Why Mccormick Changed from the
Left to the Right Hand Binder

1t has been said that the conyenienees
of one age become the necessities of the
next; but no ordinarily sane man viii
contend that the necessities of one age
should become the Inconvenience of the
next When binding was done by hand
the left hand cut harvester was a neces-
sity. The grain fell on the platform of
the harvester and was delivered into the
receiver with its heads towards the rear

ceiver facing the grain. With the left
hand machine the heads of the grain are

STORIES OF JACKSON.
A Hotel Bill Wiped Ont by the Battle
OF New Orleans.

When Andrew Jackson practice1 la w
in Guilford County, North Carolina, the
fees that rewarded him were meager
enough, and the young barrister was
not always able TO make his cash bal
ancc with his expense account. He
practiced in Surrey, as well as in Gull
ford, and often spent a week at time
in the old tavern at Rockford, the coun-
ty seat. This old town is now almost
in ruins, but the older inha who
knew it in other days recall the
stories Jackson's friends told Of him.
Emanuel Cranor kept the Rockford
tavern. Often Jackson was unable to
pay his tavern bill, and the landlord
would let the amount go over until next
time. When Jackson departed from
Ruilford for his new home in TenneS-
see he left a bill of $24 due the tavern.
Cranor sent him one dun after another,
carefully noting on the book that no re-
ply had been received. When the news
papers containing the accounts of the
battle of New Orleans arrived Cranor
read the story through. He then walk
ed across to the register and wrote in
red across the page beside JacksOn'S
name:
To balance in full by the battle of
New Orleans"
The book is said to be in existence at
this day.
Judge Fuller. of the United States
Court of Land Claims, says that the idea
that Jackson was rough and uncouth
is entirely Incorrect He was we'll
verSed in the law, and the opinions
written by him while Judge OF the
Supreme Court of Tennessee are said to
be models of their kind.
1t has just been discovered in the ar
chiyes of Guilford County that Jack
son was once a Constable, with the rank
of Deputy Sheriff His oath and bond
are now on file in the county dOcu-
mcnts. and one of the Id citizens re-
calls the fact that the oldest inhabi
tant' told him in his boyhood how
Jackson was assistant to the High
Sheriu
The old minute document shows that
Andrew Jackson was admitted to the
L
ed constable in 1879, two years after.
He resigned as constable in 1871. The
bond as constable is payable to the
Governor of North Carolina in the sum
of $500 with John Ross and James
Maxwell as sureties.
The records show that constables

top painted black. The High Sheriff
was required to carry Il staff feet
long This long and solemn procession
wendell its way down the principal
street and into the courtroom, where
the records Of the officers were re-
viewed.
Whether the scarcity of cases at law
induced Jackson To become a consta-
llp. so as to add to his small income, or
lie wanted the honor of marching in
this imposing annual procession is not
recorded.
