Cumberland, Bladen, Mecklinburg and other counties came down unanimously in favor of one Shackleford, of the upper section, a name almost unknown to us, and New Hanover, which stood alone for the Colonel, was defeated. After the expiration of his term in Congress the Colonel went to his home in Wilmington, and resumed the practice of law.
"Come," he said, "it's a pity he should grow up wild in the pine woods get him away from Yancy I am' willing to spend five hundred dollars on this if necessary." "As a matter of sentiment?" "As a matter of sentiment." Bladen considered. He was not averse to making five hundred dollars, but he was decidedly averse to letting slip any chance to secure a larger sum.

Pearson was born in June, 1805, educated at Statesville by John Mushat, and graduated at Chapel Hill in 1823. He studied law under Judge Henderson, and was licensed in 1826.

Bladen ought to feel obliged to tell the truth," said the squire. "He done give me the order from the judge of the co't I was to show it to Bob Yancy " "Got that order?" demanded the squire sharply. With a smile, damaged, but clearly a smile, Blount produced the order. "Hmm app'inted guardeen of the boy " the squire was presently heard to murmur.
