PAID THE DEBT WITH DEATH
George Smith Preferred Death to Finan
cial Embarrassments Which
Threatened Dim.
BULLET THROUGH HIS HEART.
Sought Out a Quilt Spot liy tho itlver *•
• tile Plnce for tlte Solf-Murder—Ho
Left Parting Ble.sngei to
Ilia KrJ.nUi,
I George Smith, one of tflio boat known
bind moHB Oruatiwonthy negroes of Mo
tion. -committed suicide night before last
by retiring lo a quiet spot across, the
river in East Maocm and sending a
bullet ithrough his burnt.
His body, rigid In death, ira« found
oarty yesterday mb-tmlng iby Park Keep
er JomxS Rooney, and he inun«Ut-iIte4y
reported Ohe matter ait police headquar
ters.
Smith was so well known throughout
the city os a veteran matil carrier that
n large crowd of both white and col
ored people soon gathered at the spot,
jiklt beyond the Central railroad cul
vert to Bast Macon, and near the river
bank. Mr. Rooney bod discovered the
body foam a position on the orpostte
side of the river and crossed over to
Where It lay streadhed face up, upon the
grassy bank of the river.
By the dead mam’s side lay the deadly
weapon, a 32-oalfbur pistol, that told the
Late of Uhe tragedy oven before the
crowd had advanced suffitfonUy near
to note the olotited blood upon his
b rcai.a tlhiait completely covered the bul
let-hole.
An investigation Of the wound Showed
ithoit the ball had entered Just below the
left nipple, leaving no doubt as to the
BUddenmess of death or tho deliberation
of the aot. (His right band half daeped
(the weapon to his rigid grasp. Only one
Chamber of the pistol bod been emp-
' tle-1. making it further evident that the
man was relieved of tho trouble of a
neoand attack upon his life,
i while some ofthe party were examin
ing the wound, others were attracted
by three smufl pieces off noli? roper ly
ing near by. . A glance at them proved
them to bo the parttatg message of tho
Butefde. Following are litoral copies of
the Idttens:
| “To W. H. Young: You have always
been a good friend of mine ever since
we have been working together It 1
should happen bo fall off before I see
you I wish you and tbfi boys would give
cue a little lift If I should (an be the
wayside. Your friend,
"George Smffth.”
“To Sam IWnfbro: I want you to
help my folks as much us you can until
they get a start. If you can’t help
them here, you might' take them sx>
Atlanta with you. They would soon
pay you back ell that you will spend
on them. I ask you this because I
know you win do what you can. Your
Nephew. George Smith.”
The following cote was addressed tto
6. iA. Lockhart, captain of the Lin
coln (vuaids, of which organization
Smith was a charter membar:
To capt. 8. A. Lbckhart: If I
should pas suway before seeing you.
A; is my vfJU Cxt: you dike charge of
my body and put It aramy. I want the
oompany ito -bury mo. Just put me
away decently. Captain, I hope you
will attend to Uhls. You know that I
Wave U'lw.tys stood to your back. Your
oM private, George Smith."
Little time wos lost In having Coro
ner Knight notlHed of the case. In the
meantime, -tho body was taken Into
the city to await an inquest. Tihe coro
ner could not be found Imhnedteitely,
and it was several hours after tho
disco very of the body before he ar
rived arid empanelled a Jury to Inquire
Into the ease. There was very little
testimony (halt had any dlreot bearing
on -the cause of Smith’s deaKh, but the
evidence given in by those from the
scene of the tragedy was oonllrmed
by it number of others who are sup
posed to bave been the last to see
Smith alive. _ .
ike Harris said ho had seen Smith
on the previous evening In Bast Ma
con, oomitog iowtiird the river bridge.
This was betlween 4 and 5 o’clock.
Smith ft*d he wus going to kill him
self, and turned oft In the direction
of Ruan's brick yard.
George Smith met him In froo-t of
Frank Thorpe's store on Main street.
Bast -Macon, about tho time named by
the other witness. He shook hands
with deceased, who B.lld he was hunt
ing George Harris’ rhoo store.
Henry Collier saw Smith going to
wards Runa’s brick yard about dark.
In accordance with tho above testi
mony the Jury rendered a verdict us
follows:
"We. tho Jurors .upon our oath say
that Georgo Smith, deceased, came to
his death by a pistol Bhot wound, 82-
callbre, by his own hand, to tho beat of
our knowledge and belief.
"Thomas Battle, W. A. Little, J. D.
Amason, 13. J. Rooney, A. J. Baratta,
William Klrkaey.”
After tho inquest tho body was removed
to tho family homo on Madison street.
WEIGHED DOWN BY DEBT.
Tho causo of Smith's rash act was un
doubtedly serious financial embarrass
ment He was known to bo tboroughly
honest In all his Intents, but ho had fall
en hopelessly Into debt. It Is said his
creditors were relentless In thoir perse
cution of him, though ho strove con
stantly to keep above board. He Is said
to havo been a negro of very unusual
personal and family pride, and those who
knew him Intimately had this verified In
his bearing. He had a very nice home
on Madison street, near the corner of
Jefferson, and always, above all else, pro
vided well fur bis family.
Smith was employed In the Macon post-
office fourteen years ago under Postmas
ter Glover’s administration and has serv
ed la that capacity uninterruptedly ever
since. He was highly esteemed by every
body on his route and well thought of
generally by tho best citizens of Macon.
Ho was '42 years old and leaves a wife
and three children.
His funeral will occur this afternoon
at 2 o’clock from the A. M. E. enreh.
Ho will be burled with military honors.
HE WANTED POISON.
It has been learned that Smith r-rde
. several unsuccessful attempts to r.curo
poison from the College Hill Pharmacy
Friday afternoon. He made, three dif
ferent applications to the I nix clerk Hero
for strychnine, saying lio wanted It to
kill rats. Tho clerk refused to sell him
tho poison, but offered 1.1m ‘‘Rough cn
Rats,” but he didn’t want that.
China closets, odd shn-pod and pretty.
Secretaries in artfstto shapes per
fectly beautiful.
Ladies' desks in most eUborate de
signs known. ;
Tables, inlaid and exquisite in de
sign.
Rockers, elegant patterns and very
comfortable.
