M-tMK By ROBERT H. MOULTON VERY time the name of Andrew Jackson comes up--and that is pretty often --the old controversy over his birthplace Is sure to be revived. Every good American knows all about "Old Hickory"--or should know--except about the place of his birth. And uncertainty about his birthplace is natural, inasmuch as It still is in dispute between the states of North and South Carolina. As to the rest, after service in the Revolution and a*wild youth on the frontier, Andrew Jackson became a lawyer at Nashville, then In North Carolina. He served in the national house and senate, representing Tennessee. He defeated the Creeks and Seminoles In the War of 1812 and his defeat of the British at New Orleans In 1815 was one of the decisive battles of American history, Inasmuch as if Pakenham had captured New Orleans Great Britain would presumably never have let go of the mouth of the Mississippi. He was the -first American governor of Florida (1821). He was the seventh president of the United States. His firm stand against nullification by South Carolina in 1832 is history. The "spoils system" is linked with his name. His devotion tq his wife touches the people's heart. "Old Hickory" was red-headed and individual. He 1s a popular figure of our history. i, The birthplace controversy Is a sort of doublebarreled dispute. First there Is the controversy!: over the house in which he was born--the Mc- Kemey home or the Crawford home. After this, had apparently been settled in favor of the Crawford house, the next question was: Was the Crawford house In North Carolina or In South Carolina? You see, Andrew Jackson's father died and was buried close to the North Carolina-South Carolina state line. From the funeral Andrew's mother went either to the home of her sister, Mrs. James Crawford or to the home of another sister, Mrs. George McKemey. And in one of these two houses Andrew was born. The two houses were only a few miles apart, but the Crawford place Is now in South Carolina and the McKemey place In North Carolina. The truth Is--or seems to be--that In 1787, the date of his birth, the line between the two states had not been permanently settled. It was not until 1815 thpt the boundary line dispute between the two states was settled at a conference between the governors at Greenville, S. C. That was the occasion of the historic remark of the governor of North Carolina to the governor of South Carolina, which is even truer now than then. But if there Is controversy over "Old Hickory's*- birthplace, there Is recompense In the "Hermitage," where he lived and died--the picturesque historical home is just as its owner and builder left it. Of all the historical homes in the United States none is more picturesque or of more interest than the "Hermitage." It lies within twelve miles of Nashville, Tennessee, on a road that runs through a rich, rolling plain, dotted with great oaks rising out of grassy meadows, the fields bordered with wild flowers. Jackson's holdings comprised about 1,000 acres, and his land was some of the finest in Tennessee. He was evidently a good farmer, for there are records of his accounts among the papers of the "Hermitage." The great barn which he/built while he was yet President of the United States Jg^ still standing. It is situated on a knoll some distance back from the house. / President Jackson bought this property about the time that Thomas Jefferson first took his seat as President of the United States. It was the beginning of the century, and the house which he first built upon it, away4>ack In 1804, is still standing. It is a one-story-and-attlc log cabin, with a red brick chimney at one end and. a roof of rough shingles. It was there that Jackson lived In 1805. There was his home when he foughFthe battle of New Orleans in 1815. And there he and his wife spent some of the happiest years of th^r lives. The "Hermitage" proper is the hojlise which Andrew Jackson built in 18S5 when We was still President. The site where It standywas selected in 1819, and a home was built therefof brick made on the place. It was In that home that Lafayette was entertained, and there Mrs. Ratoel Jackson, the wife of the general, lived until snv died Just after her husband was elected President. The clothes which she expected to wear at the White House receptions had been made, but she away on the eve of his departure tlon.

The stem of the guitar is the driveway, which is bordered by magnificent cedars set close together. Where the body of the guitar begins there are flowers and trees of many kinds rising eat of a lawn of the greenest great. All the trees and plants were set out by Jackson. The "Hermitage" is a great old-fashioned red brick of colonial style with wide verandas on the front and rear. The house is about 100 feet front, with six tall columns in front of the porches^ The windows are large, and each has panes of 10 by 12 glass. The entrance is in the center of the bniiding, and a wide hallway runs through the middle of the house on both floors. This hall Is so eUirge that a wagon load of hay could be* driven through It without touching the sides. At the back of the hall a mahogany stairway winds its way to the second floor. At the right as you enter is another hall upon which are Jackson's bedroom and library, while at the left are the parlors, which communicate with each other. The dining room, which is by far the largest room of the house, is beyond these, reached by a door from veranda. . The bedroom of one of the greatest presidents i> in the same condition today as it was when be occupied It. The same pictures are on the walls, the same bedclothes on the bed, even to the white counterpane. Imagine a room twenty feet square with a great mahogany four-poster bed at the aad at It. At the left of the bed are three little steps, and the mattresses with the great feather tick on top are so high that one must climb the steps to get into It. Those very steps were used by "Old Hickory." The love of Andrew Jackson surpassed that of ordinary men. It shines out everywhere about the "Hermitage." There are paintings of Mrs. Jackson In almost every room snd he had medallions and other remembrances of her. In his bedroom Is an oil painting of her, so placed that hie saw It first on entering and so that it met his eyes the last thing at night and greeted them when he lint opened them In the morning. s We have all read the story of his marriage, «< how lye protected her from her drunken first husband. p LeVs Robards, and how he married her aft>r Robards was believed by both to obtalifcd a divorce.

Dickinson, who was eager for political recognition, publicly) branded Jackson as a coward and at* tacked the reputation of Jackson's wife. Dickinson was a famous marksman and had killed his man. Jackstm was a poor shot. The duel was on Ken* tuckj ^soil. Dickinson fired first and shot to klU. Jackson did not fall Dickinson was amased possibly a bit terrified. He Rtepped back from the mark. The seconds ordered him to take his position again. Jackson took deliberate aim and fired. Dickinson fell, shot through the breast, and died that night. Jackson walked off the field slowly and without spy signs of emotion. Not nntll eral minutes later did he inform his seconds that he was desperately wounded. He had been shot through the upper breast and one of his boots waa full of blood. He was laid up a month. The nation wanted Jackson for president In 1824. He got the highest vote In the electoral college, but not a majority, and the house of representatives, through a combination between Adams and Clay, made John Quincy Adams president. That soured Jackson and he resigned from the senate. He began to lay his plans for the next presidential campaign. The prospect of becoming the first lady of the land terrified Mrs. Jackson. She was probably the only woman who had this glory near her who had no ambition to attain it. She begged the general to eschew politics, to return to the "Hermitage1 And enjoy peace and quietude for the rest of their lives. He promised to do so, and sincerely ehdeavored to fulfill his promise, but the attacks that were made upon him by the opposition gradually weakened his resolution and he was drawn back into the fight. The day in 1828 that word came to the "Hermitage" that Andrew Jackson had been elected president of the United States was one of the saddest In all the life of Mrs. Jackson. She died a few days later. "Old Hickory" went to Washington. A few months later he was inaugurated as president of the United States* But it was a grief-stricken man who took the oath of office. In the old-fashioned garden of the "Hermitage'* which, with Its flower beds surrounded by their little brick walls, Is kept today just as It was, and at the back of It, shaded by great magnolia trees, we find thaJTackson tomb. It is a little temple ending In a oome, below which stands a pyramidal monument. On one side of this monument under a slab lie the remains of Andrew Jackson and on the other, under a similar slab, those of his wife. The grave of Jackson has an Inscription of but three lines. They are: * r r • • • . • - - t t r i . . i • Remembered Admonition. One day I invited some girls over to see our new home. Jerome was sitting In a rocker quietly, hands folded.

William Allen, who was a neighbor of the general, and who messed with him during the Creek war. During the campaign the soldlen were moving rapidly to surprise the Indians, and were without tents. A cold March rain came on,, mingled with sleet, Which lasted for several days. General Jackson got a severe cold, but did not complain as be slept in a muddy bottom among the lialf-frozen soldiers. Captain Allen and his brother cut down a stout hickory tree, peeled off the bark, and made a covering for the general, who was with difficulty: \ persuaded to crawl under It. The next morning a soldier seeing the tent, and not knowing what it was, kicked It over. As Jackson crawled from .the ruins, the soldier stood aghast.
