HON. ii. &. CONNOR.
An Inspiring Example to The Youth
of North Carolina.
(Goldsboro ArguS.l

Hon. Fl. G.. Conner. Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court, passed
through Goldsboro Saturday night on
his return from Raleigh 10 his home
at Wilson, the Supreme Court having
adjourned until next fall.
After long session of the Court,
which involves an immense amount
of work, Judge Connor is in the best
of health. In fact the Judge is one of
those men who seems never to get
tired. Saturday night, as we looked
at this distinguished son of North
Carolina, we began to Illuminate, -
as dear old Bill Arp used to say, and
two pictures in bold relief stood out
on the canvass of the panorama Of
memory.
An humble home, parents poor, a
son cheerfully toiling in boyhood to
help his father and mother make a
living while other boys We're at
school, cleaning a little knowledge
at odd times from books, but storing
up knowledge day by day, then study
ing law and entering upon the hard
struggle for a foot-hold in that pro-
fesson.
Then the scene shifted. In the 9TH
er picture, we see the young lawyer
barely making living, working and
waiting, with faith in himself, faith in
men, faith in God never swerving
from the path of duty; after awhile
the days grew brighter, success comes
to him in the practice, after time
followed by a call to the Superior
Court Bench of the State, holding this
position with great credit to himself
and the State, until for business rea-
sons he resigned; elected by his home
people. when the State was well-nigh
ruined by the Fusion crowd, repre-
senting Wilson county in the Legisla-
ture and promptly chosen Speaker OF
the House of Representatives Then
the people elected him Judge of the
Supreme Court of North Carolina
AS we Illuminated on these two
pictures, we asked ourself the ques-
ton is it possible that the poor boy
OF the humble home is the good and
great Judge in the other picture?
Such examples as these prove the
greatness of a government like ours
/ beacons to the boys and young men
. Of our country.
