The following is the annual address
of Colonel Thomas S. Kenan, Presi-
dent of the State Bar Association, de-
livered at the opening of the conven-
ton at Lake Toxaway:
Colonel Kenan's Address.
Gentlemen: Article XI. of your con-
stitution makes it obligatory upon the
president to deliver an address, but he
is allowed the privilege of selecting its
sui. .Ject. Assuming the right TO place
a liberal construction on this article,
l have ventured to depart from the
general custom in that | have not con-
/ fined myself to any particular subject.
After completing the course of study
at Judge Pearsons law school L was
| licensed to practice law in the county
courts in December, 1853, and in the
! Superior Courts in December, 1859. L
i recall the names of but few members
OF this body who antedate me. The
ancient procedure of the common law
| and the old system of pleading and
| practice were then in vogue, but they
| have been swept away by blizzard
| of reform. | opened a law office In
fKenansville, Duplin county, i'm 1860,
and the first suit in which | was en-
plCy ed was upon a note for the recov-
cry OF considerable sum or money.
The defendant was brought into court
| by due process, and when l saw upon
the docket that the demand of the
| plaintiff was met by an entry of Pay
ment; setoff; accord and satisfaction;
stat linn. with leave to add" which
meant any other plea in defence, as nil
| debet or non est factum l was riotous-
| ly inclined to enter mol pros, leave
the court house, abandon the practice
and engage in other business. How
ever, upon being Informed by older
| lawyers that these pleas We're merely
| formal, my fears We're disSipated and
the suit was prosecuted to judgment
When the*moncy was collected l gave
receipt to the officer for the amount,
as attorney of the plaintiff mounted
my horse and went to the plaintiff S
house about a mile from the village
and paid it to him. The amount was
SO big that / wished to be relieved at
once of the responsibility of keeping
| it until my client came to town. More
over, / had some professional pride at
| the successful termination of my first
suit, and wished the client to be furn-

Shortly after my marriage L had
bought a connection in Paddington
district. Old Mr.. Farquhar from whom
] purchased it, had at one time an ex-
cellent general practice; but his age
