familiar with those old records of
forty years ago. My friends, r. H.
Pearce and Judge William A. Hoss,
spent many tedious days hunting for
these old papers
''Now, remember, when a man has
qualified and taken an oath as ad-
ministrator that oath says that he
will we'll and truly administer the es-
tate he is to have in charge, and, of
course, he has to give a bond for the
performance of these duties The
ordinary of the county must see his
returns each year during his admin
istration, and if they are not in by
July of each year it is the duty of
the ordinary to remind him to bring
them in. The administrator is given
twelve months to get the assets of
the estate in hand, and then to pay
the creditors and the heirs, and if he
does not they usually get anxious and
begin to prod him up. Who believes
that Hezekiah McCorkle was ever
guilty of violating such an oath?
Why, every one Of you is going to
go away from this place certain that
he was true to the trust imposed on
and in him, that he did his duty by
those heirs and creditors, and that

Mrs. Bond herself replied.

ing lot, the old blacksmith shop lot,

Williams came to me one day and
asked how l stood on the blacksmith

ready to give a note for it. He said
then he did not have scratch of a
pen for it. Mrs. Bond dropped into
my office one day, and l remember it

Mr.. Watson described the situa-
ton, telling of his preparations to
go hunting and describing his horse
and hunting clothes, and his rush to
get off.
Mrs. Bond asked him if he would
sell that lot and he told her he
would. She asked how much and he
told her to offer price. When she
offered $3.50 he said all right. "And
Mrs. Bond remarked that we had
struck a trade in hurry

was impossible to do anything in the
South outside of the Democratic
party, and so notified him that 1
could not go on with the old move
ment. That was several weeks be-
fore any of this correspondence from
Hardwick, and, therefore, Hardwick
is wrong when he tells the people
that he took my scalp.
Nov, so much for the record
You just watch me. I have shown
you where I stand and what I mean
This State has been too long under
a one-man rule, and l am going to
devote the balance of my life to driv-
ing out of the Democratic party it's

going to take some command of the
Democratic party myself. Mark

Congress. There has been too much
talk of Congressional service. That

l will go about my work through the
Democratic party l also said l would
not be candidate for office, that l
had nothing to ask for myself must
not break that promise. That was
promise and l must stick by my
word. .
At this point there was wild en-
thusiasm among the crowd and de-
mands that Watson should enter the
race, and that that was the only way
to forever get rid of Hardwick, to
which Watson replied:
"Now, boys, stop that; it won't do

But my honor is at stake and every
body wants this thing cleared up,
and that's what I'm going to do"
He said there were two periods in
life alike, childhood and old age,
and that the most treacherous thing
in life is an impaired faculty. He
cited the men who were connected in
the transactions with the McCorkle
matter, saying: eff 1 am guilty as

painted of Tom Watson
after my crowd had left town
and l., with three or four friends,
was waiting in the car at the depot
for the train to stop, mob rushed in
screening, where's that damned
desperado? Where's the damned ras-
cal that sold out to the Republicans?'
Is that true, Bill Wilson? You were
there"
Ga voice from the crowd replied
that it was true.)
He said Capt. Charles Erwin, who
was in the car succeeded in getting
the crowd out, and concluded this
rehearsal with the statement: "You

contest case to Congress: spoke of
his having been accused untruthfully

very well-paid, even at that
He said from the foundation of
this government contestants had
been allowed to plead their causes in
Congress that right had been
denied him.
"A. G. Shuford, of Newton, North
Carolina, who was elected on Popu-
list ticket, says he asked the men on
both sides why they did not allow
Watson to be heard, and he says they
replied: we don't know what that
