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

and starts up with terror--all sugguest
