ROBERT FREDERICK HOE
iFrom The Uplift.)

Robert Frederick Hoke IS North
Cardinals most distinguished soldier.
He vas born in Lincoln county, May
9th, 1881. The first of his name to
ccme to America was a Lutheran
minister, who settled in York, Penn
s%ylvania- From that place came a
widow with several sons who settled
In Lincoln county. This was before
the Revolution. One of these sons
was named John, the grandfather OIL
the subject of this sketch, n he with
a neighbor built the first cotton mill
ir the South. 1t is said hat this cot
ton mill was successfully operated
until the Civil War.
The father OF our subject was
Michael Hoke. He was a scholar. an
orator and stood high among the lead
ers or the State. In 1914, at the g
OF "a. he was chosen as the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor to make
the race against the Wing candidate.

it. Governor Vance prevailed on him
to accent a dictatorship Of the North
Carolina roao; Iate- he was mace and
is now E director on the part OF the
Driyate stockholders Of said o HIS
wisdom when the 99-year lease OF inns
road was being made to the southern,
made the lease contract such a good
one that no State or Federal Legislation
now or hereafter can materially ai1ect
the returns to the holders OF the STOCK.
He was careful, wise and long-hea ted,
and his contention at that time mas
already prevented the lease from De-
coming a moor business proposition 1ol
the State and the stockholders.
Several years g when he had &C
cumulated q splendid estate, and the
warnings Of a serious illness called d
career, he retired to the Lincoln
Lithia Springs property, which ne n
several other parties own. His health
was restored. He formed a CLUB OF
200 members, which took over the
property of $50 acres on which OF
the finest lithia springs known IS TO pe
found. AS it's president and general
manager, Genera Hone is mak1n OF
the Lincoln Lithia Springs, n Of the
finest properties in the State. 1t Is
with him a labor of love and interest.
When his plans are fully developed,
there can be found d spot
more conducive to rest, happiness and
health.
General Hoke was nee asked what
suggestion he would offer to the
young, he replied: "Strict attention
to all duties OF life" That. as | see
it and know him, has been the rule Of
his own life. He is never idle
though 72 years of age, he is active,
erect and vigorous in lii and body.
He is a gentleman of the old school,
companionable in spirit, thoughtful in
speech, ~considerate OF the weak and
courteous to the strong. He comes
nearer attending strictly to his own
business and letting severely alone
that of all others than any man | ever
knew. He does not nave to try to do
this. General Hoke sees the bright
side of things-he is hopeful-he has
faith in folks-and pessimism IS a
thing that he knows nothing about.
The meanes thing I ever heard him
say about any person was when he
was asked about a certain gentleman
(the man in question is measly and
miserably stingy) Why" replied tn.
General, che is very careful with his
money"
General Hokew was married January
7th, 1869, to Miss Lydia A. Van Wyck,
Of South Carolina, and to them hav
been born six children, Of whom four
are living: Mr.. Van Wyck Hoke, of
Lincolnton; DR.. Michael Hoke, of At
lanta; Mrs. Alexander Webb, Of Raj
eigh, and Mrs. w. P. Pollock, of Kin
stOn.
Here's to the good health and long
life Of North Cardinals greatest SOL
der, the strong believer in man and
ardent lover Of his State.

JOHNNY ON THE GRoUND-HoG.

INV dear and loving teacher has
asked me to write composition on
the grounding, and l will, therefore,
say that he is something fierce. he
has a burrow in the earth, and most
of the time he sits in it and plans
and conspires against human life.
When he does go out it is to roam
around with his eyes blazing fire and
his teeth gnashing, and If he comes
across farmers hired man in the
barnyard then woe to that man. There
is a terrible growl, a scream Of ter
ror. and a dead body is borne back
to the burrow to be devoured at leis-
ure.
"As to how long a grounding lives
no one knows, but they have been
found dead with u rings around the
tail each ring representing at least
a year. From his birth to his death
he is mans implacable enemy and
thirsts for human blood.
when winter fairly sets in the
grounding ceases to roam over the
country, chanking his teeth and pull
ing down victims, and enters his bur-
row for a long sleep. He has awful
dreams as he sleeps, and some folks
think this is the cause of earthquakes.
If once you hear him growl in his
sleep you will have goose-hesh for
ever after.
"On the second day of April the
grounding turns over on his back
and wakes up and gives a yell. Then
he slowly crawls out to see how the
Panama Canal is coming on. If it is
bright day, he sees his shadow and
it is so mean looking that he tum-
bles backwards into his burrow and
don't come out again for six weeks.
If it is cloudy no shadow appears, and
he sets off over the country to in
form farmers, schoolma'ams and 9TH
err interested parties that onions are
up, the roses blooming, and that it is
time for them to come forward and
have their bones picked

GOTCH WON EASILY

Chicago. November 9.-Frank Gotch,
champion wrestler of the world, defeated
Giovanni Raicevitch of Italy, in two
straight falls here tonight, the first in

The match, at catch-as-catch-can, was
witnessed by a large crowd.
Gotch won the first fall with crotch
and bar arm hold. The Italian gave a
fine exhibition of wrestling skill, but the
champion was too agile and strong for
him. Gotch had his famous toe hold on
the foreigner four or five times, but
Raicevitch resisted it successfully, the
crowd giving cheer when Gotch, though
smiling, changed his tactics.
In the second fall Gotch pinned his an
