AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER DIVORCED WIFE I DIES IN WANT Millionaire Duke’s Mate Passes, Suffering for Lack Food NEW YORK, Oct. 26. Mrs. Lillian N. Duke, who was divorced twenty years ago by the late tobac co magnate, James B. Duke, died ■ early Sunday morning in her music • studio on West Eighty-eighth street, j She had been unconscious since Oc tober 22 when she suffered two cere bral hemmorhages. Since the death of her former hus- I band on October 10, Mrs. Duke had \ been greatly depressed, according to ! her attorney, Miss Lillian Pugh, who : said Mrs. Duke’s condition was un ' doubtedly complicated by lack of food. She refused to accept loans from friends, her attorney said. The tobacco manufacturer’s first wife died in penury, although twelve years ago she was mistress of for tune then estimated at $100,000,000. At the time, Mrs. Duke pre sided over the hubsand’s mansions in New York and Newport; in recent years she had been reduced to giving | music lessons to a handful of pupils. She had studied at one time under i Jean De Reszke. Miss Pugh said Mr. Duke knew of his former wife’s difficulties before his death. In his will, filed for pro bate on October 23, he made no pro vision for her, but left the bulk of his estate, now estimated at $150,- 000,000 to his second wife, Mrs. Nan aline H. Duke, and to their daugh ter, Doris. Mrs. Lillian Duke stood on a knoll in Central Park and watched, with tears streaming down her cheeks, during the funeral procession of her former husband on its way down Fifth Avenue. A year after their marriage. Mr. Duke brought suit for divorce, nam ing as corespondent Major Frank T. Huntoon ,a former ofifeer in the Old Guard and head of a mineral water concern. It was said at the tim etho divorce was granted that Mr. Duke made a settlement on her of $500,000, but Miss Pugh recently denied that Mrs. Duke received any sum from the to bacco man for the divorce. Three years ago, Fred A. Lindsey was sent to Sing Sing prison for swindling Mrs. Duke of $325,000 in j cash and $50,000 in jewelry. Mrs. Duke brought suit last May to have her former husband’s divorce invalidated. matter of building a paved road from there to meet the Thomasville road at the county line. Should that be done, with the completion of the pav ing from Thomasville to the Mitchell County line, there would be an un broken paved highway from Quit man to Albany. FOR SALE FOR SALE —Bargain.

A storm of cyclonic proportions swept over Spring Hill settlement, near Comre, 18 miles from Eufaula Sunday morn ing at 5 o’clock. Three negro men were killed and a number injured by fallng walis of houses. Among the more seriously injured were one white woman and several of her children.
