DEATH OF MRS. WALKER.
Mourning Throughout the State for
Noble Woman.
Charlotte News, Aug. 9th.)

charlotte News, Aug. 9th.)
Mrs. Nettie Settle Covington Walk
er, wife of Judge Plat D. Walker, died
on the evening of August 9Th. at her
home on South Tryon street.
Scarcely had the News, conveying
the tidings of Mrs. Walkers desperate
illness, reached the homes of Char
lotte, before the distressing tidings OF
her death swept over the town in one
general wave of sorrow, for Mrs. Wal
ker was loved throughout b city Of
her adoption with love born OF high
admiration.
The illness which resulted in her
death, dated from the return to her
beautiful home on South Tryon street,
last May.
When she and Judge Walker and
their niece, Miss Nettie DOckery, went
to Raleigh to live, they leased their
home to Mr.. and Mrs. j. P. Wilson
for five years. The lease expired last
spring and Judge Walker and family
returned to their lovely home.
They little knew that their return
the close Of those five years-Was to
AAiAI Il Oil CDCS1 VI / NAAG@N 49,
bring heart anguish not only to them,
but throughout the length and breadth
of the state, whose delight has been TO
honor the wife in hOnOring the Lus-
band.
In experimenting the Overhauling Of
the house Mrs. Walker tool a severe
cold, from the effects of which she new
er recovered. Other complications
set in and for four or five weeks anx-
iOuS ones have watched by her bedside.
Her condition became alarming We'd
nesday night. Thursday she had two
congestive chills and from that time
grew rapidly worse.
The city learned yesterday morning
of her critical condition, and all day
anxious inquiries were made for her
at the residence and the newSpaper
offices. There was lot a person in
Charlotte who did not love and ad-
was learned that she had passed away
there was a pail over the community.
All today throngs of friends of Mrs.
Walkers and the Judges, have been
passing in and out of the rOuse her
exQuisitely refined taste made SO beau
tiful, to lay their tribute of sympathy
at the feet of the devoted husband and
daughter-niece, Miss Nettie Dockery.
Today was Mrs. Walkers birthday.
She would have been SO today.
Friends are bringing her flowers

Mrs. Walker was a daughter of Col.
John Wall C~OVingtOn and OF n
Settle COvinEton, and a g~rand-daugh-
ter of Judge ThOs. Settle, ST., and his
wife, Henrietta Graves, Of Reidsville,
Rockingham county. She was a niece
of Judge ThOs. Settle, Jr, and of Mrs.
Governor David S.. Reid. Her educa-
ton was begun at Salem and finished
at St. Mary's, Raleigh. After leaving
school Mrs. Walker and her sister-the
only one-Miss Fannie Settle COving-
ton, afterward Mrs. H. G. DOckery,
and the mother of Miss Nettie Dock
cry, were considered two Of the most
beautiful women in the state. Both
were ~uueenly types Of beauty, MISS
Nettie, a blonde 7; Miss Fannie, a bru-
nette. The writer remembers their
first visit to Charlotte in 1875, and the
social sensation heir coming made.
Miss Nettie was married to Judge Platt
D. Walker, son of Thos. Davis Walker
and Mary Vance Dickinson Walker,
of Wilmington, June 5, 1878. They
came Immediately Ito Charlotte and
have resided here ever since. Mrs.
walker ) RIcdI .DSduISt vi Sho cSSSA
soon impressed itself upon, not only
the social world Of Charlotte, but upon
the community in general. A gentle
woman by birth, the whole tone OF
her life was gentle, refined, pure and
sweet. I
Her beautiful face and queenly dig
nifty were but the outward emblemS or
a lovely nature and a snow-white soul.
Her presence was an inspiration TO
goodness, to charity of speech and act,
as 1T was a rebuke to the tongue OF
criticism or SANDER. Goodness dWelt
in her heart and mind, and her every
word and act was that of a high-hOrn
woman and a Christian. Her married
life was ideally happy. Hers and
Judge Walkers home has been n OF
the most hospitable in the city, ano
,oae of the most charming in it's at
mosphere of love and fir elegance
They had no children of their Own
but lavished their love upon thell
niece, Miss Nettie Dockery, the only
daughter of Mrs. Walkers only sister
The latter, When dying, gave this legacy
Of love to Mrs. Walker, and from Miss
Nettie's babyhOod days to the present
the relationship has always been that
of mother and daughter.
Mrs. Walker was a lifelong member
of tn e Episcopal church. She was de-
voted to her creed, but the beauty Of
her character; the intense whiteness OF
her soul; the Wilderness of her charity
of hand and of speech rested on the
sublime faith in One who was Himself
sweet peace and charity. This sweet
nature was childlike in its trust, no
e only in God, but in mankind. She new
,er believed ill of any one; never I'M
puted to an one a wrong motive; never
saw in any one anything but the gooo
the purity, the charity, the love OF ne
own soul. 1t is not to be a
that such a woman should be loved ant
mourned throughout the state tina
gave her birth.
All day long kilograms and bora
tributes have been pouring in to Judge
Walkers from all over the state. Gov
ernor Glenn and every member of the
state judiciary have sent messages OF
coincidence. "

practical Nloraltty for Hunters.


Two worthy exhibits OF genuine
Americanism are Cd not to add to
forest destruction by carelessly Ieav-
ing fire around; and C2) always to
plant new tree-youug tree-for
every one you destroy. And plant
it where it will do the most good, e
says Casper whitney in the Outing
Magazine for October, in setting
forth some practical morality for
campers and hunters.
BE sure to put out your camp
fire before you abandon it In the
morning to take up the train" says
Mr.. Whitney. DO not leave the
task for one of your camp servants,
not even for your guide whose in
terest in keeping the woods free of
devastating fires being matter of
bread and butter. is therefore the
keenest of any of your camp follow
ers, but who. none the less. is apt
to be careless. See to It yourself;
leave no smoidering backlog of the
nights friendly fire.; leave no smok-
ing Goals that have served to broil
$50 deliciously) the breakfast trout
for such relics so often are famed
into the tiny fame which. feeding
upon nearby leaves, or moss or bush
twigs, grows within two days to a
devouring blaze that consumes acres
of forest before its whitening touch
is stayed. If you are close to a
brook use its water plentifully, and
if water is scarce knock the live ends
of the larger sticks until not a spark
is left: and scrape dirt all over the
coals-not a few handfuls of dust
that the wind may scatter a. its first
breath-but dirt that will bury and
smother.
no doubt my average reader
thinks I am writing a lot to deliver
one small message. but let him con-
slider that hundreds of acres of for
est land worth thousands. measured
by dollars. and of inestimable value
reckoned as among the industrial re-
sources of the country, are annually
destroyed from Just such Insignificant
beginnings as the camp fire which
was not put out beyond the power
OF the passing breeze TO resusticate.
Therefore the warning appeal can
not be too much emphasized: nor is
the message made too important
since we as nation are using up
from three TO four times as. much
wood every year as the country is
producing"
Mr.. whitney's remarks are indeed
worthy of observation by all hunt
ers and campers and If followed out
by the many who go into the woods
and fields. 1t will be the means of
saving possibly thousands of dollars
worth OF valuable timber in many in
stances. local hunters who are GO
ing on; for game in the wooded sec
tions of West Virginia. now that the
g9me season, Is opened, should heed
these important admonitlons.
