Brethren. let us thank. God and take courage. We have gotten that near together, and the thought of so soon seeing Katy and the baby pierces the gloom of separa tion and points the silver lining In the rift beyond. ' "I can best give expression to my feelings by telling you a story that happened In the long ago among the blue hills of Scotland. All who are fa miliar with Scotland's history know what a powerful Influence the "clans" exercised on the political fortunes of that country, and more than once crowned heads have sought their aid andinfluenee. And as it happened to us a few years ago here in North Car olina, so It sometimes happens to them. When united they were invincible, but often divisions arose followed by bloody feuds and combats, and It was during one of these unhappy periods.- The leaders realizing how unfruitful ' of good their wars-and estrangements, de cided to bury their animosities and henceforth live together as brethren.

SllT.r SttU. f O.ul. .A touching Incident was the presen tation to Speaker Gattis of a handsome and costly silver service, the gift of the members of the House. The speech of presentation was eloquently made by Governor Doughton. who saia: The future can only be solved by faith, the present by work. That fact has been exemplified here during the work of the past two months. This Is a strenuous life. I has been empha sised by the work ef this General As sembly. For slxtj-itwo days we have been In session. One hundred and twenty members. representing the ninety-seven counties of the state, coming together throbbing with the life and energy qT oar great and be loved commonwealth, have mingled here.

In behalf of the rnmbers of this General Assembly, whose commission I bear, to resent to him as a feeble token of our" love, henor and esteem. this silver service, and to express the hone that when all Is over In this world and we have .all passed "over the river we may meet him in that land where there will be no call for the pre vjous question and no demands for the ayes and noe." (Applause.) When Sneaker Gattis arose It was hard to tell what he Was' going to do, His face-showed openly the great emo tion that possessed him." lie said: "Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House: "It is with mingled fee'.Iners of pleas- urea and sadness' that I rise to accept this handsome present that" you have bestowed upon me and al.o to return my profound thanks. Mr. Speaker, on account of this honrseiies I am unable to say what I want to say. I desire to say that In this; the closing hour of the General Assembly, that I want ev ery member to know that I have noth- Inr but the best 'of feelings In my heart for every one of them.

"I wish to return thanks to the Re publican members of this assembly for the resolutions that they passed on Saturday. Although they have been few In number, I assure you that I have at all times as speaker of this body known no party. Each man rep resents his conntyand they are all North Carolinians. (Ixmd applause.) Caa rr Der)cepar Ksrr Another touching Incident was tha presentation of a beautiful gold-headed cane to Capt. John H. Carr, the one legged ex-Confederate soldier, who has so conscientiously performed the du ties of doorkeeper during the session. The gift was made by the pages and laborers of the House and presented by Mr. Smith of Gates In his own char acteristic style. Mr. Smith said he regretted that he had not had time to prepare a speech, but when words are to come warm from the heart they need no hack neyed phrases or rhetorical flourishes. I am commissioned for a special pur pose. On the first night I was im- pressed with the idea that I should support Captain Kerr for doorkeeper. have the honor now to present to him a beautiful gold-headed cane. - He served his state well in war; he haa served us Well here. Nothing is more appropriate than to present a staff to a one-legged Confederate soldier. Captain Kerr's response was feeling. He returned his sincere thanks for having been chosen- to this position. He said he had tried to do his duty. and was greatly touched by this gift. coming from the employes under him. They have been faithful and efficient. Captain Kerr was the recipient of that Blackstone tells how that parties went upon the premises', to be convey ed and the feoffer delivered to the feoffee a clod er piece of turf in token of delivery of the premises" described In the deed. And. now," Mri Clerk, in consideration of the faithful and skill ful discharge of your duties, and in further consideration of your uniform courtesy to all whose labors have touched yours, I now declare by virtue of authority vested In me and by this token, you are enfeoffed of the esteem. good will and affection of every mem ber of this body without condition, limitation or reservation." Mr. Hackett replied in a speech of thanks." He said: I wish that my tongue was like the pen of an able writer to allow me to express my appreciation of the beau tiful gift." He then spoke of his appreciation of the Democratic caucus in appointing him and giving him the, chance to be of service to them. "I assure you," he continued, "that this Is a proud day in my. life, and when I go home I will go with the feel ing that I have been here "among as great a body of men as ever came to the House of Representatives."

I assure you I will never revert to a more pleasant association. Yeuy are men as honorable, faithful, conserva tive and as zealous as ever stood In this hall. I love you all." Here Colonel Lucas referred very prettily to Speaker Gattis as our great. grand and noble speaker, and won hearty applause. Just here the Colonel, breaking from the trend of his speech, said: 'l want to propoae a toast to the ladies. You ladiee, are the sweetest flowers that bloom" on North Carolina's soil. . (A general rose-tinted blush swept o er the faces of the "flowers" in the gal lery.) The toast 'was: "Here's to the bride-to-be ever charm ing, beautiful and fair. Here's to the one whp would like to be. and is wondering when and where." We realize the arduous duties and the grave responsibilities resting on .you; and while we have tried to do our part, vre feel that we have fell far short, The court also granted today the ap plication of.

"As you; . have been presented with a staff to"?use until you go to the Shadowy Land, . I here present you with this china set. no that you may drink of the cup and keep the body together," said Colonel Lucas In conclusion. Captain Kerr expressed his heartfelt thanks to his colored friends. Capt.

May you use It as a staff In life, may you live long and when you pass Into the great beyond may you receive the words of reward. 'Well done, thou good and. faithful ser vant.' " Mr. Lineberry in reply said: "I can not even express my hearffeljf thanks to you for this gift, fori, my heart Is too full and overflowing;-' I (am told that it has only been the eus torn to present a gift to. the door keep er, at previous sessions, therefore in Receiving this gift I appreciate It all the more. I feel though that It is un worthily bestowed. I have tried to tTeat everybody In this Assembly fair ly, and I want to also thank the gen tlemen for electing me assistant door keeper. This Is the first time in.. my life that I ever asked anything of the party. I have always voted the Dem ocratic ticket and the flrs vote I ever cat was when I was 18 5ears old. I will explain. I was In the army hav- ng: taken my own gun and gone out to fight and I thought that if I was old enough to fight I was old enough to vote. My first vote was for that great man Zebulon B. Vance. I Jieyer scratched . a ticket and never missed but 1 one election and that was when Horace Greeley was on the ticket. Again. I wish to thank you ror the beautiful present."
