Polite and Prr PROF. JOHN D. FARB SLOWS OUT SIS BRAINS Superintendent of Education ElectProminent Educator and Most Estimable Citizen?Leaves Wife and One Daughter. One of the mo9t shocking tragedies that has ever occurred in Lexington county, occurred at the little town of Chapin, about fifteen miles from Lexington, early yesterday morning when Prof. John D. Farr quietly left his wife and daughter and went out into I his barn and there with a single-barrelled shot gun blew out his brains, the entire top of his head being torn off by the load. Coroner Clark was notified by telephone and left immediatel3r for the scene. Upon investigation it was learned that Mr. Farr had not been in the best of health for the past two weeks, being extremely nervous ar times, but little did his family and friends think that he was so soon to take his own life. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning the report of a gun aroused Mrs. Farr fromhermorning slumber and upon investigation jfh^ found that her husband had lett his room and upon iurtner investigation she found that his gun was gone also. Mrs. Farr awakened her daughter and nearby neighbors wTere summoned. After searching: for a short while the dead body of Mr. Farr was found in the barn, where he had evidently gone to end his own existence. At the inquest yesterday Mrs. Farr stated that Mr. Farr on Sunday, while in a very high nervous state, told her that some men committed suicide when they reached the condition that his mind was in. She stated also that he seemed to brood over the fact that his daughter was soon to leave for Winthrop College and his election to the office of superintendent of educa? ? ? -?U ? A Ann ' t V* i O 4" LlOIl WOIUU lieoessiUcLbc ma uuiiinig iu Lexington and that 9be would be left alone at Cbapin. But this soon passed over and was not thought of again until the report of the gun. Miss Maud Farr, who recently won a Winfchrop scholarship, was to have I left for tfcodk'Hill yesterday, and her father had made all arrangements to accompany her. 3 But just why John D. Farr should want to kill himself will perhaps forever remain a mystery to his friends. He had only a few weeks ago been elected comity superintendent of education by a flattering vote. He was loved, honored and esteemed by his fellow citiaens, and his wife and daughter were perfectly devoted to him. He was 41 years of age and is survived by his wife, who was before her mnmiiifta Mioo 'Aria "EVinlr HtincrVitpr AUOi^lO^U iUlOO XXVIU A. AAVUf of the Jhte Capt. R. W. Frick, of Ohapin, and one daughter, Miss Maud Farr. . The burial will take place this morning at 11 o'clock. The funeral services will be conducted from Mt. Horeb Lutheran church, of whioh the deceased was a member. The sympathy Of a large circle of friends i9 extended to the bereaved wife and 'fatherless daughter.
