Mr. Lewis, a real old timer in
Southern Pines, said this week he
had no announcement to make of
future plans except that he means
to “stay active.” He has had a
busy life, with plenty of ups and
downs, and retirement has no ap
peal for him.
He came to Southern Pines from
New Hampshire in 1915, and
opened, the original Lewis Trade
store—a small provision business
in a building he built about where
Holliday’s Coffee shop is today.
In 10 years he had a thriving
business grossing $200,000 a year.
He chose that time to take a va
cation in Florida, visiting a broth
er who was in ill health there, and
the -'‘boom bug” bit him. Things
were going great guns in Florida,
and the Sandhills merchant plung
ed into the real estate game. It
was just at that moment the game
ceased to be a game, and became
a tragedy. Like many others, Mr.,
Lewis lost all he had, and came
back home to make another start.
He started in a small way to
deal in used furniture. Later he
sold insurance, then took on some
appliance lines in the building he
has just disposed of. Slow but
sure was his motto, and little by
httlp he built back to a solid foot
ing,
Of recent years Lewis Trade
stcre has been one of the most
consistently successful of South
ern Pines retail businesses. Its
trade extends over a wide area
and people come from several
counties around to buy.
Mr. Heller, the new owner, is

of Mr. Lewis, originally from
Bethlehem, Pa., formerly lived in

Hooker died of his injuries the
following day at the Lee county
hospital. Funeral services were
held Monday at the Negro Bap
tist church at Cameron, of which
he was a longtime member and
deacon.
He was a familiar figure around
the Cameron depot, where he was
employed by the Seaboard as mail
messenger. Reports of the acci
dent say that he was between the
double tracks with a hand bag
gage truck, while one train was
stopped at the depot, when an
other, passing, struck the truck,
jamming Hooker between it and
the first train. He received head,
shoulder, rib and internal injur
ies.
He was described as “always
polite and ready to lend a helping
hand.” Surviving are his wife,
Jennie Belle, several children and
