FARR TOOK HIS OWN LIFE ADJUST BEEN ELECTED SUPERINTENDENT OF EDUCATION. | 10 CAUSE HAS BEEN FOUND. IS ACTION WAS A GREAT SORVRISE TO THE ME 'IBERS OF HIS FAMILY. News was brought to the city Mon I ay that John D. Farr, recently elec- 1 id superintendent of education for ] iexington county, had committed 11 licide at his residence in Chapin, a nail station 23 miles from Columbia n the Columbia, Newberry & Lau:ns road. The suicide occurred du- i ng the early hours of yesterday ; lorning. So far as is known there as no cause for this act and the tembers of the family of Prof. Farr rc at a loss to know why he should avc taken his own life. Monday night Mrs. Farr was aakened by a noise in the room and bserved that her husband was up nd walking about. This was some me after midnight and Mrs. Farr tade no mention to her husband ! bout being up c t this hour nor did ie think of anything unusual in his tanner at the time. In a few mintes he left the room and still the itc paid no attention to what Mr. 'arr was doing. Within a half hour alter Mr. Farr ad gotten up, Mrs. Farr heard the sport of a gun but she still did not onnect this with th\ absence of her usband. But, when \he did not re- ? urr? within an hour she got up and cave th<WJ-arm. Neighbors were calico Ui id- se-rch aspm 'die prem , iscs revealed the tact T?,*n tin. gun that belonged to Mr. Farr and had been kept in the bedroom was not in its place. This excited some suspicion and a more thorough search was made about the yard. | On entering the barn the horrible sight of a dead body with the head blown away and the brains scattered over the barn floor met the eyes of the searchers. The gun belonging to Mr. Farr wa found by {he s^e ' ri r? Kn. : 1 nn'nfoa Ul.n 1'WllllV.U I ji i I UiSld l\U Uiy to the fact that the dead man had committed ? nicide. Mr. Farr had repaired to the barn to take his life an 1 had laid 1 :s plans well in the cai'yhoar of mo: tun ? that much was shown by the body cold in death will, the toj of his head blown entire.y off. When the body was found'die h d been extinct for more than an hour and a half. With no inaneial embarassment, with family relations all that could he he ired and with no other trouble j so fat as was known to his fellow nan i. i t ha: i to find a cause for the .a ..a '. Dr. 11. Kleazcr, who was Mr. 1 arr's physician, was here yesterday and hi speaking of the suicide expressed surprise that Mr. Far. . hould have taken his life. "I haw treated.him for some nervous trouble," said Dr. Eleazer, "and he was nan of nervous temperament, but h:i>si.icicie could not be attribute . a ... tt. . like this. He was a v.tii u;? we wai and he will be ni .oCv. by t. c community in which he resided." i'herc is some slight evidence that Mr. Farr's ndnd was unbalanced at ti.e ti.ne h committed suicide, caking to friend Sunday, the ay before he took his life, Mr. Farr rc u . k 1431 snowea no was i ! ler ; lental depression. ; My mind is all torn up.
