JOSEPH LLOYD BORTON
(Continued from page I)
mediately opened his law office in
the Town of hie. birth. 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

attention.. Jhere .was every nromise
that he was at the threshhold of a
career, which would no only bring
further honor to himself but distinc
tion to hia family and to his State,,
for indeed he ems a man, "whoehot
square with his fees and toted fair
with his friends."
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.
Let all who reach for a vanished hand
take comfort for they who are sep
arated shall meet again, for this great
and brilliant personage of whom I
speak is hot dead, he is only away?in J
another?a nobler existence, for .
"There is no night; the stare go
down
To rise upon some far-off shore,
And in Heaven's jeweled crown,
They shine forever, more."
In lpf6, Judge Horton was married
to the charming, gracious and attrac
tive Viae Bailie Keel, of JPhnnville,
who with one son^ J. Lloyd Horton,
Jr., and one daughter, Miw Jean

lawyer and jurist, whom,dpring his
life, they were wont to honor, that

constant inspiration, a lasting and

The agreement between the Unl*
ed States and the Danish Minister to
thM ~;OwmiJry, which authorizes tile
defensive occupation, of Greenland by
Amensan forces, end the estahlish
ment of air and naval bases by* this,
country on. the ice-covered Danish
colony, eattonds the defensive screen
of the United States much closer to
the war in Europe. By this step,
hemisphere defenses haws been great
ly, strengthened and Hitler has been
warned against encroachments in
the Western Atlantic.
| ? S .
Moreover, the means have been
provided for mora effective protec
tion of ships carrying war materials
to tha.Btitish Isles. The probability
is that the United States will extend
her aeptmlity patrol almost to thn
edge of Iceland. The bases in Green-,
Iliad will faciliate the defense of'
Canada and the Northern part of
the United States in the event of hos
tilities with any European power.

The strategic value of Greenland
explains the action of the United
-States but the Ihresidettt makes plain
the fact that this is designed to
maintain Greenland in its present j
status as a colony of penmark*. The.
flight of German planes over Green
land hpve been recently reported
and last year German landing parties
-were put ashore on the Eastern coast
of Greenland for .the purpose of
making scientific surveys. Meat*
while, the probability exists that the
111 ? S 1 - 11,1 l ~ w ? wm ^
bases in Greenland will be used to
prevent extension of Germany's sub
marine activity^ toward the North
American continent.
? ,g.;^??
An interesting aftermath of; the
agreement was the action of the
Government of Denmark, at Cop
enhagen, in ordering the^mojip of
the Danish beeauge of hieJ
negotiation of the Greenland agree?
ment. The Minister, however, as
