Mrs. Scion Switzerland died at her
home in this county Sunday after a
brief illness. Her condition had been
critical from the first and little hope

Mrs. Switzerland was a most ex-
cellent woman and her death is much
lamented by her neighbors and others.
She was about 30 years of age. A
husband and eight children survive
her.

The PurcSt Article to be Had,

Brldgers sent sample of water which
the Henderson Water Company sup
plies its patrons with to Dr. w. L.
Pate, bacteriOlogist for North Caro-
lima State Board of Health, Gibson, n.
c., to be analysed. There was no
suspicion that the water was not per-
fectly pure and wholesome but Mr..
Bridgers is in the habit of having o
analyses made of it at stated periods
in order to keep it so. Dr.. Pate
writes that the sample sent was free
from any poisonous or impure matter
and perfectly safe for all domestic
purposes. This is more than can be
said of many wells Thus it seems
as if the city supply water is the
purest to be had

to Republican success. The applica-
ton went to the president It was
found impossible to give him the place

available In a personal interview. the
case was stated to the. candidate. and
he said that he would, on the whole.
prefer this position to the one origin
ally asked for Thereupon the appoint
ment was made and his name sent to
the senate.
on learning these circumstances,
Senator Wellington went to the presi-
dent in fury. To the reminder that
his candidate had been appointed to
a position entirely satisfactory to him,
he replied that It was not the one that
he. wellington, had selected; that he
would have no appointments given to
Maryland Republicans without his ex-
press recommendation as to the assign
ment OF individuals and positions: and
that he would break with the admin
istra don and oppose the confirmation
OF his own friend II this appointment
wac not Withdrawn. He was dismissed
with the courteous assurance that the
presidents action was final, and there
upon he declared war.
From that day his attacks upon the
administration have been ceaseiess. He
did attempt to prevent the confirmation
OF the appointment referred to. invoif-
ing senatorial courtesy. and his vote
was the only one cast against II. Since
then he has been the unfailing critic
and assailant Of the administration.
He broke with all the other Republican
leaders In his state. They turned him
down locally, but his intrigues were
successful enough to break the party's
standing in Maryland: and the defeat
Of Gov Lowndes In 1899 and the return
