DIED SUDDENLY
Prominent . Politician
and
Newspaper Man Dies From
Paralysis.
Raleigh, N. C, Oct. 14. Col. F. B.
Arendell, prominent politician and
once well-known in newspaper, work
which he did with great art, died sud
denly yesterday morning at his home
following, a stroke, of paralysis which
came after a slight illness lasting sev-
era! days.
Mr. Arendell has been fn declining
health several years but not aban

He was
. known to be in weakened condition
but his general health had appeared to
weeks than it had been in as many
years He spent almost the entire
summer in Raleigh working for lis
book company, which was so much
interested in the adoption. He had
been uncommonly successful in the
presentation of his books and the last
two adoptions prior to the August se-
lection of state books testified to his
lvalue to his company.
j Colonel Arendell's newspaper work
that attracted most attention was his
stories n Governor Aycock's great
campaign in 1900 and indeed, it was
Colonel Arendell who first presented
Governor Aycock intelligently to the
state. Governor Aycock would credit
him with better service in presenting
the Amendment and the Aycock
speeches .than the Governor himself
was able to do. The two were devot-
ed throughout their lives.
Colonel Arendeir once seriously
thought of entering the race for con
gress in this district following the
reorganization of the party after its
defeats in 1894 and 1896. He aban
doned that Duroose and continued to
d newsnaoer work until one of the
,b b k cbmDanies attached him and
made him one of the best salaried
men. In his later years he became
interested in farming, bought a big
farm and lived the best years of his
life upon it.
He was genuinely one of the "orig

newspaper .copy about him and was

"This title has an added signifi
