In 1873 ne was appointed to the Supreme Court bench, where he remained for five years. The Supreme Court reports for this period well attest his abilities, his unflinching impartiality and his strict fidelity to a great trust. His opinions are lucidly written and exhibit a great power of analysis. His portrait now hangs in the Supreme Court room at Raleigh. At the expiration of his term of office, Judge Bynum declined to be a candidate for re-election, and retired from public life. He has since been repeatedly solicited to become a candidate for Governor of the State. After having once been nominated by his party for the office of Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, he refused to allow the use of his name. Since retiring from the bench Judge Bynum has continued the active practice of the law. He now lives in Charlotte at the age of eighty-five, enjoying vigorous health and possessing a tall, erect figure. He married Miss Ann Eliza Shipp, who died in 1885. Their union was blessed with two children, the Rev. W. S. Bynum and a daughter, Mary, who died young. Though always averse to any sort of display, Judge Bvnum has shown a generous liberality. Besides his recent gift to the University he has given a chapel to the State Normal College, and another to the Thompson Orphanage, in Charlotte, the latter in memory of his daughter. His intellect, his attainments and his liberality give Judge Bynum a high place among the men of his state. We are glad, therefore, of an opportunity to pay him this tribute of esteem. J. K. Y.
