Grady) ; fWh'en ' every farmer in the South shall eat bread from his wn fields and meat from his Own pastures,' and disturbed by I po creditor and enslaved by no debt shall sit amid his teeming gardens, and orchards arid vine yards and dairies, and barnyards, pitching his crops in his own wisdom, and growing them in independence, making cotton his clean surplus, and selling it in his own time, and in his chosen market, and not a master's bid ding, getting his pay in cash arid not in a receipted mortgage that discharges his debt but does riot restore his freedom then shall be breaking the fullness of our day. r Great is King Cotton! But to lie at his feet while the usurer and grainraiser bind us in sub jection, is to invite the contempt of man and the reproach of Cod. But to stand up before him and amid grain crops and smoke houses wrest from him the mag na charta of our independence, and to establish in his name an ample and diversified agriculture that shall honor him while it en riches us this is to carry us as far in the way of happiness and independence as the farmer, working in the richest fields, can carry any people. in Durham7C. W spirit oj this noble man left the tired body and went back to God. This sad message carried sorrow into hundreds of homes in North Carolina and other states, for he was loved wherever known. Judge Foushee was a very hand some man with a dignity and poise of manner which won and held the admiration and respect of all who knew him. Non-failing courtesy and great considera tion for the feelings of others characterized his daily life. Es pecially tender and compassion ate towards the erring he ever sought by counsel and example to win them to rierht living:. On ly forty-six years old, he . com-1 passed in that short life "three score years and ten" of j?eauti ful deeds of love and kindness, which is a priceless heritage to loved ones, especially those of his household on whom he lavish ed a wealth of love and affec tion. Perhaps in his home his beautiful character shone brightest but every where and under all circumstances he was an ideal gentleman.
