This i one place in North Carolina to which 1 have always de sired to eoiiie. A place famous in the history of North Carolina, yes, fa mous in the history of the I nited Stati s. famous ill the history of the wotld. Waxhaw. l'nion county. North Carolina, will be found men tioned in every history written in this country. It is famous for two things famous U cause Ixirn near this ssit was one of the most won derful men that lived 111 the tide of, time, famous U'cause there came from this section of Nor'h Carolina a company of men, the 2lth North Carolina regiment, that has made history. When 1 was first invited to conic here. 1 was told that 1 was to address the old soldiers. I never refuse if it is possible for me to attend a soldiers' reuuioii. Therefore, in my speivh I propose to address the soldiers and tell the prowess of the members of that celebrated regiment. Then I re ceived a letter asking me to address mi on the life and character of An drew Jackson. I feel this afternoon that I stand on almost sacred ground. The Hu guenot and the Anglo-Saxon, the Puritan and thet'awilier, the fathers flout whom we descended, came .icross the seas, their breasts inspir ed with the sentiment of democracy, that man was made in the image of his Maker, and desired U lie men nd freemen. They left the shores of Ihe old country before the feudal system was destroyed, and came upon these then hostile shores, cut, down the forests and built their little homes. Here they determined to get from under the "divine right of kings," and establish a government of their own, founded on justice, and righteousness, and the brotherhood of man, equal rights to all men and special privileges to none. TheS'otch-lrish peopie came along the streams from the coast inland. Nunc i if them came U this little set tlement. They were Presbyterians, and wherever you find a Presbyte rian settlement vou will find a church and a school house. These people were there at the signing of the Mecklenburg hvlaration. The lan guage of that declaration is similar to that of the leclaration of 177(1 la canse it was the language of the day. It was expressed by Patrick Henry in i tive me liberty, or give me leath." Nine years before that time there was born in that section, An- lrew Jackson. And it will not do now lor any man, Hie I liarleston New s and Courier or any paier, Ui say that Jackson was born in North Carolina. That is settled; it was set tled by the historians of the world. tou may take up any modern bis- Uiry in this country and they all say Jackson was born at Waxhaw settle ment, l'nion county. North Carolina. It needs no argument; there is no question about it. We have the af fidavits of three good women of this country who were present at his birth. A Remarkable Man. He was a remarkable man. Think of him; when he was only 13 years old he was in the battle of Hanging Itock. He managed to get a smatter ing of education, and having gotten a little he began to teach. Then he wended bis way to the town in which I live, and I have myself talked with an old negro woman who waited upon Jackson when be was studying law in Salisbury. He was the wild est boy that ever lived inthat coun ty. He was diligent io his studies, however, and would tell the truth under all circumstances. After he had gotten his license. Judge McCoy, under whom he studied, advised him not to stay in Salisbury, but to goto trie upper part of the county and be gin his practice.

As I sit lone to-night, my mind turns to a new-made gr.vp, in which sleeps all that is mortal uf my friend, Maj. I.. I. Andrews. For lmut twen ty years I have known and loved this nuslest pure hi-artisl man. I well re nirnilu-r when I tirst looked into hi tieniim face and rlaniied his hand. It was when a timid, shrinking girl em ployed as teacher in the srhool which he had rome to lake charge of that he clasped my hand and skr those wont of ritrurKcmtnt which I so much periled. Since then I have often tast ed of his hospitality uil have enjoyed the pleasure of having him and hia w ife as hnnnrnl guests within my own home and I think tenderly to-night of the deilghtful humor of this charming man, which luhblcd like a spring of pure water from the heart of this purr man. He wis always the same ready to greet you with a cheery word and note of encouragement. He was ambilioua to lie found fight ing evil and, wilh a courage and a de termination worthy of emulation, he attacked wickedness wherever it could tie found and hia influence will be miss ed in our church and conference which he so often attended and in which he felt such a warm interest. H was an orator of no mean ability. Ilia ap M'aranre w hen he arose to speak was magnetic and there was something atiout him that made men stop to lis ten. A more influential, a more wide awake superintendent of school, I have never met, and as the iron filing are drawn to the magnet, the rhildren Hocked to the school over which he presided. Many, yea, number will rise from the rultured ranks and bless the name of Maj. I.. I). Andrew-!, the christian gentlrmanwho gave them their inspiration to a higher and bet ter and more rultured life.; Hut the night of life has come to a close for this well beloved man, and soon it will close for all of us. We have often thought of the coming of death as Ihe dawning of a bright and desutiful day. Surely it was aurh for this faithful soldier of Ihe rruss. As I turn away from the new-made grave, to press on through tue ahadi of Ihe night of life, toward the dawn ing, I ran but aay : Sleep on beloved; sleep and take thy rest; Lay down thy head upon thy Saviour's breast; We loved thee well, but Jesus loved thee best. Good night. L. G. I,. To the Voters of l'nion County. There has been started by some evil ly inclined person a report, which has gained considerable circulation in this county, to tha effect that the county commissioners of Union county appro priated $1U0 to the tire company of Monro and that the fire company spent the money on a trip to Wilming ton attending the State r iremen s As sociation this summer, and getting on asprxe. It is a fart that the county rommiss ioners did appropriate f 100 to the fire company, or rather to the city oi Mon roe for the equipment, which equip ment would in case of disbandment of the company revert to the city of Monroe ?and the county of Union, and it did it In the exercise of a sound discretion for the protection of the county property in the eity of Monroe, which has the constant protect inn of the rtie department, which is a volun teer fire company. The city of Monroe has rpctit over $.10,1100 to secure a water supply for Ihe protection of prowrty within the limits of the cnrKration and hits issu ed bonds for the payment of that sum and more liraring interest winch is' paid annually. The citizens of .Monroe pay taxes to the town fur the purNise of supporting the lire department and its water works. The annual interest on this debt is 1 , SHU, tn-sidi the expense of furnishing wood fur its en gines and boilers which are kept tin d up all the time for an emergency in putting out tires and furnishing water to its citizens, as well as paying the employees who attend to its water sup ply, which costs probably more than $5,000 a year. The citnetis pay a tax to the town of tl.aTioti the flmiof pro perty, beside pnying fur all water used by them. The county Ims pro perty in the corporate limits of .XI. m roe worth Jill.Oeil or more, on w hich the county pays no taxes, while it has all the fire protection which any ritixen has, who pays 'for his protec tion. If the county should pay taxes on ila $Mi,(Mi0 worth of property, like other ritixens pay, it would pay $;t'i5 every year, but it pays nothing. And then the fact that there is a fire de partment protecting the property re duces the insurance un the county's property, so that it pajs leas insur ance than it otherwise would. The in surance companies will not insure pro- j perty for more than threefourths of, its value, so that there is one-fourth uf the county's property unprotected except as to the protection altorded by the fire company of Monroe. j So as a business proposition, when the county commissioners paid $luu Io the fire company for the protection of the county property in Monroe, they were doing their duty and saving ' money, Now as to the fire company spending the $!U0 appropriated by the county commissioners in a junketing trip to Wilmington, we desire to say that it : is alwolutely without truth and is false as the heart of the man who started the report. The money was given to the town and not to the fire company and no part of it was spent by the fire company in spreeing or on a junketing j trip to Wilmington or elsewhere. Com mon fairness requires that persona who start surh reports should know what they are saying and make state ments consistent with the true facts. A. M. CKOWKM., Chief. W. II. HOUSTON, Foreman. ' J.
