W. H. FIELD |S^WHK9 ISfIBBBBBBfi ii I f Ml t JSTY7 TOTA liT |lAiiT '"’ii'tfi < J VfS TRIBUTE PAID MEMORY LATE JUDGE FITE Resolutions Passed by Bar of Cherokee Cir cuit at Special Meeting Held in Cartersville. At the memorial exercises held at the court house in Cartersville last Monday, the following resolution, set ting forth the life and activity of thb late Judge Augustus W. Fite was unanimously adopted by a rising vote of ail those present: The resolutions are as follows: To the Superior Court of Bartow County; The committee appointed by the bar of Cartersville to prepare and submit a suitable memorial upon the life and character of the lat,e Augustus W Fite beg leave to submit the following: Judge Augustus Warren Fite was born iri the country in Cordon county. Georgia, on June 15, 1852. He was the son of Barah Herman Fite and Hr. Henderson Wessley Fite. His father performed distinguished services as a physician in tjte Confederate army. Judge Fite was a descendant of a long lino of distinguished persons. He spent his boyhood days in the country upon the farm, and mostly around Pine Log, Bartow county, Georgia. His educa tional training was obtained in the public schools of Bartow. Gordon and Whitfield counties, and in the high school at Pine Log, Georgia. Judge Fite, like a great many other ! distinguished lawyers and judges of ! Georgia, and Other states, did not have the advantages afforded by the modern law school, but he read law in the office of Colonel Abda Johnson, in Carters ville, and was admitted to the bar in 1874. Boon after he was admitted to the bar he was elected justice of the peace in Cartersville, which position he filled with credit io himself and Jus tice to those who came before him. In 1882 he was elected to the lower house of the general assembly of Georgia from Bartow county, and was re-qject ed to this place in 1884. In 1888 he was elected solicitor general of the Chero kee circuit by the general assembly, and he was again elected to this posi tion in 1892. At the expiration of his second term as solicitor general, the general assembly elected him to the judgeship of this circuit. He was con tinued in this office by the people of his circuit for four more terms. In 1917 he resumed the practice of law at Cartersville, and continued in the prac tice until December 25. 1919, the date of ills death, with the exception of a few months' service with the bureau of war risk Insui-ance, Washington, H. C, as exemption attorney in its legal de partment. Judge Fite was prominent in his fra ternal affiliations. He was a member of the Junior Order, Odd Fellows, Woodmen of the WcAld, and was a Knight Templar in the Masonic Order. The habitation that sheltered and protected a great soul, an immorttp spirit, has decayed and fallen to pieces. The stately form, the pleasing smile, the affable voice are gone from us for ever, but is Judge Fite dead? No, he will live forever. He cannot die who truly lives, For virtue has immortal breath; 'Tis but the sowing of the grain Which blossoms into life again And finds perfectness in its death. If the seed he perfect, the harvest is sure; If the fountain be sweet, the waters are pure; If the present Is right, the answer is plain: If a man dieth, he liveth again. Judge Fite ever lives in the ideals he sought to attain, in the purity of heart that characterized his daily life, and the tender mercies attendant upon his judicial ministration. Judge Fite was a man in advancg of his contemporaries. He was aggres sive and progressive. He was an ac tive, energetic and unceasing worker. While a member of the general assem bly of Georgia he championed the cause of local option when saloons were on every corner. He was a pio neer prohibitionist, and advocated re form along this line when it was not popular to do so. His long experience on the bench afforded him great oppor tunities to discover defects in the law, and his activities in procuring just leg islation were not confined to the short period of time he served in the gen eral assembly Some of our most im portant and cherished statutes now on our books were fathered by his wisdom and enacted through his initiative. Whenever and wherever he saw a de fect In the law, adjective or remedial, his untiring hand began to seek the appropriate remedy. Thus his wisdom has been reflected in tips legislative halls of Georgia all along since his first entrance into public Jife. During Judge Fite’s ’ eight years as solicitor general he met with many of the ablest lawyers of Georgia In the arena of the criminal forum. His im posing personality, his forceful speech, his convincing logic, and his retentive memory made him an antagonist to be reckoned with. His record as solicitor general is not surpassed by that of any of the many distinguished solicitors general of our state. Asa judge of the superior court of the Cherokee circuit, Judge Fite was punctual, able and fearless. Few judges in Georgia have the distinction of be ing continued on the bench for twenty consecutive years. This one fact alone evidences the esteem in which he was Not an inch of metal, not a touch of varnish or color, not a jingle fitting of one part to another, but has its vital rela tion to the service of the sold and driven car. This fact ac counts for the exacting stand ards of inspection and testing and the limitation of possible variations in construction to thousandths of an inch which prevail in every dpartment of Chevrolet manufacture. THE TRIBUNE-NEWS, CARTERSVILLE, GA, THURSDAY. JANUARY 22. 1920 held by the people of the circuit He faithfully and fearlessly administered the lkw as lie understood it. Once shown or convinced as to what the law was on a given proposition, there were no forces of sufficient strength to de ter or swerve him from the course of his duty. In all instances with him, Justice was tempered with mercy. But for his merciful ministrations, many a now valuable citizen would have been ruined and disgraced Whereas, with the sympathetic touch of a merciful hand, their errors have been overlooked and they have been reclaimed to the realm of good citizenship. Judge Fite was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian church, lo cated near Pine Log, Georgia, and for many years prior to his death he had been an elder in his church. In his religious life he was unostentatious. While many preach religion, he prac ticed it. His life was deeply spiritual, and among the last thoughts he was permitted to have before the dissolu tion of his tabernacle of clay were along spiritual lines. Judge Fite left surviving him his wife, Mrs. Flora Conyers Fite; four sons. Conyers, lieutenant commander in the U. S. navy; Augustus A., of Muskogee, Okla.; Lindsay J., of Car tersville; Joel A„ of New York city, and two daughters, Flora and Sarah, both of Cartersville. As we are gathered here at this time to discharge the sacred duty of paying the last tribute of respect to the mem ory of Judge Fite, we are admonished of the uncertainty of life and how un substantial are all the honors in the tight of this world to bestow. How crowns and scerpters, principalities and powers, all crumble and go to nothing at the touch of death How the scrool of life, no matter how dotted with the brilliancy of achievements, rolls up and withers with the touch of time. There are no distinctions in the graves that lie before us. Soon other faces will fill this court room. Soon our own places will be filled by others pleading the causes of the successors of our own clients, while our causes will be plead ed by the lowly Nazarine before the bar of unbiased justice in the realms of eternal bliss. Let the noble profes sion, of which we are members, in its alluring sentiments of ambition not lead us into temptation, for the honors of earth at that hour when night Com eth are as unsubstantial as the spirits of dreams stalking the chambers oi sleep. But the honors which this oc casion admonishes us to seek are those which do not pale before the splendo and radiance of the throne of the New Jerusalem. Therefore, be it resolved: 1. The sympathy of this bar be ex tended to the members of the bereaved family. 2. That this memorial be spread upon the minutes of this court, and that a copy thereof be furnished the press of this county and to the family of the deceased. 3. That, out of respect to the mem ory of the late Augustus W. Fite, this bar recommend that this court stand adjourned from this hour until its usual hour of meeting on tomorrow.
