and that he would be back
in the afternoon with the money
81 hope you will get it," or words
to that effect, was about all that
Mr.. Ashe had to say !; but none
of the gentlemen suspicioned
anything to warrant fear of the
tragedy that followed. On ac-
count Of the death of Mr.. Ashe,
of course, the proposed trip was
abandoned.
Mr.. John r. Ashe was a native
of York county, having been born
near McConnsllsvills in 1856.
With but a limited literary edu-
cation, he completed a business
course in Baltimore college,
and, in 1876, commenced work
for the firm of Clark Bros, in
Yorkvilie, for So a week. He
remained with Messrs. Clark
Bros. six years, the latter portion
Of The time as working partner,
and in 1882 went into business
for himself. He remained in
business in Yorkville until about
1889, when he removed to Ker-
shaw, where he prospered until
about 1896, when he removed to
| Yorkville and started the move
ment which resulted in the or
ganization of the York Cotton
! Mills company. He subscribed
10000 of the original capital
stock of 100000, and afterward,
| as the capital stock of the mill
was increased to $3.50, 900, became
the owner Of $4,000 worth. He
continued the moving spirit of
the enterprise from the begin
ming up to the time Of his death,
and during the last few years
Of his life has been virtually sole
manager, consulting his directors,
as body, only at rare intervals,
He was a business man Of un-
usual boldness and of unbuuuded
ambition. He wAs very sensi.
tive Of criticism, and many OF
his closest friends are of the
opinion thLtlt was this fact that
impelled him on to 5elf.d 8truc
tion-the loss Of prestiga that
would result from having allowed
himself to get INTO difficulties
that he could not overcome. Mr.
Ashe was twice married, and
leaves nine children--three by
his first wife and six by his
second. His second wife sur.
wives him. All of the children
are at home except Messrs. John
and Jeffreys, who are cadets al
the Citadel academy. They were
communicated with by telegraph
yesterday and will probably
arrive in Yorkville today.

money, under the terms of the
contract with the warehouse peo-
pie, belonged to them, and its
diversion had been authorized.
Then again, there was note of
$1,000 falling due during the
preeent month, and although the
books of the company showed
assets to the amount OF $250,00O,
there was no money on hand
with which to meet pressing
needs.
All this Mr. Ashe explained to
the directors, and he showed them
how the corporation was in ur,
gent need of about $4,000, which
was only to be obtained, under
the circumstances, through their
endorsement as individuals of q
joint note. 1t was his plan to
take up this note at the earliest
possible moment with bonds of
the mill, to be issued as soon as
the necessary arrangements could
be perfected. Several of the di
rectors agreed to sign the pro
posed note, putting their mill
stock behind it as collateral SO.
curity; but others refused, and
the plan fell through. Almost
dazed before, Mr. Ashe now gave
up the struggle and took his bed
in state Of nervous prostration.
Daring Sunday and Monday,
Mr.. ashe was first up and then
down. Quite a number of sym
pathizing friends, who realized
his unfortunate condition, called
upon him and tried to persuade
him that the situation was not
nearly 80 bad as he thought; but
they were unable to make any
impression upon him. 1t devsl
oped that he had not had an hour
of natural sleep for nearly two
weeks. Unknown to his friends
and business colleagues, he had
brooded and thought over the
pending trouble until his mind
had become unbalanced, and he
was impressed by nothing that
was said to him. He insisted
thai ne had done all that was
possible and told his friends not
to count upon him any further a;
but to go ahead with whatever
they thought best and it would
have his approval.
The reporter called upon Mr..
Ashe Monday night, and found
him in bed. The conversation
was confined principally to the
mental and physical condition OF
the sufferer. 1t appeared that
the only two things that the un
fortunate man realized positively
were the facts that he was in
serious financial trouble and that
he was mentally unbalanced. He
was glad TO have company.
During a minute or two, he could
talk clearly and comprehensively
enough. Then he would have
trouble in completing his sen.
tencos. He showed no signs OF
insanity; but only of alteration.
In all that he attempted to say
he was perfectly rational, and ex.
cept from his halting speech oc.
casionally there was no noticeable
popularity in his condition. 81
