Upon receipt of this dispatch at

Steich ot lis Life.
Col. Thos. C. Fuller was born in
Fayetteville, N. C. While yet an
infant his father died and his mo
ther removed to Franklin county.
There at his old home he spent his
boyhood days and received his first
primary and academic training in
the schools of Mr. John B. Bobbitt,
of Louisburg, and Dr. T. M. Jones,
who then taught at Midway.
Completing his preparation for
college under Dr. Simeon Colt on, he
entered the University of N. C, in
1849, remaining there two years.
and returning to Fayetteville in
1851, where he entered the store of
his uncle, Elijah Fuller, as clerk.
Upon the death of his uncle in 1854
he became director of a wagon mak
ing establishment, but after a year
determined to studv law.
In 1855 he entered the law school
of Hon. Richmond Pearson, at
Richmond Hill, Yadkin county, and
in 1856 received his license to prac
tice law in the Superior Courts of
the State.
Entering upon the practice ofhis
profession at Fayetteville, he re
mained a busy lawyer until the
breaking out of the war called him
into the service of his State.
He entered the army as a private
in the LaFayette Light Infantry,
on the 20th of April, 1861, and
was promoted to the rank of 1st
Lieutenant of Starr's battery.
But it was before these troublous
days, in the fall of '56, that he was
happily wedded to Miss Caroline D.
Whitehead, of Fayetteville, their
union being blessed with eleven
children, six of whom three
sons and three daughters, sur
vive. His eldest son is Mr. W.
W. Fuller, a rising young attorney
of Durham.
At the close of the unfortunate
struggle Col. Fuller returned to
Fayetteville and formed a partner-
The above news will be most
joyfully received by Col. Fuller's
friends throughout the State and
the honor conferred upon him will
be appreciated by the State Officers,
Supreme Court Judges and many
prominent legal lights who have
left no stone unturned to gain the
honor for North Carolina and for
their dignified, scholarly and able
friend, Col. Thos. C. Fuller.
It was our gallant Ransom who
presented North Carolina's claims
and won for her, by his wonderful
influence, an office seemingly be
yond the reach of a Southerner and
a Democrat. All praise to him,
and many congratulations to the
Administration for this fortunate
appointment.
To be Associate Justice of the
U. S. Land Court is an office of no
little dignity and the man who has
been chosen, after a hard fight by
other States, to fulfill the duti s of
this responsible position is ably
qualified by dilligent and untiring
service at the bar and by close ap
plication to the study of his profession.

Fkedekicksbuug, Va., June 10.
The statue to the Confederate
dead was unveiled here to-day with
imposing and appropriate exercises
in the presence of a large concourse
of spectators. Early in the morn

men, popular with all classes and
esteemed by people of whatever
state or persuasion. While a
staunch Democrat, he has for the
past years studied politics'in a gen
eral rather than special sense, and
has always held the esteem of both
parties.
The appointment could not have
been bettered and, in making it,
President Harrison has not given
office to an office-seeker, but to a dis
tinguished lawyer who has been a
busy student of his profession and
not apolitical enthusiast. He has
held honors, having Cbeen once
elected to Congress and refused his
seat in 1867, but since that time
running for office has been foreign
to him.
We are sure the entire country
will be highly pleased with the Pres
ident's selection and we are doubly
sure that our distinguished friend
will reflect honor upon the bench.

or of the occasion, the city
was elaborately and handsomely
decorated and the day was one of
the most memorable in the citv's
history. The hospitable capacity
of the town was fully taxed, but
everything passed otf quietly and
nothing to mar the pleasures of the
occasion occurred. Representatives
from Pickett I Camp, Norfolk, Lee
Camp, Richmond, Ewell Camp,
Prince William and delegations
from Alexandria, Roanoke and
Washington, were also present.
The decorations of the houses con
sisted of National, State and Con
federate flags, with bunting in pro

formed on Princess Anne street,
the right resting on Cominerce itreet,
and after an hour's parade, pro
ceeded to the Confederate Cemetery,
where the statue was unveiled and
the graves of the Confederate dead
decorated.
The oration was delivered by
General Bradley T. Johnston, and
was an able address. He paid a
glowing tribute to both North and
South, and urged that all animosi
ties and bad feelings engendered by
that terrible sanguinary strife cease.
In the South, he said, it was done
away with, and though they fought
for what they believed right there
could not be found, if the Union was
in danger, any more loyal defenders
than those who wore the gray. Gen
eral Corse who commanded the 30th
Virginia regiment which went from
this city and vicinity, was also pres

At the conclusion of General
Johnson's address, the veil cover
