Forty Years Ago

Forty years ago last Tuesday
Judge Pace was elected clerk and
he has held that job down ever
since.
The election, or elections, for
tbey-lasted three days, was held at
the old court house, then compar-
atively new. 1t was in 1868, and
the elections were held under mill
tary rule, under General Candy.
General Grant was elected presi-
dent the same day.
Judge Pace succeeded Samuel
Waldrop, and was elected as Clerk
of the Superior Court, Probate
Judge Gan office since abolished) }
8 ling J. G. Gullick,
father of cur Judge Gullick
and clerk to the Master in Equity,
which Office was then flied by H.
7. Farmer.
The election lasted three days
and all in the county came to town
to vote. The first constitution of
the State after the war, was adopt
ed at this same time, and altho
liquor was to be had in abundance
the day was extremely quiet and
orderly.
Forty years ago Hendersonville
was some smaller than it is today.
There were no water meters, no
cement sidewalks, no paved streets.
All that beautiful part of the town
to the west and the northeast was
covered with wooded land, with
here and there fertile farm. Mrs.
Patton's house aud the residence
of Col. Livingston were the only
buildings in that part of the town
now thickly settled.
DR.. Allen was in business at the
same old stand. Memory Justus
was in business then and Colonel
Pickens was practicing law.
Wesley Justus was registrar of
deeds. Capt. w. G. B. Morris,
Columbus McCrary, DR.. Whitted,
James Justus, father of Sam JUS
tus, and G. B. Johnson were the
five county commissioners. They
are now all dead and gone.
Forty years ago Mayor Schenck
apd his crusade against blind I'll
gers would have been out of place,
although he is the right man in
the right place now, for then
hardly q store in town but sold
liquor.
The change in public sentiment
in that respect has been remarka-
BILE The grandfather Of Judge Pace
was a distlller. His son played
the fiddle, and for allowing this
the old gentleman was threatened
with "churching" to be put out
of the church. He lived to see
the day when liquor selling was
frowned upon by public sentiment
and sat in church in his latter
years and heard a fiddle played il
the sacred edifice. A com pletC
reversal of sentiment in one mans
lifetime.

A Puzzle

Ransome Pace was born in Bun
combe county. He was raised in
Henderson county. He lived and
is still living in Polk county, and
he has never changed his residence
and still lives in the same spot
where he was born.
How come?

HOW BRYAN HELPED FmLIPNos

HOW BRYAN HELPED FIIsIPINOS.
In the course of a speech in Cam
den, n. j., on September Is, William
Jennings Bryan said: ~ said in 1898
that the Filipinos ought to have their
independence
In this, as in so many of his public
utterances. Mr.. BRYAN contents him
self with a statement of half-truth.
The facts as to his relations with the
so-called independence movement in
the Philippines in 1898 are extremely
interesting. The first duty of the
United States after destroying Span
fish power in the Philippines was to
establish American authority in the
islands. That was an essential condi-
ton, TO which all other projects were
subordinated. for tho reason that un-
I'll II was established there could be
no durable basis for the erection of
civil government. Peace, based upon
an absolute recognition OF American
control, was Indispensable to the re-
storation of civil rule, and the United
States government devoted It's entire
energy to the creation Of that condl-
ton.
Mr.. Bryan, however, contended
that having overthrow Spanish au-
thority, the United States should i'm
mediately withdraw from the Islands,
leaving the Filipinos to work out
their own destiny-or their own de-
81 rucfion He therefore gave HIS
hearty support to the agitation for
immediate independence for the Phil
ippines, and his reckless utterances
helped 10 incste and pro,ong the futile
insurrection against american author
~ in which the Filipinos subsequent
The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1908-09-25

lily engaged. Bryan's emotional ex-
pressions OF sympathy for the agita-
tors for independence gave aid and
comfort to the instructors. and were
interpreted by Aguinaldo and his fol-
lowers as meaning that large pro-
portion OF the American people OPP
posed the policies Instituted by their
government in the Islands and favor
ed the immediate withdrawal OF the
United States troops. Aguinaldo aud
his fellow leaders in the insurrection
assured their ignorant followers that
Bryan was their friend: that IL they
would keep on fighting he would help
them to gain their Independence. and
that the government in authority in
Washington did not represent the pur
pose and desire of the American
people.
Mr. Bryan's reckless talk in favor
of Independence for the Philippines
did more to prolong the instruction
against American authority than any
other single cause. II gave powerful
moral support to the lawless move
ment which not only involved al
costly sacrifice of American life and
American treasure, but which also
subjected the misguided Filippinos
themselves to prolonged and needless
hardship. He deceived them His
irresponsible talk encouraged them
to continue a futile resistance to
American authority, when for hui
manity's sake his whole influence
should have been exerted TO urge to
persuade them to accept It.
Bryan poses as the best friend of
the Filipnos, while in fact, he has
been their worst enemy. Instead of
pleading with them to reconcile them
selves to new conditions and trust to
the American spirit of good faith TO
make them independent just as soon
as they III themselves for ii, he has
sought to convince them that the
are their enemies and OPP
pressors. from whom they must exact
liberty by force. Bryan has fooled
and tricked the ISLANDERS He has
never given them a word of wise
nor performed friendly
.ervice for them. His attitude toward
he Philippines, like his attitude here
IN the United States, is that of the
preacher of unrest, suspicion and dis
sord-the enemy OF peace and the oh
'tructor of progress.
