RoYALToN, Mimi, March 24.--James
Chapman, one of the oldest settlers in
this part of the country, attempted sui
eide this morning He locked himself
in a bedroom, and with shotgun and
knife attempted to take his own life.
The family heard the report of the gun
and rushed to the room, but found the
door locked. 1t was some time before
an entrance could be effected. Mr..
Chapman was found lying. on his
face on the floor with an ugly
wound in his left temple and
his throat cut. The knife was
still in his hand. He was pleading pro-
fusely, and unconscious, but not dead.
Medical assistance was at once sum-
moned. He is lying in a critical con-
dition, with little hope of his recovery.
1t appears that he deliberately planned
self-destructIon. The gun. loaded with
No. shot, was placed against his FORE
head, but in reaching for the trigger to
discharge it it was pulled to one side
and the charge. instead of accomplish
ing the object intended, merely
made an ugly wound and fract-
ured the skull slightly. A
pocket knife was then resorted TO and
two deep gasheS cut in the throat. The
Chapman farm is situated about two
miles from this village, and is one of
the finest in this county. The would-be
. suicide is one of the early settlers, hav-
ing moved here thirtyseven years ago.
He is an Englishman by birth, and is
wealthy. For many years he has been
a close student of religious questions,
and it is believed much study has un-
settled his mind. He is seventy-nine
years old, and has wife and family
of three boys. all grown.

Masked Men Commit Atrocities at
CarrOIltOn, Ga.

ATLANTA, Ca, March 24.-Advices
from Carrollton state that band of
masked men last night visited four
houses on the Alabama line and
whipped several people almost to death.
Two women were outraged and several
men brutally beaten. The locality is in
the mountain section. where there are
many moonshiners, The trouble seems
to have grown out of an old feud. Seven
of the eleven men charged with par
tlcipatng in the ontrages have been
caught. Sam Bowen may die from the
beating he received. Mrs. Bowen was
outraged by one of the party. The
trouble seems to be an outgrowth of a
lawsuit between a family named
Bedford and Mrs. White over some
property. Two of the Beufords are un-
der arrest. Mrs. White was one of
those assaulted. The persons arrested
vigorously deny any knowledge OF the
affair. Some of them are prominent
citizens.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-The indi-

the example thus set by England and
change the titles of their ministers to
