successful operation. He was its lar-gest
stockholder, and president of the
institution until a few weeks ago,
when he was forced to resign on ac-count
of ill health.
Mr. Caldwell was much in public
life, as will be seen from a short biog-raphy
following this article. On nu-merous
occasions he was called to the
leadership of his party, always winning
the respect and confidence of the peo-his
State seceded David Caldwell went
with the majority, and in 18G1 en-listed
in the Confederate army, he be-ing
at that time captain of Senior re-serves,
but owing to the refusal of the
Governor to issue his commission, be
served ss a private. He was refused a
captain's commission because of his
previous opposition to secession, and
because the Governor of the Sta'e had
doubts of his loyalty. Mr. Caldwell
proved his love for his people, and his
name was vindicated by tbem when he
was elected to the legislature by an
overwhelming majority. As a financier,
Mr.JCaldwel! was able and safe. He had
large landed interests, was a stock-holder
in various railroad enterprises
of the State, and was extensively in-terested
in different cotton factories.
In 1839 he organized the Bank of
Guilford. and was made its president,
which office be held until a few weeks
ago, resigning on account of his health.
Thomas Caldwell, the father of cur
subject, was the first clerk of the Su-perior
Court of Guilford county, hav-ing
been first appointed to that otlice
by Judge Duncan Cameron, at Mar-tinsville,
in 1806. For more than fifty
years he discharged the duties of that
important office.

—Mr. J. W. Chapin.of Aurora, Beau- : pie by his sterling honesty and manly
fort county, came up Monday, accom- j independence. Previous to the Civil
panied by his bright little thirteen- \ war he was an uncompromising Whig,
year-eld daughter, who entered school! serving his party as a representative
at Guilford College. Mr. Chapin lived in the legislature for several terms.
After the war he allied himself with
tbe Democratic party, developing into
a trusted leader and one of its strong-est
advocates.
For a time he was editor of the PA-TRIOT,
and our older readers remember
with what ability and success he con-ducted
the paper. He was a ripe
scholar, a vigorous thinker, aod a
strong and original writer.
He was an earnest Christian and a
devout member of the Presbyterian
church. Never bigoted or selfish, he
believed in and practiced practical
Christianity in its broadest sense.
