W. C Bow man, a Methodist minister of some fame, whose daughter the young printer wooed and won. In a few 'years a new paper, the Roan Mountlan Republican, '. was atarted and young Prltchard became one of the joint owners, and still a few years later, in 1878, he became a farmer and took up the study of Jaw, ardently de voting his evening and rainy day to It. Before he was of age he canvassed Mitchell county for the Republican party and In 1880 he was chosen a State elec tor for Garfield and took an active part In the campaign of 1882. In 1884 he was elected t) the legislature and in 1886 waa again general elector. ' In 1888 . he waa Republican candidate for lieutenant governor and in 1890 was again elected to the legislature and waa the caucus aomlnee for United Statea Senator against Vance. r In 1 894 he organised the co-operative movement and can vassed the State, and was elected by the senate to fill oat the unexpired term of Zeb Vance. Ia 1897 h waa re-elected, to the alx-year term, which he I now aerv lng and which will expire on March 4th, 1903. He waa licensed to practice law In 1887 and oon acquired a large 'and lucrative practice, and aaya he made a good deal more money then than he 4oe now. '-.'ji-m 'trV-'.-s' j.:;V: It wfil beaeen that Senator Prltctaard'a riee baa been a steady one and 1 the re sult of his Indomitable courage and per slstent work, both of which chaeacter- lattcaare ahown In hfa undertaking auch a hopeless task as thla Joint canvas with auch a maa aa Locke Craig, What ever may be aald of the way be makes tools of the foolishly disgruntled Demo crate and turna every poarifolea)olnt there ia no room to doubt that himself la a rock ribbed and whole hearted Republi can which ia much better than being just a plain kicker. ' -Senator Prltchard is stockily built, hae a full, round face with froa gray hair and mustache. Courage and -determination are depicted on every line f hi feature and hi eye 1 aharp" and piercing. He is genial and wholeeouled in manner and' appear the born leader and fighter that he la. That Mr. Craig la on of the ablest po litical apeakera of the state ia recognised wherever be ha addreaaed aa audience. Striking in personal appearance, poe- ssselng a fine, aonorou vote endowed with great Intellectual powers splendidly trained, thoroughly la sympathy with the common people, well Informed on po litical history and current political Issue, quick to take advantage of any openings afforded him by hi adversary, apt In repartee and armed with wit, humor, sarcasm and ridicule, Mr. Craig will not only measure up favorably with any of hi forensic contemporaries, but he will compare favorably with the atate'a great campaigner of former day. v Wherever he I known ha ia recognised as a friend and champion of the right of the people and the people love and trust In the revolution which resulted ln'the redemption of the State and In the adop tion of the amendment, Mr. Craig waa one of the leading spirits. From the day when ha and Governor Aycock opened the campaign of 1898 in the county of Richmond, until the complete triumph of 1900, he waa among the very foremost wherever the fight waa fiercest. He has never dodged o? been afraid to take his stand on one aid or the other of public questions, and then to fight for his poel- tlon with all hi strength. Hfa atrength la of the poaiUva and not of the negative eort. Thla great quality of political courage ha endeared him to the fighting Democracy of the State. i f': While a member ol tna general aseem bly Mr. Craig took a leading: part In all the Important legislation and Introduced many measures of State Importance. Ha waa the author of the law domesticating foreign corporations. . He rewrote and revised the school law of 1899 and Intro duced the "Jim Crow Car" bill, which la now the law. He also Introduced the resolution into the house Impeaching the judges, and advocated ite passage In a speech which Dr. Kingsbury In an di to rial In the Wilmington Messenger, pro nounced the most Important that he had read In twelve year.

Opening of Rhode' Bobool Poat- ponad Until Tomorrow. ' ' The opening of the Klnaton graded schools today waa marked with enthu siasm and perfect amoothness. Not a hitch occurred in any department to mar the great Interest which waa manifested by both teacher and pupils, as shown by the Increased attendance. Between four hundred and aeventy-flve and five hun dred young people of various age en tered on the flrat day of achool, which la a considerable Increase o ver the opening last year. This meant of course a large number of pupils, and necessarily more work waa required to place them In their proper classes, but everything waa go ing ao smoothly at 11 o'clock when vis ited by Free Press reporter that It ap peared aa If the achool had been atarted some time. v Three hundred and seventy-five of the pupils were at the Klnaton graded school building and about one hundred at the old college building on East street. Prof. L. C. Brogden, the superintendent. Is very enthusiastic and thinks that the attendance for this session will be largely In excess of any previous year. Prof. W. H. Bhodes' school waa also visited by the reporter, but owing to the fact that they were not quite ready the opening waa aet for tomorrow. The pro fessor reports that his opening will be geeater than he expected, a number of yovng men from other counties applying for tuition and board at hla place. ' . Burled Alive as Play. ... Monro apodal to Charlotte Observer: A moat distressing occurrence took place at Ansonvlile, in Anon county, late yea terdav afternoon. It waa nothing lees than the burial alive of a eeven-year-old boy by hi companions. A number of children were playing "bury the dead" In a large pile of aeed cotton. They scooped out a big hoi and put one of the little Mow Into It and covered him up, tightly packing the cotton aeed over and around him. ' By and by they dug him up, when It came time to change the game, and the little fellow were horri fied to find that their little playmate could not move when they took th cot ton off him. They pulled him out of the bold and found his body cold. The Inno cents had amothered him in the cotton pile and knew not what they had done until they had run and told some other people about It.
