Red Cross Membership
Increased In Brunswick

SOUTHPORT. Nov. IS. - The
Brunswick County Red Cross mem
bership increased from Sc in 1889 to
213 with the closing Of the annual
roll call this week. The increase is
largely due to the painstaking eff
forts of Mrs. j. NJ. Harper, Jr., who
had charge of the 1910 roll call. She
is modestly passing on much of the
credit to the Brunswick county
school teachers and four other as
sistants, Mrs. J. L. Henry of Winnie
bow: Mrs. Floyd Kirby, Supply; Mrs.
J. A. Russ and Miss Mae Masterlize
of Shallotte.
The Rev. A. L. Brown had charge
of the work with the school teachers
and it is worthy of note that the
white school teachers of the county
joined one hundred percent.

JESSE LIVERM0RE
COMMITS SUICIDE
Writes Note Saying He Is
Tired Of Fighting And
Shoots Himself

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-R-
Jesse l.. Livermore, 81, former
boy Wonder of Wall street." who
made $4,000, 900 from a $40 stake
only to go bankrupt 1our times
wrote a note today saying he
was tired of fighting'' and shot
himself to death.
He killed himself as he sat in
an easy chair of a first-floor ante
room at the fashionable Sherry
Netherland hotel.
The former office boy, who made
himself the terror of less talenteS
market operators, had been OBJ
served by hotel attendants making
numerous notations in a small
memorandum book a short time
earlier.
In the book police found an eight
page message addressed to Dear
Nina" a pet name for his wife,
Harriet. Signed Laurie" an alb
breviation of his second name
Lauriston, the note concluded:
Il am tired of fighting. I can't
go on"
He had eaten lunch at the hotels
bar, spending about two hours over
the meal and writing in the book.
Several hours later he returned,
had several drinks, made a few
more entries in the book
and then went to the ante-room of
the washroom.
There, the police said, he sal
down and fired one shot with a
.32-calibre revolver, the bullet
striking behind his right ear.
Patrick Murray, superintendent
OF. service in the hotel, rushed ir
upon hearing the shot and sum
moned police. Livermore was deac
before a doctor could rive.
His son, Jesse, Jr., %, who was
accidentally shot five years ago by
his mother-the elder Livermore'.
divorced second wife-hurried t.

market colleagues, the elder Liver.

ment announcing publication of his
book. 'How to Trade in Stocks,
that "blind chance never entered
into, his market operations.
He explained that he had used
st h Liverm NJ a r K e l.
KEY" which he said was a method
of keeping stock market prices and
gave indications when to buy and
when to sell. Each move, he de-
clared, was "~buttressed by re-
search, patience and a singular
genius"
Livermore lost his fourth success
sive fortune about six years ago.
Early in 1889 it was reported he was
making another comeback, but no
thing developed.
Livermore first witnessed stock
speculation at the age of 16 when,
newly arrived from a farm at West
Acton, Mass, he went to work as
an office boy in a Boston brokerage
house.
Bucketshops prevailed in those
days-places where stocks could be
played like horses, on bets of 50 and
up. Livermore played them and
won a capital of $500 by the time
ne was Is.
In 1908, he came to New York and
again headed for the bucketshops.
Those he didn't ruin were wiped out
later by law.
His first fortune was made in 1905
when he went long" on Anaconda
Copper when it doomed. He ran his
luck to $4,000, 900, and then went
short" at just the right moment in
the 1907 panic.
He continued to increase his
wealth until, finally, in 1915, he lost
it all in the wartime markets.. His
debts were enormous, but two years
later he a~nnounced:
