The bar of the State had become
convinced of this young man's abil
ity, his keen analytical mind, and
his power of expression. This rec
oguttion had come to him when he
had read a paper before the State
Bar Association. From that moment
he was the choice of that body. It
Is a mistake to say that his famous
speech nominating Col. Horn for the
governorship cuiainated him for At
torney General. That speech con
vinced the convention of what the
i!:ir Association already knew. The
convention rocognized that a young

Ills work in that can.-nli;n will
long be remembered. All people
heard him gladly. In the few
months of the campaign he placed
himself In the front ranks of vigor

new necessarily so, for he had
never been in a campaign before.
His riniaze was fresh, gleaned from
new fields. lie wjs unhampered by

heart of t lie matter. There are
some men who v.n never see the

Hickett is a student of the best
books. He is quick to manifest an
interest in every book bearing on
American political and constitution
al history. T!its. works feed him.
He does not confine himself simply
to his law books and the latest de
cisions of the courts. Such meth
ods may make a successful lawyer,
but It is not the method for making
a great man. In this respect the
English are superior to Americans.

In this age. He Is glad the fath
era fought the struggles that they
did and thinks that our duty Is now
to face the present with its new
problems. He foreseeth the evils,
but he does not hide himself. He Is
out in the front ready for the fray.
Then, too, he is well equipped.
He entered Wake Forest College In
1S86 where he spent four years, b
ing graduated in IV.o. He was
there along with E. J. Justice, H
A. Foushee, G. V. Ward. Claude
Kitchin. E. Y. Webb. H. A. Royster,
J. E. White, and others. He took
the regular course not excluding
Greek and higher mathematics. Af
ter graduation he went to Marion
to teach, where he was found by W
A. Ulair a few months later and
brought to Winston to teach In the
graded school. Hera he was allow
ed tho liberty to teach In his own
way, and this gave the opportunity
for his marked originality. But the
voice of the Law was continually
calling him. Her wooings were ir
resistable. After a short stay at
the I'nlverslty he secured license
and was ready for clients. The best
equipment that he had gained for
his profession came from his mater
nal uncle David A. Covington. Hi
had grown up under his influence
and tutelage. In him he saw a
man who prepared a case with thor
oughness, who fought it with ener
gy, and who was never caught off
his guard in a trial. This superb
model impressed the young attorney
with the idea that law was a Jeal
ous mistress who brooked no rival
and permitted no dallylngs. He be
gan the practice in Stokes county
at Dnnbury. but when n good open
ing appeared at Louisburg, Frank
lin county, he removed thither.
where has remained ever since. Here
he also met and married .Visa Fan
nle Yarborough. Franklin county's
authority on folks remarked to one
of Hickett's friends once: "Well.
your friend Bickett married ono cf
the finest women rained in Frank
lin county since the war." A few
hours in the delightful freedom of
the home readily convinces one that
t.ie old gent u man s remark w;is cor
rect. There is one child in the
home -a boy who has Just reached
the ae. when he transforms all the
manhood he touches back into boy
hood. To be away from this home
Is the chief sacrifice that public life
compels Bickett to make. He has
that good quality of citizenship love
for his home, and no place is so
dear to him as his "owu vine and
fig treo."
This trait of his character colors
his views of civilization. It keepa
him in close touch with the funda
mental basis of our civilization. He
thinks that it rests on the little
farm tilled by the owner. He would
liko to see every tenant the owner
of his own farm. He agrees with
Art her Young's famous saying that
"the magic of property converts
sand Into gold."
Ho served one term In the legis
lature five years ago. He was known
as a "progressive conservative." He
was not always in the bell-tower
ringing the alarm; neither was he
In tho cellar while the throng pass
ed by. Nevertheless, he was at the
fire And was a fighter. He is a
leader safe and sound. The more
the peoplo know of him the more
they like him. So far hs hns
served well, and the Democratic par
ty realizes that it has gained in
him a valuable asset. His philoso
phy of life is such that his happi
ness will never depend on holding
office, thereforo he will never be
come an office seeker.
He Is the "Little Olant" of North
Carolina politics today. He will
make good wherever he Is placed.
His friends never feel any uncasi
ness that he will not hold his own

To build a buggy, that combines style, comfort, finish and durability

tory is located in the famous Piedmont section of North Carolina-the
-best timbered section in this country; our machinery is of the latest
improved patterns; every man in our shop is a. skilled mechanic, and every
inch of material used is carefully selected and inspected by experts. These
are some of the conditions that go to make Piedmont Buggies the heightfrf per
fection in buggy building, i '
. We have studied carefully the requirements of buggies in the South, and
endeavor to construct our Piedmont Buggies to meet these conditions-they are
built in the South, by Southern people and for the Southern people.
Piedmont Buggies will give you better service,
last longer, and cost less to keep up.
