Suicide.
GIRL HANGS HERSELF.

Lake City, Dec. 12.-Susie Gore, the
15-year-old daughter of Henry Gore.
Of Nineland, y. c., today between 10
and , o'clock deliberately took her
own life by hanging herself. She went
in the barn near the house of her
cousin, where she had been STAYING
for the past five months, placed a
rope over the joist by standing on a
barrel, then around her neck and
jumped off the barrel. 1t is thought
that she could have easily saved her
own life even after she had jumped
had she felt 50 incnHed, as there was
a wall near, to which she could have
easily caught with her hands.
ON the barrel she left "A note, di-
rc,ted 10 her cousin. in which she

tion they should make Of her body.
she also mentioned the name Of the
young man with whom she had been
going recently and it is supposed that
she had been disappointed in a love
affair. There seems to have been no
other possible reason for the rash
act
Her body will be sent to her home
in North Carolina tomorrow for
burial
The verdict Of the coroner's jury
which held an inquest over her body
was that she hanged herself.

y MOST PECULIAR CASE.
Horace Mack. Sentenced 10 Serve Two
Years on the County Chain Gang
Leaves for Parts Unknown.

Considerable interest has ben mani
tested by the public at large in the
case of Horace Mack, a negro of this
county who was tried at the Spring
term Of court in 1908 for stealing
brasses from the a. c. L. yard en-
gines and selling them to Junk deal
ers i'll the city as old brasses. and
found guilty and sentenced to serve O.
sentence on the county chain gang.
1t will be remembered that at the
time he was tried Mack was suffer-
ing from tuberculosis and it was not
expected that he would live longer
than two weeks or a month at most.
Judge c. G. Dantzler, who tried the
case. and Solicitor w. II. Wells. who
prosecuted the case, upon finding the
condition of the negro, both signed a
petition for his pardon. At first
Mack's case was appealed to the Su-
preme Court but the appeal was AL
lowed to drop when the petition for
a pardon was gotten up. All Of the
county officials and a great many of
the prominent citizens from all parts
Of the county signed the petition.
Judge Dantzler in the meantime re-
manded Mack to the custody Of his
mother who had had charge of him
for some time prior to his trial. The
other negro who was tried for the
same offense at the same time and
who received the same sentence, was
set to the chain gang and served out
his sentence. This negro, by name
Nelson Clarkson, was released some
time last spring and he was one of
those who helped the county officials
search for his one time accomplice.
when Governor Ansel was trying 10
find out about him.
Governor Ansel wrote to Supervisor
Pitts about the case and wanted TO
know why Mack had never been sent
to the chain gang to serve his sem

built up for the wine, and much Of the fruit
goes that way. Messrs. Walker do not
cater TO saloons. In fact. they have no

The Walkers are mentioned merely as a

however, have been unusually successful.
They have been in the grape business a

George Washingtons cabbage plants, do

the land in the long ago. he must pay a
high price for IT, because land is land In
this vicinity. But, having obtained the
land. he sets ten acres IN grape vines and
these vines yield him 1900 per acre, which
experts agree, Is a conservative estimate.
Ten acres at $500 per acre is SS,OOO-enough
to more than pay for the land, unless it
