bar of Wilkes county Saturday. Au

Judge Fred .iloore, . who but for his
lart . illness and death would have
oresided over the present term of
WHlrrs miirt; '
"Whereas, the court, now In session,
and the bar of Wilkes county have
Just learned through this morning's
papsrg of the sad and untimely death
of Judge Fred Moore, wno was na
Ins: the court of the -thirteenth Judi
cial district, only last week, holding
court In Mitchell county, and but
for his recent fatal Illness would now
be presiding over tnis court; ana,
"Whereas, as we learn, this nan
reared in the mountains of North
Carolina, with no other advantages or
an education than those furniancd
him by tha public snd private schools
of hla section, went on the bench at
the early age of 29, and at the time
of his death was regarded as one or
the most eminent Judges of the State;
now. therefore, be tt
"Resolved. That in the death of
Judge Moore the State has lost one
of its noblest and best citizens, a
Just and upright Judge, and the legal
profession one of its most courteous,
genial and able members.
2. That we extend to the wire
and family of the deceased Judge, In
this sad hour of bereavement, our
most sincere condolence.
2. That a copy of thepe resols
tlons and preamble b furnished the:
press and tho family of Judge Moore.
"4. That since this Is Judge
Moore's court, upon the completion
of the most urgent matters on the
erlmlnal and civil dockets, Ihls court
adjourn In respect to the memory of
Judge Moore."
Judge O. II. Allen, holding the
court by designation of the Governor
in place of Judge Moore, presided and
W. W. Barber acted as secretary of
the meeting. Very feeling and ap
propriate remarks were made by Con
gressman Hackett, Solicitor Llnney
and Judge Allen. Court later ad
journed In respect to the memory
of the deceased Judge.
CONGO TREATY ADOPTED.
Annexation Treaty Passe Chamber
of Deputies by a Vote of 83 to &3
Action of tho Chamber Conies as
a fcurprlee nd Nearly Cau t)M
'ollapse of tho Cabinet Will
Solve) the Great Congo Problem.
Brussels, Aug. 20. After several
months of bitter struggle, the Cham
ber of Deputies to-day adojrted the
Congo annexation treaty by 8 3 votes
to f5, and although to-day's action
will Insure tife solution of the great
Congo problem, tjiere still remains
open the Important question of Bel
gium's financial responsibility.
This action on the part of the
chamber had not been expected, and
at the last moment nearly caused the
collapse of the Cabinet. During the
tlrKt reading recently of the colonial
bill, whlsh provides for the adminis
tration of the Congo Indepenient
Stale, and whkh with the treaty wa.s
adopted to-day, Herr Woester, leader
of tho Hlcht, scoured the adoption of
an amendment relieving Belgium of
the responsibility of guaranteeing the
payment of the Interest on the Congo
debt, but yenterday th government
made a determined effort to secure
the restoration of tho stipulation that
Belgium would make advances to Con
go In case of necessity. The govern
ment was defeated in thl.s, however,
and It was generally believed that the
ministers would be forced to resign.
At the conclusion of a long meeting
of King Leopold and the members of
his Cabinet, It was announced that the
Cabinet would not resign, the govern
ment temporarily accepting the Cabi
net's action on tho financial question.
It was pointed out, however, that a
djreel contradiction exists between the
treaty and tho colonial bill a voted,
tho treaty shouldering the financial
responsibility while the bill rejects it.
It is understood that the govern
ment will make an effort In tho Sen
ate to amend the bill, so as to re
concile the provisions of the two.
Among the Important modifications of
the original articles of the Mil are
the abolition of forced la'bor and the
prohibition of members of the Belgian
Parliament from exploiting Congo
concessions.
