LEXINGTON MAN A SUICIDE.
Prof John D. Farr, Recently Elected
Superintendent of Education,
Takes His Own Life.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Lexington, Sept. 15.-This entire
community was shocked this morning
when ii became known that Prof.
John ID. Farr. Of Chaplin. recently
nominated for county superintendent
Of education, had committed suicide
some time during thc night bv shoot
ing himself in lhc head with shot
gun. Few were willing 10 believe
that one who had just a few weeks
ago been honorcd by the people of
his county would want to take his
own life.
Coroner Clark, who went to Chap
in this morning to hold an inquset,
has just returned. He states that
the only reason assigned for Mr..
Farr's taking his own life was that
he had not been in the best Of health
Tor the last two weeks. He seemed
to brood over the fact that he would
soon have to move to Lexington to
attend to the duties of the office to
which he had just been elected and
that, his daughter being about to
leave for college, his wife would
have to remain alone at her home in
Chaplin. This morning at 4 o'clock he
left the house, went to his barn,
placed a single-barrelled shotgun to
his right temple and blew off the
whole top Of his head.
The burial will take place tomor-
row morning at II o'clock.
Prof. Farr was 41 years of age.
He was a man Of strong and charm
ing personality, seemingly Of sound
mind, and had been prominent in the
affairs of the county for number
Of years. Hc had served two terms
as superintendent Of education and
had been successful teacher. His
family relations to all appearances
were very happy indeed. His family
consisted Of his wife, who was before
her marriage, Miss Ada Frick, daugh-

JUDGE POPE'S ORDER.
Proceedings in Jones Case Said to be
Most Unusual-Lawyers Declare
Nothing Like it Ever Known
In South Carolina Before.

Columbia, Sept. l4.-No decision
Of the State court rendered in long
time has caused more general discus
sion, especially among the members
of the bar, than the order of Chief
Justice Pope staying the trial of w.
l.. Jones III Union. It is said by
lawyers that nothing like it has ever
before been done in this State.
1t will be recalled that Jones, a
wealthy man, was arrested on the
charge Of having killed his wife, who
apparently died from poisoning.
Jones, through his attorneys, applied
to Judge Hydrick for bail and the
application was refused. An appeal
from the decision refusing bail was
made TO the supreme court, and even
this procedure is said to be doubtful,
as the matter Of granting bail is held
to be one that is in the discretion
of the Judge to whom the application
is made. If one circuit Judge refuses
bail another circuit judge may grant
it.
The general sessions court for In
ion opened last week and Il motion
WAS made by the defence 10 continue
the Jones ease. which WAS '"vcrruled
and the day set for the trial. Mean
while application was made to the
chief justice at Newberry for an Or
der staying the trial on the ground
| that the case was before the supreme
court on appeal from the order of
Judge Hydrick.
What is the purpose Of bail? 1t
Is to permit the defendant to 90 at
, liberty until the trial Of his case. IF
he is innocent aud is declared inno-
cent by the jury he then has no use
for bail. If he is guilty and is de-
clarcd guilty by the jury he then has
no use for bail. When tire case
comes to trial the question of the
defendants right to bail is a purely
academic question, and the courts do
not like to pass on academic ques-
tions; in fact; they have more than
once declined to do so.
The theory of the law is that the
right of appeal is for the purpose of
preserving the rights Of defendant.
| The idea in the minds Of the public
is that many times the purpose Of an
appeal is to secure delay in the adj
ministration Of justice.
The supreme court meets in the
fall. The order Of the chief justice
may be taken up early or late in
the term. and meanwhile Jones re-
mains in custody. If the supreme
court decides that Judge Hydrick
was right in refusing bail Jones will
have to remain in Jail until the next
term of court after the decision is
rendered, which term will probably
be III February. IF the supreme court
decides that Judge Hydrick was
wrong Jones may get his liberty I'M
Ill thc next term Of Union county
court. matter Of perhaps three
months. but if he is innocent he
might have bad his liberty in Sctcm-
Der by o"in" 10 trial at that time.
It's Il queer miH-up. and the dccis-
ION Of the supreme court will be
awaited with a great deal Of interest
as If will set a precedent in this
State.

DRIVEN TO SUICIDE BY BLUES
Georgetown Boarding House Keeper
) Puts Bullet Through His Brain.

Georgetown, Sept. 14.-Samuel NJ.
Tompkins, 45 years of age, committed
suicide this morning at $50 o'clock
by blowing out his brains with a 80
calibre revolver. Mr.. Tompkins kept
a boarding house on the corner of
Prince and King streets; he had
wife and two children; a daughter Of
ID and Il son IL years OF age.
Tompkins came to Georgetown
about one year ago from Enterprise,
a small village on the Wacamaw
river, and previous to his residence
there he had worked very acceptably
in the store of Messrs. Burroughs e.
Collins, at Conway, and had many
friends at that place, and in Horny
county. He was reared from boy
i'll Conway by Mr.. w. r. Lewis, who
married an elder sister, and who gave
him the benefit Of good common
school education. But untoward cir
cumstances followed the young man
into later life, his health gave way
and he has suffered. recently from
despondency. For the past six months
he has been out Of steady or remun-
erative employment, and that fact
seemed to prey upon his mind.
After waiting upon his guests at
the table this morning he stepped in
all adjoining room, when the inmates
OF the house were startled by pis-
tol shot. Rushing to the apartment
from whence the sound proceeded,
Tompkins was found lying upon the
floor with a bullet hole in his head
just above the right ear. Physicians
were Immediately summoned, but the
unfortunate man brcathed his last
before their arrival.
The coroner, Mr.. S. A. Parker. held
an inquest this morning, and the jury
of which Mr.. ]. b. Shackclford was
foreman, brought in verdict to the
effect that S. NJ. Tompkins came to
his death by his own hands. The
terrible> deed had evidently been con-
templated for some time, as a letter
to his wife, one to personal friend
and creditor, and one to the local Ma
sonic Lodge asking that it arrange
Tor the shipment Of his body to Con-
way, all neatly and intclligcntly
written, were found in the dead man S
pockets.
In writing to his wife he stated
that she and the children would be
better off without him as he had in
surance in several life insurance COM
panies amounting, it is said, in all to
about $4,000, and portion of this
sum would pay off all his debts. Mr..
Tompkins was member of the or
der of Woodmcn of the World, a
member Of the Masonic Order, Lodge
No. 65, at Conway. Great sympathy
is felt here for the stricken family
of the deceased.
The remains have been taken
charge of by the Masonic Lodge of
this city, and will be taken to Con-
way by a deputation Of its members
in the morning.
