Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Century of Law in North Carolina
One who loves his State as a true son should love her will try to make true answer. We are a people, one in race, one in language, one in religion, and one in ideals; a people without itching ears. We have no great cities; our per capita wealth is evenly distributed; eighty per cent of Our population are tillers of the soil; more than fifty per cent of the white adults are landowners; less than one-half of one per cent are foreign born - great auxiliaries, no doubt, to a stable and conserva tive government - but greater, far greater, than these are our just and equal laws, administered without fear, favor or affection, reward, or the hope of reward. If our sister States of the South. Have had such states men as Jefferson, Calhoun, and Clay, they have had no such jurist as Ruffin. Morley, I think, rightly contends that the great magistrate has as least as good a title to the front place in the Temple of Fame as the highest political servants or leaders of the State.
