Death Of Mrs. D. A. Atwe!I.

Ms. D. A. Atwell, who had
been seriously i'll for some time,
died at her home Friday night.
The deceased was Miss Sallie
Bostian, and was a native of Vlr-
GINA. She came to this city when
a child, and resided here for the
most of her life of So years. She
was a devout member of the
Methodist church from her early
childhood, and was we'll known
for her charitable and benevo-
lent work. Her loss is doplored
by a large circle of friends and
acquaintance. The funeral was
held Sunday afternoon from the
First Methodist church. Rev. J.
G. Rowe officiating.

A Vain Undertaking,

Of all the criticism an reproact
that the President has drawn up
on himself by reason of the now
famous ''refawmed spellin'" or
der, the most scathing opprobri-
I'M and pitiless sarcasm, to ou1
notion, is embraced in this one
sentence from an editorial in The
Washington Post:
"Perhaps it is fortunate for
language that it is the creature
of the princes of letters and not
the product of the potentates of
politics."
Continuing the thought SO we'll
introduced, The Post illustrates
it's point with all historical cita-
ton. It says:
"There was Marlborough, a
great captain and a greater man,
though a superb and magnificent
scamp. From the field of his
most famous victory he sent a
dispatch under his own %nane.and
seal in which he spelled the word
blood 'blode;' and yet, of all the
heroes between Julius Caesar and
Napolean Bonaparte, we would
like you to find us a higher au-
thority on blood, shed in battle,
than that same John of Marl-
borough. He was conten t 70
leave letters to Addison and
Swift, their predecessors and the +
SUCCESSORS"
There the matter hangs, for
that is the point. Mr. Roosevelt
is a politician, not al arbiter of
of English, nor with the attri-
butes of high position and popu~
larity will he be able to tear down
the temples of Milto n and
Shakespeare, nor uproo OF
growth OF centuries. AS the Post
we'll says, "the men who make
books, who produce literature,
must make the language. The
English is the grandest and the
richest of all languages. 1t is a
growth, and it is the growth of
the oak-gradual and patient.
That is what made English litera-
ture the most splendid monument
of letters yet constructed by the
genius of man. The language is
very pretty as it is. 1t is capa-
BILE of conveying more thought
than all the m n o living in
the world can conceive; and as
for the spelling, that is one of its
chiefest glories .-Charlotte Oh

Secret Marriage.

January 20 last, and which was
only known to the young lady's

AN INTERESTING SUIT.
Said to be the First one Of thu kind in
Our State Courts,

A suit which will give rise to a
battle royal in the court, has been
brought against the Southern
Railway Company, and J. E.
Curlee, of Spencer, and Ben E.
Sumner, of Salisbury, have been
made parties to the suit. The
Ashevllle Citizen Of the Both, has
the following concerning the suit:
"Charles E. Merrell. through
his attorneys, Merrimon and Mer-
rimon, has instituted suit for
$4,000 against the Southern Rail-
way Company, the Atlantic Ten
nessee and Ohio Railway, B E.
Sumner and J. E. Curlee.
Mr.. Merrell was run over by a
train near Spencer near
ly a year ago, and one of his legs
severed near the thigh. He was
chief brakeman and is said to
have had a verg good record as a
faithful, competent work m a n.
At the time of the accident he
was chief Akeman of the second
section Of No. II. His train had
left him, as he stopped to get q
drink, expecting to catch another
in the same direction. He lay
down beside the track to drink
from a spring and was, he alleges,
run over by another train back
ing. He claims that he did not
see the train coming, and no
warning was given him to get cut
of the way. He alleges gross
carelessness and negligence ON
the part of the crew of the train,
employees of the company, IN not
keeping a proper LOOKOUT IN the
direction the train was running
He has, of course, been unable to
engage in his former occupation
siuce the time of his injury.
The Atlantic, Tennessee and
Ohio Railway Company has been
made a party in the suit because
the track on which the accident
occurred was built by it, and Ell
Their leased or sold to the South
ern Railway Company. Messrs.
Sumner and Cur]ee are members
of the crew of the train, who are
alleged to have been careless"

WHERE IS McBURNEY?
Prominent Mason Disappears
Foul PLAY Feared.

j. E. McBurney, of Boise, Ida, the
Right Eminent Grand Commander
of the Knights Templar, has myster-
iously disappeared from Spokane
without trace of his whereabouts.
McBurney left Boise some time ago
and visited Spokane, and while there
arrangements were perfected for the
installation of the officers of the To-
cal lodge of the Commandary, to be
held here Monday evening, with Mr..
McBurney officiating. On Monday
morning McBurney left the hotel in
Spokane for this city, leaving his
effects at the hotel without stating
when he would return, and has not
been seen since. He was scheduled
to appear in this city in time to off,
ciate at the installation, but failed to
do so. The members of the local
lodge took it for granted that there
had been some misunderstanding on
the part of McBurney, and that he
did not come, but this morning the
Press received a message from Spo-
kane asking if he had been seen in
the city. The police and newspapers
of Spokane are making a thorough
search, but so far they have not been
successful in locating him, or even
founo trace of him. 1t is thought
that he is the victim of foul play, as
no other reason can be assigned for
his disappearance, as he was in the
best of health when last seen, and it
is known that nothing short Of tenn.
porary insanity would cause him to
suicide, for his business cares
and troubles are few.
