SUICIDES FOLLOW
in WAKE OF WAR

New York, March 5.--Reaction fol
lowing the war was blamed tonight b,
the Save-aLife league for the larg
number of suicides in 1921, 10000 o
which were estimated to have takcl
place in this country. The number O
cases brought to the leagues atten
ton was 12,144, Of which 8,140 wcr,

of the league, has caused commercial

troll. With improved business. which
is sure to come. the suicide rate will
be reduced and prosperity and happi-
ness will return"
y One of the striking features of the
report is the increase in the number
of suicides Of children which was All
in 1919; 707 in 1920 and S5S in 1921.
There also were 800 war veterans
among the suicides last year.
All classes Of society were included
in the list of those who took their
own lives. There were ten editors. az
students, 81 school teachers, 81 cler-
gymen, 80 brokers, 81 judges and law
yers, 86 physicians, seven mayors, 8S
heads of large corporations, 76 mil
lionaires, 30 wealthy women and 90
bankers, including 81 bank presidents
The oldest suicide was 100 years and
the youngest five years.
All sorts of reasons are given by
the victims. One man hanged himself
because his wife was "too good" for
him; another because his wife was
spending all his money; another be-.
cause he could not stand the noise of a
Eeighbor's piano and another because
his wife refused to kiss him. :.

note that 9no man in the world is good

In New York city there were $40
suicides last year, an increase of lob
over 1920.
Ireland has fewer suicides than any
other country on earth, Mr.. Warren
declared in his comment on world
onditions. Germany leads the world,
especially in child suicide. Japan has
many thousands of suicides annually
and China is said to have half mil
lion every year.

SUDDEN DEATH OF M. G. CAULT
GREAT SHOCK TO COMMUNITY

M. c. Gault, well known to all the
readers of The Times as "Moxy." died
very suddenly just after making an
| address to the Sunday school at New
Hope church yesterday morning about
III O'Clock. He had made speech,
as he freqently did, and having sat
down, took out his watch and looked
at it, suddenly gasped two or three
times, and when friends gathered
about him and carried him into the
yard, he was dead. His death came
in five or ten minutes from the time
he ceased speaking.
The news of "Moxy's" death will be
received throughout the county with
genuine sorrow. He was greatly be.
loved by many. Every home in the
comfy was open to him, and he often
made the rounds Of the county, having
been for several years field represen-
tative of The Times. He has written
many letters to The Times, and was
known and loved by many.
Mr.. Gault is survived by the follow
ing children: A. L. Gault. c.. l..
Gault, j. B. Gault and Mrs. R. c. Lit
tie, all Of this county, and Mrs. w. S.
Edmonds, of Spartanburg. He has one
surviving sister, Mrs. T. b. Kelly of
this county. His wife preceded him
tc the grave some ten years.
Mr.. Gault would have been 63 years
IF age on July 20, of this year. His
home was less than half mile from
The spot where he was born.
He was a member of the fraternal
order, Woodmen of the World, and of
New Hope Methodist church. For
many years he has been active in
church and Sunday school circles, of
ten going as a delegate to the Meth
odist state conferences. He died lit
orally "in harness." having just fin
ished speech to the Sunday school
at New Hope. 1t was not known that
he was i'll. On last Wednesday he
complained of having a headache, but
Saturday went to Jonesville with one
OF his sons. Sunday morning he got

and at all our gatherings he brought
good cheer and good fellowship. In
that inner circle he will be sadly
missed. The Times Editor has lost
one of his best friends and The Times

was gentle, kind Of heart and strong
in friendship. He was loyal Christ

into higher sphere.

place the greater portion of last

were fired on. Police hurried to thn
spot and engaged in duel with the
gunner. There were no casualtie.
aside from the wounding of two men
of q party of troops who were pass
ing at the time.
Tonight most of the churches were
sparsely attended, owing to the in
cesssant machine gun fire. Through
out the day and evening the news
paper Offices were overwhelmed with
telephone calls from people anxious
to know the nature and extent Of the
disorders.
Owen Hughes was shot and killed
while riding in a street car in the
York street district of this city last
night. A bomb was thrown into the
home of John Press on Lanark street
during the night and one of his sons
and two daughters were wounded.
One of the young women is believed
to have been dangerously injured.
There were numerous disorders
throughout the city during the night.
Saturday night in the York street
district of Belfast was one of the
worst since August. For hours, be-
fore and after the curfew, firing was
general over a wide area. Stimuli
