Reminiscences Of Cherryville ! DAVID P. DELLINGER, A. Id. ; DAVID P. DELLINGER, A. M. • The death of Senator Clyde K. Hoey brings to mind many things of interest politically and other wise. In tMe first place Mr. Hoey was elected a member of the 1899 House of Representatives of North Carolina before he had at tained the age of 21, which is the age required by the Constitution tor a person to serve in the House —However, after he was elected and on the llh, day of Decem uer following he became 21 and served one term in the House. Then he served a term m me State Senate. He later served m the National House of Represen tatives. hollowing- that he served as Governor and in the course of time was elected to the United States Senate, the highest and most powerful legislative body in the world, and served until his death last week. Next we note some of the inter esting men serving with Senator Hoey m 1899. Honorable 1.. H. J. j Houser, father of the editor of [The EaGLE, was a member and served during that session. Mr. Henry G. Connor of Wilson County served as Speaker of the House during the session. Later he became a Judge of tne Super ior Court and then of the Su preme Court of North Carolina. Climaxing his career he was ap pointed a United States Judge by a Republican President and served to the end of his days in the Eastern District of the state. The Honorable Locke Craig of Buncombe County was a member with Senator Hoey. He was one of the most polished speakers and orators in the state for many years. As time went on Mr. Craig became governor of the state and made a line record for himself in tnat capacity. The writer recalls that Governor Craig had many calls to make college commence ment addresses. Samuel M. Gattis of Orange County was a member of this dis tinguished legislative body. He was State Solicitor for some years and served as one of the most noted Grand Masters of the Grand Lodge of Masons of North Carolina. The Honorable Ed J. Justice of MatDowell County was a mem ber of this noted 1899 session of the General Assembly. He was a powerful, influential member. In due time he served as Speaker of the House, the third highest office in the state government. After a number of years Mr. Justice moved from his native state to Greensboro and became one of the ablest and most noted attor neys in the tsate. Strange as it may seem he came back to the House after many years, and the I writer had the honor of serving as a member with him.

Walter E. Moore of | Jackson County was a member of that session. He became aipower ;n getting logislataion done for I the good of the State. Before he | finished his legislative career he ’ was elected Speaker of the House and made an eviable record as such. Later he became one of the ablest Judges in the state in wheih < opacity he served until hi* death a number of years ago. Hon. Lee S. Overman of Row an County was likewise a mem ler of that great and distinguish ed legislative, body. He was rec ognized fur his splendid ability and the next year he was nomi nated and elected to the United States Senate and became a nat ional figure there. He served many years in that body and until his death. One of the most colorful char I al ters in our part of the state I was Hon. J. F. RhiuehaMt, a lead inp textile mill man of Lineoln ] ten. Hundreds of people will re j member him as a most likable ! character, a most jovial man I wherever he went, a favorate a mong all classes of people. He .was likewise a member of the l lb<19 House, serving with Senator Hoey and our Mr, Houser. Judge Francis D. Winston of Bertie County was a member of this great body of distinguished men of the state. Judge Winston was one of the most noted char acters in the Masonic fraternity. He was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Masons in 1905 and directed the work in building the Masonic Temple on Fayette ville Street in Raleigh. Later he was made a Superior Court Judge where he served with distinction. There were many other^ men of the state who made enviable rec ords after serving in the 1899 It may be of interest to note there were three groups of poli- i tical leaders in that body. For j the most part there were Demo crats, hut a fairly good number of Republicans, and a few Popu lists. Most of the counties in the Democratic column then are still in that classification. It will be remembered that about 1893 when the Farmers Alliance decid ed to go into politics there was formed a third party known as the Populist party. It did not get along so well. It was made up largely of Democrats who had become dissatisfied with the work ings of thier party. During the years 1893 to 1901 the Republi cans and Populists fused and they got out their own ticket and elected many of the legislators from the two parties as Fusion ists, with the members taking the proper designations of the side j they claimed to represent. During j those years many of their mem- | hers were Negroes and that race shared largely in the patronage including Seargcant at Arms or door keepers and.the like. As late as the 1890 session there were four Negroes from the counties of Northampton, Vance, Craven and Warren, who served with our former townsman, Hon. L. H. J. Houser. All of the distinguished men mentioned herein were well I known to the writer and many of them his intimate friends until their deaths.
