Adams For Judge.
The judicial convention of the
8th district mill meet in,Rocking
ham on the 28th of May, apd Un
ion oounty will preseut as a can
didate for nomination, Mr. H, B.
Adame, whose ability ea a lawyer
is unsurpassed, and whose charac
ter is the equal of any, in the dis
trict. In his profession, and his
professional .brethren will bear
witness, Mr. Adams is a scholar
of the first magnitude and the
success he has obtained and the
high esteem in which be is held
are due to his deep knowledge of
the law, to the conservative mai
ner-in m*hich be conducts his oas
es and to the liberal advice he
gives his clients.
For a lawyer to live up to • the
ethical standard of his profession
is indeed a high calling. There
is nope higher. To tell a client
“you are m the wrong, 1*41 not
oonduct your case” is not so easy
as would appear on tbe surface.
It is pot the easiest thing for a
layman to tell a friend when there
is nothing at stake save the pos
sibility of a wounded pride, yet it
is this strict honesty to, his pro
fession that has placed. Mr. Ad
IttDs in the high position he opou-.

To be the impartial judge that he

personal feefitiR and expound the
law in every instance makes-'it
lietessatythat such a candidate
should abstain totally from that
style of electioneering and can
vassing that is the characteristic
of the professional politician.
Judge Shaw several week*ago e*s
pressed the same thought when he
charged a certain grand jury not
to dine with the keeper of the
county home while making their
lusual inspection; for when a man
accept# of another’s hospitality,
or receives favors while in per
formance of his legul duties- or ill
pursuit of office, such a man is
so bound that he owes a debt of
gratitude that must be paid in
cases of emergency. -The judge
should be unfettered. Thu is thfc
feeling Mr. Adams expresses for
the position for which he is a can
didate. It explains his( conduct
throughout the present dampaign,
for his idea of the office is too ex
alted for him to undertake'a sher
iff’s campaign, and nothing less
is worthy of the office.
