business ,hc best this year. The

There seems 10 hc little resent

The fact that hundreds 0f people
can pay cash at this store, MAY
mean that more people will have 70
pay cash elsewhere, aud a tighten

HE NEVER HARMED
ANYONE BUT HIMSELF
Bunch" Cartwright VIII Battle No
More with His Old Time
Enemy

Bunch" Cartwright is dead. He
died Wednesday at the Elizabeth
City Hospital following short ILL
ness. His death was due to natural
causes, but may have been hasten
ell by the shock Of excessive alco-
hclic stimulation following a long
period of total abstinence.
His name was Sidney Smith Cart
wright and he WAS 60 years old; but
to Elizabeth City he was Bunch
and he was a part of Elizabeth City.
He was a gentle, humOrouSly cyni-
cal. kindly. lovable personality full
or good will for all the world. He
may have had his troubles, but he
never bothered other folk with
them. lie loved his liquor. He was
Il hard drinkcr for years but with
all mis- drinking he was ever serene
and gcntlcmanly. never boisterous.
lie read much, thought much upon
life and took like phyilosOphically.
He was the only son of the late
.Tchn B. Cartwright and Mrs. Pattie
Cartwright, and lived with them
during their life time. Several
l,arS ago his father died. leaving
him alone with his aged mother. In
the late autumn of 1924 his mother
died. Following tho death of his
rCthcr Bunch" Cartwright made a
profession of Christian faith and
affiliated himself with the church.
He quit drinking at the time and
kept the faith for more than Il year.
But it is told around town that Il
group Of young men persuaded him
to hc good fellow" and have Il
drink one night q few weeks ago.
Bunch" was wobbly after that !;
everybody took note that he was
talking on unsteady legs. But only
The witlcss laughed; for it was also
noticeable that Bunch was griev-
Cusly huniliatcd; he had meant to
20 straight.
For all any one knows, rcmorSe
and shame may have contributed TO
his death as much as anything else;
for Bunch" Cartwright had always
played the game straight with
everybody but himself. In the old
days he drank openly and shame
lcssly because he thought he harm
eli no ono but himself; In the old
days he felt no social responsibility.
But when he had taken the pledge
and joined the church he felt strong
Is his obligation 10 his friends and
neighbours. No one will ever know
how much he suffered when he lost
his grip upon himself q few short
weeks ago and took the downward
Zi@-zag road.
They laid Bunch" Cartwright
away in Hollywood Cemetery Thurs.
day morning. Only two relatives,
cousins, remained TO mourn his end !:
Dr.. \. L. Pendclton and Mrs. a. 5.
