to me. During the Avar of 1812, his father was Major in the local mili tia -regiment. Fears were enter tained of a descent by the British on our eastern coast, and every eifort was made to increase the discipline and efficiency of neigh boring militia regiment** Frequent musters Avere ordered, and the field officeis were required to appeal iu full regulation regimentals, some thing quite gorgeous in those days. Upon the first occasion of donning this panoply of glorious war, Maj. t'larA took his little son, then about six years old, behind "him ou his horse, and proceeded along the piney wooas road to the appointed muster grounds. They soon over took one of their country Neigh bors, a private with gun ou his shoulder, also bound for the gen ral master. The soft sandy road rendered the horse hoofs inaudable an til they were within a hundred yards of the pedestrian. Lookiug behind him he beheld the splendid warlike apparition. For one mo nent he stood transfixed Avitfi terror then darting into the woods be ducked to cover behind an im nense piue fifty yaids from the road. Amazed at such behavior ilie Major drew up, and calling bis neighbor by name inquired the ;ause of his flight. For a moment ihere Avas no respooge. Then reas sured by the familiar voice and by learing his own name, he cauti >usly put out his head from behind lis sheltering tree, and took a look. In a moment he had recognized the familiar face and its kindly ex pression, and slowly emerging from lis place of refuge, with a blessed si^h of relief, he exclaimed, “Maj. s that you! W hy, Sir, I thought it was Bonaparte.” Perhaps a few persons present remember the church building which stood iu what is called “the ild chnrch yard” originally built for an Episcopal church, it was for so long unclaimed and unused shat it came fioally to be consid ered common property. About L819 an eccentric Englishman the Rev. John Phillips resided in rarboroogh, and officiating us rec tor of this ehurch, you will see him described as such on a grave stone in the old chureh yard-, He had come to America originally as me of John Wesley’s lav preacher 3 but when he louud that the ‘ Meth idist Society,” as Wtsley always jailed it, Avas separating from the jhureh in Avhich both the Wesleys were ministers, Mr. Philips was irdained by Bishop Moore of Vir ginia, then in charge of this Dio lit se. Mr. Phillips had been a ward if the Rev. (Jhas. Wesley, the author of so many noble hymns. Mr. George Phillips, about tbii time taught a classical school in Tarborough, and Henry Toole Olark probably began his classical studies under Mr. George Phillips. He also attended for a time a school in the toAvn of Louisburg. Of this Louisburg school it is said that one of its Edgecombe patron answering an inquiry of the *cho l master as to if the branches lie wished his sou to'pursue, wivurto the careful pedagogue th t» he might put his sou “into t-ucb branches as he chose so hb kept him out of Tar river! ’ Wherevdr prepared, he entered the University of the State at the age of fourteen, and took his ba.h elor’s degree iu 1826 at the early age of 18, having for his c ass mates, among others, Daniel M. Barringer, afterwards miuister to Spain, ana Sara7! I. Johns -n, for many years the honored rector of St. Paul’s cHurch, Edenton. Sulsequently he st idled law in Raleigh w ith his di ti iguished kinsman. Mr. Wm. H. Haywood, Jr. alterwards United States Sena tor, and leader for the administra tion in the Senate during the Presidency of James Iv. Polk. This intimate association with Mr. Hay wood an able lawyer and briliaut .nan, and a politician already rising to leadership among the Jackson Democrats pf the Sta e, probably exerted a permanent aud important influence upon the young law student. It was almost at this very time that his father retired from public life ns a frkun of Governrr Branch aud Mr. t al houn upon their quarrel with President Jackson. For the rest of | his life his spmpathies were rather in opposition to the Federal ad ministration, and inclined him to side with the W hig party. It was probably 'under the influence of Mr. Haywood that the son became an ardent admirer and supporter of President Jackson and his poli cies, and thus found himself in' full sympathy with the prevailing sentiment of tie county, to which he returned after having been admitted to the bar. ^ I believe he never seriously set himself to pursue the practice of the law. His circumstances did not seem to require jt, and he had in herited from his father a mind and temi>er averse to the contentions aud rivalries of itfMfes-, atonal life. Neither father nor sod was a politician Jin the sense of having a hunger for place or pow er. He therefore devoted himself to his private affairs and to read ing, assisting hie father i.s occasion might require, and once aud again taking long journeys on horse back to Tennessee or to the South on personal or family business He entered sj mpathetiealiy into the social aud public life ol the couuty and town, and soon developed a love of his county and an intelligent interest in the his tory of the couuty and its people beyond what I have ever known in any other person. It was this unselfish interest in the history aud affairs of the coun ty and its people which drew him into puulic life. He was made Col / ouel of the county, a position them much regarded, anu in 1850 was' chosen practically without oppo sition to the State Senate. He was a man af independent position of very considerable political and general information and reading, the circumstances of his life had already given him quite an exteu sive acquaintance among public men, <and so oh all accounts he was prepared to be a useful aud credi. table representative of his county aud peop.e, and a useful servant of the public. Under our old Constitution there was no Lieut. Governor. The speaker of the Senate1 filled the unexpired term of a Governor who should die in office. In 1860 the Senator from Edgecombe was elect ed speaker of the Senate, and by the death of Governor Ellis July. 7th 1861 he succeeded to the office of the Governor of the State, in thp most critical period of our history as a State and as a people. The purely military problem be fore the people of the South at the beginning of the war, the handling and fighting of the soldiers after they had been put into the field, was the simplest and easiest pare of what we had to do. The raising of men, organizing, supplying and sending them forward; to keep in motion the whole complicated machinery of civil, political, com mercial and industrial life; that this corporate body might put power into the armed hand that it might strike, this was the heavier burden, this the more difficult problem and this was the part of those who remained at home. I shall not undertake to tell how all thi was done. I only wish you to observe that the glory of our arms, the luster which surrounds the memory of our noble soldiers, (had its foundation in the less seen and less admired, but not less real and necessary heroism and devotion ol those patriotic men aud women who at home bore '•their full share of the? burden and heat of the daj. l)avid of old was a patriot and a statesman, when he decreed that the profits of war belonged equally to those who went down to lhe battle, aud to those who abode by the staff Thus providentially called to the administration of the State government at the most critical period of our history. Goveruor Clark, addressed himself to the difficulties ui his position with courage, mteil geuce and patriot ism. The history'of his adminis tration is ttie history of the State from Jrny 7th 1861 to September 8lii 1862, when he was succeeded by Governor Vance. I cannot un dertake to tell the story. The story of North Carolina duriug Luat ter rible and oesperate struggle fills the noblest and most creditable page in tier history. The course pursued by he1' administrative autnorities comumuu a. uigujucu respect for her own rights and the rights of her citizens, * ith ah un reserved devotion to the cause which Bhe had espoused. The valor of her troops in the field was sus tained by the faithful diligei,ce with which the State provided for them and for their families to the >ery utmost of its power. A.11 ad mit and all must admire the self sacrifice and devotion of her people in maintaining to the last extremi ty a war for which they bad not Deen responsible and which they had vainly striven to avert. Some, idea, however inadequate of the ac lvity of the administration may be formed from the statement ihat during the first six months of Gov. Clark’s term thirty four regiments of State troops were raised, ofliced and sent to the war. In Moore’s History of Ni-rth Carolina the number is given as foity four, but this is arrived at I am quite sure, by counting twice, the ten regi ments of volunteers, which alter the expiration of their first short term of service reenlisted and were reorganized as State troops. I believe it is cone**“ d that North Carolina sfood at t’lev ry head of all the Southern St tvs i*i the provision made >>y her for sup plying the wants of h r s Hiers in Hhe field and oft their helpless fam ilies at home This duty, becom ing more urgent as time went, and as supplie^of all kinds grew dearer aqd scarcer, devolved cherfu ly upon the administration of Gov. Xihce. Upon to the Summer of ItSiif the pressure of want had not been very greatly felt. An * nobly did "our ‘‘great war ' <m »m nor” rise to the emergency when ft came and aDSwer the demands ©•' these dark days, By the purchase of the steamship Advance, an t by her success in running the blockade between Wilmington and the Biit isn ports in the Bahamas, Gov. Vance was able to do mncli for the relief of our soldieis in the field aud of their faithful wives and little children at home. I wish however to say that, de tracting no whit of the honor and gratitude due and ever to be fully rendered to Gov. Vaiu-e on this account, the administration of his predecessor is entitled to some part Af the credit for that good work. The late General James G. M atin, Adjutant General of the State un der Gov. Clark, told me some years ago that this scheme for the pur chase and use of a blockade run jiifigsteamer was suggested and taken up by Gov. Clark’s admin istration, and was not carried into effect simply because that admin istration expired before there had been time to accomplish it. Gov. Vance took up, and carried out nobly and • enelicently, s plan in herited from his predecessor. I make this statement upon the authority of General Martin Con sidering his character and his relation to our State government during this pt-riod, I have no doub.t of the substantial accuracy of his accouut. An experience which we had here in Taiborough, while not di rectly connected withtte person of the then Governor, may illus trate the difficulties incountefed, and the expedients resorted to be the authorities. Upon the capture of Newbern in the spring of 1862, Jhe United States officer in com mand paroled and sent into the Confederate lines below Tarbor ongh some fifty or an .hundred sick and wounded Confederate soldiers captured by him at Nawbern. Along with them he sent Dr. William A. Blount, a surgeon of the Confederate service, and our own eminent Dr. Pittman, who, I believe, had volunteered his ser vices in the Newbern hospital and so had falle.i into the hands of the enemy. These were a'l brought by a steam boat and lauded at Tar borough. There w as neither hospi tal nor barrack for their reception nor furnitures, fo< d, medicines, or supplies of any kind to m et (heir urgent necesssities. In ibis emer gency the authorities hail to put the sick and wounded soldiers into the Female Academy in the Com mous, they assigued oue patient to each family iu the town. The family to whom a mau had been assigned supplied his immediate necessities in the way of clothing, bedding etc., aud undertook also to send regular y the fooci need? d ready prepared for the patient. 1 remember my boyish feeliug of disappointment when a sick man was assigned to us, and not one of the wrounded heroes. This must have been a very inconvenient and unsatisfnctorv way of supplying the wants of a' hospital, but it has always seemed to me a most strik ing, and I may say beautiful ill us tratiou of how all our live* and means were welded toget her in oue common effort for the maintenance our cause. I remember with prJfcle' and T3atisra<-tion how three times a day I carried to the poor Scotch-Irish Presbyterian from Iredell county the scanty supply of food, all that in his sickness he could eat. A very trivial incident of those dajs impressed itself on my mem ory.

Mr. A. P. Williame, of Burnetts Creek, Ind., tells of an experience which he had with some hogs that had the cholera. ‘‘Five yea s ago,” says Mr. Williams, “I was in the employ of Mr. J. D. Rich ardson, Lafayette, Ind , as his barn foremau. Some fine hogs that I was feeding took the cholera. I give them Sloan’s Liniment and did not lose a hog. Some were so bad they would not d rink sweet milk and I was compelled to drench them. I have tried it at every opportunity since and al ways find it O.

I was very much i surprised on one occasion when | my uncle came to Tarbo rough for a *ho't visit, while residing in j ltal^ gh, as Governor, to see him I wearing a pair of these ‘‘wooden [soled” 'shoes. He seemed desirous - f encouraginff all efforts to find *ucw means and sources of supply fi r the pra-sing needs of all Upon the inauguration of Gov. Vance, Gov. Clark returned to his home in Tarborough, His only service in public position after that was one term in tbe State Senate in 186fi. poring General Fetter’s raid and his brief occupation of Tirbor f ough for a few honrs in July ’63 he came near being captured,his fami ly were robbed by au insolent sol (lier, and his property wantonly destroyed and carried oft’.

Chief Justice llullin, after retiring from his exalted position upon the Supreme bench, was for years chairman of the county court of Alamance. After 1888 I believe he never neld any kind of public position. He belonged to the older order. He spent the rest of his life with his family and friends, attending to his private and domestic affairs, providing for the necessities of his household aud for the education of hi* family. He had been pos sessed of an estate quite sufficient for the support of his family, aud for that unostentatious but gener ous and relined hospitality which he ever exercised.'In common with most men of his class his means were very greatly reduced by the results of the war. But his quali ties of mind and of heart were very little dependent on the chan ging circumstances of worldly fortune. He^neyer deserved or en joyed more fully the respect aud affection of all than during his advancing years aud declining fortunes. He was of a pure and generous nature, of refined but simple tastes and ’.mbits, of cultivated mind, of considerable reading, and of wide knowledge of public man aud pub ic affairs. He had from his youth lived in contact with the first men of his t me, and he had that kiud of familiar knowledge at first hand which made the con versation of our public men of the past generation so interesting and instructive, and Which the circum stances of our more hurried times seldom allow our present day pub lic men to acquire. His familiar discourse abounded in, ancedotes and reminiscence of men and events of national and historic interest, and he had acquired a fund of poli tical, historical, social and personal information, which made him an authority upou such subjects with a very wide circle of friends and acquaintance. _ He had collected a large mass of material in the form of bookd, papei-s and manuscripts, illustrat ing especially local and State his tory. When those who enjoyes the pleasure of frequent inter course with him, recall the char acter of his discourse, and the many items of curious and often valuable information with which his conversation abounded they cannot but regret that he did not employ some portion of this leis ure of his later years in digesting and recording the accumulations of his many years spent in dili gent, tho’ desultory investigation hnd inquiry. ■ Of his domestfc life it is not ne cessary that I should speak. In a wide circle of friends and kinsfolk he was universally honored and loved. P- rsoually to me he was kind and considerate to a degree which Sven now surprises and pu .z!es me a little when I think of ir.

There was in Rcberaonville, celebrated a beautiful home mar riage, at the residence of Mr. and Mrf. D. F. Roberson, when their daughter, Miss Hattie, became the bride of,Mr. E. D. Purvis, at 3.30 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 12 th, 1908. Many relatives and friends were present to witness the nuptials. The parlor had |been ’decorated very prettily for the occasion with ivy. When the hour arrived, the first to enter was Miss Lillie Jenk ins with Henry Roberson, then Miss Sal lie Everette with James Purvis, Miss Lillian Smith with Thomas Roberson, followed by the maid of honor and best man, Miss Lizzie Roberson, sister of the bride, and Haonibal Purvis, brother of the groom. The last to enter was the bride leaning :on the arm of the groom. The ceremony was performed by Eider M. T. Lawrence, of Hamil ton. ^ "The bridesmaids’ were charm mingly gowned in dainty cream colored dresses." The maid or honor was hand somely clad in Batten berg lace over white silk. The bride was exquisitely dressed in .Batten berg lace oyer heliotrope silk. After many congratulations the I party drove a distance of 12 miles, to the groom’s home near Hassell, in Martin county, where a most deligbtfni supper was served. The bride was one of the popular and charming young ladies of Robersonville, where she will be missed, especially in the home that she has left, as she was a companion of mother, father and sister, Miss Lizzie, who is now the only gii^l in the home. The groom is a prosperous and successful young farmer of Martin coun y. '''The occasion was one of much joy, pleasure, and happiness. The gracious hospitality and the win sotnene- s of the bride leaves a remembrance so pleasing that it will last many a day. Many friends and relatives wish for Mr and Mrs, Purvis, a long and happy life. Many gifts abundantly attested tbe.esteem of friends. v.Pt
