DR. D. J. SANDERS DEAD.
President of Blddle University Dies
of Gastritis, Combined With La
Grippe Had Been Sick Off and
On Since December Desperately
III for Past Two Weeks A Career
of Usefulness.
Dr. Daniel J. Sanders, colored,
president of Blddle University, died
at his home at the college last night
at 11:17. The Immediate cause of
his death was gastritis, combined
with la grippe. The Illness which
terminated fatally had its beginning
on December 21. assuming a desper
ate nature about two weeks ago. No
funeral arrangements have as fet
been made, but it is presumed that
the funeral and interment will take
place here to-morrow.
The death of Dr. Sanders has re
moved from the field of education
one of the most prominent of South
ern negro educators. For 17 years
he had presided over the destinies
of Blddle University, being the first
and. up to the time of his death, the
only colored president It hhs ever
had. He succeeded Rev. William F.
Johnstn In this position.
Dr. Sanders at the time of his de
mise was 60 years old. having been
born February 15, 1S47. He was a
native of the vicinity of Chester, S.
C. but came to Charlotte from
Wilmington, whre he was pastor of
tho colored Presbyterian church. He
was for quite a while the editor of
The Afro-American Presbyterian, the
organ of his Church. Dr. Sanders
vas graduated from AIleRheny Theo
logical Seminary, of Allegheny, Pa.
During his connection with Blddle, In
addition to his duties as president,
he taught classes in Hebrew.
Dr. Sanders was a man of learn
ing and culture. His ability is shown
by the fact that for a long number
of years he held his position as
president of Blddle despite his ad
vancing years, the Increasing re
quirements and exactions of a posi
tion constantly growing In Im
portance, an in spite of the candi
dacy of numerous other men. He
was quiet and unassuming, but there
was that about him which com
manded the respect and won the re
gard of white and black alike. His
Influence whs wholly for good and In
his death the Southern negro has
lost a valuable friend.
Dr. Sanders is survived by a wife
snd seven children, four sons end
three daughters. Dr. G. E. DavH,
dan of the university, Is acting presi
dent. Partnership Notlc.
The following card haa been issued:

Several years ago I was a great
sufferer from muscular rheumatism,
and my doctor advised me to go on
Mis. Joe Person's Remedy. I only
took a few bottles when I was en
tirely cured. I then commenced to
use it In my family for general use
and we depended on It for breaking
up colds, neuralgia and most of the
troubles one's family Is subject to.
Four years ago, Just three months
beforo the birth of one of my chil
dren, I was taken down with measles,
which weakened me Rrcatly. My
sttmach would not rrtuln a thing and
I was In a serious condition. With
the consent of my physician, I again
started on Mrs. Joe Person's Reme
dy. I commenced to build up at
once, and I believe It carried me
safely through my trouble I believe
I would have died had I not taken It.
I do not think there. Is a medicine
its equal when a tonic is needed to
build up the system.
