North Carolina Congressman Make,
Serious Charge against Post
mistress.

Asheville, N. C.. special in
yesterdays Charlotte Observer {:
The fact that Mrs. Fannie J..
Reed, a widow, was removed as
postmistress at Biltmore as a
result of an affidavit filed with
the department at Washington,
to the effect that Mrs. Reed had
attempted to bribe Congressman
Grant, has created great interest
hereabouts, and today POLITICAL y
the talk has to do with the matter.
The knowledge that Mrs. Reeds
removal was due to this affidavit
was obtained by a member of the
North Carolina congressional
delegation, who visited the de-
partment. This Congressman
said that he was not at liberty to
say who had suggested the affida
Wit, but that such an affidavit
was on file; that this was the
cause of Mrs. Reeds removal.
The publication of this fact
and the further fact that Mrs.
Reed was given no opportunity
to refute the charge created much
talk, and today Congressman
Grant comes to the bat and says
that he made the affidavit; that
Mrs. Reed did attempt to bribe
him; that very shortly he will
make a full statement relative to
the matter.
Mrs. Reed says that she did
not.

JACKSON ASOUTH CAROLINIAN.
New Evidence Showing that "Old
Hickory" wa. Born in this
State.
Charleston News and Courier.

Charleston News and Courier.
To the Editor of The News and
Courier: In looking over some
old books l came across a copy of
the Memoirs of Andrew Jack
son. by S. Putnam Waldo, ESQ.,"
compiler of Robbins Journal and
author of the Presidents Tour"
and published by Silas Andrus,
Hartford" and by Frederick
Hinsdale, Berlin"-Roberts &
Burr. printers, in the year 1918.
Having noticed from time to
time snatches of controversy be-
tween The News and Courier
and the Charlotte Observer as to
the birthplace of ''Old Hickory"
and thinking the following might
be interesting to you and your
readers, and equally disquieting
to the editor of the Observer, l
take pleasure in quoting:
1.-The birthplaces of statesmen,
heroes and poets have often been
subjects of historical investiga-
ton, and not infrequently of
warm dispute. Seven cities
of Greece claimed the honor of
giving birth to Homer. The
birth of illustrious men certainly
imparts a consequence to the
place of their nativity; and often.
times the only consequence they
possess. An English civilian
will visit the birthplace of Alfred
the soldier, that of Marlbor.
ough: the poet. those of Shakes
peafe and Milton: "A athissric2,sss,
although comparatively a new
people, can scarcely travel in any
section of their extensive Repub-
lie, that they can point to the
place where some of it's great
benefactors were born. The cat
alogue would swell the volume.
Among the first statesmen in the
world, might be mentioned the
members of the Old Congress;
among heroes, the officers of the
Army of the Revolution among
poets, constellation of geniuses,
to whom posterity will award the
need of praise"
No Sooner had Andrew Jack
son began to achieve those deeds
of valor which furnish sure
presage of future eminence, than
Englishmen and Scotchmen
claimed him as a native-born
subject. They once claimed Gen.
Washington. Irishmen omitted
to assert their claim to his ma
tivity; but he was of Irish ex-
traction, although born in Amer
lea. His grandfather was one of
the victims of the siege of Car
rickfergus, in Ireland, and all
ancestors, being among the hum
bier classes of Irishmen, endured
the suffering which that ill-fated
and oppressed race have long en-
sdured from some of the Irish
nobility, born in the bosom of
that country; and from English
noblemen sent there to govern
them.
His father, Andrew Jackson,
emigrated to America with his
wife and two sons in the year
1765. DESTROYS that his rising
family should escape from the
oppression of the English Govern
ment in Europe, he came to this
country as an asylum from the
rod of abused power. He landed
at Charleston, in the State of
South Carolina, and soon after
established himself at a settle
ment formerly called Warsaw,
now the district of Marion.
"His youngest son, and the
subject of these memoirs, was
born at that place upon the 18th
of March 1767."

with guns is less potential Of danger than
he who, processing obedience to the law
and the practices of an orderly state OF
society hides his man-killer and draws
it when occasion arises. His notion OF
what constitutes a reason for the use
of a weapon is almost always false one
He is the foe of all men, for no one can

elect himself judge. jury and executioner
and take life according to his own pri-
vate code.
Pistols are today practically useless, in
this country. Here and there are danger
Gus corners where men must go armed,
openly, in order to enforce respect and
to maintain authority. But in the great
majority of places within the boundaries
of the United States the pocket weapon Is
as needless, as unwarranted, as an argue
bus. and practically as anachronistic. The
root of the evil lies in the ease Of pro-
curement. The real remedy is the pro-
hibition of the sale of pistols to all save
servants of the state and the imposition
of such a severe penalty upon both Vend-
ing and carrying will render both
sides of the transaction too hazardous
for men to risk. Washington is now
waiting for Congress to pass a law of this
character, to lower the rate Of deaths by
violence and to lessen the work of the
courts.
