, D, F. CALDWELL DEAD,
He Passed Away at His Resilience
Last Night,
WAS IN HIS EIGHTY-FIFTH YEAR
A Conspicuous Figure, a Noted Leg
islator and a Qood Financier A
Bilef Sketch of His Life.
Hon. D. F. Caldwell is dead.
The news was not unexpected, for he
has been in feeble health for some
time. Some months ago he was strick
en with paralysis but in a measure
rallied. He did not however, regain
his former vigor and day before yes
terday he suffered another stroke. At
eight o'clock last night he breathed
his last.
He was a remarkable man. The
Cyclopedia of Eminent and Represen
tative Men of the Carolinas of the
Nineteenth Century contains a sketch
of him from which we make the follow
ing extract:
"David Franklin Caldwell, son of
Thomas and Elizabeth Caldwell, was
born one mile west of the city of
Greensboro, N. C, Guilford county,
on the oth of November, 1814. His pa
rents removed to Greensboro when he
was but one year old, and his scholas
tic training was obtained in the schools
of that city. For a time he worked on
his father's farm, and in 1841 left the
farm to enter the mercantile business
in Greensboro, and continued in that
enterprise until 1849. In 1848 he was
ejected to the house of representatives
of the state, and was re-elected for five
successive terms, only retiring in 1861.
In 1860 he began the study of law, and
one year later was admitted to the
bar. He practiced at Greensboro un
til the new code was adopted, when he
abandoned his profession in disgust.
In 1S64 he was elected coun'y attorney
and served until his retirement from
thelaw. He was a delegate to the
constitutional convention of 1865, and
in the same year was nominated for
congress, but was counted out by Gen.
Canby, at Charleston, S. C. In 1872
he was a delegate to the convention
that nominated Greeley and Brown
for the presidency and vice-presidency ,
respectively, of the United States, and
in 1879 was sent to the state senate,
where he remained one term, and in
the same year was appointed a mem
ber of the committee choseu to com
promise the state debt. Mr. Caldwell's
course as a member of the legislature
was dignified and able. In 1848 he
framed and had passed a tax bill, rev
olutionizing the tax system of the
state, and despite the bitterest oppo
sition, finally brought his measure in
to so great favor with the people that
he was practically their unanimous
choice for the legislature until his vol
untary retirement from public life. He
was more than prominent in the organ
ization and building of the North Car
olina railroad, and was a prime mover
in the establishment of the Greensboro
& Cheraw and Cape Fear & Yadkin
Valley railroads."
In 1S89 he organized the Bank of
Guilford and was made its president,
a position which he filled .with ability
and success until just a few weeks ago
when upon filing his resignation, he
was succeeded by Mr. R. W. Brooks.
"Uncle Frank" as almost every
body called him, has for many years
been a member of the Presbyterian
church. The funeral will be conduct
ed from that church tomorrow after
noon at two o'clock by Rev. Dr.
Smith, the pastor, ancfinterment will
be made in the cemetery at Buffalo
church, about three miles north of the
city.

AFRO. AMERICAN COUNCIL.
Bishop Waiters Charges South With
Barbarity to Negroes.
Washington, Dec. 29 The first an
nual meeting of the Afro-American
council opened in this city today.
Bishop Alexander Walters, of New
Jersey, presided. The council graw
out of the meeting of prominent col
ored men at Rochester, September 15,
and was called in the interest of the
amelioration of the condition of the
Afro-American race. Rev. I. L.
Thomas delivered the address of wel
come to which Rev. J. M. Henderson,
of New, York, responded. Bishop
Walters delivered a lengthy address
in which he reviewed the condition of
the negroes from the time of the revo
lution to today. The south, he said,
must treat the negro as it would have
the negro treat the 3outh. The south
could no longer shield its barbarity
to the negro with the excuse of protect
ing its women.
Bishop Walters could not under
stand the motives of those members of
the race who counsel inaction. With
the President silent in his message
upon the riots at Wilmington, the
time had come for the colored man to
act; to act with firmness, calmness and
after due deliberation. Every refer
ence to the need of reforms in the
south brought forth thunderous ap
plause and expressions of approval.

NO LEGISLATION REQUIRED
for Government to Care for Con

OFFICIALS WANT INFORMATION.
White Trying to Get 3d N. C. Kept in
Service Departments Closed For
Funeral of Senatur Morrill.
Special to The Telegram.
Washington, Dec. 30 In line with
the present utterances of President
McKinley on his southern tour, rela
tive to the care of the graves of the
confederate dead by the north, as well
as the south, the officials of the war
department have sent communications
to the Adjutant General of several of
the southern states, requesting infor
mation as to the location of the va
rious Confederate cemeteries. At the
war department it. was impossible to
learn much about the communications
excepting the fact that they had been
sent to the various southern states un
der the direction of the secretary of
war. It is thought that the only ob
ject at present is to get the exact loca
tion of the cemeteries for the use of the
department and in the event that it is
deemed iater advisable to put the pres
ident's suggestion into practical oper
ation, the war department would have
the data at hand to act intelligently in
the matter. Secretary Alger, and
other officials at the war department
regard President McKinley's sugges
tion as one which should be adopted,
and will do all in their power to have
it carried out. It is said at the de
partment by many of tte officials that
no legislation by congress would be
required for the purpose of caring for
the cemeteries in the south the same as
is done in the case of the national
cemeteries in the north and elsewhere
throughout the union. At the office of
the adjutant general of the war de
partment it was stated yesterday that
when the replies Tram the various
states in the south are received at the
war department they will be placed on
the files of the department for future
reference. On next decoration day,
May 30th, it is likely that the country
will witness the suggestion of the Pres
ident of the United States carried into
effect for the first time.
Assistant Adjutant, Cosby, who is
stationed at Summerville, South Car
olina, is in the city on a visit to his
father and mother during the Christ
mas holidays. The father is a pay
director in the United States navy.
Adjutant Cosby was see n the other
day, and he staed that, the desire on
the part of the volunteers to be mus
tered out of the service is becoming
general, and the president's action is
awaited with considerable interest by
the men now located at the various
winter camps in the southern states.
Mr. Cosby will return to his post of
duty shortly after New Year's day.
Governor Russell's appointment of
Day as superintendent of the state pen
itentiary, is criticised by North Car
olina republicans in the city on the
ground that Day is a democrat. Not
withstanding the criticism from the
party friends of the governor, the fact
remains that Mr. Day has not of late
years affiliated with the democratic
party, and at the presidential election
he voted for McKinley for president.
It is said also that at the last election
Day voted for the republican nominee
for congress in his congressional dis
trict. Representative White, the colored
member of the house from the first
North Carolina district saw the pres
ident yesterday and requested him to
continue the 3rd North Carolina (col
ored) regiment now stationed at Ma
con, Georgia, in the service. The
president did noV promise to grant
Mr. White's request, but stated that
the list has not yet been decided upon,
and until he receives it from the war
department he cannot state what regi
ments willjbe mustered out, or what
regiments will be retained. Among
North Carolina people here the im
pression has been that the 3rd regi
ment would be one of the regiments to
be mustered out.
As a mark of respect to the memory
of the late Senator Morrill, of Ver
mont, the executive departments, by
order of the president will be closed
tomorrow, the day of the funeral after
eleven o'clock.
Senator Daniel, who has beoa at
Lynchburg since the adjournment of
congress, accompanied by his wife
and son, has left for an extended trip
to Havana.
Representative White stated the
other day in addition to Mr. Pearson,
that one or two other republican can
didates for congress at the last elec
tion would enter contests against the
democratic congressmen-elect.
