The regular monthly meeting of the
Anderson .county farmers union' will
he held in this city on September 15
according to a letter received hore
today from J. M. . Bravios of Town
vllle, secretary of thc local union.
Naturally, the most important question
to be brought up at this meeting will
be that of selling coton and in all
probability the attendance will- be
much largor at this meeting than ia
usually the case. If anyone In An
derson county can devise some plan
for relleveing tho situation be will be
a benefactor to thc entire South.
Owing to the fact that court will be
In session when this meeting ls held,
it is probable that (he city hall will
bo chosen as the place of meeting.

On account of the absence of Chair
man John Davis, who was to preside
over tho conference called yesterday
for tho livestock dealors of the city,

stated that death must have boen lat
Btantaneous, as,there waa no sign that
she. had struggled amy and no part
of her clothing was disarranged.
A Kote Was Found
Coronr Hardin and Dr. W?hlte
were summoned from Anderson and
when they arrived the body was then
brought to the house, where investiga
tion revealed a note pinned to the
right side of the girl's clothing. The
note said: "I am sorry I had to do
this thing, but there la nothing tome.
I know it ls better for me to dio than
to live, I moan cease breathing, for I
have never lived, because I will give
you less trouble. Do not ahed many
tears over me when you see that the
breath bas left me, but think that t

Do not think that I have not prayed

you know there ls little I can get out
of their life. DO hot let me cast a

do enough good to make up for my
loss. Do not weep for me."
Tb? note waa unsigned the word?
"miserable" and "do not weep for mo"
were heavily' underscored.
When the members pf ino iamiiy
saw the note and were asked; by a
reportar for ? Tfe? Intelligencer as t
wbat reference to trouble she meant,
they said ?.hey hod no idea. They
said that she always seemed to be In
good spirits and recently she seemed
to be especially happy wi ?lalr? uitr
the fact'that" abe-wno to enter Lime
stone^ college^ ai. Oaqney on the 23rd
were preparing har clothes and sha
waa much interested In this. She bad
sever been morose and despondent
until the death of ber, father, -Robert
Smith, which occured one year ago,
and lt ls said that since that time
?he has not been herself. .Sho . waa
rory devoted io her father and th
members of hey family .hellere thai
ike finally grew'so dekporident In th?
brooding Over his death that she de
termined to take her life.
After viewing the body and hearing
he statements In the case, Coroner
Hardin decided that lt waa plainly a
taae of suicide and that no inquest waa
lecessary.
Miss, Smith waa 13 years of age on
lulyv3, and waa very popular tn her
tectlon. She was of a kind disposition
md. always ready toi take part in the
the neighborhood,
.me ls survived, by her mother, and one
ima!I brother and Ave sisters.
Tah gu l waa a member of the New
