| Info | Associate Justice, Supreme Court (R-NC) 1895-1901. In 1900, the supreme court declared some laws unconstitutional which had been passed by the legislature with its new white supremacist majority.
Chief Justice (R-NC) 1901-1903. Furches was appointed Chief Justice to replace William T. Faircloth, who had resigned. In 1901, the state house impeached Furches for ruling against white supremacist acts. A majority of the state senate voted for removal, but the Democrats could not muster the 2/3 necessary for removal.
