The Lexington County Farmers'
Union met in the court house 011 last
Saturday. Nearly every Union in the
county was represented and much in-fcerest
was manifested. While there
was nothing given out for publication,
it is a known fact that the Union men
* in this county have resolved to use
every honest effort- to get the price of
--cotton raised and keep it up. This is
the right spirit and if other Unions
will stick together good results are
bound to follow. The next meeting
will be held in December.

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?

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

The burial will take place this
morning at 11 o'clock. The funeral
services will be conducted from Mt.

deceased was a member. The sympathy
