II' (HE WOOLDN'T KNOW ( X A TOUCH-POWN FCot ( rr ' fly - i "I nUlMnWUKY.C 34 Mr. E. L'. Shuford, who has writ ten a number of sketches of Hick cry and Catawba county citizens for the Record, has furnished tke ri-i-qrlntlft Observer with an article on the late Judge MJ. L. McCorkle of Newton, one of the most beloved men in this section of the state. It 'has been remarked of him that he al ways tried to prevent lawsuits, and many Catawba people can recall in cidents in which he got into his car riage and sought to compromise actions before they had reached a point where compromise was impos sible. He was one of ' the greatest men of his times and the sketch by Mr. Shuford will be of particular in terest to readers of the Record: Judge M. L. McCorkle, of Newton, was a grandson ,of Francis McCorkle, a gallant soldier at the battle of Rarasours Mill. He was born at Moutahi Creek, Catawba county, No vember 17, 1817. He was educated in the free schools and a graduate from Davidson college in 1843. He read law under Chief Justice Pearson at Mccksviile, and having received his license located at Newton, Ca tnwhn cfflintv. in 1846 to nractice. It might be well to look back and take a survey of Catawba ccurty about the time Locke McCorkle began his career at Newtcn. The changes that have occurred are hard tc realize, and must be r.cjented by faith, for although there are just a few of our citizens whose boyhood experiences turn them back to the 40s Hickory at that time was not or the map, and even many years af terwards, most of this township could have been bought at 25 cent per acre. We yet have a record that the Great Western stage line leaving Salisbury at 5 a. m. one day and ar riving at Asheville 8 p. m. the next, a journey of 39 hours, passing through Newtcn. In the early 40s there was not a daily newspaper in the state, and not a newspaper of any kind published west of Salisbury. If you wanted tc go to Washington for a trip you took a stage line. There were few con veniences, no telegraph lines. Trav elers stopped at taverns. The mer chants at Newton hauled their goods from Charleston, and even from Philadelphia, while not a few cf our farmers would haul their products tc Charleston jind Wjilmington which included their corn distilled or con verted into bacon for which they would exchange for groceries and dry goods. Money in those days would go a long ways. Beef sold for cents, coffee for 10 cents, tobacco for 8 cents, corn whiskey for 35 cents gallon, eggs 5 cents per dozen. Catawba county farmers used home m?;de trace chains and axes and even after, the civil war, the writer remem bers as a boy to have sold home made iron which was afterwards .made into plows, etc. One of these local forges near Henry "River was operated by A. L. Shuford. The Western North Carolina rail road supplanted the old stage line, but at first many people were afraid to ride 10 miles per hour, which was the- bast three enginees attached tc queer looking coaches could do. A fellow looked cn these cars then like many of us do on airplanes at present. Most of our judges as well as thr more prosperous citizens wore sill hats and clcse fitting dress boots Colonel McCorkle in his early prac tice at Newton bought his silk hati fr"m. Salisbury. There , were four hat factories in Rowan county at that time, and they made silk beavers that would put tc shame anything ,on today's market These hats would stand rain and sun shine and were wel worth the mon ey. They were worn by dignitaries and well-to-do's of Catawba county, Burke and Haupy Valley as well as- Rowan and adjoining counties. This was before the civil war. The price of hats in 1860, however, may throw seme light on the present range of unheard of war affected values. The late Sam Wiltkowsky in 186? was engaged in making hats ai Statesville, and sold these hats as high as $800 each and $5,000 per dcxen to merchants in Catawbs ccunty. Colonel McCorkle was elected clerk of the superior ccurt the year he obtained, his license in 1846 and held this office until 1S50. In that year he married Miss J. M. A. Wilf ong, the only daughter of the late John Wilf ong, of Hickory. Her grand father, John Wilfong, Sr., was a brave soldier in the revolution, and presidential elector in 1836. The mar riage of Colonel McCorkle was z manifold blessing, connecting him by ties with the large and influential family of Catawba Wilfongs and multiplied by sons and daughters of his own in a most delightful and rep resentative Catawba home. Jerome Dowd, of Mecklenburg county, now living in Oklahoma, and prominent m educational lines, mar ried Anna, daughter of Judge Mc Corkle. C. Dowd was collector of in ternal revenue of this district and at that time the office was located at Newton, Jerome was chief clerk. We all know the truth of the above pic ture. - . . ..

There is still time to join our Christ mas Banking Club. Come in before it is too late. - i-J Consolidated Trust Co. This was during Cleveland's first ad ministration. Colonel McCorkle raised a com pany at Newton and was elected cap tain. His company served in the23rd regiment of state troops, and later in the war he was elected colonel of the represent his district in the state senate, and was a member of the state constitutional convention in 1875. Judge McCorkle stood for the higher things in life. He was a sin cere Christian leader in the Reformed 2hurch and in educational forces One of the best and purest men, an able jurist, he was appointed judge of the superior court in the eleventh judical district by Governor Fowle. m I OrangeJelly) 8 iiW, I U Simple'-Delicious A ' a a ES IS RECIPE Soak lA package CHALMERS GELATINE in X pint cold water, pour 1 pint boiling water over soak ed Gelatine, add lA lb. sugar, juice of an orange, juice of 2 leniom.
