MOORE HONORED BY CULLOWHEE (Cont'd from page 1) was related to Governor David L. Reared on the farm, that incomparable training place for manliness, integrity, mental force, moral stamina, energy, and resourcefulness, young Moore developed a splendid physique; and though poor and unlearned, dared dream of the forum, the hustings, the honor of public esteem, and the opportunity to bless humanity through some worth-while, lasting service. He worked hard through the crop seasons and attended for a few months each year, until he was nearly grown, the public school, concluding his scholastic training at that remarkable school, the old Sand Hill Academy, where so many notable men of this section received their preparation for life. After serving his apprenticeship at the carpenter's trade, receiving the first year his board and thirty dollars, Mr. Moore worked for two or three years at $1.25 to $1.50 a day. While thus employed, he used his spare time to study law, with Ed. W. Candler as fellow student. Once a week they went to Asheville, six miles away, oftentimes walking, to recite law lessons to the late Judge James L. Henry. After the death of his father, September 17, 1879, young Moore, thinking only of his duty to his widowed mother and four sisters, nobly offered to give up law, stay at home, and work to support her and them; but the devoted mother would not allow this sacrifice. So, about the last of September, he borrowed the necessary funds and set out for Greensboro, accompanied by Ed. Candler, to attend the noted law school of Dick & Dillard. Three months' close application there enabled Mr. Moore to obtain his license from the Supreme Court in the following January. For several months, he laid aside his license and resumed work on the farm to discharge his indebtedness and to help his mother and sisters. Having decided to make Jackson County his home, the young attorney left the scenes of his youth, April 18, 1880, spent a week attending Haywood County Court, and arrived at Webster, April 25th. Here he began the practice of law with twenty dollars and two books—the old North Carolina Form Book and Eaton's Forms, both of which volumes he still has in good state of preserva- Mr. Moore has thrice represented his State at Democratic national conventions: twice as a district delegate, Chicago, 1896, and St. Louis, 1916; once as a delegate at large, Kansas City, 1900. He has five times been nominated to represent Jackson County in the General Assembly and has been elected three times, 1892, 1898, and 1900. In 1896, he and his opponent, Hon. John B. Ensley, tied. At the special election in December, Mr. Ensley won. In the General Assembly of 1901, Mr. Moore was elected Speaker by acclamation, an honor rarely bestowed. He was married, January 10, 1883, to Miss Laura Enloe, daughter of Capt. W. A. Enloe, of Webster, to which union eight children were born COMMUNITY LIFE CLUB RENDERS A PATRIOTIC PROGRAM (Cont'd from page 1) some of the most beautiful poems and prose lines written in honor of the nation's past. If the historic stories of individual heroism and the names of those who gave America her liberty are kept alive in the hearts of young Americans, then, every day will be an Independence Day, and every day will exemplify our patriotism. The entire program of the afternoon was as follows: America, sung by children; Our Country. Marthalou Hunter; March, by children; The American Flag, Miss Elizabeth Grigsby; Salute to Flag, audience; Address, R. L. Madison; Song, Miss Ethel Fielding; Reading, Miss Eleanor Gladstone; America, the Beautiful, sung by audience. After the program, the members of the Club enjoyed a short social gathering in the home of Mrs. H. T. Hunter, where delightful refreshments of tea and sandwiches were served. —five girls and three boys, one girl and two boys dying in infancy. One son, a successful business man, is married and lives in Chattanooga, Tenn. Of the four daughters living, two are married and reside in Asheville; two are single and li' with their father. Mr. Moore's domestic life was fortunate and happy till the death of his wife, July 9, 1921. He moved to Sylva, June 15, 1922, where he had built a new home. Early in his professional life, Mr. Moore was made a Mason at East Laporte Lodge, later becoming identified with Unaka Lodge No. 268, at Webster. He has filled nearly all the stations in the State Grand Lodge, and in January, 1897, was elected Grand Master, which office he held for two years. While Grand Master, he laid the corner-stone of the Vance Monument, in Asheville. He is also a Knight-Templar and Shriner. Mr. Moore has been a successful lawyer, an upright, influential, and highly useful citizen. His public spirit and generosity through his long public life have greatly aided the causes of religion and education and blessed the unfortunate, and the helpless. His hand and purse have ever been open to the needy. What church, what schoolhouse, what stricken family, what suffering individual, in our county, has ever failed of aid if Walter E. Moore knew of the need? Verily he has treasures laid up "where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt." But Mr. Moore's greatest public service has been* to education through his efforts as citizen, legislator, and school official in behalf of Cullowhee Normal. Hence it is fitting that an enduring memorial bear the name of Walter E. Moore. First Student: "Mr. Wilson made a long speech in Chapel this morning." Second Student: "What was he talking about?" First Student: "He didn't say."
