SUICIDE AMONG DOCTORS.
Why 1t Is More Common Than In Other
Professions.

Why 1t Is More Common Than In Other
Professions.
Statistics show that the medical profes.
sion is more prone to suicide than any
other. During the last three years tho
number of suicides occurring among ply
sicians has been, respectively, 40, SO and
AZ per annum, an average Of nearly to
1000, or, as tho death rate among the ply
sicians Is about rs to 1000, nearly one
fiftieth of all tho deaths in the profession
have been by suicide. 1t has been suggest
ed that an explanation of this tendency
may be found in the development of NOR
bid fanccs In the mind of % DOCTOR on nc
count of his constant association with the
sick and dying, or of an actual indiffcr-
ence to death, or because he has the requi-
site knowledge of how to die painlessly and
conveniently.
medical journal dissents from all
these views and holds that the leading
factor Is the accessibility of poisonous
drugs, which arc almost invariably used.
Suicide is largely n matter of insane i'm
pulse. Imagine II man fatigued in body
and depressed in spirits-as tho doctor
very often is-swayed by IN ovcrwhclm.

which to explain his desire for poison. -

controversy over Parker's identity had
oeeh raging for year, there was much in

"Wo consent" cried the counsel for tho
prisoner.
OH cano Parker's boots, and his feet
were put OH the counsels' table, where tho
jury could examine them thoroughly.
There was no sign of n scar on them. Tho
jury acquitted tho prisoner without lcav-
ing their seats, but tho Haverstrnw folks
went away still convinced that no was
Hong, and had got rid of the scar by
means of legcrdcmain.
Parker lived many years In tho city of
New York after this, says the Brooklyn
Citizen, but never did no hear anything
further about his mysterious double, who
had so nearly brought about his imprison-
ment.

HER FIRST EFFORT.

She Had Dropped Into Poetry, but Her
Poem Was Not Understood.
1t was the first poem the young lady
had been brave enough to offer to the
paper, and she brought it in person.
She took it into the business Office by
mistake.
The young lady handed her poem to
the advertising manager, and he count
ed the words i'll it, tapping his pencil
upon each ono as he read it. 1t ran this
way:
THE LAST DAY.
AS the sun sank to rest that evening
All my hopes turned to ashes and dust
The future will bring mo but grievinR
For him who has broken his trust.
And the day that has gone shall be ever
The last that I over will know
or joy and of loving forever
And tho future be cloudcd with woe.
"That's a dandy" said the advertis-
ing manager, land it ought to get him
back sure. Let's see-63 words. That'll
be Sill 10 for one insertion Will that be
enough?"
Why" said the young lady, st
hadn't thought of fixing n price. What
ever you think is right will do. Do you
think it is worth it?"
"Oh. yes, miss; it's low rate. Well

better add your address so the party

you. Quite pet with you, wasn't he?"
STRIP said tho young lady.
Excuse me; 1 supposed he was.
What color was he?'
II supposed editors were gentlemen, ;"
said the young lady. Excuse me for
the mistake 1 made" and she went out

The Spartanburr Herald uiyC

The Spartanburg Herald gives an ac-
count of q raid in SNurtanburg which
If true Is enough to make tho blood of
every lover OF liberty boil.
1t Is reported that the constablcs
went into a hotel, broke down doors
and smashed up things generally bot
found nothing. They went into store
by breaking open windows, and then
broke open boxes and smashed up
crockery and glass ware and all in the
name OF law, but found no whiskey.
Two or three OF them were convicted
at the last term OF court of mansluugh-
ter and sentence Is now suspended
awaiting appeal.
Is it any wonder self-respectiag and
liberty loving people should oppose Il
law that requires such methods to en-
force it and such men are to be kept in
Office to enforce it. A body OF armed
men may at any time enter a private
house on suspicion and submit the own
er to the most outrageous indignities
And NIL under the guise OF law and the
pretext that 1t Is for the good morals
OF the State. Away with such rot.
