Ab*ut Judge CookeWe
take the following article
ront the Whiteville Reporter of <
lurch 16th, which appeared under
lie above heading.
For two Peeks Judge Cooke preided
over our eourtdn one o*f th- ,
tost, iniportart trials ever held in
'olunihiis eountv, and his firmness
igilence, and just and impartial
ulings are commended by every
ne. This is the second time that
qdge Cooke has presided over a
ourt in our county, but it was not
iritil now that jur people got so
tell acquainted with him.
lie is an old-time Southern genleman,
and one of the finest men
iving, and what the Judge don't
now about law is not worth learnig.
Nothing connected with a case
u trial escapes bis eye, and it is a
are thing for an attorney to object
o his rulings. Boring the Haves
rial, every evening he personally
aspected the room where the jury
ras confined, to see that his instruc
ions were stirctly complied with.
Int. aside f Pnm ttia hirvli ata?d
?
rd as a lawyer aDd judicial
fficer, Judge Cooke is a most
harming gentleman, i\nd captiates
everyone he comes in conict
with. He is full of life and
umor, and when court adjourns is
lways surrounded hy a crowd of
dmirers. Judge Cooke decends
fom a distinguished and long-lived
imily. ljis father lived to the age
f 8(5 years, and at his death his men
?1 faculties were as clear and bright
b when a young man. His granduber
was too old to enter the Itevoitihnary
War, although a staunch
riend of those struggling' colonists,
le married ' three times, was the
ither of children affer he had passed
is 80th birthday, and died at the
dvanced age of 101 years.
Judge Cooke's stay in Whiteville
"ill ever be remembered by tile peoile
of Columbus county with deght,
for while here ho surrounded
nd captured all. He is a Southern
eutlemnu in the tullest acceptation
f that term; a just Judge, and a
>yal and uncompromising Demo,
rat, a genial and affable gentleman,
nan without guile.
Judge Cooke will next week hold
ntirt. in Rl?Han nn/i ntir
rediclion is that ho will leave the
eoplo there an delighted with his
resence, and as appreciative of his
dministration of jiisiica as are we
i old Columbus. The bes't wishes
fall our people will attend Judge
looke wherever he goes.

Y lhe Democratic House will un- *

lavion that is very much desired, J
and that the majority of the people *
have declared for by electing the *
Democratic majoiity. What the 1
Senate will do with the hiLJs that
Dem icratic House may pass cannot 1
e he determined at this time. Ttie 1
main tight between the two Houses I
will be over reciprocity and the 1
1 tai iff bids, and a very few votes in (

Reciprocity will probably pass the ^
