ing hundreds an opportunity to swell the

having gone there about the first OF the
year. Before reaching Charlotte last
night Mr.. and Mrs. Lee went into the
dining car for dinner. While eating her
meal she remarked to her husband that
she had swallowed small portion OF q
chicken bone and that 1t had lodged in
her throat. The incident was considered
not at all in serious way by either.
Mrs. Lee continued her meal. but at diff
ferent times spoke Of the bone worrying
her very much when she swallowed her
food. After returning to the Pullman
she continued to complain. and when the
train was nearing Charlotte Mr.. Lee
suggested that they stop here and let a
physician examine her throat. and II
possible extract the bone. A physician
was sent for. examined the lady's throat,
and by inserting an instrument could
feel the bone. AS tho swelling produced
by the bone passing through tho layrnx
was very pcrceptiblc. tho physician
thought best not to extract IT., but pushed
1t down into the stomach. Mrs. Lee con-
tinued to improve until $3.50 O'CLOCK this
morning, when she became unconscious.
and died in a few minutes.

Col. George Wayne Anderson
Secures the Passage Of
dlBill,

Senator George Wayne Anderson, who
is also colonel of the sevent!eth Regi-
ment Of Virginia Infantry. and one Of
the best-known military men In the State,
yesterday secured the passage through
the Senate of bill increasing by fifty
per cent. the amount appropriated by the
State for the support of the volunteer
militia. Under the old law the military
fund amounted to but one-half OF one
per cent. of the revenue from taxation
save that for school purposes. The new
bill increases this to ee-fourths Of
one per cent, thus increasing tho fund
from about hirteen thousand dollars to
nearly or quite nineteen Thousand dol
lars, If the House shall also pass the bill.
Senator Anderson had the usual civilian
criticisms of the militia to refute and
made an earnest and effective plea for the
support Of the volunteers
