Governor Glenn:
In the death of Mr. Washington
Duke North Carolina has lost one OF
her best and most progressive citi-
zcnS.
From small beginnings he did great
things. and by a life of untiring ener-
gy and sterling honesty made for him
self as business man name sec
ond to none in the State. He was
benevolent, believed in education, as
shown by his endowment of schools
and colleges, stood for Improvement
and upbuilding, was deyout and
humble Christian, and deservedly had
the respect and love of all who knew
him. Our State truly mourns the
death of such man.

OF LARGE BenevoIence.

Rev. Robah f. Bumpass
/ believe Mr.. Washington Duke to
have been a thoroughly good man,
pure, conscientious, consistent. He
was devoted to the interests of his
church and of his employers. / speak
of him as / knew him a dozen years
ago as his pastor. He had a fine sense
of honor He was a man of large
benevolences. No gifts were ever
wrung from him. He gave spontane-
ously, as the sun shines, as the spring
bubbles up and overfows its banks
To him giving was a joy. He came
very near the ideal hilarious giver"
of whom st. aul speaks. His gifts
carried blessing o many hearts.
No worthy person or object ever APP
pealed to him in vain. His gifts over
flowed his communion and commu-
nifty and race. Thousands will rise
up and call him blessed.

Brave. strong, True.

DR.. B. T.. Dixon:
Washington Duke was one of the
most rugged and powerful men | ever
met. Beginning life anew after the
war he faced the world with so cents
in cash in his pocket. He set braveIy
to work rented land, afterward
bought o farm and from that small
beginning by industry, economy and
character he built a most magnificent
fortune. OF this fortune he has given
largely to charity, and he is now rec
ognized as one of the South's greatest
philanthropists. He not only gave
largely TO great institutions but the
poor in Durham and elsewhere always
found his heart warm and his pocket
open to them.
He was as simple in his manners as
a little child; he hated show and
tinsel and his heart was as big as the
man himself. This brave old Confed-
crate soldier has gone to answer the
call of the great captain, and | can
fancy that he will be the same brave,
truthful, honest faithful, simple
hearted man there as he was here.
His Life an Inspiration.
j A. Brown:
Mr.. Washington Duke lived life
that ought to be an inspiration TO our
young men. In his early days he
toIled increasingly He never permit
ted disappointment to sour him or TO
becloud his faith in God or man. lie
set before his children an example u
rigid industry and of strict integrity
and III all his various business enter
prises no one ever knew him to
swerve from what he conceived to be
the right for the accomplishment Of
any selfish purpose.
In later years when fortune smiled
upon him, he never changed his sim
pie way of living, he never lost his
simple faith. Conscientious in the per-
Torrance of every duty he used the
talents that God had given him TO the
enlargement of his estate, and his
large benefactions bear witness to the
fact that he regarded this as a great
endowment which he must use for
the betterment of his fellowmen
The cause of education was dear
to him, he loved his church. and he
never seemed happier than when he
was spending his money for their adj
vancemcnt
The State has lost valuable citi-
zen and the church a great benefac-
tor.

Prayer ~ q Mental Healer.

An utterance which will be taken as sig
nifcant OF the trend OF scientific thought with
respect to religion was made At the recent an.
nusl meeting OF the British Association by
DR.. T. B. Hyslop, head OF the Bethlehem
Royal hospital In London. To quote:
"As an alieptst and one whose life has been
concerned with the sufferings OF the mind,
would state that OF all hygienio measures to
oounteract disturbed sleep. depressed spirits
and all the miserable sequels OF q distressed
mind I would undoubtedly give the nrst
place to the simple habit Of prayer. ..' Let
there but be q habit of nightly. communion.
not as q medicant or repeater Of words moro
adapted to the tongue OF q sage, but as hum.
BILE individual who submerges or asserts bis
Individuality a. an integral part OF greater
whole. Such Q habit does more to clean the
spirits and strengthen tho soul to overcome
mere incidental smotionalism than any
other therapeutic agent known to mo-"
Commenting upon this, the Outlook, says
that DR.. HyslopJ com mpetenoe TO speak In the
name Of solenoe 10 unquesIionabls and adds,
"What he af1rms as q discovery. OF medical
science 10 identical With tho immemoriRl
