not say we sympathize with him in his political
troubles and amid the defeats which are rained
upon him from almost every point for he knows we

Death of Hon. Thomas Settle.


Hon. Thomas Settle died at his residence in
Rockingham county on the 9th inst. The Winston
Sentinel, whose language we adopt thus speaks Of
him:
His health had been much impaired for several
months and it had been feared that his end was
approaching. His death will be deplored by the
people of the whole State-whom he has faithfully
and most credtably served in various public capac'-
ties for nahy years. By his more intimate friends
and fellow -citizens, he highly esteemed Tor
those ennobling qualities of head and heart wn'cn
make the true friend the patriotic citizen, the just
and upright man. We have had the honor of
personal acquaintance with Judge Settle for some
time past, and never have we met with man for
whom we cherished a feeling OF stronger affection
and respect never with more emnentiy deserv-
inc thelove and generation of his fellow citizens,
mon whom i, was more universally bestowed.
Judge Settle entered public life in 1885, as q
member of the House of Commons. In 1917 he
| was elected a member of Congress from this Dis
trict which post he filled with much acceptabty
to his constituents. In 1919 he was returned to
Congress- and at the close of the session declined
reelection In 1926 he was chosen by the citizens
of Rockingham their Representative in the House
of Commons of the General Assembly, and was re-
| elected in 1927 and 1928. During the session Of
1928, he acted as Speaker of the House. In 1882,
he elected Judge of the Superior Courts,
which position he filled with much dignity an6 abil-
ity until few years since, when he resigned"
We remembe. to have heard Judge Settle speak
with pride of his last political act, before being
elected Judge, which was casting his vote, as one
of the electors Of North-C Carolina, for Gen. jackson
for the Presidency. He,was a member of the Bap-
fist Church. and lived life of exemplary piety.
