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.
