HIS ATTEMPT SUCCESSFUL.
Tom Carroll Dies From an Overdose
of Morphine.

Tom Carroll, the white man who was
found Friday afternoon in Green
wood cemetery, suffering from the eff
ft cts of an overdose OF morphine, died
Saturday morning ats o CLOCK Ut the city
nall, where he had been removed The
facts connected with the affair, as as
certained from a reliable source, are as
follows:
thursday Carroll came from Mt.
Pleasant and went TO his fathers house
on John Lotions place In the Iron
Bridge nelghDorhood, and worked on the
farm the balance OF the day. His ac-
tons that day showed that he was evil
IDENTIFY contemplating suicide. After
quIJLIng work his Iatner noticed him
wheCung his knife ON fence rail, and
several times he grasped his throat, as
though to cut it, lie also mentioned TO
his father that he wanted some NOR
phine, but the father had no idea what
he wanted with it.
That night, or the next m Irning he
left the farm, and the next heard OF him
he was seen by woman north of town.
lie had package OF morphine in his
hand, properly wrapped with the sign of
the skull and cross bones on the wrap
per. lie stated to the woman that he
had % cents worth of the drug, and was
going to take it for pain in his heart.
lie appeared not TO be under the intlu-
ence OF it at that time.
lie was next seen in the neighborhood
of Dooley's grocery on North Garden
street about II O'Clock. He wa walk
i,,rr Ia, bn
asked il he might stop and lie down at
the store, saying that he was feeling
sleepy. Thinking that Carroll was
drunk, the party addressed told him to
90 up in the corner of the graveyard,
where it was cool and shady. Carroll
did So and in passing over the steps lead.
ing into the graveyard fell. 1t appears
that ne lost consciousness then, and lay
in the position in which he fell until he
was found about two hours later. Some
laborers who were at work on the street
noticed him in the graveyard, and sup
posing him to be drunk, notified Officer
{. +. Dodson.
Officer Dodson found him unconscious
and breathing heavily, and summoned a
physician. The usual means were re-
sorted to to restore him, and he lied
in a measure and appeared to get better
until about 7 p. M, when he began to
sink. He was only kept alive during
the night by artificial respiration and
the use of an electric battery. His
circulation began to fail at 7 M. and
he died without ever regalning con.
seriousness.
1t is estimated that Carroll took about
Il or 10 grains of morphine His men
tai faculties seem to have been disturbed
since the cyclone last November, when
his wife was killed and he was injured.

Be glad you're poor; the clothes you

Won't look no worse for mother tear.
Be thankful that your good corn cake
Will never give you pain or ache.
Be glad you're poor, and save your hairs
From wearing off with business cares,
And fearing banks are going to bust,
And wondering who you dare to trust.
Don't always worry bout your lot;
Give thanks for what you haven't got,
And be content with what you get,
And let the wealthy fume and fret.
Then when financial billiards come,
And banks go tumbling round like fun,
And stocks and bonds go galley vest
just thank your stars you don't invest.
Go prop your legs up at the store
And smoke-and then be glad you're

A BRUTAL ATTACK.
Unknown Assailant Severely Wounds
a Phosphate Miner.


Phosphate Miner.
Mt. PLEASANT, Tenn, May 13.-
A great deal of excitement has been
prevailing here to-day oyer cow
ardly attempt at murder Saturday
night upon the person of Jeff
Earpps, phosphate miner at the
plant of the Tennessee Phosphate
Company, near this city. About
O'Clock Saturday night Mr.. Earpps,
who had been in Mt. Pleasant buy
ing provisions, started for his home
near Friersontown, suburb of this
city. When within about 400 yards
of his home, as he was passing
through the section inhabited By
negro miners, he was struck down
by an unknown assailant and almost
dubbed to death. 1t is not known
what sort of weapon was used, but it
was evidently heavy piece of iron
or steel. Two blows were delivered
on the back of the head and one on
the left side just above the temple.
Mr.. EArppj managed to stagger
near enough to his home TO attract
the attention of his family 10y his
cries. His wife and daughter went
in search of him and found him in
an unconscious condition about 100
yards away, lying in pool of blood.
They carried him home and medi
cal assistance was hastily summond.
DR.. j. 5. Hill thinks the chances
are all against recovery, but Earpps
is still living at this writing.
Will Bowen, negro miner, was
arrested on suspicion, phosphate
fork covered with blood, being found
in his shack. He was carried 10
Columbia and placed in jail.

CARS FOR THE CROWDS.

Something should be done by the To-
peka Street Railway company to pro-
vide adequate accommodations for the
early morning and late afternoon pas
sengers.
If a man pays for a seat in a car he
IS entitled to the seat. Yet all men are
looked upon as hogs who do not peace
fully surrender their seats to women
passengers who would otherwise be
obliged to stand. Unborn American
courtesy and respect for women makes
It natural for men to do this. But 1t Is
unjust for the street car company to
demand such sacrifice from a passen-
ger who has paid for seat
It is doubly unjust that a hard work.
ing Santa Fe shopman, or one of the
500 wooden mill employees of the city.
should be obliged to give up his seat
to a we'll dressed female shopper. whose
silks and satins rustic as she stands in
front of the tired-out workman and
glares at him suggestively. Nine times
out of ten the glare proves effective.
The dainty creature drops into the
workman's seat without any token of
gratitude or at best a matter-of-fact
bow
Everyone who has occasion to come
down town between and in the
morning, or to return about at night
knows the invariably crowded condi-.
tions of the cars. especially upon GER
tain lines leading to those parts OF
town where the working people live.
The street car company should provide
trailers on these crowded lines. 1t
should not try to haul twice as many
people on car as the car was built to
hold. Every passenger is entitled to a
seat
The o'clock morning and evening
cars on nearly all the lines in the city
should carry trailers. 1t Is no more
than simple justice to the people who
ride on the cars, and it will increase the
patronage of the cars if the tired-out
business man and laborer knows that
he can get into a car. and sit down
while on his way home. The patronage
of the car company is increasing, and
everybody is glad of it But the com
pany should increase it's facilities. and
give people what they pay for.
