THREE SUICIDES IN 3 MONTHS
Is Record OF Darlington County
IA Blackwell the Latest.

Darlington, January 22:--J A
Blackwell, the third man of this
county in the past three months to
commit suicide, took his life here
today. About IL o'clock this morn
ing note was brought to Police
man Weatherford by a negro girl
of seven years, and it read:
Send a doctor to my house first,
then send to the cemetery for my
body. Goodbye, my darling, / die
for you, goodbye. j A Blackwell.
January %, 1914"
Immediately upon reading this
note Chief Mozingo and Mr. Wealth
erford jumped into passing auto
and rushed to the cemetery, where
they found Mr. Blackwell still alive,
but with bullet hole in his right
temple. A doctor was rushed to the
scene, but could do nothing, as the
wound was necessarily mortal one,
the bullet passing through the brain.
Death did not occur until about
half an hour after the officers
reached there.
Mr. Blackwell was native Of this
county and had for years been en-
ployed by the Coca-Cola Company OF
this place, but more recently he had
charge of the Gulf Refining Com
pany's local station.
Mr. Blackwell was reported to
have been very despondent for some
weeks and, it is stated, repeatedly
said that he intended to end it all
with & shot.
He is survived by his wife, three
children and three brothers, all OF
whom live in Darlington.
