DR.. PH|PPS DEAD
Member of House From
Watauga Dies Suddenly
of Pneumonia.

The death yesterday morning of DR..
c. w. Phipps, Representative from
Watauga county. was one of the sad
dest events characterizing any recent
session of the legislature. He had
been suffering with a cold last week
and on Saturday was confined to his
bed. Pneumonia developed and he
died yesterday morning at six O'Clock
despite every effort on the part of the
attending physicians to save his life.
Mrs. Phipps, who came to the city
day or SO ago was with her husband
at the end.
The remains were taken yesterday
on the afternoon train to be inferred
at Grassy Creek church. near his
home. accompanied by the legislative
committees named by the Senate ano
House. with the exception of Senator
Lone, of Iredcll. who remains in Raj
eigh.
DR.. Phipps was in his own and sew
eral surrounding counties widely
loved and esteemed as a conscientious
practicing physician. He was forty
four years Old and had practiced med
icine for twenty years. He was mar
ried in 1882 to Miss Grier. of Ashe
county. but had no children.
His representation Of his county i'll

first public service. Although mex

the reputation of being an able, care
full and conscientious LEGISLATOR. serv-
ing ably on the committees on Health
Education. Roads and Turnpikes Per
sonal3y he was very popular with the
Il gislators. who will miss him sadly.
In appearance DR.. Phipps looked TO
be the big, strong man that he was in
sympathy and intellect. He lowered
high above the heads of his fellow
members when he rose to make an
occasional speech or motion. That SO
magnificent physical specimen
should have been laid low with such
sudden fate adds poignancy to the
ritv of his death
