PRAISES JUDGE cARDWELL
Tribute Paid BY Judge o. o.
Gwathmey, of King William.

Judge o. o. Gwathmey, member of tho
House from King William county. placing
in nomination Judge Cardwell as a sue
cessor to himself on the Supreme bench
OF the State on Tuesday, spoke in warm
est praise OF Judge Cardwell as follows:
Nearly generation ago two boards
invaded Virginia-the one friendly from
the South. the other from the North; but
on our overthrow, among the Southern
troops. none fought more bravely. none
dyed deepaS soil made sacred by their
life blood than the soldiers OF our sister
State of North Carolina. In that. army
was n long. lank YOUTH who, though he
bravely faced the foe on many battle
fields. God spared for greater usefulness.
When the war was over. like the typi-
cal tar heel" he stuck, so much enam-
ored was he with our State. He settled
in tho county of Hanover and engaged
in farming; but feeling, perhaps but dimly
then, that he could serve the State of
his adoption better in another sphere.
he left the farm and went into law
office In this city to study law. There
my acquaintance with him first began.
Next found him practiong at the Han
over bar. Soon his people, approaching
his sterling worth, made him their repre-
sentative After a few terms, the House
showed it's appreciation by making him
their Supeaker and there few years
later the Legislature hbnored him with
our highest judicial honors. When he
was first chosen there were many who
feared that on account OF his comparn-
lively small practice and his long politi-
cal career, no was not we'll fitted for his
high position: but soon they found their
doubts dispelled, for from the first he
proved strong and able Justice. And
while my recent retirement from the
bench has prevented mo from having
much personal experience of tho present
| court, quote the Language of ono of the
ablest lawyers Of this State whose BUSH
ness before that court is perhaps the
| largest OF any lawyer In the State, who
| says that he Is one of the strongest of
our able court. and his retirement from
| the bench would be serious loss to the
| Commonwealth. AS citizen, statesman,
| jurlst, he has measured up to the full
! stature of n man, even Of the man whose
| massive frame covers a heart than which
| mono warmer beats In this Common
| wealth.
Gentlemen, never mado any pretense
| to oratory. ! regret intensely that / can
| lay nothing better than this poor chap
let at the feet of one have known so
long. whose sterling integrity. rugged
honesty In these days of graft, strong,
| clear and conservative mind and warm
heart. has drawn me closer and closer
to him. till my admiration and love and
/ veneration for him could scarcely be
\ exceeded We're he my own father. Mr.,
/ Speaker, esteem 1t a high honor, a pecu-
i liar privilege, to nominate your distn-
\ gushed father, the Hon. r. II. Cardwell,
US one OF the Judges of our Court OF
! Appeals.
