HON. AUGUSTUS LE.AZAR.

The news OF the death of Hon. Au-
gustus Leazar. of Ireden, was not I'M
expected. He has been ill for months
indeed has not been in good health
since 1896 when he retired as super.
intendent of the States prison.
Mr.. Leazar did the State great ser
vice. He represented Iredell four o,
five times in the House. serving az
Speaker during his last term. No
honester or Drawer or more uSefu,
man has served in the Legislature
since the war. He has left his irn-
press upon the statutes. He stood To-,
the best in public life. He was hon.
est and unafraid. He fought haro
battles for the peoples rights when
it called for courage to fight against
wrong and injustice. He was q de-
batter of resource and power: was
guided by conscience and right, and
was one of the honestest and wisest
public servants the State has known.

People stand BY Courageous Officials

+ The time has passed in the history
not only of this State but jn the Ell
tire country when the people expect
the courts and public officials TO wink
at vice and lawlessneSS. The public
official who is strong enough and who
has courage to quietly, but firmly, go
forward. finds more backing from the
public than he evar had before, and
il can be said truthfully there is less
maudlip sentiment for yiolators OF
the law than there has ever b"cn in
all the past. In the great cities there
is almost constant warfare on vice.
and vice has Il harder row to hoe to-
day than ever before. The iight
against lawlcssncss gains strength
each Nelr.
