Suicide Theory Is Not Believed. Special to The Georgian. Augusta, Ga., July 14.'—No greater social shock has been felt by the peo ple of Augusta than that caused by the announcement of the trouble of Thom- W. Alexander. Alexander’s life had been spent In Augusta. He waa con sldered a model of honesty end a man among men: a man of ability, an at' tentlve eon, and one whose evefy ac' tlon bespoke his pleasure In admin istering to his aged mother; one who was a devoted hueband aritt father. Alexander was regarded by all who knew him aa a man of strong moral character. There are none now who can but feel that extravagance and dissipation stole upon him In the most gradual way until he was finally over thrown. The fact that he has fallen does not preclude the people from pity ing him. Instead of blaming him, Au gusta extends universal sympathy to this man In the position In which he has placed himself. Was Just to His Ensmias. Tom Alexander, as he was familiarly known, wae always found to be kind, considerate and gentle with hie friends and fair In hts opposition to those whd were not hie friends. That, Alexander may fall Into the hands of the law and receive punishment by the elate Is pos sible, but his friends believe no punish ment that can be Inflicted under .the law Is comparable with the punishment that the man must have endured during the past (our or five years, as he real ised that the colls were gradually tightening about him. That his trouble has been brought about by a love of material comfort, In which the predominating feature was the pleasure and comfort of those who were dear to him, and the eoctal vice of a friendly game. It Is generally con ceded. Trouble! Began at Club. Alexander's troubles began about five years ago. It recalls the organization of a club located In the country, within the confines of Richmond county. You can find at thle locality during certain seasons of the year dally gatherings of young men around the tables, at which cards are played for largo stakes. This Is a matter which has been freely spoken of for years, and It Is believed the Indulgences which have led to thl* man's downfall began here. The club In question, it Is generally admitted, has been frequented by the leading men of the city, some holding official positions, and while all were friends and the object of the game os tensibly only for pleasure and social In tercourse, It is said to have worked a terrible evil. A Warning to Others. Therefore, today Tom Alexander lies wreck on a' shore on which many lives have stranded, Instead of stand ing out on the rock os a lighthouse to warn others from danger. Hie friends believe that this wreck of a man, en dowed by nature with'ft''strong mind filed In the office ef the clerk of the Federal court here late*. In the after noon. The petition set forth the fact that Jhe firm had preferred one credit or to another *and asked that they be adjudged a bankrupt. Perry Beneon has been secured by the creditors to Investigate the claims of the different creditors, also to check up the books of the firm and ascertain the amount of the indebtedness. A meeting of the creditors was held yesterds on account of there being no e\ before them they adjourned until some other date, pending the Investigation ot Mr. Benson. 8uiclde Not Believed. Alexander's disappearance Is still a mystery to hie close friends, but It Is Id that, he has about f 13,000 on his person, or had about that amount when he left here, and It Is not believed that he has killed himself. 1 It has been traced that he had about the above amount from the borrows he made on the morning that he left Augusta. The amount of money that has been lost by the banka, the other corporations and private cltlaens Is not considered by the great shock It has had with the confidence ot hla friend*. Up to last night no one had heard from him, or, if they had, It was not known to the public. All of his friends are trying to locate him, and If posal ble Induce him to return to the city. Left Wife and Children, So far as can be learned, Mrs. T. W. Alexander has not heard from her hus band since his departure from the city. She and her five little children, most of whom are girls, are at their home on the 1000 block of Greene street. Only yeeterday the cotton exchange changed the figures of the amount of cotton stored here, and decreased tho amount 2,000 bales:- this was to cover the amount of shortage In Alexander's warehouse. , Heavy Claims Filad, The petition filed in the bankruptcy proceedings eunmerates the following creditors: i Georgia Railroad bank .. ..$120,000.00 National Bank of Augusta .. 7,500.00 Southern State Phosphate and Fertilizer Company .. 11,681.02 G, H. GIRARDEAU For County Treasurer. In coming before the public at a can* dldnte for the office of county treasurer, subject to the primary of August 22, think it scarcely neceaaary to say to ths people of a community/ in which I hare lired for orer twenty yearSs and with large portion of which 1 am personally— and I trust favorably—acquainted, that do not seek this responsible office from the Undpolnt of a ring politician, but rather as an experienced business man, a citizen having, above alLthinga else in public life.

Piquart and Zola Are to Be Given Bela ted Honor. and charming personality, may be tho*‘h« welfare of his city, county, aud state cause of saving others. Those who Ttnew him Intimately, speak In low tones of this man' who todny Is a wan derer and exile, hunted and haunted and who with the sensitive nature that hat always been his, has to think of those dependent on him being left to struggle alone; to think of the aged mother who le bowed In grief and de spair: to recall that only a few years ago he stood untarnlehed, a man with a reputation second to none, and a man who would not for an Instant brook an Insinuation that he had been guilty of any immoral or unfair act It Is recalled that on an occasion when In a political meeting It was Inti mated by his opponent that he was act ing unfairly, or that'he was trying to take an undue advantage, how Alexan der sprang to hla fet, turned on his accuser and in an Impassioned manner refuted the Insinuation, and carried the meeting by storm. His Friend* Pity Him Hie friends do not condone hi* of fense. They condemn him. But hie friends pity him, and pity those who are near and dear to him, and wish that It was In their power to wipe away the shortcoming and place Alex ander where he stood a few years ago. The hope It expressed on all sides that In the wreck that has been wrought a warning may be given to others that will causa them to steer clear of the coast sailed by this man. a coast that Is dangerous, and a coast that Is strewn with wreck*. Somp of Alexander's friends have enough con fidence In the man to believe that If the opportunity Is offered he will devote the rest of hit life to making amende for the wrong he has done.

JEROME AND GARVIN REACH HERE SUNDAY Continusd from Page One. was 47 last April. His history In tab loid form shows quick advancement. He 1s a graduate of Amherst College and the Columbia Law School. He waa admitted to the bar In 1884 and became a clerk In a law office. He wore out his clothes waiting for clients and then fell in love. His father had a pull with Richard Croker, who waa then In power, and young Jerome se cured a place In the office of the dis trict attorney, John R. Fellows. It waa a different office then, before Je rome reformed It. The young attor ney worked like a slave, went Into the courts, made a reputation, got on the toeing side of an election and saw the end of hla term staring him In the face. He was married by this time and the outlook was gloomy. Then he was made assistant counsel of the Lexow committee, to Investigate Dr. Park- hurst's charges. Here he learned to go to the bottom of things and cure crime by Jailing criminals. When Wil liam L. Strong waa elected mayor of New York In 1885 Jerome was appoint ed Judge of the court of special ses sions, where he continued seven years. Theodore Roosevelt, then police com missioner, waa raiding the city nightly and stirring up trouble for the police grafters', and,Jerome tried the offend ers. They were a pair to be afraid of. In 1881 Mr. Jerome was elected district attorney as a Democrat. Last year he ran again, tfyla time as an Independ ent, snd again won the race. He cells himself a Democrat, but he Is not a strong partisan. He prefers to be free to think and work as he pleases. Special Csble—Copyright.
