T J, M- MORRIS BUICIDEB-
With * Gun He Blows the Ton of His
Head Off.
Mr. J. M. Morris, a well iodo farm*
er living Are miles from Jackson,
committed suicide yesterday afternoon
by blowing the top of his bead off
w jtb a double Barrel shot gun.
No other particulars of the unfortu
nate affair could be learned last night.
Mr. Morris was a brother of Prof. J.
H. M irris, of Orchard Hill,* and Mr.
A. L. Morris, superintendent of
Spalding county's poor farm.
Prof. Morris was in this city last
night and was seen by a Call report*
er, but he could furnish no additional
information. He said the first he knew
of the killing was through a telephone
message from A. L Motris, telling him
to prepare to join him and go to their
brother’s borne, as he bad just killed
himself.
Prof. Morris was of the opinion that
his brother killed himself while in a
fit of despondency caused by financial
troubles. He had been worried a
great deal for several mouths trying
to settle up an estate. The deceased
was forty years of age and loaves
• wife and two children.
. Outrageous Situation.
The situation in Mississippi is such
that it is no wonder the Washington
Post should have been led into saying:
"We do not recall either in experience
or in reading, a more hideous and re*
volting spectacle than that presented
by the state of Mississippi today.
There are instances of communities
panic stricken by some dreadful visits
tion. There are instances of neighbor
hoods ravaged by an inoessate terror
and their populations abandoning
themselves to a degrading superstition
But tbs spectacle of an entire com
mon wealth, here at the close of the
nineteenth century, reverting to pri
meval conditions, repudiating law,
obliterating government, trampling
humanity and civilization under foot,
forgetting pity, mercy, morals and
Christianity—this spectacle has not
been even approached in the history
of modern times.
“Imagine, if you can, an entire state
relegated to anarchy,lts governmental
machinery destroyed, its chief execu*
tire a fugitive, its offices closed, its
functions paralyzed, its people seized
by a brutal frenzy of terror towns in
arms against one another, villages at
war with their neighbors, every man's
hand against all men, the sick and
helpless left to take care of themselves
and the medical officials of the slate
actually contributing to this carnival
of barbarism by standing up in public
places and shrieking, "Flee, flee ; hide
yourselves, abandon your homes, your
duties, your courage, and your consci
ences!” Only a few days ago Missies*
ippi towns were quarantining them
selves against the wide, wide world.
Fugitives were warned off at the
the shot gun. RsilroaO
trains, if permitted to move at all, had
to go through the state with the care
hermelrically sealed The homeless
and forlorn were huddled like beasts.
A stricken tramp took refuge in a
barn and was burned in a crisp by
those who set fire to his biding place.
Every stranger was a suspect, Every
sick person was a criminal. Now,
with the yellow fever among them—
that bugaboo of ignorance and super*
stition which laughs at cordons and
treats shotguns as so many idle toys—
now Mississippi tells her own people
to become wanderers and refuges; to
go forth and seek the mercy which she
denied to every one, and to brave the
cruel barbarism of which only a few
days ago, they were the most pitiless
exemplars.
"No word of ours can do even par*
tial justice to this frightful, inconceiv*
able situation. No such absolute ex*
tinction of civilisation hgjubccurred in
the century. And alltSis in a state of
whose official representatives last win*
ter proclaimed eheir repudiation of
Federal interference in the matter of
quarantiue, boastfully paraded their
ability to take care of themselves, and
imprudently declared that their eci*
ence, their courage, their experience
and their wisdom were more thaw
equal to any demand that yellow fever
oould make upon them I”

Discovered By a Woman-
Another great discovery has been
made, and that too, by a lady in this
country. "Disease fastened its clutches
upon her and for seven years she with
stood its severest tests, but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three months
she coughed incessantly, and could
not sleep. She finally discovered away
to recovery, by purchasing of us a bot
tle of Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Consumption, and was so much re
lieved on taking first dose, that she
slept all night; and with two bottles,
has been absolutely cured. Her name
is Mrs Luther Lils,” Thus writes W.

GRIFFIN, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 80,1888.
MO DELAY BEYOND DEC- Ist-
This Government Will Insist Ob
Spaniards Leaving Cuba-
Washington,Oct. 19 Reports from
Paris are that the Spanish commis
sioners are attempting to wheedle the
Americano into an agreement to de
clare against their sovereignty over
Cuba, and from Havana of the tem
porising attitude of the evacuation
commisaionera aroused a great deal of
internet in official circles today. The
state department io fully informed of
the progress of ths negotiations and
will allow no deviation of the plan not
to permit sovereignty over Cuba to be
passed upon by the peace commission
until the protocol question is settled,
and then the Spanish commissioners
will bo told in effect that it io none bl
their busineaa whether Cuba remains
under the control of the United States
or its own inbabitanta.
The situation in Havana is of the
greater moment and it haa been de
cided that no delay beyond December
lot will be tolerated. If the Spanish
troops have not evacuated by then the
United States will place troops In
Havans and in all the principal towns.
While it is believed the Spaniards will
recede from their attitude, if they
should offer an armed reaietance, they
must fight the American troops.
There has never been any question
hero as to the statue of municipal and
other Iccsl obligations based upon tbe
Cuban assets. As the proceeds Os the
bonds issued by the municipalitiss
have presumably gone to the benefits
of the localties, it has never been con
tended here for an inalant that these
obligations should be repudiated.
Whatever may be tbe outcome of
tbe negotiations relative to the general
debt, Cuba’s bonds, municipalities snd
such securities will retain their va
lidity.
Tbe proposition allegtd to have
been made yesterday by tbe Spanish
commissioners to surrender to tl&
United States tbe entire Philippine
group rather than that Spain be held
responsible for tbe Cuban debt, did
not take tbe officials here by surprise.
It was recognized immediately as tbe
only other phase of the Spanish effort
to connect the Philippines with Cuba
in some way in tbe negotiations.

A Dog Deserter.
"Maybe you remember Harry, Troop
K’a shepherd dog? Well, people who
saw us drill at the horse show last fall
do, lor the dog took part in the drill
and created quite a email sensation by
tbe way he obeyed the commands
given the men. Harry went to Tampa
and from there to Santiago with tbe
men. He stayed with the troop alter
we landed until the day we got in the
fight on San Juan bill. Then be dis
appeared. Three hours after ws bad
been engaged one of tbe wounded men
from K saw tbe dog back in the creek,
lying in tbe water, where be was pro
tected by a high bank. Overhead tbe
bullets were whistling, and every time
a Shell or shrapnel eame whistling and
hissing by ho crouched lower in the
water. Next day, when fighting was
over, he came back on tbe firing line
within an hour after the fl«g of truce
was seen. If that wa«n’t a case of
deserting in the face of the enemy I
ddn’t know it. When tbe fighting was
resumed again he disappeared and did
not get back until tbe armistice was
declared—St. Louie Globe-Democrat.
