bun and Miss Mary Finlayson.
Miss Louise Milliken, a student at
■ St. Mary’s, Raleigh, was also pres
ent for the ceremony honoring her
late grandfather.
In announcing the event, the
News and Observer published the
following article on the life of the
distinguished jurist:
(From Raleigh News & Observer)
One morning in 1865, a small
boy stood with his legs wound
around the gatepost before his
home in Pittsboro, watching Sher
man’s cavalry ride out from their
encampment across the way.
“Hi, Jimmy!” one of the Yan
kee soldiers called as he rode by.
The little boy almost fell from his
perch in surprise. How could the
cavalryman know his name?
The soldier who called the cas
ual greeting didn’t, of course,
know the boy’s name. But later
generations of Tar Heels did and
still remember it.
The boy was James Smith Man
ning, later to be prominent as
lawyer, politician. Associate. Jus
tice of the Supreme Court and
State Attorney General.
Judge Manning was born June
1, 1859, the son of John and Louisa
Hall Manning. As a boy he at
tended Morson and Denson acad
emy in Pittsboro and in 1875 en
tered the University of North Car
olina. He graduated in 1879 and
taught school for two years while
studying law under his father,
who had been named first dean of
the University’s Law school.
In later years, Judg^ Manning
was to serve for nearly 30 years
on the University board of trus
tees. Partly because, of his fa
ther’s connection with the Univer
sity-Manning Hall, the law build
ing there, is named in John Man-

NOTICE or LAND SALE
Johnson’s Food store is solvent
and will pay out, it has been de
termined by Russell Lorenson,
auditor, who was appointed 10
days ago by Judge F. Don Phillips
to straighten out the tangled af
fairs of the concern.
Mr. Lorenson said there were
several prospects for sale of the
store and it is hoped to close a
deal v/ithin a week, netting the
approximate book value of the
stock and fixtures. According to
inventory taken last week, it is
estimated that this will be ample
to pay off the debts of the busi
ness.
She said no sale will be comple
ted which will not pay the bills
100 per cent, without permission
of the creditors.
W. Morris Johnson, owner of
the business in limited partner
ship with Helen M. Johnson, left
town Sunday, March 26, for parts
unknown. No formal search is be
ing made for him, it is under-
istood. One creditor filed suit
April 4 but it is not effective as
papers could not be served. This
creditor has agreed to await de
velopments of the trusteeship.

ning’s honor—the Judge counted
his position on the board of trus
tees and as a member of the exec
utive committee among his high
est honors.
At the October, 1882, term of
Supreme Court, the young Man
ning took his examination for ad
mission to the State bar. On Jan
uary 1, 1883, he began practicing
law in Durham.
Then, as many young lawyers
do, he entered politics.
He served as representative in
the House from Durham county
in the General Assembly of 1907,
and in the 1909 session he sat in
the Senate.
His real entrance into state pol
itics, however, can be counted
from the memorable campaign of
1908 which saw Governor W. W.
Kitchin win the nomination.
Manning was campaign man
ager for Kitchin at the hectic con
vention in Charlotte. With Kitch
in, Locke Craig, and Ashley
Horne battling for the nomination.
Manning’s chances hung in the
balance. But when Kitichin gain
ed the nomination after more than
350 ballots had been taken. Man
ning’s fortunes were made.
Shortly after Governor Kitchin
took office, Henry Groves Connor,
then Associate Justice on the
State Supreme Court, resigned his
post to accept the appointment as
U. S. District Judge for the East
ern North Carolina District.
The governor appointed his
campaign manager to fill the va
cancy.
Judge Manning served through
1909 and 1910, but was defeated
for renomination by Associate
Justice WiUiam R. Allen.
Returning to private law prac
tice, Manning became associated
with R. O. Everett in Durham
This partnership continued until
his friend’s term as governor ex
pired in 1913. Then Manning and
Kitchin formed a partnership to
practice law in Raleigh.
This partnership lasted until
Governor Kitchin’s health failed
during World War 1 and he was
forced to quit active practice.
In 1916, Judge Manning was
nominated for attorney general of
North Carolina. He occupied the
post without opposition in the pri
maries for two terms.
He refused to run for a third
term. The post of attorney gen
eral, he felt, was one naturally
much desired by the lawyers of
the state. For one man to occupy
the position for longer than two
terms was not fair to others who
would like to serve, he believed.
On leaving service as attorney
general, Judge Manning becamq
associated with his son, Maj. Gen.
John Hall Manning, in a'Raleigh
law partnership, an association
which continued until the Judge’s
death in 1938.
For a long period. Judge Man
ning and General Manning formed
a father-son team on the board of
trustees of the University of North
Carolina, serving perhaps longer
together than any other father
and son have done. Their service
together lasted more than 10
years, both retiring from service
when the Greater University was
consolidated.
Family
Judge Manning married Julia
Tate Cain of Hillsboro on Decem
ber 18, 1888 in Durham. In addi
tion to General Manning and Mrs.
Millikin, a daughter, Mrs. Junius
B. Powell and a son, Sterling C.
Manning, live in Raleigh.
