To the Editor Charlotte observer: Your readers may be Interested In a short sketch of the most quaint and most learned man I ever knew Marcus Volney Lanier. He got his name from Marcus Volney, author o "Ruins of Empire." His father was of course a free thinker, as the son's name Indicates. Mr. Lanier was a small, thick-set man with a small and bald head. He dressed In the old style, with a big flap in front, and no buttons. He chewed tobacco and read Hebrew, ne planted corn and quoted Shep herd's "Touchstone." He had not bought a law book since liusbee's "Equity." He called a hotel a tav ern, and said "piano forte," pro - - - - - - - 1 1 -a -w . nouncing eacn Byname. He was a Calvlnlst all over, and had a rigid rule of right, like Dr. Charles Phil lips. I asked him one day why the Lord took pleasure in the killing of men. women and children by the tens of thousands, as In the Old Testa ment. He said that Uod could kill in battle as well as in a tornado His mind was analytic and micro scopic. He cut slow, but very close He did not take anything for grant ed. He would not accept as accurate the printed laws of North Carolina. Often he would post to Kalelarh and go through the Secretary of State's omce for the originals, in this wav he discovered that the Oxford bonds were not Issued as the constitution required and from this discovery the Stanly, Wilkes and Henderson coun ty bond cases arose. Some years ago some able lawyers submitted a case agreed to Judge Shepherd. The question Involved the construction of a section of the printed codv of tirfdv fMirpd.

It is conceded by nearly every one that we carry the best line of shoes, and this season we are putting forth extra efforts and are prepared to show something new in foot wear in the latest styles and cuts. Shoes for the youne and old and all at lowest piices to insure a good wearing shoe. h tS CLOTHING. Every man and boy wants a nice spring suit of clothes that fits well, looks well, wears well and can be sold at a reas onable price. We have them. The ordinary clothing has nothing in its favor except its price and when the usual poor fit and wearing qualities are taken into consideration, it really isn't worth what it costs, either to the dealer or to the wearer. This is so be cause it loses its shape and fit after a short time, becomes shabby and makes the wearer dissatisfied with his purchase. Business isn't built through making dissatisfied customers. It is built through making sat isfied ones. That is just what our brands of clothing does.

The old lawver took the papers, carried them home, threw aside the printed copy of the charter, waded through all the acts of thu Legislature, and next day reoorted to the delighted judge and the amazed lawyers that the question did not arise, since the charter was printed wrong. I always thought he read thp Scriptures In Hebrew because he was not willing to risk the translation. I venture thl statement Mr. Lanier never made a mistake in his reason ing. He might arrive at a different conclusion from the accented onp. but his reasoning was correct. Imag ine Blind Tom striking a false note on tne piano. JSuch a man was, of course, uogmatic, out ne was mod est and retiring and loved his home. What a great chancellor he would nave made in the days of Eld on! Ex cepiing Kumn, fearson and George N. Folk, no man la this State was nis equal as a black letter lawver, My father was In the class when he stood lor bis license. Rnffin akpri young Lanier some question touch lng remainders. His answer did not suit the chief justice. Young Lanier arawiea out, "Have your honors got Shepherd's 'Touchstone,'" and pull ing it uown snowed tbat he was rignt. Tms made him the hero of tne class. Mr. Lanier was full of dry humor. On one occasion in the Supreme Court, Pearson, getting restless at Lanier's prolixity, said: "Mr. Lanier, the court is presumed to know some law." "Yes, your honors, I acted on that presumption the last time I was down here, and lost my cape." Mr. Lanier, like most of the old law yers, was fond of repeating a funny saying or joke over and over again. Judge Shlpp did. this. It would not be a long story just a suggestion. A worthy negro blacksmith In Ox ford was arrested for being drunk, and said to Mr. Lanier, whom he em ployed, "Charge me with force and arms." "No force and arms about about It. no pistol and no stick." Mr. Lanier always spoke of him af terward as "force and arms." I once defend -d a negro charged with burning a house; the evidence was very scant, bnt when the negro was tried before 'Squire William Davis Allen, he was disposed to curse and swell around. Mr. Cannady, who prosecuted in the SunerlorConrt. liri great stress upon the fact that, tho negro had cursed befor th lllotlro of the peace. I sought to make it appear that this did not hPar nr. the question of burning. Mr. Lanier at once threw off this bit of doggerel: "Said Samuel cussed and also swore, Ana eke he riDDed and pkf h So you must, therefore. A verdict find as good true men. Said Samuel did the house set fire In both malice and in Ire." ' Mr. Lanier was not a Rneakpr rr nn orator; he was too natural and too simple to make a speaker. He never ueia or desired a nolltlcal offi- ho couldn't understand how holding of fice added to happiness or honor. I never knew him to be flattered at any compliment but once, and that was when the University made him LL. D. There npvpr wna in -m. judgment, a greater equity drafts- uiuu m xne wtate, and as a pleader his language, as well as his thoughts, would have done crpdlt tn t.hf amnt. est minds.

He laid great y'c Jsjmvisa Traitor?" and f n?at al1 yun men should read it. lnose of us who knew Mr. La nier never expect to look upon his like again. Take him all In all he was the greatest lawyer that I ever knew and I felt honored beyond expression because of his friendship. . K. W. WINSTON. Durham, May 6.

At L,oulsburg the other dav, when Judge Fred Moore had finished the term of Franklin county court, the bar adopted resolutions very com plimentary to his honor and they were spread on the minutes of the court. The bar doubtless meant well and Judge Moore may deserve all the good things said for him in the resolutions, but we think this Idea of bars adopting resolutions tnanking judges who have done only their duty is hardly the thing to do, and whenever it is done we uncon sciously begin to look on the judge so complimente as an object of sus picion. The next judge who holds court at J,ou1sburg, If he is not com plimented In like manner, will hfive reason to think that he did not meet tne expectations of the bar; and if every judge who comes along Is com plimented the thing will dwindle into afaree which it already is at the beginning. There may "be unusual circumstances under which such ac tion by the bar would be proper, but ordinarily one is tempted to in quire in such cases what the judge nas been doing that a whitewashing Is considered necessary.
