Ife suddenly Passed away Tuesday f night the 7th. Scareely had the grave of the lamented Saunders ' been filled ere the people of North Carolina are startled with the news, "Governor Fowle is Dead," which flew all over the State like wild fire. The people are enoQked and grieved and ap palled. -He was dear, to the hearts of his people whom had so faithfully served in many capacities, and none was expect ir g to hear of his death. We d not recall an instance when our people have been called up oh to mourh the loss of their two principal officers so near to erether. There have been but two Governors before this to d e in office: Governor Ellis in lfe, and Governor Caldwell in 1&74. ; Governor Fowle had scarcely been sick. He had been a little indisposed, but nothing suppos eel to border on seriousness. Riit on the night of the . 7th a- bbut 11 o'clock he was called h mce by heart-failure. Daniel G.. Fowle, was born in Washington, this State, 18311 He attended Binerham School and at the age of Sixteen enter ed. Princeton College, N.JT., vjhere he graduated 1851. He then studied Law under Judge Pearson for two year, and was admitted to the bar in 1853, and soon after located at Raleigh In. 1856 he married Helen'Brent, daughter of Judge Pearson, who dfedin l862, leaving 2 children, Margaret, now wife of P. Hi Andrew's, and Martha, wife of vid lAlvera, of Raleigh. In 1366 he Married Mary E, only daughter of Dr. F. J. Havwood children. . - At the outbreak of the war h 3 enlisted in the company of Raleigh Rrfles. He afterwards served as Major .01 tne juommis sary Department and Colonel 01 tne 3ist itegiment, and wnne serving in this latter capacity; was captured at Roanoke Is land by Burnsides 1862, but aft--eij a short imprisonment was paroled. , In October, 1862, he was elec ted in Wake to the house of commons, and at the adjourn t of the Legislature was appointed adjutant General of this State, ! which position he rejsigned in 1863. In 1864 he was again elected to ! represent Wake c-n the anti-Holden ticket. Iil; 1865 he was appointed Judge ofl superior court by Gov Hol- den, and was the next .year ele cted to -the same positon by the Legislature. He filled ' this position till 1867. when he re si jned; rather than obey the or der of General Sickles then Mili tsry (Governor. . .. .' He served the people in many ways and was prominent in the Democratic councils till his diath. In 1880 he was a can didate for the nomination for Governor, but was defeated by f Jarvis.-That year he canvassed the state from mountain to sea shore in behalf of Jarvis, his successful oppQhent. In June 1888' he wa nominated for Governor and; elected in No vember following, in which capacity he served till death. jFowle had a big, kind heart. TTo-t nro'm.inpnt men hn., -had position for all with whom he came in contact. He served with credit, hon esty and ability in all the posi - tions to -which he was called during : his eventful life. He was a strict member of the Pres- bytenah church, and lived in accordance with the require ments of his religious profess ions.' j Another grand man has been1 called from us. Another sentinel who has nobly watch ed the interests of his people is off duty forever; another bouy- bell on the ocean of time is hushed. An Object Lesson. , People ougnt to believe any thing when it comes right home to them. j One thing is perfectly clear. bugar nas decreased in price about 3 cents per pound since the 1st day of April. Granu lated Sugar which before that time was y and 10 cents per pounds is now 6 and 7 cents per pound. j ; On April 1st the McKinley bill went into effect as to Sugar. This bill repeals the tariff duty of near "S cents per pound on sugar. . this accounts for tne tan in the price of sugar. That is a repeal of the tariff duty of near 3 cents per pound on sujgar de creases tne price 01 sugar near 3 cents per pound. Do you understand? ' Now to revert a moment. Ever since you can remember. tne Kepubiicans nave told you and! preacned to you tnat a tariff is not a tax and burden on our people, that the tariff does not increase the price of anything but rather decreases the piice. On the other hand the Demo crats have as earnestly told you that the tariff is a tax and bur den,1 that the tariff does incre ase the price of the manufac tured articles on which it is placed, . and that the price of such articles would decrease if the tariff or them were repeal ed. j Which has told you the truth? . . The repeal of the tariff on sugar has reducced its price. This is what the Democrats have always told you. Republi cans denied it. . Republicans are now claiming credit for reducing the price of sugar, which is proper. . But every time they do so they give a libel to their utterances and speeches on the tariff I for 'the ast 30 years. It must also be remembered that in reducing the price of sugar they have increased tho price of all hardware and other r things as equally necessary to our people. Capt. Ben Terrell, of Texas, will make an address at ' the Court House in Wilkesboro next Friday, the 17th, on the subject of the Farmers Alliance. He is said to be a very able and eloquent speak, r. We may safely say that all who , attend will j be treated to a good speech. A short time ago, at the Coke mines in Penusylvania, severol strikers were shot and killed. Among them was one or two' Italians, subjects, of the Italian Government. It is. a very not able' fact that -Mr. Secretary Blaine has not yet sent a dis patch to the Governor of Perm, deploring the Olassecre," as he did to the Governor of Loui- i o' or damages. It seems thati Blaine's regrets for "theMasse cre" must precede the demands ' of Italy, and Blaine dont send I his messages of regret when j the Vmassecre" takes place in that nortion of the crlobe which he thinks is the ''United States of America." . P. T. Barnum, the great Showman, died at Bridgeport Conn, on the 5th inst. OsbornYllle Notes. 1 ' Dr. L. P. Somers, having attended his second course of lectures at the Baltimore Medical College, has return ed and located at Osbornville for the practice of medicine and surgery.
