DEATH OF KING EDWARD. There la universal sorrow because of the death of King Edward the coy.nth of England, the announce- tnnt of which was heard with world-wide regret. We copy below a portion of The Washington Post's editorial com ment on the sad event: "Probably not since the days of Alfred the Great, and certainly not Since the glorious reign of Henry V, did any monarch ever occupy the English throne who was so popular with all classed of his subjects. The rapidity with which the end came makes the tragedy of it all the more Appalling. "King Edward was a great na tional asset. His is not the glory of an Inspired legislator or of a war rior of renown. Rather was he looked upon In the light of a common-sense sovereign, who, accepting with easy grace the limitation of his position, used his undoubtedly powerful Influence when, where, and now he could for the best interests of the body politic. His reputation 4 a diplomatist was unrivaled, and there is no question that In the many grave international crises that have arLscn since, a little over nine years ago, he came to the throne, he ren dered conspicuous services to his country by his tact, his urbanity, and his shrewd Judgment of affairs nod of men. He will go down in a-'story a the adjuster of differenc es, the peace lover, and the peace preserver. "He served a long apprenticeship to the duties of royalty during the reign of his mother, the late Queen .Victoria, and took a very prominent part in all state and official tunc tions. he and his princess winning colden opinions everywhere. Since his accession, his amenities in social life, his sportmanship, his dignity dashed with a certain amount of bonhomie, and his known respect for the greatness of his country kept en thusiasm for him at high-water mark. In that fierce, light which beats upon a throne, he comported himself in all things well. "The British empire can ill af ford to lose so wise a ruler at the present critical juncture of its af fairs. At a time when dangers threaten vaguely from without, and the settlement of a constitutional crisis of the gravest character is pending at home, Edward's firm and judicious hand on the tiller of the ship of state will be sorely and sad ly missed." Death at McAdenvlUe. Mrs. Fannie A. Brlttain. wife of Mr. J. P. Brlttain, died at her home in McAdenvlUe Wednesday night af ter an illness of only a few days. Mrs. Brlttain suffered a stroke of the nature of apoplexy, after which she survived only a short time. She is survived by her husband and sev eral children. The remains were ta ken to Lincolnton this morning foi burial. Of Interest to Candidate. Those Gaston countians who ex pect to enter the primaries May 21st as candidates for any of the county offices should read the notice ap pearing In to-day's Gazette from Chairman C. B. Armstrong of the county Democratic executive com mittee.
