Bickett is not a lawj ' er simply. He feeds on the best books. He is fond of political and constitutional histor ' and stacks his librarj ' with the best of books. His information in this line is more like that of the English statesmen. He is distinctively an optimist who feels that life is too short to carry a grouch, that there is too nmch of goodness and beauty in the world to sound a croaking note. He is glad our fathers fought the liattles of the past, but feels that we must fight those of the present. He is well equipped for a useful career. He was graduated from Wake For- est College in 1890, where he took the regular course, not omitting Greek and Mathematics. For a time he taught school at Marion, but W. A. Blair — then head of the Winston schools — foun l him, recognized his ability and calletl him to Winston. Here he was allowed to teach as he pleased, but the law kept woo- ing him. After a course at the University of North Carolina he secured his license and was ready for clients. He located at Danbury, l)ut later he moved to Louisburg. Here he married Miss Fannie Yarlmmugh, a woman of rare attainments and fine character. Mr. Bickett is a great believer in home and is never happier than when under liis own vine and fig tree. This feeling colors his idea of civilization, for he tliinks that it rests on the little farm well tilled. He would like to see every tenant the owner of a little farm. He agrees with . rthur Young that the magic of jjroperty converts sand into gold. Politically Bickett eoiild never be a wild-eyed rel ' oinier jiroclaiming that the political salvation of the wmlil de])rnded on one idea that he had patented; neither could he become a mossl)ack standi)atter encased in an armor of insulation against all new ideas. He has too much sense to be the one, and too nmch humor to be the other. While in the legislature he was classed as a conservative- progressive. He was not always in the bell-tower ringing the alarm; neither was he in the cellar while the throng iiassed by. Nevertheless, he will always be at the fire and be a fifihter. The inore the people know of liilii the lietter they like him.
