SUICIDE VERDICT IX HAUG CASE. r*r? RAnnrt of Detectives Coroner's I Jury so Finds. Thomasville. Ga., Oct. 16?On the report of the detectives at work on the mystery surrounding the death of Miss Dorothy Haug here Monday morning, the coroner's jury this afternoon returned a verdict of sui? cide. BEAUTIFUL WEDDING. Miss Ottie Simmons Becomes Bride of Mr. B. A. Ayer. Beautiful indeed was the scene at the Baptist church in this city Tuesday evening, when at 6.30 o'clock Minn nttia iimmnnc T\*a? wedded to ?i iar> uiuc uui .iiviiL, .- . .Mr. R. A. Ayer. The church had been decorated in chrysanthemums and evergreen, it being a yellow chrysantheum wedding, this being the color scheme throughout. Just before the bridal party entered, Mrs. H. X. Folk sang a beautiful solo. Music was furnished by the Dixie Orchestra, composed of Miss Urma Black, piano; Dr. O. D. Faust, violin, Mr. C. W. Rentz, cornet; and Mr. C. E. Black, bass violin. The ushers were Messrs. W. A. Klauber, H. X. Folk, J. Frank Folk, and W. A. Dickinson. When the strains of Mendelssohn's Wedding March announced the arrival of the bridal party, the ushers preceded the attendants into the church in the following order: Mr. H. L. Hinnant with Miss Minnie Lee Ayer; Dr. T. J. Kelly with Miss Alma Black; Mr. T. B. Felder with Miss Belle Cooner; Dr. Chas. F. Black with Miss Xettie Berry; Mr. Henry Kearse with Miss Ethel Black, the gentlemen coming up one aisle and the ladies the other, each couple alternating. The maid of honor, Miss Marian Simmons, came up the left aisle, followed by the bride, who came in on the arm of her brother, Mr. J. J. Simmons. The groom, accompanied by his best man, Mr. F. Chas. Ayer, came in irom me reai of the pulpit, meeting the bride in front of the chancel, where Rev. W. R. McMillan pronounced the solemn words which made them husband and wife, the ushers and attendants being ranged on each side of the couple and minister. On retiring from the church, the bridal party came out in reverse order, while the orchestra played Lohengrin's Wedding March. The gentlemen wore regulation evening dress, while the bridesmaids wore lovely dresses of yellow brocaded silk and carried yellow chrysantheums. The maid of honor was attired in a beautiful blue mousseline de soie, the bride wearing a lovely gown of cream satin, en train, with bridal veil and orange blossoms. The flower girls were little Myrtle Black and Carrie Simmons, who entered the church up the left aisle. Mr. and Mrs. Ayer took the eight o'clock train for a trip of a few days, after which they will be at home to their friends at the residence, of the bride's mother. The bride is a daughter of Mrs. C. E. Simmons, and is a lovely young lady of much personal charm, having a number of warm friends. She graduated at Greenville Female College last year. The groom is a most estimable young man, of fine character. He is now head salesman at Klauber's dry goods store, and his friends are all who know him. They start life with the hearty good wishes of so many people that it seems there should be no clouds in the sky of their future. They received a large number of lovely and costly wedding presents, in silver, cut glass, etc. An elegant reception was tendered the bridal party Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's mother, Mrs. C. E. Simmons. Coming Court. The regular fall term court of general sessions for Bamberg county will convene in this city on Monday morning, November 10th. Judge Geo. W. Gage will preside.

Were the older generation of jockeys a stronger and hardier breed than those of the present day? This is the question, says Pearson's Weekly, that many people have been i?% /v iv* th a lo m onto } * 1 o clt>iv. IIIg , 111 > 1C ? ui L iic IHiutuiuuiv breakdown a short time ago of Frank Wootton. due to the severe wasting he had to undergo before the opening of the season. The truth is, probably that it is not so much a difference in the men, or their stamina; the change is in the methods jockeys now adopt in order to rid themselves of the superfluous flesh that they have put on during the winter months. In the old days they used to walk fifteen or twenty miles a day swathed in half a dozen sweaters. Now it is Turkish baths and medicines?a far more weakening process. It was this regime that killed poor Archer. A fortnight before his death he rode in a race in Ireland at nine stone four pounds. This was on a Tuesday. The following Thursday he rode again at eight stone twelve pounds. Then, on the Wednesday following, he rode St. Mirin in the Cambridgeshire at eight stone six pounds He never rode again. As everybody knows, he went home in a raging fever. became delirious, and took his own life in a fit of insanity. r " - J lrir. rvr?Af^O. li ever a uitu iui ma sion, Archer did. Poor Luke Snowden, an elder brother of the famous Jem Snowden, wasted very hard in order to ride a horse named Claire at seven stone six pounds. He walked about all night prior to the race, wearing four sweaters and a heavy horserug, and would not so much as moisten his lips with a drop of water, lest he should be tempted to swallow some. He won the race, but fell out of the saddle in a swoon at its conclusion, and had to be carried to his bed, where he died three days later. Then there is the case of "Tiny" Wells, who fainted on the race course after getting down to five stone five pounds from six stone three pounds in seventeen hours?a seemingly incredibly feat. Sam Day, another famous old-time Jockey, used to boast that he could "kill a town wasting." whatever that might mean. He certainly came near to killing himself on many occasions, for owing to his lowered strength and vitality, due to the heroic methods he adopted, he met with so many accidents while riding that at different times he broke practically every bone * 1 ? ~ o-Vif orm in ftis ooay, excepuug ma n&m. aim, but including his skull and jaw, while one leg was fractured twice. John Wells, the tallest and biggest jockey who ever rode at eight stone seven pounds, used to walk twentytwo miles in four hours with four suits of sweaters on when wasting for an important race, and live on dry toast with an occasional glassful of soda water. He dared not, he used to say, yield to the natural cravings of his appetite, as upon one occasion, when reduced by severe wasting, a single wineglassful of she/ry, which he was induced to partake of, sent his weight bounding up by two pounds. Another jockey famous in the wasting line was Sam Darling. He kept a regular diary of his walks in sweaters during twenty-five years, entering up times and distances, and on his retirement he found that he had totalled up just over 5,000 miles. Most present-day jockeys would probably prefer to this the methods now in vogue, although not all of them, of course, rely exclusively, or even principally, on "wasting mix tures" and Turkish baths. Otto Madden, for instance, pinned his faith to open-air exercise, and plenty of it, and with excellent results, judging by his performances. Yet he used to put on flesh exceedingly fast during the winter. Another famous jockey was discovered one Easter Monday in heavy flannels, and armed with a peacockfeather "tickler," chasing a lot of girls on Hempstead Heath, and being chased by them in return. "Finest thing out," he exclaimed on being expostulated with by a friend,"makes you fit as a fiddle." This Boy Does All Backwards. Huntington, W. Va., October 18.? Russell Baker, eight, has been attending school for two years anil makes all his letters and figures upside down. He writes from left to right and sings his low notes high and his high notes low. Dr. C. M. Hawes, accompanied by nr T.indscv Vinson, specialist in children's diseases, spent hours with the child endeavoring to find exactly what was wrong, but they confess themselves mystified. The only explanation they attempt it that the boy's mind and sight are as a camera's eye, in which everything is upside down. The boy is perfectly normal and has no other defects.
