Governor Carr gave the public
quite a surprise last week by ap
pointing Charles M. Cooke, of Louis
burg, Secretary of State to succeed
the late Octavius Coke. Mr. Cooke
is one of the most prominent Bap
tists in North Carolina. He has
served in tlie Legislature one session
as Speaker of the House, and is rec
onized as a bright Democratic speak
er and writer. He was defeated for
Congress last year.
The largest regimental loss on
either side during the latecivilwar
was sustained by the Tweniy-sixth
North Carolina Pettigrew Brigade,
Heath's Division. , They had a full
quota of 800 men on July 1, 1863,
but in the single battle of Gettys
burg lost 588 men, 86 lulled and 502
wounded, not including the "miss
ing,w of which there were 120. Ac
cording to KJol. W.J?. r ox, in one
company, 86 strong," every man was
hit, and the orderly who made the
ist out did so while suffering from a
wound in each leg.
Governor Carr gives some inter

plows. At the Halifax farm, 146
convicts, 38 plows, 1100 acres in

The editor ot the Raleigh Cauca

thing of that kind could be ar

Bob Dockery Kills an Irishman by
the Name of Brice.
On", last Tuesday afternoon jvtbnt
3 p clock at : an illicit whiskey Op,
some" two miles from" Muiff on
the rll angi ngdog 'road,.' " kepj.by J a
white woman named Sis .'lioberts,
there was a horrible murder com
mitted. ' -
The victim was an ' l rishman Jy
the name of M. Uf p, faiuiliarly
known as Pat, wbohad Wen ped
dling spectacles through the coun
try and boarding at the Widow Hub
bard's in our town. He was a gen
teel . fellow and had all the genial
qualities common to the sons of
Erin, and when he had a jager of
whiskey it tingled joyfully through
out his entire being.
So on this occasion he offered
some spectacles for sale and said
he would give a pair . to anybody
that was a good. Democrat, and
threw off good humoredly on the
Republicans. ;
The woman who kept the house
balled him to her and advised him to
be quiet. He took her hand and
said he would do so, and just at this
time Bob Dockerv, one of the three
Dockery boys and son' of Eli Dock
ery, who were present, caught up a
chair and struck him on the head
from behind, crushing his skull, some
ftwo and a-half inches above . the
right ear. Brice fell and after a few
minutes scrambled to his feet He
did not . know who struck him or
why they did it, but seemed to rea-
was badly hurt. Later
he knelt .down and . prayedwapd
rspoke of hi mother and sister. He
died Wednesday morning about 7
o'clock.
There were, present at the time of
the killing Sis Roberts,'Elmira Ruid,
Tom, Joe and Bob 'Dockery and Sid
McLelland, colored. Others came
up soon after and saw what was done
and heard declarations of who did
the killing. .
The remains of Brice were in
terred m the Methodist cemetery
Thursday afternoon.
An effort was made to apprise his
relatives of his death, but they could
not be located, but we understand
that he has relatives in Cincinnati,
Ohio--- " ;
I he material point at the coron
er 8 inquest was testified to by all
the witnesses that we heard. ; '
The coroner's jury, after beingln
sessin half a day, rendered a ver
dict that the' deceased, known as
M. Brice came Jto -his death from at
blow on thehead; inflicted with a
chair in the hands of Bob Dockery."
The chair with which Dockery
struck and killed Brice was broken
all' to pieces, showing that the lick
was a powerful 'one. . "
The witnesses before the coroner's
jury all testified that Dockery and
Brice had no hard words. In fact,
some - claim that they had not even
spoken to each other. v V
, I ast Friday Coroner-; Ji
rong and Lieputy Mieritt iiugo
Sneed made diligent search' for Bob
Dockery, but he could not bVum).
He has not been seen since 7ed
nesday morning, and it is thought
that he has left the StateV;
The man who- pines for othetl
people's lives is not only silly but
stupid. The world you covet was
not made by discontented people,"
who were always looking about for
something better to do. You may
want to travel, to see great works of
art and beautiful cities. Do you
ever realize , that these things were
created 1 by people who stayed at
home aud did their proper task and
did. it t gladly and joyfully ? y You
have the same world to live in that
other men have had, and what . you
do of yourself counts, and .every hit
of assistance which, you take from
another weakens you so much and
makes you small in the eyes of men.
