Orangeburg merchant since 1904, P had been inrfailingihealth for-som? * time but his sudden death in Phila * delphia, July 25, whoio he h a d ^ gone for rest and treatment was ^ a profound shock.

"Wb worked togeth p er," said Mr. Dukes, "and business g men, especially grocers have seen-c some dark days during recent s years. But there was-,always an j understanding between us so that oacli felt the need of the other and <i each of. us was ready and willing f to offer assistance to the other.

Carlyle says that "One man should die ignorant who had capac- t ity for knowledge is a tragedy thoit should happen - twenty times a J minute." It is -a double tragedy 8 th^n if any individual who might 9 have enjoyed normal health and 8 strength is permitted to live and * die afflidt'ed with sickness and 0 disease.
