SENDS BULLET INTO BRAIN. Prominent Greenville Man Commits Suicide. . Greenville, May 9: ? Forter Ci I Munn, one of Greenville's most progressive young citizens and a member of the firm of .Jordan & Munn, contractors, shot himself through the head with a pistol at 8 oelock | this morning at his home on North i Main street, dying three hours later. t Mr Munn had just arisen from bed when he fired the shot. His little six-year-old son heard the shot and J rushed up-stairs to find his father; lying on the floor clad in nis paja- j mas, with blood flowing from a bullet wound in his right temple. Mr Munn suffered a nervous breakdown some time ago following a one-day trip from Marion to Greenville in an automobile, but it was thought that he had recovered from this. His business connections were in excellent shape and his home life ideal. Porter C Munn was born in Florence and was 39 years of age. He is survived by a wife and two little children. His wife was formerly Miss Marian Bostick, of Marion. Mr Munn was a director of the Chamber of Commerce, steward of the Buncombe Street Methodist church and was one of the city's most progressive young business men. His tragic death has cast a pall over Greenville. Bank Accounts. A bank account is not a thing of beauty, but it is a very present help in time of trouble. A bank account is an insulation between misfortune and hunger, between no work and no shoes and between old age and the poor-house. Putting money into the bank is one of the least fascinating of occupations. But drawing it out when you haven't any other means of getting it is as pleasant as having it wished on you by a rich uncle. A bank account is on land what a life preserver is at sea. Many a man who has been compelled in the interests of his self-respect to tell his employer to go to thunder and points south, has floated along on his bank account until he could find a new job where they did not put all the honesty in business on placards to hang on the wall. A bank account is as good as two doctors in time of sickness. Many a doctor has emptied gallons of assorted medicines into a worrying man with little effect and has exclaimed in despair that the man had no constitution. But that was not the trouble. The man had no bank account and the grocer was beginning to take off his politeness when the wife came to give an order. If the doctor had emptied $100 into the patient's bank account his appetite would have come back in three days. Still we cannot expect doctors to do this when their rate per visit is only $2 and gasoline is going up every day. A bank account is a bulldog on the front porch in wolf time and in old age it is a rosy sunset. Still a good many men do not like to put money in the bank because the banker will use it and get rich. So they deposit it in the saloon and in a goldplated restaurant in exchange for dyspepsia and a large, permanent thirst. These men are the real socialists. Because later on when they die, they compel us to divide up and pass a little money over to their wives and children.?Atlanta Constitution. Child Cross? Feverish? Sick?
