JUDGE DRAOAW,
Who Presented Portrait, of Late C.
F. Warren to North Carolina
Supreme Court. . '
* Born In tha town of Washington,
in the ooanty of Beaufort, on the
6th day of September, 1852, Charles
F, Warren had but Just attained to
the full measure of Intellectual
strength and power, with a future
filled with great promise aparently
before him, when, on the 11th day
of July. 1904, "the pallid messenger
with the inserted torch beckoned
him to depart.'!
An unusually useful life ended, a
good man gone, a splendid citizen
called to his everlasting home, when
he had llred but little more than
I two-thirds of the three score years
and ten allotted to man. But what
a memory remains! It lives today,
after more than ten years have
passed, moves men with compelling
force and keeps high the standard
of morals In the relations of men.
wherever Its Influence touches. No JS
greater commendation can come to
a member of the bar of his county
than for some layman to say, "He .'J
reminds me of Warren."
