of the most tragic and wholly unex

Death came at a nursing home, ap
parently from a heart attack follow
Inf an operation a few days ago for
tonailitis. Few people in Dublin even
knew that the ardent worker for the
Free State cause had been 111. Imme
diately signs of mourning were dis
played. flags were at half mast on
buildings and ships In the harbor.
The first question on all sides was
what effect the death of the leader
would hare on the solution of tha
problems before the provisional gor-

NEGRO SERVES ONE
MASTER 89 YEARS
Greenville, S. C.—Foster Pete,
a negro 89 years old, of Cedartown.
Ga., at present visiting relatives In
Greenville, gives a striking lllus-
tradttlon of life-long service. ’ Pete
who is exactly the age of his former
master in slavery times, Julius A.
Pete, of Cedartown, has remained
at the same home where he was
born in slavery throughout his life,
and says he expects to stay there
for years yet. 4
The only separation in 89 years
between master and slave, later
employer and servant, occurred In
the war between the states. Mr.
Pete was a soldier in the Confed
erate army and his slave, Foster,
remained at home to work the plan
tation. A party of Sherman’s raid
ers took Pete away with them and
forced him to serve against his
master. Upon the ending of hostili
ties Pete returned to his master’s
home and has been there ever
since.
