DEATH OF Mr.. JAMES CATucART. we
have again to announce the death of one
OF our old and respected citizens. Mr.
James Cathcart departed this life, yes
terday, about o'clock. He was stricken
with paralysis week or ten days ago,
and had been hopelessly i'll ever since.
Mr.. Cathcart was native of Ireland,
but came to this country when young
man, in the year 1916. and has been, We
believe, resident of Columbia from
short while after that time till his death.
While on his way to America, at the
commencement of the war of 1912, he
was captured by British man-of-war
and impressed into the marine service,
where he was held until he made his
escape in 1914 or 1915. He was the CO.
temporary of our oldest citizens-being
in his scventy-eighth year when he died,
and having resided in Columbia for
upwards of fifty years. He has been
engaged oil his life, we are told, in the
cotton business; was ON active and capa-
BILE man of business; amassed several
fortunes by his industry and the exercise
OF prudent judgment; and lost as
many through his generous desire to
assist his friends when in trouble. For
long period Of years, up to the disso-
luton OF that institution, be was q
Director in the Branch Bank of the
State, located here. He was universally
respected, and by those who knew him,
warmly esteemed as an honest man, and
tho never failing friend Of \the dis
tressed.
His funeral will take place this otter
noon, ut o'clock, at his late residence.
