Death of Mr. Joney The entire community, was shocked yesterday morning to hear that .7. Clifton Josey had committed suicide hy shooting hlmsolf through the head with a 32 calibre pistol, at Ills home -nttar Tlllcr'a-Korj^,- about oiluo wlUia from Bl*hopvWe. From Information available It seeips that Mr. Josey got up yesterday morn ing about the u*uul time and went to his dairy banu aud had milked his cows witfo the assistance of a uegvo helper. After ho had finished milk ing he serrt the negro into the feed room for a sack of dairy feed. While the negro was away Mx. Josey sten>ped into a dark corner of the barn, pdaced the pistol Into his month and fired the shot that ended his life, the bullet com ing out of <the top of his head and scat tering the brain on the grouud. The report of the revolver was heard by the negro who called Mr. Josey's son who was in the lot adjoining the barn. At first they did uot know what the noise was, but upon investigation found Mr. Josey'# body with blood coin ing from his head. Medical assistance was sent for but Mr. Josey died before a doctor could be reached, living only about an hour and never regaining consciousness. Mr. Josey had been In poor health for the past two years, and for some time lias been much depressed over financial matters. It is said that his rash act was probably due to these two causes. He is survived by his widow, who was Miss fieaulah Kelley before mar riage, and an only son, Rex. a youth of 20 years, also the following brothers and sisters: W. J. Josey &n<d T. A. Josey, and Mrs. E. %S. Newsome, all of I*?e county, ?jk1 Mrs. Bonnie Brown of Kershaw county, besides numerous other relatives.
