After spending a full day in careful
preparation for his departure from this
world. r. +. Jones. 81 years of age,
motion picture show proprietor OF
Covington, drank carbolic acid at 1920
o'clock Thursday morning and died.
The mans body, cold IN death, and
surrounded by numerous letters, which
he had written to relatives and to the
public. was found in Grant park near
Fort Walker. at o'clock Thursday
morning by ]. w. Britt, of 144 Con-
federate avenue, who was on his way
to work
BY his side was the following mes
sage. written on the back of an envel-
ope:
$50 a m. July is, 1s12-Bury me
as you find me. for l am unworthy.
Cayy 307 J. East Point and notify my
wife, Mrs. r. F. Jones, or her sister,
Mrs / d. CampbelI.-R. r.. Jones'"
In the mans pocket was a ten-page
letter to his wife, telling her how to
rear their three children. a Letter to his
aged mother i'm Rome, and letter to a
brother in the same place.
Jones letter to his wife, which was
opened at the coroner's inquest, was a
repetition Of the old story of a battle
against the high cost Of living, waged
unsuccessfully. Ne begged his wife's
about to cause her. wrote in endearing
terms about his children, and ended
with a declaration that the wife would
probably be better off without him,
after his insurance had been collected.
He told her to dispose of his property,
the picture show in Covington He
hoped, he said, that the sale of the
show would clear his Indebtedness to
the bank of Covington, which had
financed the concern.
Jones wanted his wife near him, and
he wanted her to be with her own KIN
in her hour of sorrow and that, rela-
tives say. is the reason he elected to
end his life in Atlanta.

and talked eheerfully with many friend
IN the city. About 10 o'clock Wednes-

REPORT OF FARMERS
NOT BAD AS FEARED
Cspecial pispatch to The Journal0

Especial Dispatch to The Journal
QUITMAN, Ca July 2O.--At the an
nual meeting of the Hickory Head
Farmers club an interesting crop es-
innate was worked up from the re-
ports of the club members. Each
member reported carefully upon The
conditions and prospects of his own
crops and the average was worked Jut
from this as follows: The average
corn crop Is - per cent of that of
last year which was an ideal crop
year the average cotton crop is g.
per cent of a normal crop; oats aver
age 81 per cent; hogs average so Fer
cent.
This crop estimate may be taken as
a fairly correct approximation of crop
conditions In the county. And it is
contrary to the recently published in
terview with Representative Z. II. Beck
in the Morning News. in which he pic
tured crop conditions in the county as
being extremely bad. Most Of the
members Of the Hickory Head stub
ave farms in the south ern part of me
county and 1t is generally true that the
farm lands in the northern section ere
better for cotton and the cotton crops
theFev are superior to the Hickory Head
crops 1t was estimated that the cot
ton acreage has heen reduced Is per
cent from that of last year.
An interesting feature of the club
meeting was the address of Professor
Fain, of the state college of agricul-
ture, on the Importance of seed selsc-
ton in getting good crop yields. The
officers of the club were reelected as
follows: President. j. c. Stanley; vice
president, c. H. Ramsay; secretary. C..
A. Davis. Delegates were appointed to
the meeting of the State Agricultural
society, meeting in Dublin as follows:
j. w. Thrasher, J. G. Mccall, r. L.
Grower.
