Merited His Influence.
William W. Kitchin, Governor of
of North Carolina.
"I regret to learn of the death
of Mr.. Joseph P. Caldwell. He
was ofgreat ability, wide infor
: matlon, . undaunted courage. He
possessed an intellectual integri- .
ty of the highest type, this being
his most striking characteristic.
By virtue of these qualities and -his
long service as an editor he
richly t merited the powerful in
fluence which he always : well
possessed. The State suffers a
severe loss and deeply sorrows in
his passing away." .
'Always For Truth. :
'
Hon. T. W. Bickett, Attorney
General of North Carolina.
"The ruling passion of Joseph
P. Caldwell was his worship of
the truth. He sought for it as
'hidden treasure,' and whether
he found It in a gutter or in a
temple he held it up and let it
shine. His next most prominent
trait was his unfailing sense of
humor, a humor shot through
with sunshine. He laughed at
men and loved them at the same
time. He quarreled with 'Dea
con Hemphill for twenty years
and at the end they were as
David and Jonathan. These are
the things that gripped him, to
our . people. They.', felt that he;
was their very own; and today
North Carolina kneels and prays
for her loved son." .. . . .
Man of Character and Ability.'
Hon. James R. Young, State In- .
surance Commissioner. ;
- "As a citizen, editor and man
of Character and ability Joe
Caldwell stood among thebest
in our State and left an impress
for good upon our citizenship.
'With rare candor; honesty and
courage he did his work and
came up to the full measure of
his duty. He drew to himself
many friends and admirers,
while those who did not agree
with him in his views, could but
admire him , and the maner in
'which he discharged the respon-
