A VOICE FROM LABORING MEN.

To the Editor: please allow me
space in your most valuable paper to
saw a few words concerning our next
Governor. In doing 50 [ shall not re-
fleet upon past officers. for [ believe
they have all discharged their duties
we'll. Now, in naming the man of not
only my choice but [ cOnSclentlously
| believe the choice of the combined
laboring class of the state. [ name a
man all true North Carolinians elish
to honor. He is Of an old Scotch
family. and his father was like other
men of that day. very hard on ms
children. Ashley Horne was getting
in his teens and desiring to have
spending money of his own, he decided
TO work it out at night. He was often
seen on the banks of Neuse River
saving and irving barrel slaves to sell
to Mr.. a. B.. LOwery. the cooper, Of
Clayton. SoOn after this the War Re
tween the States broke out and he re-
sponGed 20 the States call, as all brave
men did. and made a soldier second to
none for four years. On his return
from Appomattox he found The home
that he had left stripped of wealth. So
we find him staying under a pine bark
shelter chopping cord wood for the
North Carolina Railroad to make q
start in life. From his early bOyhood
to the present day all that he takes
hold Of seems to prosper. Mr.. HOrne's
whole heart and soul is will the peo-
pie. He is q dear lover of good gov
Srnr1leIl. run on eCoIloitlcdl pTlHcl pies.
Now Mr.. Editor, the old Veterans
and the laboring class of people are
placing before the state a man of
SDOtleSS Character-not a politician
who seeks every vacant office to make
his living-but we place a man who
has already maze his living. a self
made man, a man that the State would
be a proud to call Governor, a ma
that has the whole people at heart and
not $4,000.
This may be the last office that the
old Veterans will ever ask for. and
besides his fitness, he comes from a
county that has never had a Governor.
or hut very few state offices. When
the convention is called together to
nominate a nan it should say in a
unanimous voice: Ashley Horne for
Governor. and old Johnston Will roll
up a majority that has never been
heard OF before.
This communication is unknown to
Mr.. Horne out solicited by the labOring
men of my township.

now,' said Vance. Mr.. Ashe IS one OF
the best lawyers in the state and a
perfect gentleman besides, and if he
can't please you | can not hope to-
"Oh, [ know all that replied the
client: Il know Mr.. Ashe is a gentle
man, but that is the trouble; he's toe
much of a gentleman; L want you-a
man what can get down and fling
dirt"
In the latter part of his life Vance
made a lecture before the Law Col
lege Of the District of Columbia, and
referring to his experience as a law
yer, he said: Il went to court horse
back, with a change of shirts and
the North Carolina Form-book in one
end of the saddIe-bags, and it is non
of your business what was in the other
end"
Vance's wit and hunor helped him
to climb over difficulties when other
methods failed. When he arrived at
the University, q mere lad, the boys
proposed to put him through the "haz-
ing" process. so they first tied Zeb's
big toes to a bed-post. After they die
this he asked leave to tell them some

Then 4 great big tall student by the
name OF Respass told the boys they

abandoned. Zeb's wit saved him.. But
this was only the beginning. In later
campaiens his wit put to flight the
strongest intellects of the State.
In fact. Zeb Vance won his first
political victory by his wit. He be
came a candidate for h Legislature
and his opponent was a highly re-
spected gentleman, a good deal older
than Vance. The court room Of the
county was crowded. Vance's com
petitor objected to young Vance's
age. He was too young 70 be in
politics Zeb apologiZed for his youth,
and declared that he would have
checrfully cen BORN at an earlier date
if it a been in his power that his
father and mother gave him no chance
whatever about the matter, and he
humblv begged pardon, and said he
would try to do better next time. The
uproar in the court house was ire
mendous, sc much so that his comDe-
titor got angry and said he liked to
see a smart boy, but this one was en-
tirely too smart. Then the boys again
yelled and cheered vigorously. and
that days work, beyond question, Sc
cured Zeb's election to the Genera
! Assembly,.
