JUDGE GBADY'S STATEMENT To the, People of the Sixth Judici al District of North Carolina: Tou have twice nominated me as Judge of the Superior " Court, and each time I have .been elect ed by the State at large. On De cember 31, 1938, 1 will have serv ed as your Besident Judge for six teen years. During that period of service I have done my best to administer justice between men fairly, impar tially and conscientiously; I have tried, so far as I was able, honestly to merit the confidence that you have reposed in me, and am deeply grateful to you for that confidence. I have now. reached the ace, where under the law, I can retire and become an emergency judge for life. Such retirement will give me an opportunity, not only to continue my services as Judge of the Superior Court, but to devote a part of my time, at least, to oth- er pursuits in which the state and its people may be interested and possibly benefited. I wish to announce that at the end of my present term I shall re tire as resident judge of this dia- . trict. I will not seek re-nomina-tion in the June primary, 1939;'' ,1 but will leave .the field open to other and .younger men who wjah . to seek that honor. :! I retire voluntarily,, with", deep j affection'for the members of the ; bar of this district, who have at i all times showh me every consid eration, and courtesy ad ? with profound gratitude to my many friends who have reposed in me their confidence and esteem.
