a YOUNG GIRLS SUICIDE.
Miss Edwards, OF Burke, Throws Herself iu
Mill Pond-No Reason Given for tho
Act

Especial to the Charlotte Observer Odd.
Rutherford College, Oct. 21.-About
o'clock this morning Miss Rosa Ed
wards, the beautiful and accomplished
| daughter of Rev. II. II. Edwards, was
drowned in Johnson's mill pond, one
| mile from Rutherford College. Miss
Rosa was the teacher of tho public
| school, and had left her home ostensi-
bly, to go to her work. But she never
| reached 1t. The keeper of the old mill
saw her pass up the unfrequented path
way to tho pond, and expressed his won
der where she was going. He saw her
walk briskly up the pathway until she
came to where u part of former dam
afforded walk into the middle of the
pond. This, rs was evidenced by her
tracks, she had taken to the end, and
had there made the fatal plunge. Her
body was recovered within few min
utes OF the drowning, and while there
was some slight beating of the heart,
oil efforts to revive her proved futile
The girl was about 10, of prepossessing
appearance and manner, we'll educated,
and of pronounced piety. If it was sui
eide, as the circumstances strangely
suggest, there can be no reason found
for it but one-that Is the loss of sleep,
sitting up for weeks with her dying
stepmother, may havc unbalanced her
mind. 1t is avery strange affair, and
Mr.. Edwards has the sympathy of our
people.
The theory Of suicide was confirmed
later today by the finding OF q note
near where Miss Edwards entered the
water. The note was: "W orthless.
No one to blame but Rosa Edwards"
