This command he occupied until June,
1864, when he was assigned to duty as
the adiutant of the regiment, in which
rank he continued till the surrender at
Appomattox. AS soldier he saw hard
service and participated in many of the
most bloody engagements OF the war.
The sketch of his regiment, published in
Sundays NEWS AND OBSERVER, is valu
able contribution to the history Of the
part North Carolina bore in the Civil
War.
At Petersburg, on March 31st, he was
badly wounded, being shot in the leg,
the evidence of which he will carry to
his grave. He was forced to walk on
crutches two years. Immediately after
the surrender he was paroled by the
Federal government and returned to
his fathers farm in Franklin county.
With high courage that adversely, suf-
fering and wounds could not conquer,
he set about the labor of building up his
shattered fortunes. The slaves had been
liberated, labor was scarce, and the fine
old homestead, with its weed growing
fields, was silent witness of the changed
condition under which his life should
begin. He resumed his study of the law
before he had fairly discarded his crutch-
es, and in 1867 was admitted to practice
in the county courts. In 1868 he was
licensed to practice in the Superior and
Supreme courts. In 1874 he was elected
to the State Senate and served one term.
In 1887 he was appointed by Governor
Vance Solicitor of what was then the
sixth judicial district, embracing Wake
county, and held the Office till the cleo
ton in 1878, when he declined to let his
name be voted for. In 1878 he was
elected to the House of Representatives
from Franklin county and was made
chairman of the committee on Judiciary.
Two years later he was re elected mem
Der of the House and was appointed by
Gov. Jarvis a member of the Board of
Internal Improvements, which position
he resigned when he was reelected to
the House in 1880 and elected Speaker
of that body of able men. In 1884 he was
appointed by Gov Scales director of the
Penitentiary, which position he filled for
four years, resigning to accept again a
unanimous nomination to the House Of
Representatives After his election to
the House in 1888, he declined to run
for the Speakership and was made chair
man of the Committee on Internal I'm
provements, and also of the House
branch OF the Committee on Railroad
Commission. For many years he has
been trustee of the University, and
also of Wake Forest College, having been
at one time president Of the board Of the
| latter institution.
In February, 1868, Mr.. Cooke was
united in marriage to Miss Bette Person,
and to her devotion, fortitude and pluck,
is attributed in large part the measure
of success that has crowned his efforts.

To the Editor of the News and Observer,
The gentleman who does your head
lines pleads that Mr.. Henry first men
toned my name, but it does not appear
that Mr.. Henry claimed me as his politi-
cal friend. In fact, the effect of his
letter was to state the reverse.
Nor, again, did mention the circum-
stance that there happened to have been
no personal friendship between Mr..
Henry. and me, in order to deliver that
"unkindest cut" to him which your
head liner now attributes to me. ]
added that, as | think was apparent,
merely to point out that your headliner
could have referred to no other than Pc
litical friendship, the very thing Mr..
Henry was denying.
/ am, in no degree whatever, I'M
friendly to Mr.. Henry, personally. On
the contrary, and Notwithstanding the
grave mistake which, in my opinion, he
has made in leaving the democratic
party-I have most kindly feeling for
him, arising from the fact that think
he felt himself forced out of the party
by his inability to get the hearing in
leading Democratic papers which bis
position in the party (as a member of its
State committee, &C. entitled him 10.

A Good Story.

Not long since We heard one Of Andar-
son County's venerable citizens, who was
spending few days in the city, and who
is noted for telling laughable anecdotes
and good stories, relate the following
story:
Fifty or sixty years ago there lived In
the lower section of this County two farm
ers, one OF whom was named Hunt and
the other Clark. The former, in early
life, had been man Of strong will aud
somewhat hasty snd violent temper.
Sometimes he had been seen beating his
oxen over their heads with the handle of
his whip, in way to excite the pity of the
bystauders, and, when expostulated with,
be excused himself by saying that he had
the most fractious team in the communi
ty. By and by an alteration took place in
the temper Of farmer Hunt. He became
mild, forbearing, and, what was most re-
markable, his oxen seemed to improve in
disposition at equal pace with himself
Farmer Hunt joined the church and was
an exemplary man. Els neighbors saw
the change both in himself and team. 1t
was marvel to the whole community. One
of his neighbors asked him for an e4plana..
tion. Farmer Hunt eaid: 81 have found
out secret about my cattle. Formerly
they were unmanageable' The more l
whipped and clubbed them, the worse
they acted. But now when they are con-
trary, go behind my load, sit down and
sing Old Hundred snd, strange as 1t
may appear, no sooner have ended than
the oxen 20 along as quietly as could
wish. I don't know how 1t ia, but they re-
ally seem to like singing"
In the course of q few years the two
farmers were chosen deacons OF the same
church, and they both adorned their pro.
tession. About the time OF their election
a grievous famine prevailed in the coun-
try, and the farmers generally were en-
ployed in laying up their corn to plant
the ensuing season. A poor man, living
in the community, went to Deacon Hunt
and said: II have come to buy bushel OF
corn. Here is the money it is about all
can gather"
The deacon told him he could not spare
bushel for love or money. He was
keeping double the usual quantity ior
seed corn the next year, and had to stint
his own family. The poor man urged MS
suit In vain. at last he said: "Descon, II
you do not let me have the corn, shall
curse you" 'Curse me - replied the dea
con, show dare you do 30 p Because,
said the man, "the Bible says 3d." "Non
sense" exclaimed the deacon, "there is nc

such thing In the Bible" 'Yes. there
is," replied the poor man. "Well," said
the deacon. ''if you can find any such
text, I'll give you bushel of corn" They
went to the house, when the poor man
went to the old family Bible, turned to
Proverbs II, 26, and read ."He that with
holdeth corn, the people shall curse him
but blessings shall be upon the head that
selleth it."
The deacon as fairly caught. "Come
along" said he, land will be as good as
my word" He took him to the corn crib,
measured out full bushel Of corn and
helped the man to put 1t on his shoulder,
and just before his departure, being some.
what of q wag, he said with twinkle In
his eye, II say, neighbor, after you have
carried thts corn home, go to Deacon Clark
and curse him out Of bushel."
