This brief announcement, though expected and tong anticipated, brings personal sorrow to the hearts of many thousands of North Carolinians. As editor of the Charlotte Observer, Mr. Caldwell mads a name for himself second to no other North Carolinian of his day and in the every-day touch with his readers he woa an abiding place in the affections of thousands who did not know him per. \ sonallv. These, with the Dersona! friends of the, great editor, are sorrowful-today. We feel that the mail whs is gone from us appreciates this sorrow as manifesting their lore, as he appreciated every message of friendship that came to him during his long illness. yr But his life's work was finished and he wanted to go. For days and months he knew that the end was not far away, and he awaited it hopefully but patient- ly. He has broken the bonds that held him heie and entered the life of the other side, even as he wished. There is sorrow at parting, but while sorrow- " S ing for the friend that we shall miss, there is comfort in knowing that his sorrow and sufferings are over.?Raleigh Times of Wednesday. ~~ " ' v ?Deputy Sheriff.
