DIED IN NAUCATUCK
Mrs. George Baratt, Wife of One of the Early
 Knife Makers of Waterbury.

Mrs George Barratt. widow of the late George Barratt. one of the early knife-makers of Waterbury and later proprietor of cafe on East Main street and one time proprietor of tine Farmers Home, died this morning at her home in Naugatuck from the ef- fleets of blood poisoning. The trouble first started in her hand and worked into her arm, rendering amputation necessary. The operation was per formed successfully, but the shock was too much for the patient and she passed away early to-day.
 Mrs Barratt had wealthy relatives in England, wno made a fortune out of patents for hardening steel, but afte" the death of the patentees the govern ment got hold of the rights and the heirs were obliged to resort to the courts to get their rights. Mrs Bar ratt was one of the heirs and with others fought the government for years and ill the end succeeded in get ting decision in their favor. At that time they received considerable money and the patents are still good and roy alties are coming in to their heirs.
 George Barratt and his wife were among the best known and best liked of the early English settlers of Water bury. Everybody who knew them had good word for them. and the an- nouncement of Mrs Barratt's death will recall to the minds of many pleas ant recollectiOns when herself and her husband were royal entertainers at the Farmers Home.

who could be elected to public office,
and still fewer who would accept it UNI
der existing conditions. Even our nine
congressman will not average with the
men of the first class in ability in South
Carolina; though one of them is one of
the ablest of the senators.
Now and then a promising man,
moved by n motive or another, per-
haps it may be honorable ambition for
political position, does go into public
life and give all that is in him to the
service of the people. Of such type we
honestly and sincerely believe are Neils

Lyon of Abbeville. They ought to
have the encouragement of the men
who love their State, and we wish that
every man who reads this article would

'LAURENS, S. c.. June 6, 1906.
The Newberry Observer says:


ut is going to be a close race be-
tween Messrs. Jones and Walker for
the office of comptroller-general. Both
are capable men. They we're oppo-
nents four years ago, and Jones won
by only five hundred and seven votes
out of ninety thousand. 1t may be re-
marked in passing hat this is one of
the most important offices in the gift of
the people,"
Four years ago we supported Mr..
Walker solely on personal grounds, al
though at the time we had a high re-
gard for Mr.. A. w. Jones as a manly
fellow, with plenty of hard sense.
This year we are in favor of his re-
election. We do not favor him because
he is a poor man and a working man;
that has nothing to do with the case;
but because we believe he is a compe-
tent man, and is not afraid to express
opinions that may be unpopular. AS
we have heretofore intimated, we have
no special admiration for the State
House gang generally, but we regard
Mr.. Jones as of another and better
grade.
