The Editor of The Clarendon Press Blows His Brains Out Unrequited. Love for a Jewess Supposed to be the Cause. Sumter, Jan. 22. Preston D. Mood. editor of the Clarendon Press and teacher of a successful private school, blew his brains out last night at Man ning, where he resided. It is rumored that the refusal of a fair daughter of Israel to reciprocate his attachment caused the rash act. He whs about 21 ears old, and was the son of Rev. Ienry M. Mood, a distinguished Meth odist minister, and a most exemplary gentleman. The young man was tal ented but erratic some say not always sane. : He was reckless as an editor, and was recently challenged by young Charles Fool on account of newspaper remarks. Both parties were willing to fight, but the seconds could not agree- ii jon the terms, loung Mood was well yesterday, attended a party last evening, and killed himself after returning home. He has a large family connection here. The sad event has ex cited much sympathy. The Mood fam ily are remarkable tor piety and worth, and have furnished several able mem bers to the South Carolina Conference. CHARIOT! E PUBLIC! COMPETITION IS THE LIFE OF TRADE.
