Justice Wolfe got into an argument

This is what he says about lt.
In the biography of great men, un-

the presence Of two gentlemen that An
drew Jackson was once a constable OF
Guilford county.
''Old Hickory says one Of them!
Yes, Old Hickory says l.
They respected my age too much to
call me q liar, but they looked like they

How do you know he was" says one.

cendants of man by the name OF

the bond.
We went into dse Office but the pre-
sent clerk not knowing where it was
we failed to find it, so they thought they
he'd. me in "a hole / then called for the
old minute docket as far back as 1880,
and found where Andrew Jackson was
admitted to practice law in Guilford
county in 1881 Coming a little farther
down we found where Andrew Jackson
was appointed constable in 1889. 4 lit

resigned as constable in 1901.

it was. / win state right here for the

it if necessary that have seen the bond
given by Old Hickory as constable with
his own signature affixed to it, payable
to the Governor of North Carolina in
the.sum Of 500 pounds, with John Ross
and James Maxwell as sureties. ] pre-
sumo it is in the clerks office yet Jack
sons reason for becoming constable after
he had been admitted to the bar / know
not. II may be he thought there was
more money in it. Or constable may
have outranked a lawyer in those days.
Il see from the records that consta-
bles were ordered by the court to appear
once year in open court each with
wand 6 feet long ~ inches in diameter,
with 8 inches Mt the top painted black
1t may be that young Jackson had a
longing desire to march into court in
one of those professions. BE that as it
may he was made constable after he was
admitted to the bar.
From the minute docket it is easy to
see that the high sheriff outranked con-
stable, from the fact that he was required
to appear in court with a staff s feet
long, / inch in diameter. / am sorry
the custom has been abolished, / think
it would be very becoming to our modern
sheriffs. 1t might be necessary to reg
ulate the length of the staff to the height
of the sheriff, but it would look well all
the same"

James II. Young, colored, member-elect
Of Tia Legislature from Wake, is in favor
OF very simple ceremonies on the oc-

that 'the inaugural ball which, under

the State the snug sum Of $500, be dis

swell the educational fund for the benefit
