Automobile ft Given to Horace
Moore
The friends of Chief Horace
Moore, of Charlotte, Rave him a
handsome 6-cylinder Buick roadster
as a Christmas present Mr.
H. A. Murrill made the presen.
tation speech and Mid among
other things:
"Horace," said Mr. Murrill,
"heretofore when I have faced
you in this temple of justice ?
have been on the mournejp
bench and you have towerpT
above me in all your gokL?0ce
and official dignity whileJrwaited
sentence from the aiurt for
driving too fast or for/passing a
street car which had/stopped to
discharge passengers.
"But, my Iri^aC it is a short
alley that has no automobile
without aiail light burning and
the 'tables are turned. While
ygpriffe not waiting in fear and |
trembling for sentence you are |
here to receive at my hands
from your officers and friends a
token of their esteem and friend
ship which you justly merit for
your actions as a man and an
officer.
j "Twice today you have appeared
before an audience in
thishallof justice, This morning,
and many other mornings,
no doubt, your official duty was i
disagreeable and caused you
more than one heartache.
"This evening, I feel sure, will
be remembered only with
pleasure and your heart may
well Deat with pride when it is !
\ recalled.
"A policeman's life is hard,
disagreeable and dangerous and
and glean
personal friendships which make
life worth living.
"As a child the policeman is
the boog-a-boo that quells the
passionate outbreak of ungoverned
temper. As we grow
older even though inclined to
travel the straight and narrow
path, the policeman is still a
menace. Only when we have
arrived at the age of discretion
and sound judgment do we
recognize the policeman as the
guardian of our homes, our person
and our property.
"In you are combined personal
characteristic and official
ability which have won for you
close personal friendshin and the
confidence and admiration of
the citizens of Charlotte.
"You have surrounded yourself
with competent and loyal
men and the entire police force
is on a higher plane of efficiency
than it has ever been. You
have a force of men that love
you and will fight will* you and
for you.
"For the work you have done,
and the man that you are. Ispm
requested by vour friends and
officers to present you with a
memento which we trust will
be a personal joy and an aid in
your work?a six-cylinder
Buick"
Mr. Moore accepted the gift
in a neat speech in which he expressed
his great appreciation of
the car both for its high intrinsic
value and because it indicated
that he had sincere friends?
than which there is in life, he
said, no more priceless asset.
After this he was escorted downstairs
and given his first lesson
in operating the car.
Chief Moore has been at the
head of the city's police department
for two years and a half

"Man may shout when he can n<

Eaying of the Japanese, which ex

persons.
k The Japanese are quick at rcpar
2 tee; their wit is keen and temnered
e and they can often administer a per
a feet snub in brief, terse form. Ii
B illustration of this there may b<
p cited the following instance:
There was being tried in a cour
a case involving the possession ant
ownership of a piece of property
The litigants were brothers. Th<
holder, who was clearly not the right
B ful owner, had assaulted and ejectei
his brother and was protesting hii
e right to defend his claim.
^ The examining magistrate listener
very patiently to him until he closet
with the words, "Even a cur mat
. bark at his own gate." Then th<
I magistrate said: "Even a cur re
spects his own kin."

Whenever a sheep has a filthy spot
