took her baggage, a large and small
grip, with her. This was the last Per
friends saw of her until she was seen
at the Sanitarium with a bullet In her
breast.
Monday little is known of Miss
Schweitzer’s actions. She went to
Thompson’s transfer establishment, at
Oglethorpe lane and Whitaker street
and left her two grips. This w.as about
] o’clock in the afternoon. She stat
ed she wanted to store them for a
few days. When asked if she desired
to leave an address, where they should
bs sent, she replied in the negative
and stated she would call for them
when she wanted them.
In these two grips there were sev
eral pieces of jewelry, ladies clothing
and the usual articles carried by a
lady on a trip.
Had Photo Neeative Broken.
During her visit here /in the early
fall Miss Schwltzer had some pictures
taken at Hoffman’s art studio on Bull
street. Shortly after noon on Tuesd'ay
she went to the studio and asked that
the picture, which had been on exhi
bition in the window on the street, be
destroyed, and that the negative also
be broken. She then left the studio,
and it is presumed went directly to
Thunderbolt. Her actions at the studio
were not such as to excite suspicion
that she was actuated by any unusual
motive.
According to a statement mode by
Miss Schweitzer yesterday she intended
shooting herself, having arrived
at this determination before she
left Chicago. She said she
bought the revolver, which was
found tightly grasped in her hand
when she was discovered on the river
bank, in Chicago, and came to Savan
nah that she might have a quiet place
to perform self destruction.
She further gave the information
that she had sent her trunk to New
York to her brother just before leaving
Chicago. In the grjps were just what
she actually needed to make the trip
to Savannah.
Longed for Her Mother.
When asked what she did with the
hand satchel with which she was seen
at the Casino she did not remember.
It is generally believed she threw this
into the river. She said she had con
templated drowning herself at one
time, but feared her body would not
be recovered from the water and
therefore would not be given proper
burial.
Friends of the young woman who
might have entertained a desire: to
press her regarding her motive for
desiring self destruction, were restrain
ed by the indications of suffering and
her evident disinclination to discuss
this feature. .
Grief over the death of her mother
was, it is believed, an element in the
motive > for her r<ufh suet; On
ihis point she did not speak,
and was not questioned. She
was apparently well supplied with
money on her former visit to savan
nah, but It is hdt know now just what
her circumstances were when She ar
rived Saturday.
That Miss Schweitzer of highly de
votional nature is evidenced in the
prayer which she had concealedin her

(Authorized translation from Hebrew
of prayer.)
Hear, O Israel! the Lord our God
is one God. Blessed the name of the
glory of His kingdom for evermore.
And thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thine heart, and with
all thy soul, and with all thy might,
and these words which I command
thee this day shall be In thine heart.
And thou shalt teach them diligent
ly unto thy children and shalt talk
of them when thou sittest In thine
house, and when thou liest down, and
"hen thou rlsest up. And thou shalt
bind them for a sign upon thine hand,
and they shall be frontlets between
thine eyes. And thou shalt write them
upon the door posts of thy house, and
on thy gates.
And it shall come to pass, if he shall
harken diligently unto my command
ment, which I command you this day,
to love the Lord your God, and to
serve Him with all your heart and with
all your soul. That I will give you
the rain of your land In its due sea
son. the first rain and the latter rain,
that thou mayest gather in thy corn,
thy wine, and thine oil. And I will
send grass In thy fields for thy cattle
that thou mayest eat and be full. Take
heed to yourselves that your heart be
not deceived, and ye turn aside and
serve other gods, and worship them.
And then the Lord’s wrath be kindled
against you. and He shut up the heav
en, that there be no rain, and that
the land yield not her fruit; and lest
ye perish quickly from off the good
land which the Lord glveth you. There
f"re shall ye lay up these my words in
your heart and In your soul, and bind
'bem f or a pig,, U pon your hand, that
iney may be as frontlets between your
‘Vf*. And ye shall teach them your
‘ blldren, speaking of them, when thou
su test in thine house, and when thy
waiketh by the way, and when thou
itest down, and when thou rlsest up.
And thou shalt write them upon th
r of thine house, and upon
tty gates. That your days may be
multiplied, and the days of your chll
'"en, in the land which the Lord swore
Jii 1 a fathers to give them, as
days of heaven upon the earth,

shown around the cemetery, and that
she desired to purchase a lot.
Her agitation was so perceptible
when she was asked for whom she
wished to purchase the lot that Mr.
Clements declined to sell her one. She
went with him through the cemetery,
and on arriving at one spot said there
was where she desired to be buried.
Those who were in contact with
Miss Schweitzer during former visits
noticed that at times she appeared un
usually despondent and sad. She ap
parently grieved much over the death
of her mother, which occured some
time during the summer.

GUBERNATORIAL.
Clinch County News: We realize
that it is yet a little early to begin
the campaign for Governor of Georgia,
to be elected in 1906. but already sev
eral candidates are in the field, and
we may express now, as later, our
choice ot candidates for this great of
fice.
When we have advocated a man in
a past campaign who. In every way,
seemed best suited to fill this high
office, and who, In our opinion, is the
best representative of our people, and
that man is again a candidate, we
would naturally be among his advo
cates. But this is not the only reason
why we will give our support to Hon.
J. H. Estlll. He appears to us again
the same man as before, with the
same qualities, and better known
throughout the state.
Coll Estill is not a politician, never
has been one. and doesn’t belong to
the “ring” of the state politicians. His
qualifications do not lie In the fact that
he has held office ever since he could
vote, for he has been before the peo
ple but few times. He will not receive
the support of the politicians, and does
not expect it.
Col. Estill appears to us as one of
the purest types of a citizen. He is
honest in the strictest sense, public
spirited, and thoroughly business. He
started as a boy in a printing office,
at the very bottom, and now he is
president of this great institution, the
Savannah Morning News, and one of
the most successful business men in
the state. He is the kind of man for
its executive head that Georgia needs.
We need a Governor who is a man-
ager, and knows more of life than
offieeholding. Our ship of state has
drifted long enough. Let’s put some
body at its helm who can manage it.
We have tried small men and politi
cians and have found Them wanting.
Let’s put a big man in office. J. H.
Estill measures up to the standard,
and is in every way capable. He is a
South Georgia man, and we should
have enough sectional pride to wish
to have him Governor, If for no other
reason.
Col. Estill has done a great work
for South Georgia and the entire state.
He has lost no opportunity to aid In
Its upbuilding and advancement. His
great paper has always stood for the
South and its people, and the interest
of Georgia has always been upper
most In his mind. Indeed, we would
be ungrateful not to remember these
things, and, remembering them, we
must support for next Governor Hon.
J. H. Estill.
