seph Gray. was hunting for him to tell
him that he had Just made a big COM
mission In a deal he and Gray were In
terested in.
Mr.. Gray IL confident tina the tragedy
would never have occurred had he been
able to find Radcliffe or get in commu-
nication with him. A long period Of
slack business lad depressed the broker
and worry over his finances furnished
the motive for his suicide.
The letter he wrote to Mrs. Radcliffe
read a. follows:

Until six months ago Mr.. Radcline's
business prospered. but in the duh

him from a 1ovial and hearty Ssfhpanion

Broker Gray saw him as late as f.
o'clock yesterday afternoon. about two
hours before he got word that the dea.
he and Radcliffe were interested in had
one through. Radcliffe told Gray tina
he was going to his ONCE TO write q
letter and then go home. Gray tried tc
reach him at his home in the evening
but failed. II never occurred to him
that the broker might be still in hi,
ONCE.
Radcliffe killed himself while stttins
IN a low leather chair. He had spreac
his fur coat over his knees and wount
a mufner about his throat. A surgeon
who was called by the %Janitor. wh'
found the suicide. said that Radcliffe
had been dead at least since midnight.

W. B. Wilson Of Corinth.

In the announcement column OF this
issue will be found the name Of Will b.
Wilson of Corinth, who is candidate
for railroad commissioner for the north
ern district of Mississippi. A splendid
testimonial of the high esteem in which
Mr.. Wilson is held by his neighbors and
the citizens of his county, is clearly
portrayed by the honors they have be-
slowed on him. He has been citizen
of Alcorn county for thirty-five years,
and during this period has served the
county as sheriff for twelve years,
which position he now holds. Mr.. Will
son is also president of the Alcorn
County Fair Association and president
of the Union Mill and Warehouse Co.,
of his city. He stands for justice,
equity and good service and it is upon
this platform that he is soliciting the
support of the voters of this district.
That whoever wins the race for this
Office must beat Mr.. Wilson in the sec
ond primary, is acknowledged by nearly
all of his opponents.
