The people of North Carolina, with
out regard to race or party, will learn
with sincere regret Of the death OF
Judge Thos. Settle. He was a strong
Republican, but honesty of purpose
and nobility of soul always command
respect, and he was universally es-
teemed and admired by all who knew
him. He was a man of distinguished
ability and the State loses a valued
citizen in his sudden and untimely
death. Speaking of him the States
vile LanRmark says:
Thos. Settle was the abIest Repub-
lican in North Carolina and probably
in the South. With his ability he was
likewise a man of high personal char
acter. The Democratic press can say
this of him, now that he is dead, with
out inconsistenCy-it never said other
wise Of him while he lived. He was
born and reared a gentleman and
lived up to the mark His political
alienation from his old friends was I'M
fortunate and was deplored, but he
never lost their respect or personal
confidence.

THE PORT OF WILMINGTON

The whole press of the State ought
to be proud Of the port of Wilmington,
as South Carolinians are of Charleston,
Georgians of Savannah, Virginians of
Norfolk, Marylanders of Baltimore,
Pennsylvanians of Philadelphia, and
New Workers Of New York.
It is a matter Of State pride, in
which every citizen should revel, what
ever other interests, or separate local
attachments. Whatever is North Car
Gilman should interest North Carroll
nians.-W lmingtOn Messenger.
The GOLD LEAF for one is proud OF
Wilmington and has taken occasion
before now to speak of its opportuni-
ties and advantages and urge upon the
people of the State the importance OF
a proper estimation and appreciation
of It's claims. We favor the building
up of our own towns and there is nc
good reason why Wilmington should
not become an important shipping
and trading point for all North Caro-
lima. Perhaps the business men of oul
chief seaport town are themselves
responsible in large measure for the
fact that Wilmington does not now
enjoy much of the trade that Norfolk
and Baltimore and Richmond gel
from this State. Surely the press i:
ever ready to lend its aid in making
known the advantages as a trading
point the Messenger very justly claims
for its city.

We commend the Meas Of Orf0r4
for standing up manfully in defense of
the rights of its town and section. The
promptness with which it corrects the
error, intentional or otherwise, Of one
of its exchanges in publishing a map
of the alright Tobacco Belle" OF
which certain town makes itself the
centre, leaving Oxford out in the clear,
is commendable. As the Meas will
learn 1t may some times get severely
censured by outsiders by its defense Of
the fair name and well being Of its
town, but it should not be deferred in
its fealty and fidelity to the best inter
ests OF Oxford for all that.

RocKLIN May 3lst.-Wednesdav after

at Lincoln, west of here. Just before the
assault DAILY had been doing in a chair.
and was aroused by Silsby entering and
bidding him get up. Thereupon Silsby
fell upon him, and being a powerful man
easily beat DAILY down. He then
proceeded to pummel him, lump
upon and kick him in fearful manner.
He continued to beat and Kick the pros
trate man until the saloon-keeper begged
him to cease. He, however, kept 1t up
until his wife, who stood little way off,
told him to quit, and he obeyed. DAILY was
found to be dead when aid came to pick
him up. A Coroner's inquest was held and
the verdict rendered that DAILY died of par

the assault and killing is understood to be
complaint made by Mrs Silsby to her
husband, who is q locomotive engineer,

house last Sunday night and attempted to
break in, and at the same time used insult

man and had never seen him ex-

weeks before, as stranger in town.
She demanded to know who was at her

the assailant that she had a pistol and
would shoot if ne did not desist, where

will, viii your" or words very nearly like
