THE VALUE OF A MAN
By L. NJ. HEWITT.

by l.. NJ. IfE VIII.
This subject has baffled the best
talent of the law fraternity, and many
are the juries which have puzzled for
hours over this knotty problem, only
to have the solution disputed by some
higher tribunal. In our consideration
of this question we do not propose to
advance any new subject matter, but
simply desire to call attention to a
few well recognized facts as they re-
late directly to the community as a
whole, and in a careful analysis it
might we'll be termed mans RESPONSE
bility to man.
What is the value of man? 1t
depends entirely upon the man. One
may live and die in community; he
may become financially well to do; he
may, by his absolute selfish methods,
become a "blood-sucker, and be alb
solutely worthless to the community.
He may be lover Of home, an artis-
tic designer, an adept gardener, soil
student, and by his social intercourse
with those in his immediate vicinity
become a molder of civic pride, and
thus of great value in progressive de-
velopment. There is no limit to the
value of civic beauty in the CONNER
cial development Of a community. "a
thing of beauty is Joy forever" The
man may possess peculiar talent for
architectural schemes, and receive re-
Enumeration for his personal needs
only; but by unselfish diffusion his
splendid talent permeates the entire
architectural scheme of the commun-
ity, with the result that general
plan is carried through, it all result

At eighteen he became editor Of
the Scotland Neck Democrat, and

His editorials showed frmness of
conviction, a soundness Of Judge
ment and a grasp of the Democratic
faith far beyond his years.
At twenty one he located at Rox-

law. The people among whom he
cast his lot were of the best type,

CONGRESSIONAL CAREER.

In 1896 he was nominated for Con-
gress in the Fifth District against
Hon. Thos. Settle, the most bril-
liant Republican canpaigner in the
State, before whom Judge A. ".
Graham and the late A. Il. A. Will
liams had successfully gone down to
defeat. The task of defeating Set
tie was difficult and especially so, as
the Republicans and Populists in
their fusion had allotted that Dis
trict to the Republicans. No man
who heard their joint canvass will
ever forget their memorable debates.
Kltcilin was triunphantly elected
and was the only successful Demo
crat on either the Congressional or
State ticket. Since then he has
known no defeat. His election in
the largest and most prosperous
Congressional district in the State
gave courage and hope to the party
in its darkest hour. He kept the
lamp Of Democracy burning bright
ly until the dawn of the new day.
For twelve years, and until he vol
unfairly retired to become Governor,
he held this important position with
out Democratic opposition.
In every political crisis in the last
twenty years he has been found in
the forefront fighting the battles Of
Democracy. He took a leading part
in the White Supremacy and Suf-
frage Amendment campaigns. Be-
fore the suffrage amendment was
ratified by the people it was attack
ed in Congress and he defended it in
speech of such wisdom and power
that it not only profoundly impress
ed Congress, but was circulated
throughout the State as campaign
document to the extent of $500
copies and had great weight in

since made reputation as one of
the most charming and popular
hostesses the Governor Manson
ever had.
Success came slowly, as it does to
most young men at the bar, but to
him it. came surely. People were
attracted by his earnestness, indus
try, determination and capacity
His habits were regular, his work
thorough. After four years he was
enjoying lucrative practice He
grew steadily in his profession and
in the esteem Of the people, who be-
gan to mark him for leadership.
He always took a keen interest in
politics. At twenty-four he became
chairman Of his party in Person
County. and, under his leadership,
for the first time in ten years, it
went Democratic. In 1892 he was
nominated for the State Senate from
the district composed of Granville
and Person but was defeated by a
fusion Of Populists and Republicans.
