A BOYS SUICIDE IN SURRY.
Lad of Is Shot Himself, Appa-
rently Through Fear of His
Father.
Nj AIM NpwS lOih

Mt. Airy News. 10Th
GephuS Lane. sou OF Mr.. j. d.
Lane OF Rockford Route one,
dead and buried as the result of
a gun shot wound inflicted hy
his own hand. The story goes
that last Monday Mr.. Lame went
To help some of his ncighhorS 10
threSh grain and left his three
little boys To hoe tobacco. The
oldest of the three was only 13
years of age. This little hoy
claimed to be sick and hoed no
tobacco during the day When
his father came home at night
he punished the child for not
working. Tuesday morning the
father went away to help thresh
grain and told the boys again to
hoe the tobacco. Some time af-
ter breakfast Mr.. Lane had oc-
casion to return home and found
that the two least boys were in
the field alone. He asked them
where their older brother was and
they told him that he had gone
TO the house and that he claim
ed that he was not able to work.
The little fellow saw him coming
and got the shot gun and ran be-
and the straw stack and DELHI
erately ended his life by placing
the gun against his breast and
emptying the contents of the
load in his heart. A coroner's
jury found that the boy came to
his death by his own hand. They
also found that the child had not
been beaten in way to make
a report on this part of the sad
affair.
This is one of the most deplor-
able deaths that has been in the
county in many Il day. Mr.. Lane
is possibly a creature Of miStor-
tune in the reputation he has
made in the way he treats his
children. A few terms of court
ago he was tried for cruelty pun
iShing his little daughter. The
jury acquitted him ON the ground
ihat he had done the child no
permanent INJURY, but the airing
of the ease in court was no cred
It to any man. II is b.u lust to
Mr.. Lane TO say that he claims
that he has never punished his
children severely and only when
he thought they needed and de
served punishment has he whip
ped them. He is a man of some
property and aside from the rep
utation he has made for punish
ing his children is good citi-
zen, Whether it is jus; or not
we are not able TO say, but he
has made the reputation of being
far too ruel in the way he pun
ishcs his children. His wife died
a few years ago and he lives
alone with his little ones, the old
"st girl doing the house work.

of the accretions from the water

that much of this has been

the world was reading with keen

percentage of the population was

Somewhat in the same way,
doubtless, citizens of other places
have been sitting back comforta-

shady piazzas slipping water from
nearby wells or affluent streams
and fondly picturing the people
OF Charlotte as famine-struck as
mirage-ridden wanderers in the
desert sands of Sahara, with
tongues extended from swollen
mouths barely able to gasp,"Gim-

the aforementioned nonresident
citizens pat themselves metaphor,
