Takes A11 Overdose of Morphine, and
Never Recovers from *{s Effects.
Dr. A. IT. Reid, a demist who
came to Eastman several months
ago from Macon, swallowed an
overdose of morphine about 1 I
o’clock on Sunday afternoon last,
from the effect of which lie died
Wednesdav afternoon at 6 :d 0
o’clock.
Dr. Retd was boarding at the
Moore House, and on Sunday
morning requested that if he did
not come down to dinner, for no
one to bother him. He did not
appear for dinner, and at Slipper
time he had still not left his room.
Mr. Moore then decided to see
what was the. matter, and ou en¬
tering his room, found him in an
unconcious condition. A physi¬
cian was summoned, and by 11
o’clock Dr. Reid had sufficiently
revived to con verse with his friends
and walk about the house. He
stated that he took six grains of
morphine in the afternoon.
Several gentlemen sat up with
him for some time, and then sup¬
posing that he was alright, left
him to retire. But Monday morn¬
ing when visited again he was
found in a much worse condition
than on the previous night, and it
is supposed that he took still an¬
other dose of the deadly drug af¬
ter he was left in his room the
night before. A number of citi¬
zens worked with him all day
Monday and did everything in
their power to keep him alive.
He became so much revived that
great hopes were entertained for
his recovery, but on Wednesday
other complications arose, and Ins
death resulted as stated above.
Mr. John Vaughn, of Lumber
City, a son-in-law, and Mr. Chas.
Reid, of Macon, a son of Dr. Rei I,
arrived Monday, and remained
until the doctor passed away.
The remains were carried to
Macon, Ga.. for interrment.
Dr. Hoed had been dissipated
for some time, and this, in con¬
nection with domestic troubles, is
supposed to have been the cause
of his rash deed. He was of a
social, pleasant disposition, and
was personally well liked by his
acquaintances. -
