PEOPLES & CQ. 44 - Fourteen Grains of Morphine Ends a Young Man's Life. , Atlanta Constitution. Fourteen grains of morphine put a tragic and sadden end to Remus Jones's life yesterday afternoon. The drug was swallowed with suicidal intent. .Remu3 Jones was a young man well known about town, and the intelligence of his self-destruction created quite a sensation throughout the city last night He and his twin brother, Rufus Jones, were born and reared in Atlanta, and are known by. nearly every one of their age who^ claim. Atlanta as their place of na? tivity. The two boys were alike?so much so that only their most intimate friends .could tell one. from the other. Their family," though bearing a common name, is one of. the largest and most respected in ' the city. The two boys, however, have not entertained' the most scrupulous respect for their family name, .and since attaining a foothold among men have beeu rather wild and Teckless. Time and time again their names have graced the police records, but upon each entry- almost, whiskey has been assigned as the cause. Remus. Jones appears to. have been more reckless than his brother, and upon many occasions has given the police department considerable trouble. The trouble, though, appears to" have been due to whiskey. "^Several days ago he went upon a spree ;and one day last week-, entered Smith's drug store on Decatur street, where he purchased morphine. Nine grains was the quantity be requested the druggist to do up and for which he paid. As.he handed the. change over the counter and; accepted the package he asked : "Isrthat enough lb kill a man 1" -\f^l . .J'Enbiigh-to kill a map 1"' exclaimed the-druggist. -'Why-it is enough to kill a dozen'. Yb?-ain't -goibg to try it,'.are you?" : " - "That's none of your business," answer? ed Jones; as be walked but. %The'druggiiit soon became .uneasy and requested a friend to watch Jonfs. The "purchaser" up Decatur street, and when ' near Ivy saw him 'throw - the powder into his mouth and wash it down with: a' cup of water from - the artesian plug. The gentleman knew the deadly: nature of the powder," and ' seeing' Patrolman Beard across the street ran to him, say? ing: ^VCV'I::, ^.^That man has swallowed morphine. ,and..enbugh; too to kill you and.me and Kim." '-. %r \ . As he spoke, the gentleman; poin&ed to Jones, and the policeman walked leisure ly across the street to him. On the lap-' pel of the man's coat, Patrolman" Beard sawlia white powder; and : brushing it bff ^?""What's'tbat Remus'??'"' The officer knew JoneB very well and Jones was equally well acquainted with -the .officer.- He glanced down at his coat, saying: ? r^'.'Tbat ? Why, that is morphine." "Morphine ! What are you doiDg with morphine there?" said the officer.. W"OK I have just been taking it;, that's 'aii." ? ^ "Taking it ?:. What for?" ^V>??Why, you'd-^-n fool,T took it to kill; myself; -What do you think" I took it ifor ?" , - ' vV: "How much did you take ?" "That's nohe; of your busibess.'* I^'Well,Til liake'it my. business," re; . marked-the officer. : And in less - than a second Jones was walking beside, the patrolman towards .police headquarters. | Before reaching the prison the patrolman caused two . or three physicians to be summoned, and at the prison Jones waB treated. "The effect of the.poison was overcame, and after passing the: night in the prison he was released." Ab he walked out of the sta tionhouse, he said: ' ?-?.'That's all right, but I'll do it yet? am tired ?f living and will-finish it.?. ;, ? -Thai-night Joneswas again a guest of cihe Mcity, and becauseVhe wouId not obey |th?5rules;of:. the prieon;.^wasiBent to the darkrcell. The next morning'he paid the fine assented, and was released. Since -then .nothing has given him notoriety un " til last night. ? r During the morning,-Jones left biB wife and children, who reside on Butler street': and just before noon called at his sister's home, No. ,153 Hunter street. Mrs. Smith knew her brother's fault, and; quickly: observed that he had been drink? ing. - He, walked into'.the sitting room, and lying down on a'lounge soon went to sleep. About half past one he awoke, and, 'getting, up,'-began talking to his sister about biB appetite for whisky. "I don't know," he* said, "how to overcome it unless I kill myself." y'^r, . Mrs. Smith bad frequently beard her brother talk of self-destruction, and.had grown accustomed to .it. She had no fears that he'would attempt it, and in a tone of love and sympathy remarked t : ? "That's all right brother. You will come out all right yet. Let me make you a cup of coffee." \:|iThe young man refused the coffee and walked out the front door murmuring something to himself. Mrs. Smith looked at him as J*e disappeared, and then walking out upon the back veranda bus? ied herself with some work. A half hour later; as. she 'was still upon the back veranda, her brother came- through the back yard and mounting the sfeps said : - V"Well, I will finish this. I have made up my mind." .As he spoke he drew a small white envelope from his pocket, and as his sister glanced up from her work at him he was tearing the end off. She saw at.a glance the skull and cross bone marks upon the paper, and knowing that they indicate,.! poison, asked : V:^^ ; : '; . "What do you mean, brother?" 5 ''Nothing, only I have morphine here, and am going to take it." jj He poured the white powder from the envelope into the palm of his: hand, and raising the hand to the mouth, dashed the poison in. The sister sprang toward the boy as he raised his hand and struck it. The lick was to time to dash a part of the morphine to the floor, but the greater portion went into the mouth. Jones then quietly drank some water from a dipper attached to the well bucket, washiog the deadly drug down. Mrs. Smith was almost frantic, and throwing her arms around her brother began sobbing. "There's-no use of that," said he, "I can't quit l'quor and I want to die." He quietly disengaged his Mister's arms and walking into a room laid down. Mrs. Smith hurried across the street to the Ballard transfer etib'e and called h-r busband. S. H. Smith, master ear builder at .the Richmond & Danvillo railway shop*. She then 'phnntd fur Dr; iMore land, Dr. Ga-aui.?, Dr.' Murray and Dr. Benson, and hurriedly returned to her room. She found *her" brother perfectly quiet, and as she entered the room, be greeted her with a smile, i "Don't worry about me sister," he said, "it soon will be over." "Oh, how could you do it ?" asked the sister. "Hold up; the doctors will soon be here, and vou will soon get over it." " ? 'T don't want to get over it," he said. "Pray for me. No, not for me, but fur my soul. Don't pray for me to get well but pray that T may be saved." Thesister knelt by the brother, sobbing fit to break her heart. "Don't do that," he said, laying his hand upon her head. "I want to die. I don't want to live a drunkard. I' have tried to quit drinking and I can't. I bad I rather?die?than?to-live- a-d r u n k ard." His voice began to weaken, bis eyelids tremb'ed and off into an unconscious state he drifted, The doctors arrived just as he began to lose himself, and went to work with a will. Every antidote known was brought into ime, but without any good. He continued to sink, and about dark tbe last spark of life went out. After Jone s's dta h, his sister picked up the onvelopo which her brother bad torn open on the back porch by the well. It bore the trade mark of Gregory, the druggist on Frazier and Fair streets On it was-wrilten: "14 grains morphine.'' Then in each corner the druggist had made wjth :h'i8 pen, the skull and'erosa bones. The poison had Been purchased at Gregory's. It appears that when Jones left his sister's, he went to tbe drug store and bought the morphine. He wanted to be certain that he had enough to do the work, and asked: "Is there enough here to kill a man ?" "There is enough there to kill twenty eight men," answered the druggist. - Jones's twin brother was in the city knocking about, and soon after dark called at his sister's home. He had not heard of the sudden death, and was almost prostrated. He and his brother were devoted to each other. The father and mother of the dead.boy are now living at A us tell, and were telegraphed for last night. They will reach the city this morning and after their arrival the arrangements for tbe funeral will be made. It will take place, from the residence of Mr. Smith and the remains will be inter? red in Oakland cemetery. Mr. Z. H. Smith, of the water board, and Mr. John Thompson, tbe Wheat street capitalist, married sisters of tbe suicide. Jones leaves a wife and two children, THE OATS CROP. Directions for the Planting of One of Oar - Most Important Crops. In answer to the questions recently propounded in thi3 paper, tbe following answers have been received. The questions and answers are given below : 1. Was not the planting of oats, on ac? count of frequent' failures, almost aban? doned before Co'. Wyatt Aiken introduc? ed the red rust proof variety, and ^rom whence did he procure the seed ? 2. For a few years after the introduc? tion of the red-rust-proof oats was the pats crop both abundant and certain ? S. Has not the deterioration of the seed caused the failures of the past few years, and would not the importation and use of a fresh supply of seed again ensure good crops.? ? 4." With the poor com crop of this year would it not De advisable to make the ex? periment this fall with fresh seed ? In reply to your first question I would state that the planting of fall cats wgs al? most abandoned before Col. Aiken intro? duced the red-rust-proof variety. I do not know from whence he procured the seed, but one of the most successful far? mers in Abbeville County told me that he had failed for six-years in his crop , of fall oats'before he began sowing them. '?? The oaU crop:was abundant and certain for several years after they were introduc? ed. In 1880 I purchased Ted rust-proof seed from Gen'. Bratton, who told me that "they"/were-not the purest and would dete? riorate ; but although the winter of 1881 was as severe as any we have had aince, I made a magnificent crop. I succeeded for three successive years, making large yields.. .The fourth year my estimate was half of a full crop, arid since then I have failed.in the fall sowing. I believe this failure due entirely to the deterioration of the seed, for I have plant? ed them at the right season. Of late I years a Texas variety, said to be red rust? proof, is used throughout our country, and from them I have never seen a fall icrop of oats. I believe the demand for pure rust proof seed to be imperative, and the farmers of Fairfield should endeavor, to. secure them and plant at once. The Alliance should^ take bold of the matter and-see that their members do so. It has been my observation in many instances, especially with small farmers, that they plant their oats on the most inferior lands This is a mistake. The bats should : be-planted on the best quality of soil, ploughed in with emalf side plough hoes and harrowed till the soil is thoroughly > pulverised.: Use pure rust proof seed. Prepare the land worth planting in the above manner, and there will be no disappointment in tbe fall sowing. ' ?. But how ma ay plant land that they know will not be-remunerative. There is many an acre on every farm that I have visited in Fairfield County, planted in cotton, which, if the planter would ask himself tbel^jfestioD, will this pay? has -'not this soil been exhausted ? would be turned into pasturage or allowed to rest, but they decide that <\ certain number of acres'must be planted, and in many in? stances with .all of its vegetable matter worn out; such land-is planted,, thereby throwing away the exertions of tQe plant? er for a pittance?feeding mules'to culti? vate it on corn purchased at lien prices and paying the negro with money borrowed at ruinous rates of interest. I believe in the. intensive syr-tem of farming, although up to this time I have not practiced it. Our people very seldom ask themselves if they are making money or-losing it. As a general thing tbey. keep no books and cannot tell where they stand. They are satisfied with the knowledge that they are following the same occupation and methods used in the antebellum days when their grandfathers made fortunes or their fathers provided t every com fort for their families; but they never stop to think that times and customs change, that we have, no more original woods to clear, and that the substance bas been gradually drained out of the soil. [That with the impoverishment of the I land they themselves become poorer as each: year rolls round. . Cattle, the principal ingredients of successful farm? ing, are little prized, and almost all of our mules and horses are purchased from a distance. -The Eastern, the Northwest, or the Western business man drops any occupation or changes bis system as soon as he convinces himself that it does not .pay ; but.in our Southern land if this is done by one. who would better his condition, bis neighbors immediately say : "Poor fellow, he. has good qualities, but he is too changeable and speculative to succeed." But I am digressing and giving you more than you asked for, but I must add that in my spinion we have the best climate iu tbe world; land as generous, when properly fed, as any on eartb, labor that, with proper direction and under tbe control of a firm and just hand is second to none. Free from any plagues that effect man or beast, with pasture lands, when comparing the prices at which they can be purchased as profitable as any in the blue grass regions, we ought to be a prosperous and happy people, and if we are not so, the fault is not in our govern? ment, not in our stars, but iu ourselves. ?John G.

Tbe first of the two amendments is submitted by authority of a joint resolu tion of the General Assembly which was approved December 19,1887, and relates to the Court of Probate. It proposes to amend Article IV of the Constitution so that Section 20 shall read as follows: "A Court of. Probate shall be estab lished in each county, with jurisdiction in all matters testamentary and of ad? ministration in business pertaining to minors, and the allotment of dower, in cases of idiocy and lunacy and persons non compos mentis. The judge of said Courtshall be elected by the qualified electors of the respective counties for a term of four years. The only change in in extending the term of the Probate Judge from two yeais to four. So that the election of Probate Judge, if the amendment be adopted, will take place every four years hereafter, instead of every two years, as at present. 2. The second amendment to. the Constitution is submitted by a joint reso? lution of the General Assembly which was approved December 19, 1887, and proposes to strike out Section 2 of Article 10 of the Constitution. The section proposed to be strickeu out is as follows: "There shall be elected biennially, in each county, by the qualified electors thereof, one school commissioner, the said commissioners to constitute a State board of education, of which the State Super ientendent shall, by virtue of his office, be chairman ; the powers, duties and compensation of the members of said board shall be determined by law." Tbe effect of the adoption of this amendment will be to give-tbe Legisla tore the entire control of tbe manner of appointing or electing the school com mis?ioners, and of the duties and com Sensation of the State board of education. hiB, therefore, is a highly important matter. It has been stoutly argued that tbe State board of education cr-n be made stronger and the administration of tbe public schools be improved, if the commissioners of the respective counties be appointed instead of being 'elected, and that a change in tbe structure of the State board of education can be made with advantage.?Nexcs and Courier. Tbe Grass Crop, The value of the grass crop of the world exceeds tbe value of any other crop. Grass is king. The highest priced lands in tbe world are grass lands. It is stated that artificial meadows in England rent as high as $20 per acre, and rarely lei-s than $10. This class of land rents for more than cultivated lands. In Hol? land, where the population is vtry dense, tbe highest priced lands are those in gras?. In this country?notably the dairy districts of New York and the blue grass region of Kentucky?those lands well set in choice grasses are the highest priced and most profitable. Grass is* king?not because it pays the beat profit of any general crop, for tbe labor aud expense employed, in Europe, in this country, and in all portions of the world where there is a high degree of civilization ex? isting, but because this crop is more general and more abundant than any other, and enters more largely than any other into the support and maintenance of both man and beast and of fowls It is nature's chief, best gift to man in the way of an agricultural crop.' Few indeed are tbe lands that grass of some kind does not grow upon spontaneously. It Covers tbe waste p'ace* and makes tbem beautiful. It is the surest of all agencies for tbe-maintenance and recuperation of soil fertility: It. is nature's own reator er: It grows in the day and in tbe night, week days and Sunday. Tbe farmer who devotes the major portion of bis land and his attention to tbe gras j crop, combined with stock raising, is tbe one most apt to succeed. Tbe most successful and inde? pendent farmers, as a rule,*are those who grow grass as their chief crop, and raise stock enough to consume it on the farm. The highest priced agricultural lands we have are in sections of country where this system is adopted; bere we find more intelligence among the rural popu? lation and more evidences of substantial .thrift on the farms and in the farm houses. ? Here we find the highest degree of wealth, refinement and culture among the agricultural, class. Grass is king ? Southern Live Stock Journal. The Awful Experience of a Diver. San Fbancisco, Oct. 3.?Recently the Pacific Coast Steamship Company employed Victor Hinston, a professional diver, at $150 per day, to go down and examine tbe machinery of tbe stetonr City of Chester, which was sunk in the waters of Golden Gate last August by collision with the Oceanic. The diver located tbe vessel in fifty fathoms of water, cut in two as if by an immense saw. While looking into the steerage the first thing which met his eyes was tbe form of a man standing with dis? torted face and tongue hanging from hiB mouth. The body was swollen to twice its natural size. Going a little further aft he saw another victim of that wreck on hia knees grasping a tbird man around the waist. The diver returned to the surface and reported his discovery to the officers, but nothing could induce him to return to tbe wreck. A Word for Wire-Beaterp.
