His 'ability , was promptly recognized. He met with mstant success at the Pitt Coun ty Bar, which then counted among its practitioners some of the ablest law yers in North Carolina ? notably,<3 Thos. J. Jarvis, Harry Skinner and F. G. James. From the very outset of his career, this young man proved his worth, and from the very begin ning was able to successfully meas ure sword in legal combat with older and more experienced Counsellors I", and advocates. It was not long until his worthy ambition led him to offer his name as a candidate for Solicitor of our County Court, which bad re cently been established. He was duly elected send was at once recognised as a vigorous prosecutor. This posi tion he held about three years, when he ran for and was duly elected to the office of Solicitor for the Fifth. Judicial Disrict, at whic time he was only twenty-four years of age; hut. his age was in no sense a handicap, for he was a zealous advocate. In the legal forays of the Courts of the District he asked no quarter and he gave none. The Courthouse was tru ly his sphere; here he was a master? A McGregor upon his native heath. During his. incumbency in this im portant office, Judge Gukm who had been appointed to Succeed our own Harry Whedbee as Judge of the Fifth Judicial District, died, and he immediately offered as a Candidate for this high office. His campaign was successful, and at the. age of twenty-six, he went upon the Bench, the youngest man ever to be so sig nally honored. In this office he serv ed lor five yean, during which time he presided over some of the State's most important litigation and fully measured up to Lord Bacon's esti mate of a Judge: "That he should be more learned than witty, more reverent than plausible, more advised than confident, with integrity aa his portion and proper virtue.'' Judge Horton wag gifted with a brilliant legal mind; he possessed an. instinctive understanding of. human nature; he was congenial, with bis fellow man, he was entirely human; he despised double deafing, trickery ? and deception; he abhorred hypocrisy, cowardice and deceit. Loyal in his friendships, true to his convictions, he commanded in the fullest measure the raspaet and admiration of all who 1 | 1,1,,. -1 UJffW Rim.

Yet open the very tnre&nnoia ox a brilliant life, he was claimed by the Grim Reaper, that plays no favorites, and just eighteen months after re signing from the Bench, when he was just thirty-two- years of age,on July fed rewt spread that he was no mere^rmat he had succumbed to a fatal madady. < But in the memory of all of us, he ? continues to live as a great jurist, a strong advocate, a wise counsellor, a devoted husband, a fond- father, a loyal friend. s - - To those who cherish his memory, and all of us do, there rises in our hearts a well spring of Hope. To those who long for a face no more to be seen, let your souls- cease to ream.
