Ex-SEN. WALSH DEAD
FOR MANY YEARS PROMINENT IN SOUTH
ERIN POLITICS AND JOURNALISM.
Had Been III for Three Months Of Nervous Pros
tralion and his Demise was MOI Unfx-
psc!ed. Mayor of Augus'a.

Augusta Ga. March 19.-Hon. , at
rick Walsh, ex-senator. and Mayor of
Augusta. died mt his residence this morn
ing, after three months illness.of nervous
prostration. There was little hope in ne
community of his recovery, but his oea'h
was not thought to be so near at hand.
Mayor Walsh was one of the most
prominent men in Georgia. and had na-
tional recognition as the earnest cham
pion of Southern development, and as
perhaps the best authority on the ma
terial resources and manufacturing pro
duets of the South.
Mr. Walsh was born in Ireland. Jan
uary j. 1910, but his fathers family
came to America while he was a boy and
settled at Charleston, :. G. At twelve
years of age Patrick Walsh was APP
prcnticed to the Charleston Evening
News and i'll due time became journey
man printer. He came to Augusta in
1862. and has ever since been identified
with the press of the city. for twenty
five years past as editor and proprietor
of the Augusta Chronicle. From 1866
Mr.. Walsh was general Southern agent
Of the Associated Press. until 1892 when
he became manager of tho Southern AS
ISOLATED Press.
In 1870 he became Il member of the
