Tlie Superior Court Suspends Its Reg ular ltusiness and Adopts Resolu tions Commemorative of tlie Life of tlie Deceased. At the opening of the Superior Court last Wednesday Mr. R. W. Winston an nounced to the Court that since the last term of the Court, Col. T. L. Hargrove, a member of the bar of this court, had died ; whereupon the regular business of the court was suspended, and Maj. T. B. Yen able was called to the chair and N. Y. Gulley was made secretary of the meet ing. Messrs. R. W. Winston, M. V. Lanier and N. B. Cannady were appointed a com mittee to draft resolution commemorative of the life, services and death of Col. Hargrove, and report to a meeting of the court to be held Thursday. The meeting then adjourned until 12 o'clock the next day. The committee at 12 :30 o'clock Thurs day offered the following report, which was unanimously adopted and presented to the court by Maj. T. B. Yenable: Mr. Chairman: The committee ap pointed at a meeting of the bar on the 5th of February, to prepare resolutions commemorative of the life and sei vices of the late Tazwell L. Hargrove, respect fully report: Tazwell Lee Hargrove was born near Townesville in 1830. His father was Israel W. Hargrove. Tazwell L. Hargrove graduated at Randolph-Macon College at the age of 18, with distinction; soon after graduating he began the study of law under the late Chief Justice Pearson. He married Miss Mary Lamb, daughter of Samuel D. Lamb, in 1868. His professional life was spent at the bars of Granville and adjoining counties. In the year 1868 he was elected Attorney-General of the State, and held this office during a period of four years. Pre vious to this time he had often served his people in the Legislature. Col. Hargrove occupied a position at the bar both enviable and unique. The strength of his mind lay not in the power of his logical reasoning, but in his quick, bold and incisive mental thrusts. His in dividuality and true manhood never stood out in such bold relief as when he cham pioned the cause of the poor and needy against the rich and overbearing. He despised the sycophant and flatterer, and had none of the tricks of the stage actor and no adventitious and false helps to greatness. To the younger members of the pro fession he was kind and pleasant and was ever ready to lend to such a helping hand. His speeches were not studied or pre pared, and never smelt of the closet, and yet amidst the flashes of his incandescent eloquence could often be found the choicest bits of classic English quota tions. He loved a joke and was fond of a laugh. He was a good lover and a strong hater. As a leader he was often bold to rashness, but his followers lost sight of these deficits in admiration for the man. He enjoyed a large practice for many years, and especially was this true of criminal cases He amassed a large landed estate, perhaps the largest in Granville county, and he loved his land as a miser loves his gold not for the revenue it yielded, because this was small but because it was immovable, perma nent, substantial, and could not be swept away by the exigencies of events. When the men of the South in I860 looked about for leaders, many eyes in Granville county were turned to young Hargrove and he did not disappoint their hopes. At the bridge of South Anna, in 1863, he and a handful of brave spirits held back a whole regiment of the enemy during a whole day, and the gallant young Colonel was captured not until he was felled senseless, in a hand to hand con flict, by a blow from the butt of a northern musket. At J ohnson's Island, a prisoner, he refused to take the enemies' medicine or wear their clothes, and was with Capt. R.V. Minor, the last man to take the oath of allegiance, and leave the prison clad in apparel almost eaten up with the ravages of time. 'His family relations were of the hap piest character, and to his domestics he was kind and generous. Such a life as this is worthy of our closest study and in many things our emulation. No questionable penny ever touched the palms of T. L. Hargrove's hand's. No charge of doubledealings was ever laid at his door by his bitterest 11, 1890. enemy; his name was never coupled with any fraud, actual or constructive; he knew no hauty words ; he fesred no man ; but he played his part in life's conflict with a dauntless heart, and his interpid spirit, on the 16th Dec, 1889 passed to his Maker, whose power and allegiance he ever bowed to and recognized. The following resolutions are recom mended :' 1. That a copy of these resolutions be sent by the Clerk of the Superior Court to the widow of deceased and to the press with request to print. 2. That a copy of these resolutions and report be presented to the Superior court with the request Hint that they be spread on the records. R. W. Wjneton, M. V. Laniek, Com. N. B. Caisnady, ) Col. T. C. Fuller, of Raleigh, spoke in eloquent terms of Col. Hargrove, and eulogized his bravery', dauntless courage and prominent traits of character. He said in conclusion. "I ; .in proud of the opportunity to lay thh sni ;!i wreath upon the tomp of my dead brother."' Col. Edwards said that lie had known him intimately for 35 years and that dur ing all these years Col. Hargrove w7as pre-eminently "truthful, honest and brave;" that he had his f aults, and his were the errors of a strong and bravo man. Col. Amis said that the committee had presented a just and accurate estimate of Col. Hargrove's character and that he heartly endorsed what they report. R. W. Winston, Esq., said that as older members of the bar had paid tributes to the memory of Col. Hargrove, it was with great pleasure that he, a young man, could raise his voice in cc-n.menda.tion of this brave, strong-min led man, who never gave forth an uncertain sound, lie was the acknowledged leader of his party in this section and stood forth the great solitary oak in the forest of his people. That he was ever ready to espouse the cause of the weak and oppressed. His bearing toward young attornej's was characteiized with courtesy and kindness and in him they could find an honest, v illing adviser. His Honor Judge R.F. Armfield in structed the Clerk to spread these reso lutions on the records of the couit. The meeting then adjourned. T. B Vjsnable Ch'm. B. S. Royster, Sec'y. Worthily Restored Honor. Mr. Warren G. Elliott has been ap pointed president of the Wilmington & Weldon Railroad. In speaking of him j the Norfolk Landmark says : '"From the young and talented law student in the old office of Goode & Hinton of this city Mr. Elliott has steadily ascended the in cline of professional success as safe coun sel and a sensible man of business. His practice fell in the line of railroad organi zation and conduct; he naturally became the adviser of great enterprises in this locality, and with the expanding business of his professional life, came a large acquaintance, and a fuller appreciation of the abilities which belong to him and which always command attention where opportunity is offered." Mr. Elliott i3 a native of North Caro lina, aud is the son of Mrs. S. A. Elliott, of Oxfold;, who is well known all over North Cijrbllna for her kindness of heart, devotion? t?o the cause of charity, and is ever rer.jiy and willing to aid in uny cause th;t tends to elevate and christian ize our jT.eople.
