Mrs. Thomas Candy died at her home
Ou IDc O4medQ EOdu OU luuEbQaY WDFQ-
ing after strange Illness. She bad been
in poor health for some time and on Mon
day of last week she lapsed into a coma
tose or trance like state from which all
efforts to resuscitate her proved ruthless.
From Monday until her death on Thurs
day she remained in what seemed 10 be- a
tranquil sleep, and there was nothing in
her condition to indicate that she snf-
fered the slightest bodily pain. The ply
sicians in attendance we're greatly puzzled
and every known means of resuscitailon
! from such a condition was resorted to
without effect, and she died about six
O'Clock on Thursday morning without a
struggle, after a continuous sleep of nearly
| 20 hours. She was a daughter of P.
Stricken Bodine, OF near Pemberton, and
numerous members of the family reside
in different parts of the county Mr..
Candy, four sons and daughter survive
! her.
Nowhere else in the county does the vote
cast on Tuesday indicate a disapproYal
of machine methods more than in this
city. Here, it will be remembered, there
was bitter fight for delegates to the Re-
! publican convention, and the city's own
candidate, Col. Haines, withdrew from
the contest because of the fight that was
/ being waged against him. Borton was
not the first choice of the party here Tor
the nomination and while it had to sub
NIT to his candidacy refused to support
him. That was the issue here, and at no
time did it assume the form of party
disaffection, but simply disapprovsl of
machine methods at the primaries and in
the convention. Aside from the natural
! loss from the stay-at- homes, the resi- of
the ticket received loyal support. BortOn
being the only candidate who suffered.
1t is well to understand this. The party
here is not at odds in any sense, and will
be all the stronger now that the fight is
| of and the Tebuke to the handful of rule
or ruin leaders administered. No better
time could have been chosen for the
party to administer the rebuke than i'm
mediately following the cause for il. The
loss does not ieopardize the party major
ity in the Senate nor on joint ballot. 10
have nursed their grievance would have
resulted IN disorganizaton and disiute-
grafton, and weakened front for next
years struggle. To this respect it was he
part of wisdom and the party il really
stronger for its self imposed defeat.
