Hon. ID. NJ. Furches, the subject
of this sketch, was named by the
Peoples party State convention aS a
man whose ability, whose knowledge
Of law, whose purity of charactt1
and whose reputation for breadth
and liberty, SO eminently fit him to
serve on a nOn-partlsan Supreme
court, was born April the 2lst, 1892.
He was educated at Union Academy,
and read law at the famous law
school of Chief Justice Pearson.
After securing his license he settled
in Mocksyille, n. c., in 1896, to prac-
tice his profession. lie was elected
from the county of Dayie to the State
constitutional convention of 1860.
In the summer OF 1866 he moved to
StatesviIle, \ c, where he still re
sides. In 1872 he was nominated
for congress and made Il splendid
campaign. His popularity and great
integrity enabled him to reduce an
opposing majority of four thousand
votes to less than eight hundred !;
thus showing that if the opposing ma
iority had not been over three thous
and he would have overcome it, and
been elected triumphantly. Indeed
his defeat 10y SO small IA majority was
a splendid victory. la August, 1879,
upon the resignation of Judge
Mitchell, he was appointed to the
Supreme court bench to succeed him.
He served in this position with
marked fairness, ability, and with
great satisfaction to the people until
1873. In 1880 he again made the
race for congress, and again pulled
down the opposing majority to about
the same notch. In 1888 he wa,
nominated on the Republican ticket
for the position of Supreme Cour
Judge. In 1892 he was the Repub
Iican nominee for Governor of NORTH
Carolina. He has been twice mar
ried, the first time to Miss ElIz;
bingham, and the last time to Mis-
Lulie Coopenning.
1t will be seen from the abov
= sketch that he has ever since the wa
been in the thickeSt of the fight, bu
like Judge Faircloth, during tn
, bitterest fight his political opponent

Therefore we have not been able to

with a remarkable mature mind, yet
be Is still rather youthful in appear
ance. Outside of representing Will
son county in the General Assembly
we believe he has never held any
office till he was made Judge of the
Superior court. On the bench he
was a model Judge. He has never
been popular with the corporations,
vet not one of them can charge that
he ever made an unjust charge or
ruling against them. The fact that
he has tried to be absolutely fair and
lust toward all parties, persons and
interests, is no doubt their greatest
objection to him. And this explains
why the Peoples party selected him
as one of the men who should sit on
high, just and bipartisan Su,
preme court bench. But there II
another strong reason in his favor
He is one of the few Superior cour
adges in North Carolina, who hav'

Democratic Silver Plank.
Owe denounce the Republican leg
islation known as the Sherman act
of 1890, as a cowardly makeshift,
fraught with possibilities of danger
in the future, which should make all
of its supporters, as we'll as its an
thor, anxious for its speedy repeal.
We hold to the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money of the
country, and to the coinage of both
gold and silver without discrimina-
ton against either metal, or charge
for mintage, but the dollar unit OF
coinage of both metals must be OF
equal intrinsic and exchangeable val
ue or be adjusted through interna
tional agreement, or by such safe
guards of legislation as shall insure
the maintenance Of the parity of th'
two metals and the equal power o.
every dollar at all times in the mar
kets and in payments of debts; anC
we demand that all paper currenc.
shall be kept at par with and re
deemable in such coin. We insiS
upon this policy as especially nee
essary for the protection of the farm
ers and laboring classes, the hrs
and most defenseless victims of un
stabbed money and a fuctuating cul

made for clerks, so he can direct his

There is In the play OF Macbeth with

night. a line uttered as the evening

OF the twilight. and the setting in of thick
darkness upon human soul. Macbeth
Is the prey of a profound world-weari-
ness When the play opens the sun Is
already dropping below the verge. and at
sunset strange winds arise, and gather
the clouds TO windward with mysterious
pause and stir. SO that the play OF Mac
BETH opens with the movement OF mys-
terious and spiritual powers. The witches
Of Macbeth are not the broomstick
witches OF vulgar popular tradition. If
they are grotesque. they are also sublime
they are entitled to take their place be
side the terrible old women who spin
the destinies Of men. Modjeska Will brint
