The odore Pearson, more familiarly known as "Teddy" Pearson, many years a resident of Durham and once in business here, died this morning at .some unknown place between Durham and Dallas, Texas, being on his way home when death overtook him. He was coming here to die among his friends. Several years ago he left this place for Texas, going to El Paso for his health. He grew but little, if any, better. He was cheerful to the last, however, and his letters that came to his friends, especially his lodge mates, were so full of life that one instinctively thought him better. Three or four months ago it became aparent that he could not live long and he wrote as much a few days ago, declaring that he meant to come here to spend his last days. He deferred that too long and hadn't strength to make the trip. Tuberculosis was the cause of death. SpraiU's Shortage Wa$ $3,300. Elizabeth City, N. C, May 27. The suicide of Cashier R. H.
