He kept everiastingiy at it. He was often startlingiy radical in Ms views for a judge, but he at least had the courage of his convictions and never hesitated to express his views. He was a lieutenant coioneii in the Confederate armies at the age of t7, the youngest man to at tain that high rank in either the Northern or the Southern armies, and he was reaious in preserving the his tory of North Carolina's paht in the struggle between the North and the South.

In editprial review of his life the Wilmington Star says: "During the last 25 years, though a very busy man on the state and supreme benches, Judge Clark labor ed incessantly as a student and au thor, having produced legal and his toric work which have given him a national reputation. During his va cations he did his studying and writ ing at his farm in Halifax county. He annotated the 'Code of Civil Pro cedure', which reached its third edi tion and made him known as a jurist in every state of the union. Among his other literary and legal work, he compiled and edited 'JNprth Carolina {Rate Rtcnrdg' (16 ycpumds); imMsb* ed between 1WM and 1*97. was the author of five volumes of Histories of North Carolina Regiments in the Civil War', and his immense labors t MRtRhKl reprints <% ad!

George Stephens at Use union tabernacle Sunday morn ing in commenting upon the fine ap pearance of children from the Metho dist orphanage at Raleigh. He said he does not like the word orphanage, but prefers to call such an institution a "home", and those children, he said, had the appearance of coming from a rcai home. In this connec tion he urged liberal support of such institutions and said that it did his heart good on the first Sunday in this month, "orphan's Sunday", to learn what a magnificent contribu tion was made for the orphanage of that church by the Sunday school of the First Baptist church. Maybe he does not know that that Sunday school has for years held the world's record for contributions for the sup port of orphans, and that, In fact, this is an "orphanage town," all the Ideal churches contributing with re markable liberality toward support of such institutions. His remarks about orphanages found responsive echo In the hearts of most of his hearers. Parkton Letter Tar Het!
