SHE SOON WAS SORRY
She HAD TAKEN DOSE
To Destroy Her Own Life-Saved
by Doctors Quick
Work.
The Greensboro Inquirer says:

AN C"NhebpAb -NNAAN+ So
Mrs. William w. Perkins, who re-
sides with her husband on Mont
gomery avenue, near Wing avenue,
in the east end of the city, under
took to end her life Sunday after
noon about $3.50 o'clock by the sui
eide route.
Mrs. Perkins is about 80 years of
age. and is the mother of one child,
little daughter. 1t is understood
that all has not been going we'll
with her and her husband, and re-
Gently they have had frequent quar-
rels, so it is alleged. This trouble
so heavily preyed on her mind that
she finally decided to shuttle off this
mortal coil. Accordingly, while her
husband was lying on the floor
asleep, Mrs. Perkins saw her OPP
portunity and on going to the cup
board, she secured the laudanum
bottle and swallowed its contents,
about one ounce of the drug. Mrs.
Perkins also took one-half ounce of
bromidia. AS soon as the poison be-
gan to take effect. Mrs. Perkins
nerve failed her. She Immediately
aroused her husband, and told him
what she had done. Mr.. Perkins
saw that his wife was in a drowsy
condition. and Immediately secured
the assistance of DR.. Lambert, who,
at that time, was at the municipal
water works.
The prompt arrival of DIR. Lam
bert saved the woman's life, as she
was in a heavy stupor, and regard
ed as critically i'll. DR.. Lambert ap-
piled the stomach pump. and after
administering to her the required
antidotes. soon had the woman out
OF danger.
Mrs. Perkins was resting we'll to-
day, and 1t is not believed that she
will attempt to repeat her rash act
at any time soon.

The latest scheme to get a lot of
ADVERTISING for nothing seems to
be manipulated by a small but well
known Southern railroad. It's idea
is to get the people to write to their
relatives and friends who have gone
West and induce them to come back
to the South, and It is estimated
that in so doing, their return Jour
ney will take them over at least a
portion OF this road. Any portion
of the South would be glad to have
a return of its wanderers in other
States, who are often tired OF their
experiment, but the scheme to get
