UNKNOWN MAN
COMMITS SUICIDE
Locked in City Prison, Ends Life With
Razor Which Officers’ Search Failed to
Find When Arrested.
BYRD LOVETT BUYS
BROOKS’ SPRINGS.
THE COUNTY FAIR.
HAN WAS THOUGHT TO BE DEMENTED
Last Friday night a white man was found acting mysteriously near the
home of Mrs. Wicker on the Tennille road and Officer Seales was called
upon to make an arrest, which he did. In response to the officer’s inqui
ries the man replied in unintelligable answers, but asked as to why he
was taken into custnday and about a trial. lie gave his residence as
Washington City, Boston aijd Savannah nt different times and his name
as Edward Welch, this name and a Boston address being written in a
■dear, plain handwriting in pencil in a memorandum book carried in his
pocket, which indicated a training in youth for a useful life. There was
no other writing in the book except what seemed to have been a
record of time at work recently.
There was strong circumstances which indicated that the man’s mind
had become unbalanced, though some advanco the theory that he may
have been wanted for some desperate crime and preferred death to fac
ing the charge. But as there is no proof of the latter view and there aro
some circumstances strongly pointing to a disordered mind, this proba
bly caused the rash act.
In some far away home there may be and doubtless are, those who love
the wanderer and the suicide. We can not say, but we prefer to believe
that the dead man’s act was committed while temporarily insane, caused
it may be, by despondency or posssibly by the remorse of finding himself
locked in prison for idling and loitering among strangers, without money
and without friends—and without hope.

News was given out yesterday that
Mr. Byrd B. Lovett. Jr.,of thiscity, had
purchased Brooks’ springs, Washington
county’s famous resort and that im
provements would be begun there Im
mediately. The value of the Brooks,
spring water has long been recognised
but sufficient accomodations could not
be obtained for the large crowds who
would visit the springs In summer and it
will be gratifying news to our people
generally that Mr. Lovett will build a
sufficient number of cot.tnges to accom
modate the people as well as a suitable
hotel for the general public.
Washington’s Delegation
Off To Atlanta.
lion. L. A. Graybill, senator from
this district, Hon. 0. I. Duggan and
Hon. J.Frank Walker, Representatives
from Washington county went up to
Atlanta Tuesday to be present at the
meeting of the Generul Assembly, yes
terday.
No'county in Georgia is represented
by a delegation held in higher esteem
by the people and all of our citizens
feel justly proud of our delegation.
Senator Graybill is not a candidate
for any office, but his strength in the
county is recognized by every one to be
almost irresistnble.
Messrs. Duggan and Walker will both
be returned to the legislature next term
without opposition.
The County Fair Association
will meet next Tuesday and actual
work will be begun on the Fair
Grounds and park! This does not
mean that any efforts will be
abandoned to got up more money
for the Enterprise, but it just
means that the actual work will
soon be under way.
The officers have been some
what interested in a battle with
“General Green” at home of late
and the parties interested in San-
dersville have been busy talking
about w'mt a nice Clmutnuqau we
had and not so much active work
has boon done, but every time we
seeanyoftho committees we are
reminded that the Fair will b 0
held as scheduled and that no
fear is entertained but that the
park will be a reality soon and
that generous citizens oftho coun
ty are rapidly coming to the sup
port of the movement.
