The customs Of mourning as prae-
ticed in various parts OF the world
seem at first sight to have little rela.
ton with each other. or with the In
ward grief which they are supposed
to typlfy. Yet by the exercise Of a
little patience, many resemblances may
be discovered among them. The Wild
ow's cap, for example, dates back 20
the days OF ancient Egypt. Egyptian
men shaved the beard and the head as
token OF mourning The women,
Instead Of cutting or the hair. con.
cealed II by close cap. The Romans.
who were as a race clean shaven. shaw
ed the head In mourning and wore a
wig. The black band on the sleeve, as
sign OF mourning, comes TO us from
the days OF chlvalry. The lady tied a
scarf or napkin, as the handkerchief
was called. about the arm OF her
knight. II he was killed In battle she
wore the band In memory of him.
Black has so long been the color Of
grief In AnglO-SaxOn countries that IL
seems part Of the upside-down civil
ization Of the East that Japan and
China wear white. But no longer ago
than the time of Elizabeth the unfor.
tunate Mary Of Scotland wore white
on the death % Darnley. Even now
the hearse used for children Is white,
and In England the mourners at fun
erals OF young, unmarried persons wear
hatbands and sashes of white. A queer
English custom is that OF decorating
the black hearse horses with long, false
black tails. They attract no more no
tice on street in Liverpool than do
the black nets used in this country to
cover the horses. A great many sensi-
BILE people protest that wearing tokens
Of mourning is a barbaric custom that
should be abolished or greatly modi-
fed; but when loss and grief actually
come into the individual life. one dis
covers that there is a strange. subtle
fitness In gloomy garments, and that
they answer to the need of the soul
for silence and separation.

profession and of his position and
carefully avoided words or actions
which might tend to lower the
dignity of either Although never
a politician in the ordinary accep-
tion of the term, Judge Howard,
from his early youth throughout his
career, was a student of the history
and development of the institutions
of his state and the Republic, and to
the last manifested an untiring in
terest in public affairs. His studies
led him to accept the theories and
principles of the Democratic party and
it's founders.
Devoted to the interests of his state
and country, he was always opposed
to men of extreme views and to
radical measures. In the memorable
the nomination of Stephen A. Doug
lass for the presidency When the
convention Of 1861 was called he was
elected a delegate. Believing that
the general government, as we'll as
tn state government. took its author
ity, SO far as the people Of North
Carolina were concerned, from the
exercised sovereignty of the people
of the state in convention assembled,
he believed also that the people in
convention assembled by the exercise
of that same sovereignty, might at
viii resume the authority they had
delegated TO the government. He
therefore voted for the ordinance of
secession. He was chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs and
supported all measures for the Wig
orous prosecution of the war and de-
fenge of the state.
Judge Howard remained on the
bench until the establishment OF the
provisional government" by Presi-
dent Johnson, when all the Judges
retired. His judicial career was
mhrked by ability learning, firm
ness and impartiality
He was elected a delegate to the
convention of 1865. Having acted
in accordance with his honest con-
victions during the war, he accepted
the result in good faith, but refused
to vote for or indorse any measure

faith OF himself or Of his people His
course in the convention was

Yet, after all, though the problems
arc new, though the tasks set before
us differ from the tasks set before
our fathers who founded and pre-
served this Republic, the spirit in
which these tasks must be undertaken
and these problems faced, if our
duty is to be we'll DONE remains es-
sentiaIly unchanged. We know that
government is difficult. We
know that no people needs such high
traits of character as that people

But we have faith that we shall not
prove false to the memories of the
men of the mighty past They did
their work, they left us the splendid
heritage we now enjoy. We in our
turn have an assured confidence that
we shall be able to leave this herit-
age unwasted and enlarged to our
children and our childrens children.
To do so we must show, not merely
in great crises, but in the everyday
affairs of life, the qualities of practi-
cal intelligence, of courage, of hardi-
hood and endurance, and above all
the power of devotion to a lofty ideal,
which made great the men who

Judge George Howard was born,
September %, 1929, in Tarboro, n.
c., the son of George Howard, a
native of Baltimore, and of Alice
Clark Thurston, native of Carolina
county, Virginia. He received his
education in the schools of his native
town, and at an early age became
editor of the Tarboro Southemer, one
Of the Oldest and one of the most in
f1uential newspapers in the State.
Later he studied law under Judge
William H. Battle at Chapel Hill, and
was admitted to the bar at the spring
term of the Supreme Court, 1850. He
returned to Tarboro to practice his
profession. During the year. 1854 he
removed to the town of Wilson, where
he soon acquired a large practice.
Elected reading clerk of the House
of Commons at the session of 1856,
he was largely instrumental in secur-
ing the passage of the bill establish
ing the new county of Wilson. In
1859 he was appointed judge of the
Superior Court of Law and Equity by
Governor Ellis, and at the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly he was
elected to the same position for life.
BY nature and by training Judge
Howard was admirably fitted for the
bench. Possessed of a strong intel
lect he was a close and careful stu
dent, had an exalted opinion of his

tremendous changes wrought by the
extraordinary Industrial development
of the last half century are felt in
every fiber of our social and political
being. Never before have men tried
so vast and formidable an expert
ment as that of administering the af-
fairs of a continent under the forms
of a democratic republic. The con-
ditions which have told for our mar
yelous material well-being, which
have developed to very high degree
our energy, self-reliance, and indi-
vidual initiative, have also brought
the care and anxiety inseparable
from the accumulation of great
wealth in industrial centers. Upon
the success of our experiment much
depends; not only as regards our
own welfore, but as regards the well
fare of mankind. If we fail, the
cause of free self-government
throughout the world will rock to
its foundations; and therefore our
responsibility is heavy, to ourselves,
to the world a sit is today, and to the
generations yet unborn. There is no
good reason why Te should fear the
future, but there is every reason why
we should face it seriously, neither
hiding from ourselves the gravity of

Judge Howard was member of

gate to the Democratic convention
in 1863 In 1867 he was a member
of the State Senate. In all things
true to the honor of the South and
of the Democratic party, he believed
in burying the past, and without
hesitancy supported all measures ne
cessary to the adjustment OF the law to
the new conditions resulting from the
war and from the abolition Of slavery.
From that time Judge Howard de-
voted himself to the practice of his
profession and the management of
