and courteous manner be continued
to gain favor in the estimation
our people until the day he conclud
ed with his own hands to end the
existence of a noble life.
For several days previous to the
occurrence ol which we write, it was
evidently known that Mr, Cox had
been drinking to excess as his every
action demonstrated. On Wednesday
Mr. IMcCary noticed more plaimy
. the strange actions of Mr. Cox, and
fearing there might possibly arise
some trouble, secured and placed
| every deadly weapon out oi his
reach .
On Thursday morning Mr. Cox
related to Mr. J. W. Lipsey the
cause of his trouble, the act he in
tended to commit and what course
he would pursue, but warned him
never to divulge the secret to any
one until after his death. At 12
o’clock on Thursday the following
order was received by Dr. Walker,
who knowing nothing of the circum
stances complied with the request of
Mr. Cox. It soon afterward became
known that the order was forged to
Dr. Walker by signing the name of
Dr, Wynn, of Geneva to the same:
Geneva, Ga., Aug 28, 1884.
Dear Lon:—Please send me bottle
of morphine, send bill and I will re
mit, and oblige.
A. W. Wynn, M. D.
On the back of the note were writ
ten these words and sent to Dr.
Walker:
“Fill order and I will pay it.”
I. A. Cox.
Having received the morphine at
half past twelve o’clock he left the
bar room in haste, went to his room
which was upstairs in a two story
building adjoining that occupied by
J. W. McCrary. Mr. J. W. Lipsey
thinking perhaps he was really in
earnest about the matter, went to
his room to see what had became of
Mr. Cox, when he found every door
securely fastened. With considerable
difficulty the doors were forced onen
and Mr. Cox was found stretched
upon his bed in his night clothing
and seemed almost in the last ago
nies of death. The news spread rapid
ly over the town and large crowds
of people soon gathered at the scene.
From the first it seemed a hopeless
case nevertheless. Drs. Walker, Hal
ley and Hicks, did all in their power
to save the life of Air. Cox. From
one till seven o’clock everybody,
both white and black did everything
that could he done to save his life,
hut to no effect, as it was evident
that he had taken at least 20 grains
of morphine. A few moments after
seven o’clock ho breathed h ; s last
end a sigh of sadness soread over
the town. Various are the coniec-
tures which led him *o perform f he
pc) of s"'cide. but the true cause
will probably uever be known.

Columbus, Ga., Oct. 11.—The Gil

one of the oldest concerns in the city
is to go out of business at the end of
1937.
Jas. J. Gilbert, president, announc
ed that liquidation of the business
will begin December 1. In the mean
while, and until the first week in
December, the printing concern wild
continue to handle orders as in the
past, ^remaining actively engaged in
business until that time.
The company has sent out circulars
along this line for the information
of customers.
Mr. Gilbert states that he does not
plan to retire from business per
sonally.
The company was originally
operated by Thos. Gilbert and Thos.
DeWolf under the name of Thos.
Gilbert and Co., which also published
the Daily Sun. Mr. Gilbert bought
the interest of Mr. DeWolf in 1873.
On January 1, 1874, the Daily Sun

of the accident was that of a man
drunk.
Albert Peed, employe of the City
service station and W. C. Eushin,
who operates a filling station two
miles out of town, testified the
legislator did not appear to have
been drinking.
Peed said he sold Taunton gasoline
about 20 minutes before the crash.
“I talked with Mr. Taunton while i
serviced his car and saw him get out
and in his car during the time and
saw no indication of his being drunk
or out of the ordinary,” Peed said.
“Neither did I see or smell any
whisky about him.”
Bushin said the representative
bought a cold drink at his place and
he had “every appearance of a sober
man,”
A. E. Locke, who said ne was dis
tantly related to the defendant,
ported he did not seem to have been
drinking, but "did appear very ner
vous and excited.
Questioned about profanity, the
witness testified threats of a patrol
man to lock up Taunton “provoked
the remarks.”
Willard Standridge reported he
also did not detect the odor of whis
ky. He said the representative
drove ahead of him to town and his
driving was that of an ordinary
driver.
Mr. Taunton in an unsworn state
ment before the jury said “no one
accused me of being drunk whatso-
eer” at the time of the accident.
Court adjourned for the term fol
