son and the hospitable manner in which
they were entertained by our people. The
sessions of the convention were largely
attended by members of the various re
ligious denominations of the town and
Henderson, N. C, May 22, 1SS0.
Editor. Gold Leaf: I heard the
charge of His Honor Judge R. K. Arm-
held to the grand jury of ance Superior
ourt to-dav. I must say that it was a
grand presentation of the law the finest
have ever heard from the Bench of
North Carolina or anywhere else. His
harge was not only lucid so plain that
the most illiterate could understand it
one of the principal signs of true great
ness) but it was powerful.
At times his periods were so beautifully
rounded and so eloquently expressed, es
pecially when shaking about the sacred
ness of home and the pnrity of woman
and the necessity for their protection, as
to impress the jury and the people as i
am sure they have never been impressed
rere before.
