DRIVEN TO SUICIDE.
Georgetown Boarding House Kecpe
Put Bullet Through His Brain.

A dispatch from Georgetown. says
Samuel NJ. Thompkins, As years of
age, committed suicide Thursday
morning at $3.50 o'clock by blowing
out his brains with a 32 calibre re-
volver. Mr.. Thompkins kept a
boarding house on the corner of
Prince and King. streets; he had a
wife and two children. 4 daughter Of
II and son 12 years of age.
Thompkins came to Georgetown
about one year ago from Enterprise,
q small village on the Waccamaw
River, and previous to his residence
there he had worked very acceptably
in the store of Messys. Burroughs
& Collins. at Conway, and had many
friends at that place, and in Horny
County. He was reared from boy
In Conway by Mr.. w. R. Lewis, who
married an elder sister, and who
gave him the benefit OF good COM
mon school education. But untowed
circumstances followed the young
man into later life, his health gave
way and he has suffered recently
from dependency. For the past six
months he has been out Of steady or
remunerutive employment. and that
fact seemed to prey upon his mind.
After waiting upon his guests at
the table Thursday morning he step
ped in an adjoining room, when the
inmates OF the house were startled by
a pistol shot. Rushing to the apart
ment from whence the sound pro-
cceded Thonlpkins was found lying
upon the floor with a bullet hole in
his head just above the right ear.
