has but little effect upon the
outside world, but ah! how much
does it mean to those whose ba

world can bring that sharp,
wrenching, despairing agony
that comes when baby dies.
Stilled forever the prattling
tongue, the pattering feet and
restless hands. Oh! God, pity
those who know what this
means.

success.

Elijah White (colored) committed
suicide at his home two
miles from Greelyville about 1
o'clock p m, Monday, April 20,
| shooting- himself in the side
: with a shotgun. It is supposed
that he was temporarily insane.
Yet there seemed to be method
in his madness, as he pulled the
trigger of the gun by using a
stick and emptied the contents
into his body.
A black man named White can
scarcely be blamed for proving
an exception to the rule that a
negro never committs suicide.
