ID and earnest political associations of

old and earnest political associations Of
the country.
Mr.. Watson assails the belief that Jack
son was ''self-made man." He says:
Unless am greatly mistaken. general
impression prevails that the youth OF An
drew Jackson was one of hardship. priva-
ton and heroic struggle with the draw
backs of poverty and neglect. am sure
that such an impression was on my own
mind when I began the studies for this
biography. Such an impression, II 1t pre-
walls, is erroneous"
The biographer finds that Jackson was his
mothers idol. that she kept him at school,
while she kept her other boys Hugh and
Robert at the pillow. From the moment Of
receiving the legacy from his grandfather's
estate in Ireland Andrew never knew what
1t was to be poor. In his youth he always
presented the appearance OF a well-to-do
citizen-well-lodged. well-dressed and we'll
mounted. He boarded at the best tavern In
Salisbury and spent two years reading law
land learned very little), while Patrick
Henry could afford to spend only six weeks
and Alexander H Stephens only three
months in the luxury of such study. When
he was admitted to the bar Mr.. Watson
finds that he was CARRIED in broadcioth and
ruff1ed shirt, that he owned a splendid sad
die horse. kept a pack of hounds, had ex-
ira fine pistols and a specially made rife,
was able to put up stakes at horse races,
chicken fights, dice throwing and card play
ing, and was Gin" at all the social functions
at Salisbury and Charlotte.
Mr.. Watson finds that it was through the
influence of Judge Spruce McCay and Col
Montfort Stokes (under whom Jackson read
law that Jackson secured the appointment
as states attorney in new judicial circuit
created beyond the Carolina mountains,
that it was because of this pull" that Jack
son was able to snatch the major general
ship of militia from John Sewer, and that
without this Office he would never have
gone to New Orleans as commander-in-
chief.
Continuing, Andrew Jacksons latest biog-
rapher says:
Verify, we must abandon the belief that
Andrew Jackson belongs to the class of
American youths who rode to fame and
fortune by their own efforts, unaided by
the help of family and friends. Never did
he taste the bitter cup of physical want, Of
hunger and cold, of helpless, spirit-breaking
poverty.
Poverty Why Andrew Jackson never In
his whole life had a genuine taste of what
that cruel word really means. Compared
to the rugged, iself-taught youth of Benja-
min Franklin, Roger Sherman. Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew Johnson Sam Houston,
Francis Marion and Nathaniel Greene, the
boyhood of Andrew Jackson almost assumes
the appearance of having been cast upon
'fiowery beds of ease "

Bryan Not the Only Democrat.

Sometimes the unexpected happens-not
often, to be sure, despite the proverb, but
just often enough to show that there Is an
element of uncertainty in all the activities
Of this life-in love. in war, in politics
Who will say that the unexpected will be
an impossibility when the democratic ma
tional convention dominates the party's
candidate for President in 1908? Who will
deny that the democracy has more than one
man who Is of presidential stature, quail

magistracy with ability and dignity2
