(Continued from 1) st re- let- page you already so worthily wear, -'With affectionate and highe Kara, I am "Sincerely yours, "J. C. B. KHR.IN01IAUS." To which Judge Alley replied follows: "My dear Governor: "I have just received your fine ter of the 25th instant. The entire State deplores the sad event that made vacant the Judgeship of the Twen tieth District. "Until now it had never occured to me that I would ever occupy a place on the Superior Court Bench. Not that I did not covet the honor, and the opportunity of service which the po sition affords, but because my prede cessors, in my days, have appeared to me to have a superior claim, and I have found happiness in se-rving them rather than in the furtherance of my own aspirations. While it is weil known by everyone that so far as any suggestion of mine is concerned the honor comes to me unsought, yet the line friendship evidenced by the large number of lawyers and citizens, who have voluntarily endorsed me, gives me deepest satisfaction. "Therefore, with gratitude too deep for words, I accept your commission falling me to a larger field of service. More than professional or political triumph of my humble career, 1 shall always cherish this manifestation of your confidence and esteem. "I would that I could feel more worthy of the high honor you have so graciously confined, and better quali fied to discharge the responsible du ties which its acceptance places upon me. Conscious that your generosity, rainer man any merit ot my own, Drjngs me this distinction, mv effort .1. - ,i i ... . . . . . nau oe untiring to vindicate your cnoice ana justity your laith. "Believing that there is no virtue so uoa-iiKe as justice, 1 snail ever strive to hear courteously, consider conscientiously, answer wiselv. and decide impartially every question pre sented tor my determination, and m all respects and in every way to up hold and preserve the glorious tradi tions of the North Carolina judiciary. "With high regards and (best wishes for the continued success of your ad ministration, I am "Cordially, your friend, "FELIX ALLEY." Judge Alley, a resident of Waynes ville for about 20 years, is one of the self made men of the times, if that expression holds as it once did, for by his native wit and genius he has forged ahead until he has reach ed one of the ambitions of his life. Born in Whiteside Cove, Jackson county, July 5, 1873, the youngest child of his parents, Colonel John H. Alley and Sarah Whiteside Norton Alley, he grew up among the moun tains that shut in the scenes of his nativity and embibed the freedom and strength of mind and body such sur roundings give. He was educated in the public schools of Jackson county and- the Culfowhee high school, while it was under the supervision of Professor in the electoral college. In 1920, he was again chosen on the national Democratic ticket as elector and voted that year in the electorial college for Cox. By that year, VJ20, his reputation as a campaigner and an orator of more than ordinary ability had be come State-wide, and calls from far and near came to him for appoint ments and speaking dates. Since 1920, he has campaigned in all the counties of the old 10th Congressional district and in the State from Robbinsville to Jacksonville in the tide-water sec tion of North Carolina. During the campaign of 1932, he made 20 politi cal speeches in as many different counties in North Carolina. In 1932 he was a delegate both to the State Democratic convention and the National Democratic convention in Chicago. At the latter place he was among the admirers and advot-tees of the nomination of Franklin I J. Roosevelt. In all the positions that he has held, he has never sought re-election, serv ing but one term in each and retiring without seeking renomination. Among the. minor positions that he has held, he was county attorney in both Jack son and Swain counties, attorney for Haywood county, and during the World War a member of the legal advisory board of Haywood county. During the World War, he campaign ed in many of the counties in Western North Carolina in behalf of war meas ures. As a lawyer, however, 'Mr. Alley takes special pride. In addition to his State license to practice law, he holds licenses to practice in the courts of Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, in the United states Circuit Court of Appeals, and in the United States Supreme court. For 30 years, his legal practice has covered the en tire held of criminal and civil litiga tions common to this section. That he is learned in the laws goes with out question. His speeches before the jury on all occasions bring many to the courthouse for a real feast of oratory. He is a hard hitter before a jury, hut absolutely fair in every thing he says. He harbors no grudge and .'an be as fair to an enemy as to a friend. That is why his friends think that he will make a great judge. It will, therefore, be no hard step for Mr. Alley to advance from the platform before the jury to the judge's desk. True, his whole legal career has been in striking straight from the shoulder before a iurv in behalf of his clients, but his inherent honesty of purpose and his vital belief in the integrity of justice will, without doubt, make him an upright judge. That is what the people of Waynesville think. Genealogically, Judge Allev comes of honorable ancestry. His, great grandfather, John H. Alley, was; the progenitor ot the American branch of the family. He was horn in Liver pool, England, but came to America with his parents, who settled in Pet ersburg, V'a., where he was reared. After becoming 21 years old, he came to North Carolina and settled in Ruth erford county, where he became a farmer and slave owner. There he lived and died. vne oi me eiqer Alley s sons, also named John H. Alley, was born in Rutherford county. For two terms. v resu passed w library for :he Haywood enu-'thouse si-ems assured ay !t of the lli'Avell bill, already by the houM and certain el action by the Senale bill. -Donsoied In Representa tive J. H. Howell, wi.h the support of Seitt:mr W. R. FtancJs, provides tV;t the maintenance "f the library will come from costs of $1 added to each completed civil and criminal case in Haywood county superior court. The measure names the chairman of the county board of commissioners, the clerk of the superior court, and the president of the Haywood county bar associatioin as custodians of the law library. All the books, equipment, and sup plies will remain the property of Hay wood county and the "county is au thorized and empowered to and there. to by gift, donation, purchase. . . such furniture as necessary." The original bill, introduced by .Representative Howell, provided that tunas should also come from added costs in local courts but the commit tee amended it, limiting the costs in superior court of Haywood county.

Madison, whom Mr. Alley claims , he represented his senatorial district now as one of the best friends he has in the State senate, and for a number ever had, and before it became the Western North Carolina Teachers' College, thus getting all of his edu cation in Jackson county. When 25 years old, he was elected clerk of the superior court of Jack son county and held the position for one term, retiring from it in 1902. While clerk he studied law, and in February, 1903, stood the examina tion before the supreme court and ob tained his license to practice in the courts of North Carolina. In 1904, he was elected to represent Jackson county in the lower house of the State legislature, holding that position for one term, and while serving his county during that session he met for the first time J. C. B. Ehringhaus, the present Governor of North Carolina. and a strong friendship between the two sprang up, which has continued uninterrupted. In the general election of 1910, Mr.; Alley was elected solicitor for the 12th judicial district, and in the middle of the term moved to Waynesville, where he has since resided. In 1916, he wa3 elector on the national Democratic ticket and voted for Wood row Wilson of terms he ,was high sheriff of Ruth erford county. He married Susan Hampton, of Rutherford, where she was born and died. Colonel John H. Alley, a son of the last mentioned, was born in Ruther ford county in May, 1813, but died at Whiteside Cove December 2, 1902, He was a member of the commission ap pointed to transfer the iCherokee In dians from North Carolina to the In dian territory. About 1847, he re moved from Rutherford to Jackson county, where he bought large tracts of land which he worked with his negro salves. For a number of years, he was colonel of the State militia, and, during; the War Between the States, he was colonel of the home guard. Ten children were born to him and his wife, .Sarah Whiteside Norton Alley, Judge Felix E. Alley oemg ie tenth. lAt present, Judge Alley is a mem ber of the State Bar association, a member of the Masonic fraternity and a member of the Waynesville Methodist church.

' ' . hands of the governor and when he was receiving the congratulations of his friends in Haywood and from oth er counties, lie was asked tor an ex pression as to his reactions to the a.ppointment he had received. His reply is characteristic of the man he He said: "Whether I possess the qualifications that will enable me to measure up to the requirements of the high office to which I have been appointed, I do not know. "The idea of occupying a place on the bench is so new to me I have hot had time to give it much thought. However, in view of my long experi ence as ji practicing lawyer I have my own views of some of the attain ments a judge should possess. I think the judge is neither the creator nor the preserver of things human or di vine. It is his business to judge, to decide, to compare, and determine re lative to existing things. Ihe tact that he should separate the true from the false does not change the character of his task. The parties furnish proof of what they claim the truth to be and authorities to show what they claim the law to be. I ne judge simply acts according to rules made for him and decides what the law is. If he weighs the evidence, he acts as a scales. When he meets out justice, he serves as a yardstick. He should add nothing either to the weight or the quantity. It he attempts to pass upon the justice of the law, or to modify it to meet his own ideas, he invades the province of the Legislature. If he de cides the law is unjust and should not be enforced out of mercy for the transgressor, the executive depart ment of government is deprived of its 1 unctions. "I think a disregard for these prin ciples would abolish government by law and substitute government bv caprice, Because then there would be as many different kinds of law as there are shades of opinions anion er judges, and, like the stars, they dif feveth one from another in glory.' "I think that no judge can safely deviate from the, law as it is Written to satisfy his own mind of what the law ought to be, and every occupant of the bench should clearly understand this limit of his functions. It is im perative that he be a student. He must sit with the judges of mtr high est courts and see from their opinions the very essence of the point decided. He must occupy the place of the law- writers in their studies and from their viewpoint toehold the real heart of the textbook. "If he is so fortunate as to be able to explore with the telescope of a fully informed mind the currents of jurisprudence, and with the micro scope of a trained and accurate judg ment be able to tell exactly the na ture of the question presented for his decision, he will then be able to ad minister with an even hand equal and exact justice to the pauper in his low- ly .tenement and the rich man in his marble palace. ' And who can study these wise and precise statements about the law with out feeling that we have here what the courts and people need, a wise and upright judge? Judge Alley said at the conclusion of his statement ' that he feels the need of his , friends and that he is entirely open to advice and counsel as to the administration of the great and exacting: office that he is now as suming. Judge Alley will hold his first term of Superior Court in .Asheville begin ning Monday, February 6, and he will preside over courts in Buncombe and Madison counties until .i July 1 when he -will come to the 20th district to : hold courts until January 1, 1934.

Facts Worth Knowing MESSAGE NO. 1 Patrons have frequently- told us that most folks would appreciate knowing more about funeral service, and also suggestions on what to do in time of need. We have long hesitated to do any thing about it, however, for fear of offending the sensitive feeling of those we have been privileged to serve. But it nas always been pur sincere desire to render every possible service, and as we learned more and more of the appreciation for this sort f informa tion in other communities, we con cluded that the people p.f, Waynesville and vicinity are just as much interest ed.". It is a fact that most folks who call on us, know practically nothing about burial goods, or about the many things that must be done when need arises. Our business policy has always been to hold our expenses of doing busi ness down to the very lowest possible figure and thereby pass the saving on to our patrons. And it is, indeed, gratnying tnat circumstances develop ed that made it possible for us to readjust our over head expenses so that we have the much needed facili, ties of our funeral home without add ed cost to doing business. ui course, we try to relieve our patrons of every possible detail of responsibility, in order to lighten their burden of grief. We advise them as sincerely as we would wish to be ad vised under similar circumstances. liut this experience so freauentlv re. peated, has firmly convinced us that every person should find out about these things before necessity arises, wiuie ine mina is iree to compare vaiues careiuuy ana to judge wisely. In our future messages we shall try to give you some of this impor tant lniormawon. However, if you would prefer to get the information first-hand or to ask any questions, we shall be delighted to have you visit our funeral home. .
