ship with Mr.. John Fl. Small which
continued until his appointment as
Judge Of the Superior Court by Gov
ernor Scales in December of the same
year, to fill the unexpired term of Judge
Shepherd. Thus was evidenced the Gov
ernor's appreciation of his legal ability
and his many and valuable services to
the Democratic party. He was nomi-
mated by the Democratic party to sue
coed himself in 1890, and was elected
and qualified ON January LIST, 1891. OF
his career as a Superior Court Judge 1t
is only necessary to say that North Caro-
lima has never had more just or more
able jurist on the bench.
At the State Convention in 1896 Judge
Brown was honored by his party with
the nomination for Associate Justice OF
the Supreme Court, but was defeated,
with so many other good men, in the
tidal wave of Eusionism. He was una
imously nominated for Judge of the SUI
perior Court again i'll 1898, and re-e1ect-
ed.
Judge Brown was most happily mar
ried to Mrs. Laura r.. Lewis in 1871.
1t was one of those fortunate unions
that bring blessings and good fortune
to men. She is a woman OF rare intelli-
gence and culture, with strong convic-
tons of duty, firm in her conclusions,
and loyal to her friends. She has faith
in her own sex. and is never more enter
tanning or impressive than when cham
pioning their cause. She takes an active
interest in public affairs. She possesses a
charming personality, which is never
shown to better advantage than when
entertaining in her own home. Her
friends, as we'll as his, say that She has
exercised a most beneficial influence
upon the life of her distinguished hus-
band.
As a man Judge Brown is one of the
easiest To approach; he has no overDear-
ing ideas Of dignity, he IS thoroughly
sociable and is always mindful that we
are all human. He is noted for his
sturliness Of character and loyalty to
his friends and beliefs, also for his
qnickness and acuteness Of mind, the
wide range Of his knowledge and his
force. He Is a most rapid thinker and
worker. He possesses to an unusual de
gree the power of concentration, the
ability to grasp complicated facts and
retain them. and withal a logical mind
which usually leads to a Just conclusion.
He is not 4 seeker after notoriety, nor
is he proficient IN the art OF self adyer-
tisement so that it may be said that
the ellyiable position he has reached is
truly due to assidious labor and deyo-
ton to the duties Of his life work. When
Judge Brown accepted the appointment
of Governor Scales TO the Superior
Court, he really made a great personal
sacrifice in that he abandoned large
and lucrative practice which yielded

and the Hayesyille High School, and al
so at Franklin High School, in Macon
county. He began the study of law
at Franklin. in Macon county, later
taking a law course at the University of
North Carolina, graduating in 1892, and
was admitted to the bar in Sept. 1892.

himself with Walter II. Moore, of Web

the firm name of Moore and Moore.

firms of that section and which contin-
ued until Jan. LIST of the present year
when our subject was elected Judge Of
the Superior court from the Twelfth

term of Judge Norwood, resigned
Judge Moore's success, in life is due to
the power and keenness of his intellect
as we'll as to the strength and force of
his character He is the youngesr
member of the bench, and does honor TO
it-by his logical and cool decisions pos
sessing as he does to the full the judicial
temperament that alone can make sue
cessful judge.
During his short term of office he has
amply fulfilled the most sanguine ex-
pectations of his friends and ardent sup
porters. He is polite and patient and
dispatches business with a rapidity sell
dom seen ON the bench His rulings are
just and fair and usually meet the APP
prevail of the bar and people and attest
the high respect and confidence he has
won.
In politics he is a loyal and true Dem
ocrat, Jealous for the good of his party,
and his present position is the first office
he has ever held.
Judge Moore has but commenced a
career, where there awaits him many
high honors. He is, to use comman
phrase, a coming man. At home the
Judge is as well liked as he is we'll
known and popular abroad. In private
circles he is equally the centre of at
traction.
On Nov. 9th 1895 he married Miss
Lele Enloe, OF Dillsboro, Jackson colifi-
ty, and one daughter has blessed this
union. Judge Moore has beautiful
home i'm Asheyille, where, while not on
the bench Judge Moore will be found
with his good wife and daughter enjoy
ing the comforts of a happy and content
ed home.

Mr.. Mclean is hard worker in the
cause of Democracy. He has made,
voluntarily, canVasses of the county for
several elections, but never ran for an
office until nominated for solicitor at
Rockingham in May, 1898. 1t must be
remembered that the fusion majority in
1896, OF the district, as shown by the
Congressional vote was over 5000. In
the face of this fact, Mr.. Mclean after
d hard fought campaign was elected by
q majority in excess of $500 votes.
Mr.. Mclean married April 18th, 1888,
Miss Mary r. Bizzell and enjoys all the
comforts of a pleasant and happy home.
AS a lawyer and solicitor he has few
peers and no superiors He is careful
and painstalQiDg in the preparation of his
cases and is fine and eloquent speaker.
Personally. he is a pleasant, genial gem
tleman who has the happy faculty of
making and keeping friends.
His future is indeed of a roseate hue
and North Carolina will hear from this
gentleman as newer laurels are added
to the many he already possesses.

considerable amount.
10 conclude we will venture to say
that Judge Browns great success in life
has been due to thorough discipline,
close attention to the professional du-
ties and the wants of the people, edu-
cation and culture, his pure public and
private life, and the conscientiousness
with which he discharges the duties of
all the offices he has held.
